1. In 6th grade, Nora was told to write
an essay as if she was an object.Copy !req
2. She knew at once she'd be their house.Copy !req
3. She described how its belly shook
as she and her sister ran downstairsCopy !req
4. and out the back door.Copy !req
5. That it saw them take the shortcut
through the fence and onto the road,Copy !req
6. where the house no longer could see them.Copy !req
7. She wondered if the house liked
to be empty and light,Copy !req
8. or full and heavy.Copy !req
9. If the floors liked being trod on.Copy !req
10. If the walls were ticklish.Copy !req
11. If it ever felt pain.Copy !req
12. And she thought that yes,
it probably liked to be full.Copy !req
13. Before them, other people and petsCopy !req
14. had lived their moments in time there.Copy !req
15. Her great-great-grandfather died in
the room where her grandmother was born,Copy !req
16. which now was her parents' bedroom.Copy !req
17. Their father said the house had a flaw,
discovered right after it was finishedCopy !req
18. a century ago.Copy !req
19. She wrote that it was as if the house
was sinking, collapsing,Copy !req
20. only in very slow motion,
and that her family's time thereCopy !req
21. was just a split second in mid-air.Copy !req
22. When she read it later, she saw that
she hadn't used the word "quarrel",Copy !req
23. but wrote of the "noise" her parents made.Copy !req
24. But what the house disliked
more than noise, was silence.Copy !req
25. When her father left for good,
the house grew lighter.Copy !req
26. The noise her parents made, went away.Copy !req
27. But the house missed
the other sounds he made.Copy !req
28. Her teacher gave her an A,
and her father loved it.Copy !req
29. Nora reread it when looking for
a monologue for her academy audition,Copy !req
30. but found it disappointingly detached.Copy !req
31. She chose Nina's monologue
from "The Seagull" instead.Copy !req
32. "I am a seagull. No. No.
I am an actress."Copy !req
33. "Yes, that is what I am."Copy !req
34. Nora?Copy !req
35. - Nora? Open the door.
- I can't do it.Copy !req
36. - Nora, open the door!
- Just a moment.Copy !req
37. Open the door, please.Copy !req
38. Are you okay?Copy !req
39. I'm just going over my lines.Copy !req
40. But you know your lines.Copy !req
41. - We've been here before.
- No, it's not like that.Copy !req
42. I can't do it.
I can't go on stage.Copy !req
43. Okay. Let's take a deep breath.Copy !req
44. Just look at me. Look at me. Breathe.Copy !req
45. Okay. Just breathe.Copy !req
46. - I can't breathe in this thing.
- We'll fix it downstairs.Copy !req
47. Just come with me.Copy !req
48. - I need water.
- There's water downstairs.Copy !req
49. - It won't work. We're five minutes late.
- It'll be fine.Copy !req
50. Just get her on, okay?Copy !req
51. Oh, it's out of place.Copy !req
52. No, it's okay.Copy !req
53. Hey... Could you help me out?Copy !req
54. - Right backstage.
- Now?Copy !req
55. Just... a bit stressed.Copy !req
56. I think I need some...Copy !req
57. Sort of need... something.Copy !req
58. - No, there's no time. Stop it.
- We have time.Copy !req
59. - You're just...
- Okay, then hit me.Copy !req
60. - Just slap me.
- No!Copy !req
61. Otherwise I can't go on stage.
I can't go on stage.Copy !req
62. - Are you okay? Dammit.
- Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
63. Hey!Copy !req
64. - No!
- I can't breathe!Copy !req
65. Don't!Copy !req
66. Help! Nora, don't.Copy !req
67. - Don't... Don't tear it!
- Wait, Nora!Copy !req
68. Yngvar? Twenty seconds.Copy !req
69. Ready?Copy !req
70. Are we ready?Copy !req
71. Yes.Copy !req
72. Hear!Copy !req
73. You said you were going to save me.Copy !req
74. Yet you chased me into the flames!Copy !req
75. I let your children into my home.Copy !req
76. Still you bore witness against me!Copy !req
77. I told you we should get catering.
This is just stressful.Copy !req
78. Hey... Hey...Copy !req
79. I'm okay. I'm okay.Copy !req
80. - Mom? Can I have more cake?
- Sure.Copy !req
81. I've asked him to stop.
He's had four pieces already.Copy !req
82. - Please, mom?
- No, eat something else first.Copy !req
83. What a lovely speech you held.Copy !req
84. It was from both of us.Copy !req
85. Your mom was so proud of you,
she talked about it all the time.Copy !req
86. - Yeah.
- Well, Sissel... Jesus.Copy !req
87. She took me to
the National Theatre many times.Copy !req
88. You know, that was grandma's
office before she got sick.Copy !req
89. She sat there talking with people,
trying to help them.Copy !req
90. Or they spoke to her about their secrets.Copy !req
91. When I was little, I used to listen to
them talk through this stove.Copy !req
92. - Were you allowed to?
- No. They never knew.Copy !req
93. It's been ages, but...Copy !req
94. I can see it's hard to know what to do,
offer your condolences or congratulate.Copy !req
95. Well, we spoke from time to time.Copy !req
96. - What is it?
- Nothing.Copy !req
97. Dad's here.Copy !req
98. - Did you know?
- No.Copy !req
99. But I did inform him.Copy !req
100. Hi, dad!Copy !req
101. There you are! Excuse me.Copy !req
102. Hi.Copy !req
103. Hi. My girls.Copy !req
104. - Have you met Erik yet?
- No, is he here?Copy !req
105. - I didn't see you in church.
- I wasn't up for it. And why in church?Copy !req
106. - Did she find religion?
- We thought it would be nice.Copy !req
107. This is... This is so sad.Copy !req
108. She was a great mother for you, right?
She was so beautiful and...Copy !req
109. - Beautiful?
- Like you two.Copy !req
110. Sharp as hell.Copy !req
111. She was always right.Copy !req
112. - Hi! Look, grandpa's here.
- Well, hello!Copy !req
113. Huh? Good morning.Copy !req
114. - Yeah. Hi, hi.
- Hi. Been a while.Copy !req
115. - That's Even.
- Of course I know Evan.Copy !req
116. We go way back.Copy !req
117. My, how you've grown!Copy !req
118. - Are you the tallest boy in class?
- I don't know. Don't think so.Copy !req
119. Are you the class monster?Copy !req
120. No?Copy !req
121. Hi.Copy !req
122. Here.Copy !req
123. I was just thinking about you.Copy !req
124. - What's this?
- They're mine.Copy !req
125. Are you okay?Copy !req
126. Well, why do you ask?Copy !req
127. - We have to talk while I'm in town.
- Okay?Copy !req
128. There's something I need to tell you.Copy !req
129. - Can't you just tell me now?
- No, not here.Copy !req
130. I think it's time you and I sat down
and had a proper talk.Copy !req
131. Fredrik can take them in his Toyota.Copy !req
132. - Sorry.
- Oops.Copy !req
133. I'm good, thanks.Copy !req
134. I just hope he doesn't feel like he...Copy !req
135. Suddenly has to be a dad and...Copy !req
136. - Comfort me or something.
- No.Copy !req
137. But at least he's trying.Copy !req
138. It might not be easy for him either.Copy !req
139. Ask him what he plans to do
with the house.Copy !req
140. - What do you mean?
- He owns it.Copy !req
141. - Oh?
- Mom got it after the divorce.Copy !req
142. But they never filed the paperwork.Copy !req
143. Okay?Copy !req
144. It's unfortunate.
We were hoping for some money.Copy !req
145. Why don't you ask him?Copy !req
146. You never dare confront him
about anything.Copy !req
147. - I don't? I see.
- You don't.Copy !req
148. - Sure I do.
- No.Copy !req
149. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
150. You look great.
What would you like?Copy !req
151. Uh, just a coffee.Copy !req
152. - Nothing else?
- No.Copy !req
153. - A coffee for the lovely young lady.
- Yes please.Copy !req
154. - And you? Did you enjoy your meal?
- I enjoy everything you serve.Copy !req
155. She thinks we're a couple.Copy !req
156. I've thought about you a lot.
I've been worried.Copy !req
157. Okay. How have you been?Copy !req
158. Well, fine. Got my hands full.Copy !req
159. You may have heard about the retrospective
of my films in France.Copy !req
160. - No, where should I have heard?
- The film I'm making is more important.Copy !req
161. You're hanging in there.Copy !req
162. It might be my best script yet.
Michael agrees.Copy !req
163. - So Michael is still producing?
- He says things are going my way.Copy !req
164. My documentary is being screened
in many countries. I'm on a roll.Copy !req
165. You had something you wanted
to discuss with me?Copy !req
166. Yes.Copy !req
167. The film is about a...Copy !req
168. A young woman, a mother who...Copy !req
169. Well, I want you in the lead role.Copy !req
170. I wrote it for you.Copy !req
171. You're the only one who can play it.Copy !req
172. Thank you.Copy !req
173. But you've never seen me act.Copy !req
174. Sure. Several times.
I saw you in "Medea".Copy !req
175. - You left during the intermission.
- I don't like theatre.Copy !req
176. The scenography was horrible.
But you were great.Copy !req
177. I can tell if an actor is any good
in two minutes.Copy !req
178. This part would be good for you
in many ways.Copy !req
179. You deserve something more personal
than centuries-old playsCopy !req
180. for a bunch of senior citizens.Copy !req
181. This is a real role in a film.Copy !req
182. Yes, you might get some financing too.
My series has done very well.Copy !req
183. Yeah, it helps somewhat.Copy !req
184. I've talked to Michael.
He's sure he can get financing.Copy !req
185. We'll film it in our house.Copy !req
186. - Our house?
- Yes.Copy !req
187. It's perfect.Copy !req
188. I'm not having any part in this.Copy !req
189. - You could take time off from the series.
- It was finished ages ago.Copy !req
190. You're way better than that.Copy !req
191. - You've seen it?
- Of course.Copy !req
192. Well, what do you think?Copy !req
193. What I think isn't important.Copy !req
194. I'd love to hear what you think.Copy !req
195. But that stuff isn't for me.
No visuals.Copy !req
196. We never really see your face.
We don't see your eyes.Copy !req
197. But what do I know?
People like it.Copy !req
198. It's not about what people think.
What do you think?Copy !req
199. You're not the problem with it.Copy !req
200. This partCopy !req
201. could be your big break.Copy !req
202. We're not going to work together, dad.Copy !req
203. - We can't even communicate.
- Just read it, and I'll call you.Copy !req
204. - Stop calling me. You're always drunk.
- But I worry about you.Copy !req
205. You don't have any right
to worry about me.Copy !req
206. - Just read the damn thing!
- Why?Copy !req
207. It'll never come to anything.Copy !req
208. Sit still!Copy !req
209. You mustn't move.Copy !req
210. I'm here with film director Gustav Borg.
He's joining Rachel Kemp's table.Copy !req
211. - Weren't you about to leave?
- You want me to leave? Okay.Copy !req
212. No, but this is getting very...Copy !req
213. Close and cuddly.Copy !req
214. - You don't like cuddly?
- Sure I like cuddly. I do.Copy !req
215. Why are you so afraid of intimacy?Copy !req
216. - I can tell that it isn't easy for you.
- No, it's not.Copy !req
217. It's perfect that you're married
so I don't have to confrontCopy !req
218. how fucked-up I really am.Copy !req
219. Jeez, what a brutal thing to say
about yourself. How fucked-up are you?Copy !req
220. In percent?Copy !req
221. Eighty.Copy !req
222. - Eighty.
- So you're twenty percent...Copy !req
223. That's the percentage you see now.Copy !req
224. Did you talk to the theatre manager?Copy !req
225. He thinks I shouldCopy !req
226. see a therapist.Copy !req
227. Yes.Copy !req
228. - Well, why not?
- Don't say yes!Copy !req
229. No, but it's some sort of phobia.
Therapy might help.Copy !req
230. But it's not that bad, it was just that...Copy !req
231. - I had to hit you.
- Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
232. Sorry about that.
It was pretty intense, but...Copy !req
233. - You could change your mind and report me.
- I won't.Copy !req
234. I swear.
I already know too much about myself.Copy !req
235. - I don't need therapy.
- I'd say the exact opposite.Copy !req
236. - Why not?
- Mom was a...Copy !req
237. - I mean, she was a therapist.
- You're not going to see your mom.Copy !req
238. - I just want one last kiss.
- Sure, but...Copy !req
239. - No, not like that.
- But we're done!Copy !req
240. - See you tomorrow.
- See you.Copy !req
241. I mean, when you go on stage,
it's so counterintuitive.Copy !req
242. Your body, your whole body screams
as you step out to face the audience.Copy !req
243. - There's nowhere to hide.
- But it's not all anxiety?Copy !req
244. No, I love it! I love it!Copy !req
245. And that...Copy !req
246. This frustration, anger,
the sense of injustice,Copy !req
247. the burden of responsibility.Copy !req
248. When she says he avoids conflicts,
she reveals what she hates about herself.Copy !req
249. What I like the most about it,
is probably...Copy !req
250. Building a character.
Diving into that perspective, or intoCopy !req
251. their feelings by assuming
the role of someone else.Copy !req
252. It maybe provides me the security
to connect to my own feelings.Copy !req
253. So you don't want to be yourself?Copy !req
254. That's what it sounds like.
What would mom say about that?Copy !req
255. No, you're cheating. Step back. No.Copy !req
256. No, you can go closer.Copy !req
257. No, no. Here, here!Copy !req
258. Do you have a boyfriend?Copy !req
259. No, not really.Copy !req
260. Don't you want one?Copy !req
261. Sure.Copy !req
262. But it's not always that easy.Copy !req
263. - But I love you.
- Yes.Copy !req
264. I love you too.Copy !req
265. I wanna marry you when I grow up.Copy !req
266. It's nice of you to say so.Copy !req
267. - But it's impossible.
- I know.Copy !req
268. - Did you fall asleep?
- No.Copy !req
269. He's just so cute!Copy !req
270. I think... He proposed to me down there.Copy !req
271. - Congrats.
- That doesn't happen every day.Copy !req
272. When he returned from
the playground today, he came to me,Copy !req
273. looked straight at me and said:
"I see you."Copy !req
274. Where's that from?Copy !req
275. - Do you say that?
- Maybe he's picked it up at school.Copy !req
276. Saying "I see you" at school?Copy !req
277. Are you okay?Copy !req
278. - Sorry.
- Hey?Copy !req
279. - What is it?
- I'm okay.Copy !req
280. I think I should head home.Copy !req
281. No, wait.Copy !req
282. - I'm okay.
- Are you sure?Copy !req
283. - Really? Nothing's happened?
- No. It's okay. Sorry.Copy !req
284. Okay.Copy !req
285. - Is she alright?
- Yeah.Copy !req
286. - You don't think... She's not there again?
- I don't think so.Copy !req
287. I think she's just lonely.Copy !req
288. - Does that make you sad?
- A bit.Copy !req
289. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
290. It's weird.Copy !req
291. When mom fell ill,
I considered whether toCopy !req
292. take over the house,
live here with Even and Erik.Copy !req
293. - Would you want to live here?
- No.Copy !req
294. We can't afford to buy out anyone.Copy !req
295. I've been through all that,
it's just old documents.Copy !req
296. Well, thanks for everything you've done.Copy !req
297. It's amazing.Copy !req
298. - Keep what you want and dump the rest.
- But there are many nice things here.Copy !req
299. Things with sentimental value.
Have a look.Copy !req
300. I'd like that vase, for example.Copy !req
301. - Yeah, it's kinda nice.
- Oh?Copy !req
302. - Because I want it?
- No. You can have it.Copy !req
303. No, the point is to go through it together
and sort it out.Copy !req
304. Yeah.
Well, then I'll take it.Copy !req
305. My god.Copy !req
306. Remember to turn off the stoveCopy !req
307. - How long is he going to stay here?
- He didn't say.Copy !req
308. But he's here to arrange the sale, right?Copy !req
309. I don't really know if...Copy !req
310. He'll be here around 2 p.m.
You can ask him.Copy !req
311. - I don't think so.
- You can't pretend he's not here.Copy !req
312. I can try.Copy !req
313. He isn't selling the house,
like I thought, but...Copy !req
314. Well, he has this project.Copy !req
315. Come again?Copy !req
316. It's a good thing.
He's making a new movie.Copy !req
317. What project?Copy !req
318. - The one you discussed.
- The film he wrote for me?Copy !req
319. Yeah, the part you didn't want.Copy !req
320. - Did he get financing?
- He must have.Copy !req
321. He didn't say much.
But he asked if you'd be here.Copy !req
322. Okay.Copy !req
323. - Is that him?
- Yeah.Copy !req
324. Shit, that's Rachel Kemp.Copy !req
325. Oh, shit.Copy !req
326. - Shit!
- Hey? Nora?Copy !req
327. Hey, now...Copy !req
328. Hi. Is Nora here?Copy !req
329. No, she had to leave.Copy !req
330. I can't even speak properly.Copy !req
331. This'll be great.
She's motivated.Copy !req
332. I told her that that footstoolCopy !req
333. was the one my mom used to hang herself.Copy !req
334. The one from IKEA?Copy !req
335. "Is this me?"Copy !req
336. "Is this me?" What I think,
the way I feel, how I sleep or not...Copy !req
337. I just can't understand how this...Copy !req
338. - Can be me.
- We've been here before.Copy !req
339. - So you don't recognise yourself?
- No.Copy !req
340. Many years earlier, the therapist's office
was called "The Library".Copy !req
341. It was often empty.
Karin, the oldest daughter,Copy !req
342. hung out with friends
and listened to music there.Copy !req
343. When the war broke out,
Karin joined the resistance.Copy !req
344. One autumn evening in 1943,
the State Police came to fetch her.Copy !req
345. She was imprisoned for two years.
She never talked about the prison camp.Copy !req
346. There. Listen to this.Copy !req
347. After the war, Karin got married
and took over the family house.Copy !req
348. She gave birth to Gustav in 1951.Copy !req
349. Many years later, when he had become
a filmmaker, Gustav liked to say:Copy !req
350. "Nothing is more beautiful than shadows."Copy !req
351. He would imagine his childhood home.Copy !req
352. Karin's little sister, Edith, took over
the house with her friend Lillian.Copy !req
353. Edith was happily childless,
but Gustav often visited them in summer.Copy !req
354. If anyone complained, Edith turned up
the volume. She was sureCopy !req
355. one of the neighbours
had ratted on her sister during the war.Copy !req
356. When Edith died,
Gustav was her sole heir.Copy !req
357. In 1986, he moved back to the house
with all its memories.Copy !req
358. There are two versions of
how Gustav met his wife, Sissel.Copy !req
359. She said he came to her as
a patient with insomnia.Copy !req
360. It was obvious to her that moving back
proved more complicatedCopy !req
361. than he liked to admit.Copy !req
362. Gustav's take was grander.Copy !req
363. She was absolutely stunning.Copy !req
364. I found out she was a therapist,
so I got some mental problems.Copy !req
365. Six months later, Sissel was pregnant.Copy !req
366. They were married three weeks before
Nora was born in December 1987.Copy !req
367. With her little sister Agnes,
they became a family of four.Copy !req
368. - So it sucks? Being with us sucks?
- That's not what I'm saying!Copy !req
369. Why do you have to dredge up
that old crap again?Copy !req
370. After the divorce,
Gustav returned to Sweden.Copy !req
371. The house grew lighter and lighter.Copy !req
372. Have you talked to Peter?Copy !req
373. Peter is an old man.Copy !req
374. - He hasn't shot a film in ten years.
- Neither have I.Copy !req
375. - No, but he's retired.
- He'll do it for me. I'll talk to him.Copy !req
376. - I won't let anyone else film it.
- Okay, but...Copy !req
377. - You have to go and speak to him yourself.
- Sure thing.Copy !req
378. "Sure thing"? Just do it.Copy !req
379. - He's no older than you are.
- Blah, blah, blah.Copy !req
380. This is a Netflix production.
Will it be shown in cinemas?Copy !req
381. Sure, where else?Copy !req
382. It's still being negotiated,
but that's definitely the plan.Copy !req
383. What sort of a stupid question is that?Copy !req
384. What a goddamn idiot.Copy !req
385. Shouldn't the questions
be clarified in advance?Copy !req
386. - That's not possible.
- The TikTok troll.Copy !req
387. Surely not ASMR again?
It makes you fall asleep.Copy !req
388. - He taught it to me.
- I also did it with him.Copy !req
389. I won't hold a speech, but I feelCopy !req
390. this gratitude welling up in me.Copy !req
391. I just want to say how awesome it is
to work with every one of you.Copy !req
392. - Of course there's still some way to go...
- We talked about it earlier.Copy !req
393. We've also talked a great deal.Copy !req
394. We'll sort it out before the premiere.Copy !req
395. And Jakob, I know things
are difficult on the home front.Copy !req
396. But... Uh, but...Copy !req
397. Thank you for doing the work you do,
and if there's anything, tell me.Copy !req
398. - Always.
- Thank you. I will.Copy !req
399. But... Okay.Copy !req
400. But I think this is gonna be awesome.Copy !req
401. - I think so too.
- Cheers!Copy !req
402. - Cheers!
- Cheers!Copy !req
403. But you haven't told me
you're getting a divorce.Copy !req
404. No, it's been so busy with
the rehearsals, and... Well.Copy !req
405. Yeah.Copy !req
406. - It's been hard to find the right moment.
- Of course.Copy !req
407. It's not like...Copy !req
408. - Not because of us?
- No, that's not it.Copy !req
409. I'm here for you, if...Copy !req
410. If you need to talk.Copy !req
411. - Is nobody else taking a dip?
- Get in!Copy !req
412. - One, two...
- Okay.Copy !req
413. - Three!
- Whoo!Copy !req
414. We don't need to hide now.Copy !req
415. Listen, I... I don't know.Copy !req
416. - Hello!
- Hi!Copy !req
417. - Is dad here?
- Not yet.Copy !req
418. - There you are! Congratulations!
- Thanks.Copy !req
419. Oh, wow! You look nice with a bowtie!Copy !req
420. Hello! Are we having pizza?Copy !req
421. Hello. I'll just do like this.Copy !req
422. That record's still mine.Copy !req
423. Nah.Copy !req
424. Start there.Copy !req
425. Hi! Welcome.Copy !req
426. - Good to see you.
- Likewise.Copy !req
427. Well, congratulations. Happy birthday!Copy !req
428. The nine year old man. Big boy now.Copy !req
429. - Guess you haven't met since our wedding.
- I can never forget a woman like Therese.Copy !req
430. - Hi. Wow! How nice. Where did you get it?
- Just get some glasses.Copy !req
431. Hi, dad.Copy !req
432. Hi.Copy !req
433. Yeah, you hit it.Copy !req
434. How's the film coming along?Copy !req
435. - Good.
- I heard of it. How exciting!Copy !req
436. - What's it like to work with Rachel Kemp?
- Hey...Copy !req
437. I'm just asking what it's like
to work with her.Copy !req
438. Well, she's not there yet. But almost.Copy !req
439. I heard you fooled her with
a footstool from IKEA.Copy !req
440. Is he gonna spend all day
watching that thing?Copy !req
441. He's got 20 minutes screen time left.Copy !req
442. Who? Even?Copy !req
443. I just wanna know how much screen time
you've left. Aren't you over now?Copy !req
444. - How much screen time I've left?
- Does he have any?Copy !req
445. - Put it away.
- The pizza's ready.Copy !req
446. - I just...
- Right now.Copy !req
447. - Right. What do you say?
- Thank you.Copy !req
448. Look here. Monica Bellucci, dammit.Copy !req
449. And this film will make you understand
women and maternal relationships.Copy !req
450. How nice.Copy !req
451. - Thanks, but we don't have a DVD player.
- Thank god.Copy !req
452. - We'll find a way to see them.
- I rarely watch films anymore.Copy !req
453. You should start writing.Copy !req
454. Yeah, so you say.Copy !req
455. Why wait for some old fart
to let you play Ophelia?Copy !req
456. - I'm playing Hamlet.
- I talked to Rachel about it.Copy !req
457. She's started developing her own projects.
Has a production company now.Copy !req
458. It's hard to be an actress.Copy !req
459. You decide nothing yourself.
Just wait for people to want you.Copy !req
460. - It's not healthy in the long run.
- I...Copy !req
461. It erodes your self-confidence, and your
need for attention becomes insufferable.Copy !req
462. I could never have married an actress.Copy !req
463. But fucking them was okay?Copy !req
464. Artists today are so petite bourgeoisie.
You'll never write "Ulysses"Copy !req
465. driving to soccer practice
and comparing car insurance.Copy !req
466. What happened to artistic freedom?
Artists need liberty.Copy !req
467. And not have kids then, dad?Copy !req
468. Don't say that, Nora.Copy !req
469. How old are you now?Copy !req
470. When Sissel was your age,
she had two children.Copy !req
471. Times have changed.Copy !req
472. You two are the best thing
that's happened to me.Copy !req
473. The best that's happened to you?Copy !req
474. Then why weren't you there?Copy !req
475. Everyone's mad at dad, huh?Copy !req
476. You two turned out fine, didn't you?Copy !req
477. How can you tell?
You don't even know us.Copy !req
478. - Stop exaggerating.
- Exaggerating?Copy !req
479. I know it's been hard for you.
I recognize myself in you.Copy !req
480. But you're so goddamn angry.Copy !req
481. It's hard to love someone
who's so full of rage.Copy !req
482. Right?
You don't want to be alone forever.Copy !req
483. It's not good for the art either.Copy !req
484. You need someone to care about.
Children or something.Copy !req
485. You never regret having children.Copy !req
486. Peter?Copy !req
487. Good to see you. Hi.Copy !req
488. Some place you have here.Copy !req
489. Yeah, thanks to Lasse Hallström, not you.Copy !req
490. He only booked you after seeing
"River of Time".Copy !req
491. Must be great for your grandkids.Copy !req
492. Well, it's still difficult with Daniel.
The worst part is that his kids suffer.Copy !req
493. They never get to come here
to see their grandpa.Copy !req
494. But hey...Copy !req
495. - This script...
- Not that bad, huh?Copy !req
496. - It's stunning.
- So you're in?Copy !req
497. Yeah, I have to do this.Copy !req
498. Come on, let's grab a drink.Copy !req
499. No. Oh.Copy !req
500. I don't think there's much
hand-held camera in this.Copy !req
501. I'm thinking dolly and tripod.Copy !req
502. Sorry for not staying in touch.
I'm bad at that between films.Copy !req
503. Same here, you know. Same here.Copy !req
504. I have to... I'll let you know
if this works out.Copy !req
505. Netflix also wants a say.Copy !req
506. They want us to talk to others as well.Copy !req
507. Right, so that's how it is?Copy !req
508. Yeah.Copy !req
509. That's how it is.Copy !req
510. Cheers.Copy !req
511. Good to see you.Copy !req
512. Hi, Nora.
I just wanted to call you to say that...Copy !req
513. We have to talk to each other.Copy !req
514. It can't be the case that...Copy !req
515. I don't like going to the theatre,
for example.Copy !req
516. And it's not that I don't like theatre.Copy !req
517. It's just that...
I can't stand watching it.Copy !req
518. But Chekhov is...Copy !req
519. I can read Chekhov.Copy !req
520. It's really...Copy !req
521. Not the plays, but...Copy !req
522. I'm sensitive. So are you.Copy !req
523. We're... alike in that sense.Copy !req
524. What the fuck.Copy !req
525. Oh, thanks.Copy !req
526. If you want to, you can touch her.
Feel that you're her mother.Copy !req
527. This is her State Police registry card
and her prison camp file.Copy !req
528. Karin Irgens' witness statement is here.
You applied for access to the whole file.Copy !req
529. And the file contains photographs from
reconstructions of the torture methods.Copy !req
530. Well, the images are unsettling.
I thought you should know.Copy !req
531. But I've marked the most relevant
information with tags.Copy !req
532. Well, thank you.Copy !req
533. IRGENS, KarinCopy !req
534. Sentenced for: Anti-nazi propagandaCopy !req
535. Treason trialCopy !req
536. Document list
- regarding instances of tortureCopy !req
537. Re: Defendant's crimes of treason -
the torture of Karin IrgensCopy !req
538. They tightened the leg clamps
until I screamed.Copy !req
539. The interrogator tied me to a stove.
It was very hot.Copy !req
540. They beat me with a rod.Copy !req
541. It was most painful.
The pain endured for months.Copy !req
542. When she told Even about it later,
it didn't feel as if she had much to add.Copy !req
543. They already knew most of it.Copy !req
544. It was hard to say why it had made
such a strong impression.Copy !req
545. Was it her grandmother's
witness statement, the dry,Copy !req
546. unsentimental way she described it?Copy !req
547. Or was it because she was just one of many
victims who testified in the same file?Copy !req
548. The police report on her suicide
15 years later was thin.Copy !req
549. There were no photographs.
But her father's name was there.Copy !req
550. He hadn't been questioned.Copy !req
551. He was just seven years old at the time.Copy !req
552. Then you pan quickly as hell.Copy !req
553. No, wait.Copy !req
554. Pay attention now.Copy !req
555. Cut.Copy !req
556. Show me.Copy !req
557. Good, huh?Copy !req
558. May I see?Copy !req
559. Great!Copy !req
560. Why don't we go to Nora's premiere
together?Copy !req
561. We could grab some dinner here first.Copy !req
562. I think I have to take a cab
straight from the office.Copy !req
563. - But you're coming?
- Of course.Copy !req
564. I want Erik to be in my film.Copy !req
565. - He's perfect.
- Okay?Copy !req
566. It's not that many lines,
but it's a key part, Rachel's son.Copy !req
567. That's nice, but...Copy !req
568. I don't know, he's not exactly
the actor type.Copy !req
569. I don't want an actor type.Copy !req
570. There's nothing worse than children
with jazz hands in a film.Copy !req
571. Like they're in a musical or something.Copy !req
572. There's something about Erik.Copy !req
573. He has secrets.Copy !req
574. You were also a bit shy, right?Copy !req
575. But great on screen.Copy !req
576. You should have kept at it.Copy !req
577. I'm not used to this.
I'm used to being in control.Copy !req
578. And if I wasn't in control,
I would enjoy it.Copy !req
579. Get it?Copy !req
580. Now I'm too old.Copy !req
581. There's barbed wire on the prairie.
The last damn Mohican.Copy !req
582. And the new guy keeps
sending me moodboards.Copy !req
583. Jeez, I really miss Peter.Copy !req
584. When did he become so goddamn frail?Copy !req
585. I'm too tired, Michael.Copy !req
586. What the hell happened?
15 years ago, I was 55.Copy !req
587. Maybe you're right.Copy !req
588. Maybe we are too old.Copy !req
589. This might be our last film together.Copy !req
590. Just don't tell me you need to
keep up with the times or anything.Copy !req
591. Promise me that.Copy !req
592. This theme...Copy !req
593. We know you've touched on it earlier.Copy !req
594. But you've never confronted it
in this way before.Copy !req
595. So purely. So personally.Copy !req
596. Okay, so it took all those yearsCopy !req
597. to get here.Copy !req
598. But you're gonna make this film, dammit.Copy !req
599. And do it your way.Copy !req
600. Got it?Copy !req
601. - Yeah.
- We'll just...Copy !req
602. Okay.Copy !req
603. Wait.Copy !req
604. Could you loosen it a bit?Copy !req
605. There.Copy !req
606. - Hi!
- Hi! Congratulations. You were fantastic.Copy !req
607. - Really great.
- Thanks.Copy !req
608. Everyone thinks it's so exciting.Copy !req
609. We got through it, I guess.Copy !req
610. Well, it was fun. Yeah.Copy !req
611. - Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.Copy !req
612. - You haven't answered my calls lately.
- I know.Copy !req
613. - Did you come with dad?
- No, he couldn't make it.Copy !req
614. We've got a babysitter, so we're going for
a drink at Tekehtopa. Wanna join us?Copy !req
615. Excuse me?
I really must congratulate you.Copy !req
616. - It was simply a fantastic performance.
- Thank you so much.Copy !req
617. Yes, I'm heading there now.
I'll let you know.Copy !req
618. But I can't this evening.Copy !req
619. I've often gone on stage sick.Copy !req
620. I've never cancelled a performance before,
but it's simply not possible.Copy !req
621. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
622. Yeah, thank you. Thanks.Copy !req
623. Okay. Bye.Copy !req
624. - Where's Erik?
- He'll be here soon.Copy !req
625. Why didn't you come to Nora's premiere?Copy !req
626. She didn't want me there.Copy !req
627. Let's see... This is the original.Copy !req
628. And here's the translation,Copy !req
629. so Erik can practice his English lines.
Don't worry about his accent.Copy !req
630. Have you talked to Michael?Copy !req
631. He has to take leave from school.Copy !req
632. I'm not sure it's a good idea.Copy !req
633. It's a great idea! It'll be awesome.Copy !req
634. - No, I'm not sure he wants to.
- Sure he does.Copy !req
635. - How do you know?
- I've talked to him.Copy !req
636. - Have you talked to him?
- I mentioned it.Copy !req
637. - He was ecstatic.
- You can't talk to him without me there!Copy !req
638. When you played in my film...Copy !req
639. It's the most beautiful memory I've got.Copy !req
640. This will be good.
Let's just look at the scenes.Copy !req
641. I think Rachel will enjoy
filming them with him.Copy !req
642. There's happiness in them.
She needs to see other aspects of...Copy !req
643. Stop talking. Just stop.Copy !req
644. - I don't want Erik to be in the film.
- But Agnes...Copy !req
645. And yes, it was nice, dad.Copy !req
646. It was fantastic. The time of my life.
I got to be with you.Copy !req
647. I was the centre of the universe.Copy !req
648. - Then you left. I didn't see you for ages.
- But it was fantastic!Copy !req
649. Yes.Copy !req
650. But I don't understand.Copy !req
651. I don't see how you can switch from being
so close and real to just vanishing.Copy !req
652. Suddenly someone else is
the centre of the universe.Copy !req
653. - Just read it!
- Jesus Christ!Copy !req
654. I don't care!
I don't care whether it's good or not.Copy !req
655. I care about Erik.Copy !req
656. Hi!Copy !req
657. Hi!Copy !req
658. - Grandpa was just leaving.
- Oh.Copy !req
659. Hi. How have you been?Copy !req
660. - Okay.
- Good to see you. I've missed you today.Copy !req
661. - Me too.
- You have?Copy !req
662. - So it's a good thing I came now.
- Right?Copy !req
663. Very good.
What shall we do while we wait for dad?Copy !req
664. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
665. Sorry for showing up like this,
but why don't you answer my calls?Copy !req
666. I'm sorry.Copy !req
667. - Are you okay?
- Mm.Copy !req
668. You have to answer the phone.Copy !req
669. You know how anxious I get when you don't.Copy !req
670. What's going on? Are you sick?Copy !req
671. No.Copy !req
672. I had a row with dad yesterday.Copy !req
673. I was furious.
He wants to put Erik in the film.Copy !req
674. I don't want that.Copy !req
675. But then I read the script.Copy !req
676. And it was so great.
Not at all what I imagined.Copy !req
677. Right. I know you don't want
anything to do with it.Copy !req
678. But I still want you to read it.Copy !req
679. Because I sense it's about you.Copy !req
680. Or...Copy !req
681. I think he wrote it for you.
It's not about his mother.Copy !req
682. Well.Copy !req
683. Could you read this bit for me?Copy !req
684. Don't mind that it's like...Copy !req
685. Well, a bit overwritten.Copy !req
686. Just read it.Copy !req
687. "You know, I don't believe in God at all."Copy !req
688. "We came from a home
where all that was irrelevant."Copy !req
689. "We weren't baptised. My sister and I had
a civil confirmation just for the money."Copy !req
690. "Then I had this kind of crisis."Copy !req
691. "I was alone in the house again,
lying in bed, crying."Copy !req
692. "I know everyone lies in bed crying
at some point, but..."Copy !req
693. "Someone said praying
isn't really talking to God."Copy !req
694. "It's acknowledging despair."Copy !req
695. "To throw yourself on the ground
because that's all you can do."Copy !req
696. "Not unlike heartbreak:"Copy !req
697. "'Call me. Please change your mind.'"Copy !req
698. "'Take me back.'"Copy !req
699. "There I was. I'd ruined everything."Copy !req
700. "I was alone, lying there, crying."Copy !req
701. "And then, for the first time,"Copy !req
702. "I sat down and prayed."Copy !req
703. "It's hard to explain."Copy !req
704. "I don't know who I prayed to,
but I said it out loud."Copy !req
705. "'Help me.'"Copy !req
706. "'I can't do this.'"Copy !req
707. "'I can't do it alone.'"Copy !req
708. "'I want a home.'"Copy !req
709. "'I want a home.'"Copy !req
710. Did you tell dad about...Copy !req
711. - My suicide attempt?
- No, of course not.Copy !req
712. I thought the same thing.
"How does he know?"Copy !req
713. It's mixed up with a lot of things
about his mother.Copy !req
714. But in some scenes it's as if he was there
when you went through it.Copy !req
715. Well, he wasn't.Copy !req
716. You were.Copy !req
717. How did it happen?Copy !req
718. You turned out fine,
and I became fucked up.Copy !req
719. That's not true.Copy !req
720. Why didn't our childhood ruin you?Copy !req
721. It hasn't always been easy for me.Copy !req
722. But you've managed to make a family.Copy !req
723. - A home.
- Yeah.Copy !req
724. There's one major difference
in the way we grew up.Copy !req
725. I had you.Copy !req
726. I know you think you're incapable
of caring, but you were there for me.Copy !req
727. When mom was down.Copy !req
728. You washed my hair.Copy !req
729. Combed it.Copy !req
730. Got me to school.Copy !req
731. I felt safe.Copy !req
732. I love you.Copy !req
733. You too.Copy !req
734. I mean, I love you too.Copy !req
735. Does it feel okay?Copy !req
736. How wonderful to wake up to such beauty.Copy !req
737. You have a wonderful smile.
Does your boyfriend say so? He should.Copy !req
738. Well, he does, actually.
I've heard it before.Copy !req
739. Jeez! Do you have anything else?
Like champagne?Copy !req
740. Champagne?Copy !req
741. Can I have some cookies too?Copy !req
742. - You know...
- Omar and the others always get cookies.Copy !req
743. - With chocolate.
- Just finish your sandwiches first.Copy !req
744. Okay.Copy !req
745. - Bye then.
- Bye.Copy !req
746. - Hi. What's the matter?
- I forgot my mobile.Copy !req
747. - Bye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
748. Okay.Copy !req
749. Cut.Copy !req
750. - Perfect.
- We've cut. Moving on.Copy !req
