"Filmkreatörerna presents in co-production with Film i Väst and Shoot  Post" "THE QUIET GAME" "Hello." "Excuse me, but I'm trying to find a house." "According to my map, it's supposed to be near the main road." " Who are you?" " My name is Birgitta Lovén." "Come on in." "If it's nearby, I'd like to see the house." "This is "the house"." "This is Dolores' house?" "Oh, then you must be Christian Olofsson." " I've called you several times." " The signal's no good out here." " I left messages." " I don't bother with voicemail." " I didn't realise it was this big." " It looks bigger than it actually is." "Nothing's antique, Dolores painted those pictures on the wallpaper." " Did she paint?" " Yes..." "I had to tear down the ceiling in here, it was rotten through and through." "The tiled stoves don't work, something to do with settling..." "This is the bathroom, but it has damp." "Do you plan to stay for the day or...?" " We planned to stay all weekend." " I see..." "She's in there..." " Hello..." "Hello." " I'm Birgitta." " Sassa Karlefelt." " How was your trip, good?" " Yes." "This way..." "Here you are." "You're only planning to stay for a few days, right?" "Well..." "This can't be it." " Hello, I'm trying to find..." " This is it." "I'll just go get my bag." " How long will you be here?" " I have no idea." "Call me if you need a ride." " Bye." " Bye." "Holy shit!" "Could you please take those off?" "The floors are pretty fragile." " No problem." "Hello." " I'm Christian Olofsson." " You live here, right?" " Yes, I live here." "It's this way..." " You can have Alice's room." " Who's Alice?" "A little girl who drowned in that stream over there." "She likes to sit over there." "Sometimes you can hear her humming her favourite hymn." "Antonia?" "Hello." " I'm Sassa Karlefelt." " Right, hello!" "Have you travelled from Stockholm?" "There's no bus stop close by, but this guy gave me a lift." "What a place!" "Yes..." "That Christian guy, he says this place is haunted." "We're meant to go to the dining room." "I've tried to find out all there is about Dolores Johnsson, but there's practically nothing." "She hasn't paid taxes, and she isn't registered at any address prior to this one." "Her mother left her this house in 1997, but her mother never lived here." "We don't know a thing, there's no paper trail." " Maybe she lived abroad for a while." " That could be it." "But there are usually records about that sort of thing as well." "Aren't you clever?" "Digging all that up..." "Right..." "At first, I was convinced that it was a mistake, some kind of error." "But it wasn't." "Oh, my goodness!" "I didn't understand a thing when that lawyer called." " What do you do for a living?" " I'm a waitress." " That's my room..." " Oh." "I work for the Church and Sassa's a therapist, so maybe it was our jobs..." "All my clients are children." "What do you do?" "What do you do for a living?" "I run a private practice for children with mental problems." "Go on, tell us about her." "You know, what she was like, what she did..." "We don't know a thing about her." " But you're related, aren't you?" " Not that we know of." "But that's why you..." "I mean, why..." "Didn't the will specify why you inherited this house?" "No." " How long have you lived here?" " Ten years... in October." " What did she die of?" " Cancer." " Do you have any pictures?" " Pictures?" "No." "No photographs?" "There aren't any." "I wasn't expecting you, so there isn't any food." " And I have to go to work." " What do you do for a living?" " I'm a sexton." " Oh, I'm a minister..." "The shops are in Tidaholm." "I'll be back around six." "It's her room!" " Look at that..." " What?" "Look!" "Isn't that adorable?" "What's this?" "I don't think we should be rummaging through her belongings." "A Fleetwood!" "A vintage Cadillac!" "Jesus!" "I'll take this!" "Damn!" "We shouldn't be touching anything before we know who owns it." "What's the problem?" "That guy isn't even here." "Damn!" " Get out of the car." " It's cool." "Get out of the car!" "It's huge!" "No..." "Look at this..." ""Grimmestorp"?" "Guess that's the name of the estate." "I didn't see it..." "Damn it!" "Are you all right?" "I'm fine..." "It's that guy who gave me a ride." "Hello..." "Fine..." "No, hardly any traffic at all." "A week." "The reception is really bad here, so..." "Catch you later." "A week?" "That's no good." "Now is not the time." "I'm no expert, but it shouldn't be impossible." " Have you tried to start the engine?" " We'll have to hot-wire it..." "Finns and their knives..." "No, I'm just a real man." "Dolores?" "So this is her place?" "I have a friend who knew her." "Oh, looks like she's taking off..." "The taxation value of the house is 260,000." "You mentioned that you grew up with just a mother..." " What about your dad?" " Mother never mentioned him..." "And I've never missed him." " What did she do?" " She was a cook at a school." "Who looked after you?" "Until I started school, she'd take me to work." "Sometimes she'd leave me at church, at their Kindergarten." "She probably wanted me to make friends." "My mother did that, too." " Do we really have the right...?" " I think we do." "We'll have to ask him for the key." "Oscar?" "Anybody home?" "Oscar?" "Is it all right to walk in like this?" "If it isn't Simon, my lad!" "Here it is..." "Here." "It must have been taken when she was confirmed." "She took off when she was 18." " When did you see her last?" " I tried to go and see her..." "But she wasn't interested..." "I went to Grimmestorp, but she told me she didn't want to have any visitors." "Look..." "It's her." " Where did you get this?" " From a man who grew up with her." " Where did Dolores grow up?" " In Habo." "Listen, I realise that it's hard to know what to do about all this, but would you be interested in selling your share to me?" " What about him?" " He didn't inherit the house." " But he lives here." " We'll have to take care of that." "What, are you going to throw him out?" "Hi..." "That's her." "I just took a walk in the woods." "It's like an enchanted forest..." "Cooking isn't exactly my strong suit, but here goes..." "I'll just..." "I'll be right back." "I've never seen such a messy home." "And then he opens this fantastic wine." "Christ, a glass of wine would be heavenly right now!" "So he didn't know where she'd been all those years?" "No, and when he talked about her..." " Where's the photo?" " It was right over there." " Did you take it?" " No, I gave it to you." "I think he was fond of her." "It was there a second ago..." "You aren't going to smoke in here, are you?" "I'd never do anything as stupid as that..." "Why did you decide to become a minister?" "Well, I became a Christian..." " Was your mother a religious person?" " No." "Pretty much the opposite." "I thought I would be good at it." "Are you?" "Well..." "Hi." "There's food for you, too, if you want some." "No, thank you." " We had a little accident." " I'll pay for it." " That's not necessary." " Is it something you bought?" "I bought all the dishes and glassware." "Everything in the cupboards is mine." "According to the lawyer, all the property in the house belongs to us." "The Fleetwood in the barn, who does that belong to?" " I don't know." " Then it's ours." "She wasn't really aware of what was mine and what was hers..." "According to the will, it all belongs to us." "No, and there are documents to prove it!" "My mother's things, how could they be yours?" " And the stuff I bought at auctions?" " You'll have to show us what's yours." "I'm the one who's done everything." "The repairs, the furnishing..." "Dolores wasn't interested!" "I fixed up the old floors, got rid of the smell of cats..." "When I moved in, only a few rooms downstairs were inhabitable!" "I don't understand why she..." "It must be a mistake." "How did you meet?" "We found each other." "How did you find each other?" "We had a good life." "You have no right to be here." "None at all." "Receipt Sofa and chair 7,000" "No, it's cool." "Come on over." "Okay, bye." " Isn't it nice?" " Yes." "Can I get you something?" " This is Birgitta." " Hi, I'm Simon." "Sassa, here's the angel who dropped me off out here." " Simon." " Sassa Karlefelt." " I was going to serve coffee..." " Not for me, thanks." "Excuse me, I'm just going to feed the fish." "Hello." "Are you from around here?" "No, I'm from Finland." " I know this is difficult for you..." " She was helpless without me." " Is there a key to that desk?" " Yes, it's behind the marten." "It's almost impossible to get new ideas off the ground, it's still a very rigid and patriarchal institution." "But what would you do here, in the middle of nowhere?" "The exact centre of Scandinavia is located right here." " Here in Härja." " What do you mean?" "A few kilometres from here is the spot at the dead centre of Scandinavia." "Right out in the middle of a field." " Did you use my toothbrush?" " The toothpaste kills all the germs." "I'd really appreciate if you never did that again." "Good night." "She is so stiff..." "I'm going to bed now, too." "It was nice to meet you." "Why don't we have a nice dinner?" "Smooth things over with Christian?" "I'll cook!" "We can ask him." "Good night." "No..." ""The centre of Scandinavia"..." "My room is haunted..." "Good morning..." " Coffee?" " No, thanks." "He's setting the table." "Antonia suggested that we have dinner together." "That's nice." "I'm going to her gravesite today, would you like to come along?" "How fast would I get my money if you buy my share?" "I could arrange for a deposit on Monday." "Excuse me..." "So she's offered you money, has she?" "I'm going to go take a shower." "Hi, kitty..." "Here, kitty-kitty..." "How much?" "The taxation value is 260,000 kronor." "How much would there be for me?" "If it's worth a million on the market, that would mean a bit over 300,000." "What about Sassa?" "I haven't asked her yet." "We'd better check with an expert what it's worth." "The Anders Johnsson Family Plot" "Antonia speaking..." "Hi!" "Cool..." "Sure, lots!" "Catch you later, bye." "That was Simon, he's bringing wine for dinner." "This is Nikolai, he's Russian." "I told him we could give him a ride." "All right..." "Sure, that's fine." "We're going to the car." "Why tell him?" "Can't we keep him out of this?" "Relax!" "What difference does it make?" "Don't you tell me to relax!" "You should bloody well relax!" "You can't talk to a guy without dragging him home." "Button up!" "You don't know a damn thing about me!" "My dear, I've met lots of girls like you." "I know exactly what makes girls like you tick!" "You don't respect anything." "Show no respect for people, property or situations." "Nothing!" "You don't give a damn if people are hurting!" "For God's sake..." "It's not my fault that you feel bad!" "You're a therapist, so fucking deal with it!" " A psychologist." " Shut up!" "If anyone is grabby, it's Birgitta!" "Oh?" "Hello!" "We went to pay our respects at the grave..." "This is Nikolai..." "He takes pictures of churches." "I'll go with you..." "Antonia wants to sell me her share." "And I've been thinking..." "You don't have to move." "I'll be needing help..." "I'll pay you, of course." "I've been dreaming of finding a place that could be an interfaith spiritual centre." "One where everyone was welcome." "And there's a lot of space here..." " It's not Stockholm, you know." " That's exactly the point." "People would love to come here for inspiration." "It's so incredibly beautiful!" "I really believe in this and..." "Yes?" "May I come in?" " Am I interrupting something?" " I was resting, that's all." "Antonia's gone shopping." "She invited that photographer as well, so it's a dinner party." " Are you all right?" " I'm fine." "Would you care for some healing?" "No thanks." "Come on, it will do you good." "Come on, Sassa, it will do you no harm." "I think it will do you good." "Now sit down..." "Relax." "Take a deep breath..." "And again." "A deep breath..." "I..." "I don't like this kind of thing." "I feel silly." "I don't want to!" " I don't want to." " Come on, Sassa..." "Don't feel silly." "I think it will do you good." "Just relax..." "You'll see..." "Go ahead..." "Nice and easy." "Take a deep breath." "Good, good." "Again." "Good..." "There..." " Let's take this off." " No." "It's in the way..." "It's all right, Sassa." "Relax, relax." "There, good..." "That's it..." "Good." "It's not easy to get along." "And this is a very unusual situation for all of us." "I can tell that you aren't feeling well, Sassa." "You have to be easier on yourself." "Are you overworked?" "Is that the case?" "I don't know anything about your life, but follow your heart." "Good." "See, that wasn't too bad, was it?" "No..." " Thank you." "There you go." "Is there a special man in your life, Sassa?" "No..., not at the moment." "No..." "Life isn't as long as we think it is." "I've offered Antonia 300,000 for her share." "Would you consider selling your share to me?" "I can't give you an answer to that..." "I'll go see if they need any help out there." "Fuck!" "Meat for 700 kronor, burnt to a crisp!" " Red or white wine?" " We'll figure something out." " What's for dinner?" " I don't know!" "We'll see." "Shit!" "Can I do anything?" "Have you been up in the attic?" "No..." "Damn it!" "I've scorched the vegetables, too." "I'll take care of it." "I'll figure something out." "Let's have a good time..." "Wow, you look great." " We'll eat once everyone's here." " Are we expecting more guests?" " Cheers!" "Nice wine, delicious!" " You can say that again." " Riesling..." "What did you have?" " I have my contacts." "Here he is!" "Oscar!" "This is Oscar." "Come on in." " This is Oscar." "He gave us that snapshot." "Bring loads of wine and let's eat before the pizza gets cold." " Come on..." " Here." " Pretty amazing, isn't it?" " Indeed." "Come on upstairs..." " Who are all these people, anyway?" " That's Queen Christina." " She was a lesbian, right?" " The one who abdicated." "She was so cool." "Turned her back on Sweden and rode all the way to Rome." "So damn cool!" "Birgitta..." "Cheers!" "What was she like?" "Quiet, a very quiet person." "But I had my suspicions..." "What?" "About her?" " Do you have any children?" " No..." "I don't like children." "Really?" "I like kids." "Didn't she ever say what she had done?" "All those years when she was away?" "No..." "But I got the feeling..." "that she had her regrets." "Come on." "I've got something to show you." "It's awesome!" "Birgitta..." "We weren't..." "We were just good friends." "Oscar got the car running!" "Want to come along for a ride?" "Where's Simon?" " Simon!" " Amazing!" "Listen!" "Just listen to it!" "Maybe a few drops more..." "Oscar got the Cadillac running, so we're going for a drive." "Are you coming along?" "Join us!" "Let's go!" "Thou shalt not Thou shalt not..." " Man, that was a blast!" " More wine..." "Those are almost obscene..." "Almost." " Come on..." " No, I've got to go home." " This was fun." "I had a great time." " You're not going home!" " We're going to dance!" " Those eyes of yours!" "Come on, come on!" "We're going to do that belly button dance." "Sassa?" "Hey!" "Well, aren't you the funny one?" "Funny?" "No, not funny..." "I just want to be..." "Antonia..." "I just want to be like you." "Be pretty..." "I just want to be..." "like you." "You see..." "I have... this keepsake." "Is there anything you keep thinking about?" "Memories from when you were a little girl?" "Is there anything special you remember?" "Do you remember being a little girl?" "Dolores played with you in the church." "Stop it!" "Shit!" "Stop it!" "You're drunk." "Take off my dress." " Go to bed." " Sassa, it's time for bed." "Hallelujah, here comes Birgitta, she'll lay her hands on you!" "Go to bed?" "Hell no, I've slept far too much in my life." "Do you know that Dolores means pain?" "Yes, I know..." " I'll be on my way." " Hush!" "Be quiet!" "I have something to say." "As soon as I entered this house." " Go, for God's sake, go..." " Don't let her spoil everything!" " Pull yourself together!" " Let him go." "What does he have to do with all this?" "Leave him alone!" "You're right, how does he figure into all this?" "How do any of us?" "What about him?" "Why did you drag him into all this?" " Please lower your voice!" " What went on between you?" "!" "Let's talk about this when we're all alone." "Alone?" "We're certainly all alone right now!" "Can anyone be more "all alone" than you?" "Have you ever loved someone?" "Have you?" "Have you ever been close to someone?" "And truly loved them?" "Really and truly loved someone?" "Birgitta!" "Bye-bye..." "Why are you still here?" "Come here..." "Lie down." "Lie down..." "No talking..." "It's a secret." "No one gets to say a word..." "Not a word." "We're playing the Quiet Game..." "Let's have a good time..." "Don't touch!" "No touching..." "Dolly wants to join us." "Hello, Dolly..." "Join us." "You know just what to do, you're a good girl." "Don't touch!" "Hang on..." "I'll do it!" "Lie still!" "Lie still and be quiet!" "I'll do it!" "Me!" "No, don't look!" "No, but..." " Don't move!" "Dolly knows how!" "Dolly knows exactly how it's done." " Damn it, I don't want to!" " I'm sorry..." "Let go of me!" " We can do it your way..." " I don't want..." "I do know how!" "Don't tell anyone, please!" "Mother doesn't know!" "Hi..." " Have you seen Sassa?" " No." "Careful, careful..." "Don't get it in your throat." "What's going on?" "!" "What has she done?" "What's going on?" "We've got to get her warm." "If we hadn't made it in time, she..." "Easy, easy..." "Come on, Sassa." "Sassa, we've got to get you warm." "Come on, honey..." "She's as cold as ice!" "She's so cold..." "Antonia?" "Antonia!" "Wait!" "Why the hell would you want to keep this disgusting place?" "Dedicated to abused children everywhere"
