" Have you been waiting long?" " No, don't worry." "We should do this more often." "Meeting for lunch like this." " It was a good idea of yours, Sophia." " I'm pregnant." "That's why I wanted to see you." " I thought we could..." " Please..." "Please, Sophia." "I thought we had agreed to wait at least a few years." " Yes, but..." " It's not just my job." "You want to go to drama school." "That'll take 3-4 years." "Then it takes time to get established." "There are many unemployed actors." "I'm sorry." "Of course I want to have children." " But right now..." " You're not the father." "I'm sorry." "It just happened." "I don't know what you imagined." "But I can't accept this." "I..." "We're finished." "Sophia, I understand how you feel." "But a baby..." "Is that such a good idea?" "Has tried to conceive for 7 years." "Journalist." "Married to Roffe." "There's plenty of time for that." " Are you giving up your acting career?" " Who says I want to be an actress?" "Has applied to drama school 6 times, taken part in 2 commercials, and done 513 screen tests." "Have you told Mum?" "Housewife for 37 years." "Former actress." "Administrator at phone company for 37 years." "Former zoot suiter." "Mum gets worried if we catch a cold." "Sometimes you have to trust your intuition." "Single mother of Pixie and Eddie." "Their father is in prison." "Unemployed." "So who's Freddie?" "How can you have a baby by someone you don't know?" "The baby's not due for another seven or eight months." "There's plenty of time." "8 MONTHS LATER" "SHIT HAPPENS" "Isn't she the prettiest thing you've ever seen?" "Isn't she?" "It was...absolutely amazing." "You should've been there." "Stop!" "Don't worry, Sophia." "I can handle it." "I'm a balloonist." "I've been a mountain guide, off-piste expert and diving instructor." "I've flown hang-glider and have held survival courses in Nepal." "I know how people react under extreme circumstances." "The main thing is to avoid dangers you can't handle." "So trust me." "I can handle your parents." "Gina, Sophia and Tina..." "They all slept in this." " That's nice." "Come in." " Thank you." " Hello." " Hello, Mum." " We don't want to disturb you." " It's okay." "I can come back later when you're more settled." "No, come in." "You want to hold her?" "There..." " Be careful, so you don't get splinters." " Yes, I see what you mean." "Oh..." "It has to be assembled." "Isn't she pretty?" "You'll be fine, you'll see." "I'm just remembering what a disaster it was for me the first time." " Did you have a Caesarean too?" " No." "No, I was offered the leading part in "Are There Angels?"." "But I got pregnant and had to turn it down." "What would've happened to Christina Schollin if I'd been in the way?" "We're only parked for half an hour." "The handkerchief..." "We won't disturb you any longer." "Don't hesitate to call me anytime." "I'll come over and help you." "I have Eddie and Pixie on Tuesdays and Thursdays." "But I've kept Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays free for you." "Please, Mum..." "I can do some washing up and cooking and cleaning so you can do what you want." " Go to the gym..." " Mum, you don't have to come over..." " Sweetheart, that's what mothers are for." " But I'm a mother." "Yes, of course." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." " Right, we'll leave you in peace." " Bye, Dad." "Bye, Mum." "Wave to Grandma." "When are you going to christen her?" "Darling..." " Is the christening important to you?" " No, not at all." "I haven't even thought about it." "It's never been a big thing for me." " It's not important to me either." " Good." "So maybe we should go to the summer house for it?" "Since it's not important to us." "You'll get to see our summer house." "You'll meet Gina and Tina." "It'll only be for a few days, then it's over." "You've grown up fast." "Where's your dad?" " He'll get out of prison next summer." " He's busy...unfortunately." " Here's Gina and Roffe." " How marvellous!" "Congratulations." "I know you've waited a long time for this." "But Abraham and Sarah had to wait too." "It was a test from God." "It was actually Sophia who had a baby." "We're the godparents." "But maybe next summer..." "You never know." "I christen you..." "Emma?" "In the name of the Father and the Son..." " Did he say Emma?" " ...and of the Holy Spirit." "Amen." " It's beautiful, isn't it?" " Yes, very." " How did you manage to get a house here?" " Mum and Dad found it in the sixties." "It was old and decrepit and cost nothing." " Where's it located?" " It's right by the sea." "We've spent every summer there and Dad has done it up beautifully." " And Mum's mad about gardening." " It sounds like quite a big place." "Oh, it is." "Last year Gina and Roffe built their own house on the land." " There's plenty of room for everybody." " It sounds like a dream." " It really is." " Wow!" "Stop!" "There it is." " Is this it?" " Yes." " It's lovely, isn't it?" " Yeah..." " I thought you said it was an estate." " It is." " Where's the beach?" " Behind the woods." " Shall we have an early night tonight?" " Yeah." "Here I am!" "It's beautiful." " It's too much trouble, Mum." " No, I love doing this for you." "Please, help yourselves." "Just break off a piece." "You go first." "You know..." "Forgive me, but I've had an idea." "Now that Sophia and Freddie are here with Emma..." "Can they use your garden house tonight?" "Sophia's room is so small." "No, Mum, that's not necessary." "No, definitely not." " Yes, of course." "Absolutely." " Are you sure?" " You're so kind." " Yes, really." " Is it good?" " It's wonderful." "I can't tell you how nice it is to have you all here." "Isn't it, Tage?" "Yes, of course." "Absolutely." "I'll just check that the boiler is working." "It's his retirement this autumn." "He's so worried." "Proof reading the phone book can't be that fulfilling." "Now, listen, Tina, it's a very big responsibility." "But he's as happy as I am to have you all here." "What about Christmas?" "Is everybody coming?" " We haven't had time to..." " We haven't really talked about it." "Don't wait too long." "The train tickets go very quickly." " You can tell they're getting old." " It's not that bad." "They don't listen to us anymore." "Like that cake that nobody wants." "She's been making it for thirty years." " Have you told her?" " What?" "That nobody wants it." "You're mad." "She'd be so upset." " Thirty years." "Isn't that enough?" " I know." "I only make that cake for the girls." "I'd be just as happy not to." "Little Sophia..." "Why can't they use protection these days?" "With a complete stranger..." "What did you say he does?" "Sells balloons?" " He's a balloonist." " Oh, God." "That's dangerous." "Why couldn't she stick to Christoffer?" "At least he was an insurance broker." "I liked him." "Because he got us a good insurance deal on the house?" "He can't be as bad as "Dim"." "That's a relief." "Yes, poor Tina." "Thank God he doesn't get out for another year." " Do you want a shag?" " No." "Okay." "You can't speak to them now." "They're asleep." "What?" "Are you high, or what?" "Listen, I know you haven't seen them for six months." "I'll give them your love and you can speak to them some other day." "I have to go now." "I have to hang up." "If Mum finds out I've called you it'll ruin her whole summer." "Of all the thousands of bloody names, she has to pick Emma." "That's the name I've always been talking about." "Perhaps we'll have a boy." "And then she has the nerve to take our house." "Isn't that outrageous?" " God, this is unbelievable." " Yeah." " 37,2!" " What...?" " You're so cold." " It's the bloody ice." "You're waking the whole house." "Sorry." "Sorry..." "What a holiday!" "Hello!" "Are you going to the beach?" "Yes, but not to our beach." "I'm taking Freddie to Sandhammaren." "Oh, that's nice." "Oh..." "That was "Dim", when he was here a few years ago." "He was drunk as usual and tried to light a hash pipe in the Calor gas-stove." "Is "Dim" some kind of Charles Manson?" "He's just a plain simple idiot." "They met eight years ago while Tina was still at school." "She went on a class trip to a prison." "I don't know how it happened, but "Dim" was always a charming one." "And Tina got herself knocked up straight away." "Their son Pixie was born when he was released a year later." "Tina paid for an old car that they began to restore." ""Dim" is great with cars." "It looked good as new." "The insurance company said it was worth a small fortune." "And, as usual, "Dim" had a wonderful idea..." "He's always been unlucky but this time he didn't even have time to report the car stolen." "While he was in prison for insurance fraud, their second son Eddie was born." "When he was finally released he promised to turn a new leaf." "They found an old junk shop and started converting it into a café." "When it was ready it looked like they had a future together." "But the night before the opening something strange happened." "The insurance company refused to pay for the damage." "They suspected "Dim" for arranging the break-in." "So he was convicted of another insurance fraud?" "No, of assaulting the insurance clerk." " That's why he's inside now." " Right, I get it." "Thank God she's dumped him for good this time." " Where do you want to stop?" " Doesn't matter." "We're all alone." "Wuh hoo, here we are!" " I thought you were going to our beach." " We don't mind changing our plans." "Come along, everybody." "Freddie, isn't it lovely?" " Four kilos." "Did you get nappies, Tina?" " Yeah." "Did you say four kilos?" " That's 2,845 crowns." " Put it on Mum's account." " It's nice to see all three of you here." " Yes, it's nice to be here." "It's typical of Mum." "This is an obscene amount of food." "She's worried that Eddie and Pixie won't get enough to eat." "But we're taking the train home tomorrow." "Are you?" "We were planning to leave tomorrow too." " I'll take you to the station." " Yeah, brilliant." " You're not staying for three weeks?" " I have to get back to work." "Does it matter?" "Mum is so happy to have you here with Emma." "We're leaving tomorrow too." "What?" "Why haven't you said anything?" "What is she going to do with all the food?" "Throw it away?" " I thought you were staying too." " But we're not." " I'm not bloody staying." " No, I heard." "We said it first." "Darling..." "We talked about going home tomorrow." " Couldn't we stay a few more days?" " No." "No." "No." "Just checking." "Let's go." " Go!" " Yeah, yeah..." "I don't get this business with your mum." "Why not just tell her that we're leaving?" "What would she do?" "Nick the car keys?" "It's not that simple in our family." " "Our" family?" "We're your family." " Yes, you too." "We as well?" "Which is it?" "Is it us or them?" "Are we some extended family?" " I don't understand." " That's right." "You haven't cut the cord with your parents yet." "Otherwise we wouldn't have to sneak off like that." " You can talk." " I haven't spoken to my dad in 17 years." "Exactly." " Why is it so important to leave today?" " It's something I planned a long time ago." "It's your mother's birthday today and you have to visit her." " And you'd never change that, would you?" " You know how important this is to me." "You can visit as often as you like, but why does it have to be on her birthday?" "It's something I've decided to do." "She doesn't know the difference." "I'm sorry, but she doesn't." "Sophia?" "Hello." "How are you?" "Hi..." "I'm Daniel." "We worked together a couple of years ago." " I think it was a commercial on nappies." " Oh, right." "Yes, now I remember!" " You were..." " Cut!" " ...the director." " Of course!" " Now I know a bit more about it." " Congratulations." " What are you doing these days?" " I've become a mother." "I wouldn't mind one myself, but it's difficult to find the time." "I'm doing a thriller for TV soon." "It's about a drug addict in the underworld." "But in a completely new style, not as romantic." " More "Pusher", Fassbinder, Kafka..." " Exciting." " Yeah." "I'm researching at the moment." " Okay, bye." "Good luck." "You should've seen his face." "He couldn't believe I didn't remember him." "Of course I recognised him straight away." "That's why it was so great to pretend I didn't care." "Now I have something that's far more important than sucking up to any inept director." " How do you mean suck up?" " A year ago I would've gone up to him..." "I love "Pusher"." "A fantastic film!" "Maybe there's a small part for me...?" " I'll call you." " Okay.." "She's asleep." "Come with me." " What's the matter?" " Come here." " Tell me what you want." " Come here." " What is it?" " Let's take a shower." " I'll get it." " No..." "Sophia speaking." "Hello." "Oh..." "Wow!" "Tomorrow?" "Okay." "Yeah." "Bye." "Fuck, fuck..." "Now!" " It's bloody impossible!" " What's happened?" "Now he calls!" "Now he offers me the leading part!" "A TV series..." "Now!" "Was that him?" "But you just said that you didn't care." "Of course I don't care when I'm not offered anything." "Are you stupid?" "And now she woke up!" "Excuse me..." "Hello." "I had a baby here a few months ago and at the time it felt right." "Now I'm not so sure." "I've been offered a part in a TV series." "Sorry, I'm busy." "Is it a complaint or a return?" " Return, I think." " Second door on the right." "RETURNED BABIES" "Having a baby is not like buying a car or a house." "It's a life-long responsibility." "Sometimes not even we doctors understand what's wrong." " You're a journalist?" " Yes." " Are you under a lot of stress?" " No." " Have you considered adoption?" " Yes, we've discussed it." "We decided it's out of the question." "Having tried for years, many couples get pregnant when they decide to adopt." "When the mental pressure to get pregnant is lifted, suddenly everything seems to work." "Can we apply for adoption and change our mind if we get pregnant?" "No, I mean that the best way for you to have a baby is to stop thinking about having a baby." " How?" " Try to forget about it." "Parenting Magazine, Gina speaking." "Hi, Sophia." "That depends on what you need help with." "Baby-sitting?" "Already?" "You should've thought about that before you got yourself knocked up!" "Having a baby isn't like buying a car or a house that you just get bored with." "This is so bloody typical of you!" "Great!" "Of course I can." "It's only a baby." "They just sit and stare." "Can you do it on Thursday?" "Gina wasn't free then." "Thursday?" "I can't plan ahead." "You have to call me and see if I'm home." "Damn it, Eddie!" "That doesn't work for me." "I haven't asked her yet." "I was hoping I wouldn't have to." "Yeah." "Bye." "Can we get the set ready?" "Take it later." "Watch out, Mum." "Thank you." " Hello." " Hi." " I brought Emma." "I hope that's okay?" " Of course." " Solveig Olsson." " Mum is helping out." " Perfect." "Can we rehearse now?" " Absolutely." "In the first scene you find the drugs at your pimp's place." "You realise that this could be your ticket out of this shithole." "You're alone in the room but you look around like this when you find the drugs as if someone might have seen you with all this." "And then you say..." ""Oh, God, this is at least one kilo."" "Precisely." "Let's try and organise some lights here." "It's up now." "Give me the keys." "You have to fly, I'll take the bus." " What?" "You're not flying?" " Things are calmer at home if I don't." " Just give me the keys." " Is it Her Highness?" " It's definitely Her Highness." " No, it's my own decision." " I have to be responsible." " Tell her it's safer than crossing the road." " Go on!" "Don't you want to fly?" " Of course I do." "Take it easy!" " Don't go too high or too low." " It's cool." "It's prime time." " Hello!" " Hi." "Hello, darling." "I'm so happy." "You know that part I told you about." "It's not the leading part, it's a much smaller part." "I went to see them today and it doesn't seem impossible." "Everything is well planned and they can fit my schedule around Emma." " They were so understanding." " Have you accepted?" "Yes, but look here." "It's only a matter of a few odd days between now and March." "You could have asked me first." "This affects both of us." "Not at all." "I promise." "Mum and Tina will look after Emma on the set." "It's going to be fine." " You won't even notice." " I see." "And neither will Emma?" "Bloody hell!" "Can't you at least give me a chance?" "!" "I waited an hour." "Then I had to go back to work." "What the hell are you talking about?" " Baby clinic." "Two o'clock." " Was that today?" " I'll eat in front of the TV." " Damn..." "I'm sorry." "Our thanks to Tage Olsson for your long and faithful service." "Hello!" "Come in!" "Hello, darling." "Take off your coats." "I'm busy in the kitchen." " Is that Dad?" " Yes..." "I thought retirement would break him." "It's so embarrassing." "He behaves like a teenager." "I don't know." "It's so silly." "Happy birthday, Dad!" "Thanks." "Hello, my little lovebirds." " You look so fit." " I've started going to the gym." "Powerfit...step-ups...one-fitness." " You've got a tan." " There are sunbeds at the gym." "I've told him it gives you cancer." " There's plenty of food." " The roast potatoes are wonderful." " I know you like them." " Mummy's chicken...!" " Tina?" "Did you bring the papers?" " We'll do it later." "What?" "What's going on?" " Just something between Dad and me." " Secrets?" "No, no." "It's not a secret." "Tell them." " Tell us." " Yeah, tell them." " There's a hot dog stand for sale." " Yeah!" "Next to the underground station." "It's a steal." "Once it's restored, you can make 50,000 - 60,000 a month." " Are you serious?" " Let's not exaggerate." " Are you serious?" " Yes." "Isn't it great?" " Yeah." "It just sounds a bit odd." " I told you it's a steal." "What is your role in this?" "Are you lending the money?" " No, no, no..." " They'll be my guarantees." "How much is it?" "Let's talk about something nice." "It costs 250,000." "Why are you so negative?" " We're not negative." " Only realistic." "For once I've got something that might work." "How about some encouragement?" " Sure." "Good luck." "Cheers." " It's going to be fine." "It sounds like an idea from someone beginning with a "D"." "His name is Mattias and he has nothing to do with this!" " Right..." " You don't have children to support." " Please, let's not argue tonight." " What did you say?" "Let's talk about something nice." "Have you got something nice to say?" "Let's hear." "Daddy's released next summer and then we'll see him." "Really?" "Now we'll change the subject." "Mum's film is on TV tonight." ""Are There Angels?"" "We definitely don't have to watch it." "We've already seen it a hundred times." "That was on tape." "This is for real." "It's live." "It makes me nervous." "Let's have a toast to Sophia's leading part on TV." " Is it the leading part?" " No, she's exaggerating." "I've read the script." "She's in every scene." "Five days a week, a lot of overtime." "But Sophia never complains." "Let's watch the film now, Mum." "It could have been you, together with Jarl Kulle..." "You're crazy." "But I'm happy." "I wonder where Christina Schollin would be today if I hadn't..." " Of course I don't regret having you." " Stop going about it, Mum." "You're ruining the film with your chatter." "I've already lost count." " Bye, Mum." " Bye, darling." "You should wear a hat." " Are you sure you don't need any help?" " No, we'll clear up later." "Bye." "Come again soon." "Oh, by the way..." "I've booked all the train tickets." "For Christmas." " When was this decided?" " What?" "About Christmas." "You know I don't want to go down there." "No, I know." "But I didn't think it was that important." "I mean it when I say I don't want to go." "Do I have to put it in writing?" " Now you're being ridiculous." " We planned to go to Mallorca." "We need it." "We've spent Christmas with your family the last 5-6 years." "Yes, that's why it's difficult to suddenly not go." "So it's become a tradition?" "I spent Christmas on Mallorca for many years before I met you." "It would be seen as a statement." "Mum and I have been clashing recently." "Have you really?" "You and your mum?" " Clashed?" " What?" "Now I get it." "We have to go because your mum looks after Emma all the time." "How often does she take Emma?" "It sounded as if it's every day." " She's always exaggerating." " How often is it?" "I'll take paternal leave now, for Emma's sake." " I said I can handle it." " I can look after her." "Damn it!" "I told you I can handle it." " How often does she take Emma?" " Bloody Hitler!" " You're interrogating me..." " I'm offering to take paternal leave." "But you said we would visit Dad for Christmas." " Yeah, but now we aren't, Pixie." " But you promised..." "I've been thinking about that line, when you say:" ""I may be a whore, but I demand some respect."" "Perhaps you shouldn't sound quite so resigned." "More guts." "I don't mean hearty. "I may be a whore, but I demand some respect." Like that." "You have to go." " More guts?" " Yes, I think so." " Awful weather today." " Yeah..." "Sophia!" "I'm relieving Mum now." "I'm sorry I'm late." " Good." " Can we do a retake?" "Raise the bloody camera!" "And more rain!" ""I may be a whore, but I demand..."" "Baby clinic!" "Damn!" "Hello, hi......" "Sorry." " It's difficult to be on time with a baby." " Yes, I'm sorry." "How are you doing?" "Have you settled in to your own routines?" "Yes..." "Yes..." "No..." "No..." "Any particular problems?" "Does she have colic?" "No, there's nothing wrong with Emma." "Nothing wrong with Emma." " But I'm completely useless." " Surely not." "Yes, I am." "I should never have become a mother." "I'm useless!" "It's normal to feel inadequate in the beginning." "It's a major transition to become a parent." "Life revolves round the baby." "Yeah, but I can't do this." "I'm not up to it." "What do you think, Freddie?" "It's very important for the father to be supportive." "Freddie...?" "Yes?" "You have to give Sophia emotional support and commitment so that she feels that you're sharing the responsibility." "Good." "Perhaps we should weigh and measure her?" "I thought she seemed very bright and happy the last time you were here." " I don't believe it..." "I didn't bring her." " What the hell?" "!" "Mum has her." "No, Tina has her." "That's my sister." "Cut!" "Cut!" "Sophia, for God's sake!" " Hello?" " Hello." " I'm sorry I'm late." " It's okay." " Mum is home at last." " Sorry, I'm starving." " Are you working on Saturday?" " No." "We could go to the Skansen open air museum or to Junibacken with Emma." "Yeah, sounds good." " Which do you prefer?" " The one you suggested." "I'll just check tomorrow's scenes." " How was your day?" " All right." " We went to the park as usual." " That's nice." "Yeah, it was great." "Suddenly a parade of pink elephants ploughed through the park." "Oh, that's nice." "But the sad thing was that they trampled a few kids to death." "Oh, really..." "That's good." " Did you meet anyone else in the park?" " Yes, Ville." "Ville and Ville's mum." "Ville's mum is a real knockout." "When she finished breast-feeding Ville I asked if I could suck her tits." "And she said: "Of course you can suck my tits." "Come and suck."" "So I went over to her and sucked her tits, and I sucked and sucked..." " You're not listening!" " Of course I am." "Okay." "What did I say?" "You said that you and Emma went to the park and you had a nice time." "And Ville's mum was there and that was nice." "And we're going to Skansen on Saturday." "On Saturday?" "Damn it, I'm going Christmas shopping with Gina and Tina." "I'm sorry." "How about next Saturday?" " Look where you're going!" " Calm down, Gina." "Stop it!" "You're blocking the whole street." "You could hurt people." "If I see one more drunk Santa, I'll punch him." " Merry Christmas!" " A pint of lager." " I'll have that too." " Me too." "All we've got left are the presents for Mum and Dad." "We had planned to go to Mallorca, to the same place where Roffe was a courier." "It would've been wonderful." "Next year, hell yes!" " Mum always books everything so early." " She's always one step ahead." "And you find yourself with your pants up." "But if we tell her earlier..." " Then she can't say anything." " And we can do it our way." "But how early do we need to tell her?" "In the summer?" "In the spring!" "We won't give her a chance." "Mum and Dad alone on Christmas Eve." "What could be more depressing?" "Okay, okay." "What are we going to get them for Christmas?" "What would they like?" "A food mixer?" "They've already got that." " Couldn't we...?" " Could we really?" " We'll buy two tickets and off they go." " It's a fantastic present." "They can't refuse a Christmas present." "They wouldn't feel alone." "There are lots of old people in places like that." "They'd probably fall in love again." "They'd love it." "They'd sell the country house and move to Spain permanently." " The whole year round." " What a dream!" " Cheers!" " I'll get the tickets tomorrow." "What's this?" "I wonder what the girls are going to surprise us with?" "I think their Christmas present is too big to bring to the country house." " What do you think?" " What?" "I wonder what the girls are going to surprise us with." "What are you doing?" "Have you forgotten that the girls are taking us out to lunch?" "Put that down." "You have to be careful, Tage." "You'll turn into a fitness freak." " Where's Dad?" " Well, it's not my fault." " The surprise is for both of you." " I know and I told him that." "He lost his temper." "He was furious." "But he did send his love to all three of you." "Is this the surprise?" "What could it be?" " Move!" " Please, calm down." " The surprise can wait a few days." " Don't worry, we'll find him." " Where are you going?" " Which gym is it?" " It's called Fitness Workout something." " There he is." "Stop here." " That's him." " He's seen us." "I don't understand..." "What kind of a surprise is this?" "Go!" "Go, Gina!" "Go!" "Watch out!" " Did he see us?" " He's not blind or deaf." "He saw us." " Where are we going?" " I don't know!" "You told me to go." " What do we do now?" " Calm down, I have to think." " I have to cancel the tickets." " What about Mum?" " Calm down." " I'm calm." " Tina, you can't leave Mum." " She wanted something from the kiosk." " I'll get it." "What did she want?" " I don't know." "Come here." "Get back in the car." " I have to pick up the kids." " Get back in the car now!" "Stay here!" "Tina!" "Damn you!" "A lawyer who specialises in family law." "It's under control, Mum." "On what street?" "Thank you very much." "It's all done." "Roffe's lawyer knows someone who specialises in family law." " They're not getting a divorce." " I don't know." "Ask her." "Lawyers just make it worse." "Okay, you take care of it!" "I'm sure you know someone better." "Oh, I'm sorry." " I didn't have time to call." " Someone's asleep in the bed." "Here's the pizza!" "...right behind the car and Mum saw everything." "That's what I'm saying." "It was Dad." "So we can't visit you." "What's so funny?" "Damn!" "It's been engaged for almost an hour." " Let's go now." " Soon." "I have to make sure Mum isn't crying down the phone to Dad." "Don't touch that!" "It's Freddie speaking." "I'll check." "It's your dad." " If he doesn't stop, we'll call the police." " You tell him." " Can't I say Merry Christmas?" " Don't say anything, Mum." "We're in the middle of opening the presents." "She'll call you later." "Merry Christmas!" "Am I going to the summer house alone this summer?" " By then everything will be sorted out." " Will it?" " Yes, I promise." " How?" "Here you are." "Take this." "He'll regret this and come back with his tail between his legs." "On Midsummer Eve, Mum you'll be at the summer house with Dad, with flowers in your hair." "And you'll laugh about all this." "How did this happen?" " I can't even watch Donald Duck." " No, you can't." " A drop of rum does no harm." " No, but breast milk does." "I'm in desperate need of a family therapist." "Actually, it's my parents who need it." "But I'd like to meet him myself first." "I've booked an appointment with a family therapist." " I've booked a family therapist." " Is that necessary?" "We can't cope with this anymore." "We need professional help." "Good...that's good." "Very good." "Stop it!" "She's asleep." "It's taken me all evening." "Gina found a therapist, so she'll be able to move back home soon." " She smells." " We'll get her clean clothes tomorrow." " Has Mum had any dinner?" " What?" "Has she had any dinner?" " How long has she been asleep?" " What do you mean?" " When did she go to bed?" " She never got up today." " Do we have to lie down on a couch?" " No, I don't think so." "I'll just go to the loo." "Pleased to meet you." "My name's Fridell." " Gina went to the ladies." " That's fine." "It's nice to be here." "We have..." "We have tried to have children for seven years without success." "And our relationship has suffered as a result." "I see." "The problem is that when we try to talk about it we start to argue." " I told him we've tried to have children." " What...?" "I was just saying that we've tried for seven years to have children." "What do you mean?" "Have you told him that?" " Here?" "Now?" " That is a problem we have." "This isn't about us!" "It's about Mum and Dad!" "So, it's about my parents." "I'm sorry..." "They're separated." "They're sixty-five and I wonder if they're too old for therapy." "No, better late than never." "Hello?" " Hello." " Hi." "We're here to fetch some clothes for Mum." "It's a bit of a mess in here right now." "Have you started to pack?" "Yeah, this is some of my stuff." "Only the most essential things." "We have to discuss furniture and other things later." "She can take the country house." "She'll appreciate it more than I do." "Please, Dad..." "Sit down." "Can you please sit down?" "Sit down." "I think this is making things even worse." "Really?" "Do you think so?" "Let Mum get over the shock and then she'll be ready to speak to you again." "I don't know." "We'll see." " We've found a good therapist for you." " What's that?" "You go there and talk about your problems and they help you solve them." " Do you have to go together?" " Yes, of course." " I'm not sure Katja would appreciate it." " Never mind Katja!" "I promise you that Mum will forgive you." "I know she will." "You have to make an effort and really show her that you love her." "I mean, you do, don't you?" "It's not that simple." " I'm not leaving Katja." " Be realistic!" "Katja and you don't have a future together." "I'm moving in with her and then we'll see." "You must be thirty years older than her." "You can't have anything in common." "We do actually." "I'm going to be a father." " Again." " How disgusting!" "EMMA 1 YEAR" " Look!" "Isn't it nice?" " Lovely." "Do you have any money?" " Hello." "What do you mean?" " Freddie, is this dirty?" " Mum, please leave it." " I can't just wash half a load." " I'm going to the cinema." " But it's Emma's first birthday." " Yeah, we've celebrated all day." " We sang while we waited for the cake." " Give me five hundred." " For the cinema?" "We may go for a couple of beers afterwards." "Is that allowed?" " Let him go." "Here's some money." " Please, stop it." " Here." "Please, Mum..." " Why can't I...?" "When will you be home?" "Not too late?" "Listen..." "How are you two getting on?" "I think you should take more care of him." " Be careful!" " We've got five bedrooms." "We've got a day nursery across the road." " Take it easy, Jonte!" " The school is..." "It's perfect for children." " How many do you have?" " We don't have any." " Lucky you." " Heaven!" "Stop running around!" " I'm so sorry it's broken." " Never mind." "Nobody's hurt." " It's still embarrassing." " Here's the number to Roffe's mobile." " Thank you very much." " Thank you." "Bye." " What did they say?" " I think they liked it." "Good..." "Hello." "Sorry I'm late." "Some people came to see the house." " Are you moving?" " Yes, we're moving back into town." "That's the place to live." "Cinemas, theatres, restaurants..." " Is Emma walking yet?" " No, she's a bit slow." "I have a few things that I think will fit her." " She didn't get a birthday present." " Thanks." "It's too much." "They're lovely." " Take them or I'll only throw them away." " Throw them away?" "Yes." "We won't use them." "There's no need to be sad." "It didn't work and I suppose it wasn't meant to be." " Isn't this nice?" " Very nice." " Is Freddie pleased about Mum moving?" " I haven't told him yet." "I have a surprise for him." "What are you up to?" " You're incredible..." " You're incredible, Freddie." "We've found a flat for Mum." "She's moving in next week." " You're joking?" " No." "And Monday is my last day of shooting." "This summer, you and I and Emma can do whatever we want." "Darling..." "Thank you." "Thank you for everything you've done." "I never thought you'd make it to the end." "It's been just as hard on you." "Cheers." " Are we sleeping here too?" " Not just sleeping, I hope..." "Darling..." "Do you want to eat first or shall we do that later?" " If I can remember how to do this..." " I'm sure you do." "Yeah, I think so." " Can we afford this?" " Don't think about it." "It's a present." "I want to pay my half." "In kind..." " It's a present from Mum." " What?" "She wanted to give us this." "She knows we've had a hard time recently, partly because of her." "Hey..." "Freddie?" "Did she want us to fuck before or after dinner?" " Please don't spoil this..." " It's already spoiled!" " Is something wrong?" " Yes, but it's not your fault." "Freddie!" "This is ridiculous!" " Where are you going?" " To a hotel." " Another hotel." "I'm fed up with this." " Do you want to break up?" "Yes, if that's what it takes to live my own life!" "Bloody wimp!" "Do you hear me?" "Damn it, you..." "Go to hell in your fucking balloon!" "I hope you crash, you bastard!" "Looks like it'll be you and me." "To the bitter end." "Creep." "Parasite." "You're scum and I hate you." " I hate you for all you've done to me." " Bollshit!" "No, Mum, it's "bullshit"." "Not "boll"." " It says "bollshit" in the script." " Yes, but it's not pronounced like that." " Look, it's "bullshit"." " All right." "Let's continue." "I wish you were dead, you fucking bitch." " That's not what it says." " No, I'm improvising." " When is Freddie coming?" " He's not coming." " He had to stay in town and work." " Poor boy." "That's a shame." " The whole summer?" " Yeah." "Still, it's nice for you." "That you can stay in the country the whole summer." "Hello." "You've already started." "That's nice of you." " Did you have a good journey?" " Yes, it was all right." " I've opened the windows." " It looks so nice." " Where's Roffe?" " He had some work to do in town." "Suddenly everybody is working very hard." " I've made you some coffee." " Oh, that's nice." "I'll just give Sophia a hand." "There's something we need to discuss." "Tina and the boys are on their way." "She's bringing "Dim"." "He was released today." "Just relax now, Mum." "Here they are." "Or...?" "Yes, it's them." "Where did he steal that car?" " It's changed quite a lot." " Nice." "Take it easy." "Behave normally." " Daddy, we've built a den." " We'll look at it later." " We have to unload the car first." " Please, Daddy..." " We'll take care of the luggage." " Hello." " Welcome!" " Thanks." "Welcome out..." " Let me..." " No, I'm all right." "I'll show you..." "There's not much space in the house, so we thought the shed..." "It has no insulation yet, but..." " It's okay." "I'm not that keen on insulation." " Oh, sorry." " Right, so I'm sleeping here?" " Yeah." " Hello!" " Hi." "She's having a rest in there." "He's borrowed it from a friend." " What?" " The car." " I mean, it's not stolen..." " Nobody thought it was." "Eddie!" "We'll get you another one tomorrow." " Why don't you open the champagne?" " Well, perhaps we should..." " Go on." " Yeah..." "Go on." "Thank you, thanks..." "No, thank you." "I don't drink anymore." "I don't drink alcohol anymore." " I'll have some." " Yes, Tina can have some." "Excuse me..." "I'm not very used to making speeches, since, as you know, I've been in prison." "But I would like to say a few words..." "What I want to say is..." "When you've been in prison you really appreciate the small, the little..." "The small things in life become great." "And it's a cool feeling to know that I have a family like you." "After all, you are my family." "You're closest to us." "And I feel like a member of your family." "And it's a cool feeling to know that." "Yeah, right..." "Cheers, everybody!" " Cheers, Tina." " Yeah." "Cheers, kids." "I just wanted to say good night." "Good night." "What is it?" "Have you talked to your mum about the hot dog stand?" "Not yet." "I think we should wait at least a few days." "Yes, of course." "You know I appreciate it, don't you?" " I really do." "Okay?" " I know." " Well, good night." " Good night." "Go." "Go now." "Go!" "Go!" "I'm sorry, darling, I'm sorry..." "It's nice to know that someone likes me." "Sorry..." " Hello." " Hi." "We've swapped again." "Gina is back in the garden house." " Hold still!" "Well done!" " That was really good." "Now it's your turn, Pixie." "Come here." " That was a long shot, Eddie." " Stand out of the way." "Well, these things happen." "Sorry, it was..." " The boy..." "Sorry." " You're not in prison now." " Come on, Roffe." " That was good, wasn't it, Daddy?" " Good job you have two kids." "One spare." " It's midsummer." "Come and play." "Now, concentrate." "Hold it like this..." "I'm going in to Ystad." "I have some things to do." "Are you cross?" "No." "Don't worry." "Go." " Bye." " Bye." "Oh, good." "Dinner is ready." " Where's Gina?" " Gina!" "Gina, dinner is on the table." "I'll get her." "You start." "Gina, I have something to tell you." "I don't know what to say..." "You don't have to make up some fairy tale." "I already know." "As soon as we decide to give up on children you shag some 14-year-old!" "Right in front of my eyes." "I saw you!" "I have a daughter, Gina." "She's run away from her mother who I went out with 15 years ago in Mallorca." "I didn't know about her until a month ago." "Don't you get it?" "I know everything." "I saw her!" "She's my daughter..." "Bastard!" "You'll have to choose between her and me!" "Stay here, you bloody coward!" "Don't try and run away." "You're going to explain to me!" "Stop it!" "Stay here!" "Stop it." "This is between them." "You're such a coward!" "I'll kill you!" "Stay here!" " Gina, we have to talk about it." " I'll kill you!" "She's my daughter!" "Damn...!" "Get lost, you bloody idiot!" "Come back, you wimp!" "She's asleep." "She's had a peaceful night, so it's probably nothing serious." "But we'd like to do a few tests, so we'll keep her in for observation." "Now we're showing the first episode of our new thriller starring Sophia Olsson." "Mummy's on TV." " It starts now." " Yes." "Mummy!" "Oh, look..." "You can...?" "You can walk!" "This is Freddie, Emma and Sophia." "Leave a message and we'll ring you." "Well..." "Scientifically and theoretically speaking it should be impossible for you to be alive." "Your pelvis, back and neck are invaded by tumours." "The pain must be unbearable." "Yes, well, when you've given birth to three children..." "You have to tell them what's going on." "Don't worry, Mum." "You'll soon be back on your feet, stuffing those cakes into us." "Gina, come a little closer." "There's something I want to tell you." "I care about you three girls more than anything in the world." "That's why I decided earlier today to sign the house over to you." " You can't do that, Mum..." " It's already been done." "If that house can bring happiness to you and your families and children it would make me very happy." "Could she die?" "She doesn't have cancer, does she?" " Stop it." "She's always had backache." " She would've said something." "I think we should call Dad." "So at least he knows." "He already knows." " What?" "Have you talked to the bastard?" " It was him who called." "It was the day before yesterday." "You were visiting Mum." "He wanted to congratulate me after he saw me on TV." "Suddenly I heard a baby cry." "Dad got a bit nervous and then he told me they'd just had a little boy." " Congratulations!" " Thanks." "It feels a bit strange." "It's Katja's first baby too." "I've got you, but this was the first time I was present at the birth." "Then he started telling me how depressed he's been the last few years." "It was something he never talked about." "That's always been my problem, talking about it." "It only made Mum worried if I said that life was a misery." "I've always had trouble sleeping, but one night I couldn't bear it any longer." "I had to try and sort out all these thoughts buzzing around my head." "How could I feel so alone, with a wife, children and wonderful grandchildren?" "Had I wasted my life on a ridiculous career that wasn't even a career?" "Was there any point in going on living at all?" "Well, it was then as I sat there, that she turned up." "Is this seat free?" "I've always been afraid of danger." "But that night I felt like grabbing life by the throat." "I've made a decision." "I want you to buy me out of this house." " What do you mean?" " I don't want anything to do with this." "You'll have to buy my share and then the place is yours." "What do you mean "buy your share"?" "I don't have any money." "It's a fortune!" " Can I sell my share too?" " Yeah, one third belongs to you." "Sorry, I can't afford that." "In that case we'll sell it." "If Tina and I agree, there's no other way." " No way." "That's out of the question." " Is it the house or is it Mum?" "I've changed my mind." "We'll have to buy your share." " How much is her third worth?" " If you own a third." "Roffe has done most of the work here." "Your share is probably around 100,000." "I can get that tomorrow." "Mum stayed with us for six months." "Isn't that sacrifice worth anything?" "I've changed my mind." "I want us to sell." "Gina, you have to admit that you don't want this place." "Why would you?" " It's out of the question!" " Admit it, Gina..." "Gina, you have to admit that you don't want it." "Damn it!" " Can't you forget about Mum for once?" " I can't." "Don't you feel responsible?" "After everything she's done for us?" "Yes, I feel responsible." "I want to pay back my loan." "You just want to buy a hot dog stand for Eddie's and Pixie's idiot father." " Get rid of that parasite." " You're just nasty." " You don't like responsible fathers either." " What do you mean?" "She didn't mean it." "You're a spoilt cunt who feels sorry for yourself because you can't have children." " I'll kill you!" " Take it easy..." "Calm down, Tina...!" "Get out!" "Get out quickly!" "Get out, Sophia!" "Stop that, Tina." "Stop it!" "Why?" "Are you crazy?" "Get out!" "No, no..." "Out!" "The kids!" "Where the hell are the kids?" " Where are the kids?" " They're here." "It was an accident." "Nobody can say it was our fault." "Remember, it wasn't our fault." "There was nothing we could do." "Do you know why Mum liked your ex-boyfriend?" "Because he gave them such a good insurance deal." "Ice cream, ice cream!" " Should they really have more ice cream?" " So what?" "My dear, most beloved family." "Always leave a party while it's still in full swing." "Not because it's coming to an end." "Your party continues without parents for as long as you can keep going." "I've always been good at worrying." "Sorry about that." "I know you're grown up and doing well on your own." "Oh, there's one thing I'd like to tell you." "I didn't turn down the part in "Are There Angels?"" "They thought my breasts were too small." "So that's that." "I have one last request." "I don't want you to bury me under a tombstone in the cemetery." "You'll only feel bad when you don't have time to visit at Christmas and on birthdays." "You know I'll always be with you."
