"Now over to Kiruna." "The move of the city might happen earlier than expected." "The ore body is located right underneath the town." "This leads to ground deformations during the mining process." "Cracks are eating their way underneath the town." "No one knows how long the town can remain as it is." "The ground is more fragile than we expected." "The critical moment is drawing near..." "In the beginning, everything was wide and open." "Untouched." "Nothing but snow." "Humans were yet to be born." "There was only silence." "Not even a whisper could be heard." "Only a crack, deep underneath the snow." "Everything was just about to awake." "BROKEN HILL BLUES" "Stop it!" " Hi." " Hiya." " You like the Chevy?" " Are you kidding me?" "Fix her up, and she's yours when you finish school." "Are you serious?" "Thanks." "...and tomorrow's temperatures will range from 47 "C down to -23 "C." "Sunrise is at 11:34 a.m., and sunset is at 3:27 p.m." "This has been the news." "But it's better in the car, right?" "Markus!" "Stop that." "You're not supposed to be here." "You need maths and English, too." "You can't just work on cars all day." "Do you hear me?" "It's over, Markus." "Leave now." "Off you go!" "I can't keep you at our school, Markus." "We can't help you if you don't cooperate." "You want to be your own man, you say." "But you'll always be part of a group, whatever you do in your life, Markus." "The mine is a good employer." "I can help you with job training." "I'm getting my own repair shop." "That's the only way to be free." "Well, dreams are free..." "Markus!" "Markus!" "You have to attend all courses." "Your principals been calling all day!" "Have you even been to school?" " Here you go." " Huh?" "Get a grip, Markus!" "This is serious." "You don't have time for the Chevy." "If they kick you out, they'll help you write to the mine." "Get job training..." "Is that why we moved back?" "To make me go down there?" "Everybody works in the mine, Markus." "I'm going to live my life." "Get it?" "He is King of the Arctic." "The polar bear." "The largest land-based predator on earth." "The sea ice is his kingdom, as long as it remains." "If the Arctic ice melts, the polar bear will lose his territory." "On Spitsbergen..." "Daniel?" "H's Dad." "Are you there?" "When I reached this mountain, I seemed entering on a new world;'" "'And when I had ascended it, I scarcely knew if I was in Paradise,' 'the soil, situation, and every one of the plants, being equally strange to me.'" "'I was now upon the mountains.'" "'Snowy mountains encompassed me on every side.' 'l walked in snow, as if it had been the severest winter.'" "'All the rare plants I had met with, and which had afforded me pleasure,' 'were here as in miniature, and in such profusion that I was astonished,' 'thinking I had found more than I should know what to do with.'" "Carl von Linné, written back in 1732." "What do you think people were thinking about 100 years ago?" "What were their hopes and dreams for the future?" "To make money, perhaps." " To find work, I guess." " Good..." "A better life?" "A better society?" "I don't know..." " Thanks for today." " Bye." " Bye." " Bye." "Did you read anything?" "I've been watching documentaries." "About polar bears." "They swim with their cubs on their backs, because the ice ﬂoes are so far apart." "But there are no polar bears here." "Only the strongest will survive." "As for us, nobody knows." "We'll just have to move further up on the mountains." "You can always swim..." "A young man, maybe just a boy." "He might have been the first one to look out over our landscape." "He was sucked into the bog over a thousand years ago." "We do know that he had some blue- berries and some meat on his last day." "He had been walking far and he was tired." "Maybe he fell over." "Scientists can see all that." "Isn't that just fantastic?" "Come on." "Let's continue." "I used to stop here often." "Underneath the snow lies another landscape for me." "Our mountains..." "The water in the brooks..." "Just like pearls." "Now, that's beautiful." "Do you remember that?" "You were a little girl back then." " Thank you!" " You're welcome, you're welcome." "See if they fit you." "Seventeen years old!" "My baby girl." "Bravo, Zerin." "You did great." "Sorry, there's no job for you here." "That's just the way it is." "Sorry, I have nothing." " How do I look?" " You look great." "It's amazing." "It's brilliant, Helena." "Cheers." " Me, too." " I want to get my hair fixed, too." "It's great." " We need to get moving." "Alright." "Big thanks, Helena." "Where the hell are the maggots?" "Did you forget them?" "What's wrong with you?" "You're turning into a fucking slave!" "Don't you get it?" "If you can slave for your boss, you can fucking well slave for me!" "Go and get them!" "Just go!" "You fucking lap dog!" "Woof, woof!" "That doesn't look too healthy." "We'll be eating proper food from now on, you and me." "Tomorrow, I'll put dinner on this table." "Pea soup, and pancakes for dessert." "But we'll skip the traditional liqueur." "My drinking days are over." "When you were a boy, you didn't like my cooking." "You wanted Mum to do the cooking." "Remember that sound you made?" "'Blech.'" "Guess what your old man brought with him." "Huh?" "Hold on." "I've picked up boxing again." "Remember when you were a kid?" "How you used to spar with your old man." "Come on..." "You gave me a right hook that sent me dancing around the ring." "You remember that, don't you?" "A right hook from hell!" "Here you go." "Good." "Come on!" "Great job." "So, you do remember'?" "Good!" "Give your old man a punch!" " I'm glad you came." " You knew I would." "So you're Rolf's son, too?" "Yes." "Many of us remember him well." "That was one hell of an accident." "Make sure to get down to city hall and vote." "They have to listen to us." "The more iron we mine, the more the town is destroyed." "We've got a new chance to build a brand new town." "Do you realise how big this is?" "Do you?" "So, what do we want?" "What kind of society do we want to create, now that we've got the chance?" " That's a big question..." " You're bloody right it is!" "Get it higher up." "There." "Hold it in place." "Hold it still." "Hammer..." "You nail it in place, hard." "Now, screw it in place." "That should do it." "It looks good." "See you when it's time for coffee." "What's my room going to look like afterwards?" " After what?" "When no one lives there anymore." "Well, you might get some trees growing in there." "And some grass..." "It might even snow in there." "Grass?" "Water ran out from the ice, and the fish started to grow long legs." "They came out of the water to walk on land, where there were already large forests." "All the animals and humans looked for a place to dwell." "The E10 route will run through this area." "The E10 will become a city road in the future." "Seventy, eighty or a hundred years from now, if the mining continues, this area will also be affected by the mining operation." "H's difficult to look ahead, but Kiruna might have to be prepared to be relocated once more." "House-owner Rolf Olsson lives in this area and is uncertain about the future." "We don't know what will happen." "We've lived in this house for 26 years, but..." "They've built new houses, so..." "But we don't know where that will be, or when." "This is Kiruna of today." "Massive cracks, a pressing relocation..." "Listen, Kent will be staying here for a few days." "You'll stay for dinner, right?" "And the girls have finished!" "The winner is lane 4." "Her time is 4:37.97." "Who the hell is he?" " Come on, punch him!" " Get him!" " He's all yours!" " Punch him already!" "What the fuck are you waiting for'?" "Come on!" "There you go." "Come on, girls." "There." "There you go." "Let's go." "Are we up now'?" "The blasting schedule for tonight is 01:24, 04:31 and 07:15 a.m." "Radio Kiruna helps you through the night." "I'm going to show you something." "What do you think?" "I'll get a loan after summer, and we can set up the shop here." "Are you in?" "Sorry." "Is it okay if I wait in Daniel's room?"
