The Gulf of Finland, variable winds at 1-5 m/s.
Isolated showers but good visibility. At night...
Oh no, Mitzi is smoking.
- I'll help you with this. - Thanks.
- Hi! - Hi.
Thank you, I still get nauseous sitting in the back.
Yes, I started again, but I'm going to quit.
Thank god for the weekend.
Natali, this island trip was such a great idea.
I love being with you girls. I couldn't handle a birthday party right now.
- What happened? - Nothing.
Just work stuff.
Oh yeah...
I'm just going to do this for the whole weekend.
You should have a birthday party...
No way! Don't even mention it.
Let's just have fun.
Girls...
I won't be available. I told you that already.
Yeah, Finland, Finland.
Okay, I keep my cell on. But really, don't call.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
Try it!
- It's going to fall down. - It'll last the weekend.
I got to take a leak.
Great... What do we do now?
- Don't hold it so high. - Be careful.
Don't damage the material, brother.
Put it there. Pull!
I wonder where Mitzi's hipster husband is.
- Did you message him? - They're coming!
GAMES PEOPLE PLAY
This is wonderful!
- No... It's a surprise. - Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
- This is a surprise! - Happy birthday.
Hurray, hurray, hurray.
Piss off!
Hey, Mitzi...
- Should I run after her? - No!
Mitzi!
- Let's go. - Shall I take the bag?
Little Mitzi!
Mitzi!
Mitzi, come on, come back!
- This was a bust. - What did you expect?
Let's greet each other at least.
Hi! It's nice to see you.
- Can you help me with our stuff? - Sure.
Hi, Veronika.
Okay. Don't worry. She'll calm down soon.
- Are you sure? - That's Mitzi.
- Let's tell them today. - Did dad leave the gas bottle there?
- Yes. - And did you get everything?
Good.
Okay. I got to go. We'll try to make it there before dark.
- It doesn't get dark here. - Oh right...
See you soon.
- I was first here back in 2000. - You were like five years old.
Don't tease my little brother.
How about 10 years ago when Mitzi turned 25?
- That was a great weekend. - Let's have it again, then.
- It can't be 10 years already. - It is.
- We're all here. - Except your sister.
- Where's Veronika? - Her Majesty is too busy.
- Did she call you just now? - No.
I mean yes. She did.
Look.
She's all awkward. Look at her.
- Who called? Was it some guy? - No.
Look at her! She's blushing.
She's got a guy!
- How incredibly moving! - No, I don't!
This is going to be at least as fun as 10 years ago.
Or at least as bad as 20 years ago.
- This is the drink of our tribe. - Is our tribe worth this?
Cheers.
I would never replace you. I'm not so sure about the ladies.
What are you talking about?
Well. Thinking about that legendary night
20 years ago that we spent with Mitzi and Veronika.
What about it?
Mitzi! Here you go.
Although we had the greatest encounter ever,
riding bikes in the summer night,
everything felt larger than life,
and Mr. Writer describes it in his masterpiece...
Get to the point.
It was a mess. I don't know if it was worth all the pain.
Where's that hipster husband of yours?
I wonder if he's...
...sampling the finest whiskeys.
No, he's not.
- Sorry. I got more wood. - It's okay. Thanks.
- Yeah... - I'm a little messed up right now.
Right.
I find this pretty weird too.
- But this is good. - Yeah.
Everyone has moved on.
I'm with Ulla and... you're married.
- Sorry! You okay? - Just startled me.
- Sorry. - No...
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about the wedding.
Are we having this conversation now?
- I don't think we have to. - Me neither.
Maybe it's this birthday or... middle age.
You start going through all the crap in your life.
- Was it crap? - I didn't mean it like that.
You know...
I don't want to be as bad as the woman in your book.
- You read it? - Of course.
I loved it.
- Are you mad, Härde? - Of course I am.
- About what? - I saw you.
You can't go down that path again. Don't do it. It's over.
You saw what? I'm not doing anything.
I haven't even talked to her in ages.
You're the smartest guy I know. How can you be this stupid?
It took me years to pull you back together.
Mitzi left, like she always does. She's married. It's over.
It's over. I know.
She left me. I was a wreck for three years.
I wrote her out of my system.
That didn't sound good but whatever...
I know it's too late.
You promise?
It's good that we talked. It cleared the air.
I promise.
What's so funny, brother?
What is it?
- Can someone get the glasses? - I'll do it.
I'm so hungry.
This is so good. Natali, will you marry me?
- This is so good. - Where is Lauri?
Can someone help me pour?
Wow, that's classy.
Well...
We have an announcement...
I'm just going to say it.
What the hell?
Is it coming here?
No way...
Thank you.
- You came. - Of course I did.
- On a plane? - I was in a hurry to see you.
- The queen has arrived. - The other one.
- This is Mitzi! - Nice to meet you.
Is that the Swedish guy from that Viking show?
- No... - He looks the same.
Hi, great to see you.
Everyone. This is Mikael.
- Hello! - Is it him?
- Hi there. - Hello.
Hi! My name is Natali.
I'm Veronika's half-sister.
Veronika. What is this?
It all happened so fast. It's a bit crazy.
Hello, darling.
If I go...
I'm sorry my Swedish is terrible. Can we speak English?
Certainly. No problem at all.
It's fucking crazy that you all still have to study Swedish in school.
Whatever for?
- I'm Juhana. Nice to meet you. - Mikael.
- Yeah, this is Ulla, my girlfriend. - Hi, great to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I just have to say, I'm a big fan of your work.
Oh, thanks. That's very sweet of you.
- Oh, but who are you? - Her name is Woolf.
- Are you a little wolf? - Woolf, like in Virginia Woolf.
Woolf. I'm sorry, of course.
Yeah, I'm Härde.
- Hair day? - What?
Hair day?
- Hair day? You mean... - Yeah.
- No, no. - Sorry.
No, no, it's...
Yeah, very funny. No, it's Härde. Yeah, whatever. Whatever.
I used to be madly in love with Veronika.
I don't blame you.
- So you better be good for her. - I appreciate your candour.
I think we both have Veronika's best interest at heart.
- Aha, okay. - Yeah.
That was some Finnish small talk for you.
Cool beans!
I prefer the Finnish way.
I'm the little brother of this fucking crazy person. I'm Janne.
I took a year off from acting
and thought I'd finally finish my Master's at Cambridge.
It was this boring cocktail party for alumni.
Can you believe it, he's bred and born in Stockholm
but has never been to Finland before.
You didn't even take the Finland's färjan to see the former colony.
Stop it now!
Well of course as a teenager
I might've not been able to appreciate the weirdness of your country.
- Weirdness, yeah. - But I love Finland now.
Sure, we're all little Moomin trolls for you.
Yes, I am.
Did you guys have an announcement to make just before they came?
Yeah, was there something?
Mitzi had... You had something to say.
No, let's not talk about it now.
What announcement?
It's nothing. I mean...
I'm divorcing Lauri.
- But it's not a big deal... - What?
- Really, it's nothing. - I'm so sorry we dragged you here.
No, don't worry about it!
Stop it!
I'm so sorry. I just wanted to throw you a party.
Just like 10 years ago. Why didn't you tell me?
Calm down! It's not so serious.
It's just a divorce.
I'm just a divorced middle-aged woman, for fuck's sake.
You know what's the worst part?
I'm exactly where I was 10 years ago. I've done nothing with my life.
- We still have time. - No, we don't.
The ice caps are melting, we're all going extinct...
Civilisation is falling and everything is going to burn!
I didn't mean to be all doom and gloom.
I'll pull through like always.
Everything is shit right now, but it won't last forever.
Nothing will.
Except you and me.
Everything seems to be going well for you.
Eh? You have a PhD and everything.
It won't matter when the world ends.
You've got that Viking over there. He might come in handy.
All right, give me a job, baby.
- This is simple enough for you. - Stop it.
I'm a great cook nowadays.
Although for you...
...I only made instant noodles.
- And nothing else. - Is that so?
That's not too good. It happened quite a few times.
Fuck...
The weathervane had fallen down. We put it back up.
Someone should fix everything around here.
Or dad should sell this place.
It feels a bit like "Grey Gardens" in here.
- You're not really going to sell it? - Should I turn on the grill?
Not yet. We'll go to the sauna first.
Absolutely. Right?
This is good.
Is everything okay?
You seem tense.
I'm fine.
Seriously.
It's frustrating now that we're all together,
you all start acting like I'm 15 again.
Okay...
You feel that way?
I'm sure it's this place.
I promise I'll try to act normal, but you should relax a bit.
Right. Sorry.
Janne.
I have to tell you...
I'm really happy that we've become such good friends.
Right.
Come here.
I'm sorry I was so melodramatic.
It's okay.
This is a pretty challenging situation.
Yes, it is.
- Maybe we should just leave. - Yeah.
I want to love a Russian girl
I want to throw up in a samovar
Cheers!
That's right. Every other day I feel
I should just close my social media accounts.
On the other hand, I can't let them win.
You have to stick it out and stay visible.
We read the same articles, we sign the same petitions.
What's the point?
If some company is just going to spy on us.
We should start a revolution.
Viva la revolución!
Of course we should, but how do we do it?
- I don't know, but not like this. - Guys. In English, please.
But they're talking about a revolution.
So would you join our revolution without a cause?
Or actually, with too many causes, I think.
Well I'll follow your lead to the barricades. You know that right?
- Veronika, more artichoke? - No thanks.
But give me one of those lamb chops.
- I thought you were a vegetarian. - Not anymore. I know, it's awful.
- But this is organic, right? - I guess so.
I'm on a... We're on a paleo diet.
- Oh yeah, how interesting. - Hey!
- No, I really mean it! - Try it!
- Try it. You'll feel better. - No, no!
- No, I was honest! - Just try it. One week.
So Veronika told me you're an amazing writer.
What are you working on now?
I'm kind of in between some projects.
You're writing. He's writing right now. A children's book.
It's really funny. Hömmeli and Hämmeli.
That's nice. Sweet. Hömmeli and Hämmeli.
No, we have complete trust in Juhana's writing in the publishing house.
He's a brilliant writer.
Oh, so you work together.
Yeah, yeah.
Partners in crime. Hömmeli and Hämmeli.
Mitzi I think you're right. I think we hang out way too much on Facebook.
I feel like I should be more present.
Live in the moment.
Why don't you frame that phrase?
Let's put our phones away for the weekend.
A good idea.
- First one down. - Seriously? Okay.
In there. Thanks. Natali?
I did. Come on.
Shouldn't we take pictures?
We already have plenty of those. Give it to me.
- I have this meditation app... - Oh, stop it!
It helps me calm down...
I guess I can meditate without it.
- Härde. - You have to testify in court
when my crazy ex uses this as proof of my irresponsibility.
- Using your kid as an excuse... - Indeed.
- It's my fault if you lose your kid? - Completely your fault.
- But what if there's an emergency? - What emergency?
- A nuclear meltdown or something. - Think about it.
If that plant explodes, we would all die instantly.
- Why would you say that? - Anything could happen.
I'm sure they would sound an alarm on the radio.
- Radio? - No, they would blare the sirens.
- What sirens? - The sirens!
I don't know if you can hear them here...
One of us should have a phone.
In case something happens.
Seriously! The world is not going to end if we turn off our phones.
Who cares, there's no signal.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
So how did you guys all meet?
What happened was that Mitzi and Veronika went to see
this awful movie in the cinema.
And Mitzi was so enraged
about the film that
she told everybody that don't go see the film.
So we met at the cinema door.
And actually Härde and I never saw the film.
Yeah, she was bossy already back then.
- No, not bossy, The Boss. - Oh, of course yeah, The Boss.
Actually this angel saved me from the ghetto when I was 15.
She's an angel.
Yes. You know, high school, same class, you know the story.
Then they cycled through the city for the rest of the night.
Super romantic.
Then Juhana and Mitzi started their decade-long relationship.
Actually fun fact. On our first date,
I actually thought I was going out with him. With Härde.
- What? - I thought it was you.
No, Veronika called me because you didn't have a phone.
You asked me to ask Juhana out with you.
- That's because I mixed up their names. - What?
- This sound juicy? - I had mixed up their names somehow.
But Veronika thought I was perfect with him, so...
So your love story is based on mistaken identity.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
Are you being serious? Are you screwing with me?
It's not a big deal.
What the fuck? Why didn't you tell me?
- What? I thought it was funny. - It's very funny.
That's the good thing about social media.
If you had had Facebook back then, none of this would have happened.
I hope it's okay if we take it easy tonight.
- I really need a good night's sleep. - Yeah. Of course.
It's good that we'll rest.
I want tomorrow to be perfect for Mitzi.
I didn't quite follow why it was such a big deal.
It was just silly talk. Härde could've never made Mitzi happy.
You seem pretty certain what makes your friends happy.
Okay, it sounds bad when you say it like that, but...
It just feels like you all took it so seriously,
like there's something more to it.
I don't expect you to understand us right away.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
I guess you're right.
Relax. It's all good. I'm all yours.
That was some crazy shit earlier.
Imagine if things had turned out all different.
Take it easy, boys. The real party is tomorrow.
I'll take care of him for you. Good night.
Fuck it. Let's take the E.
Do people still call it that? Molly?
What E?
You mean the one we bought last year?
You brought it?
The E we never had the time to do.
You were too busy playing badminton or writing...
Well, now I'm not.
I don't know...
Not sure if this is the place. Or the group. Or the time.
Fuck that. Now's the time.
If we do it, we won't sleep all night.
- What the fuck? - What?
Show me.
- Is that mould? - For fuck's sake.
There was nothing here back then!
The first Finnish settlers were in Swedish colonies.
- Can't have been in the 1600s. - Yes, they were!
- I'll look it up. - Please do. Google it.
That's right, you can't. You'll just have to believe me.
For once I know something you don't. Cheers to that.
Fine, Finns travelled to America then.
But I was saying...
Finns founded utopian communities there at the beginning of the 1900s.
And I think it was Finn Town in Georgia
that survived till the 60s.
Juhana just had to compensate. Couldn't bear it.
Yeah, he couldn't bear it. I noticed.
But you're our brainiac. Even if I know stuff you don't.
- But really, that's interesting. - What is?
They were so idealistic!
A new land, a new society, a new world...
Just a couple of Indians in the way.
Dear friends! If I were to start a utopia,
I'd do it with you!
- We should start one. - What?
A new society. Here on the island.
It'll happen anyway when capitalism peaks and destroys everything.
Soon it's the Wild West. Pillaging and chaos as it all falls apart.
If there's anything left after the previous generation.
Mitzi, you're such a positive person.
- I just thought I'd say what... - Sure, sure.
But you have a point. Maybe we should practice our pioneering skills.
I fucking hate tents.
Mum says I quit the Scouts after the first camping trip.
Poor little Juhana.
We're designing 3D-printable small houses at uni.
They can be set up anywhere.
What? I don't get it.
3D-printable small houses.
That's far out. You live in the future, man.
Or you live in the past.
Good point.
Okay, okay.
If we were to start a utopia, who would you be?
- I'd be a shaman. - That's right.
You'd be a shaman.
Or medicine woman. You don't like being called a witch.
I always wanted to be a cowboy.
Really, a cowboy?
- Jesus. - Okay, Härde's turn.
- Tell us! - I guess... a saloon owner.
Yes! And Juhana would be a priest.
- Juhana the priest! He got serious. - A little bit.
Look at how beautiful the sky is.
Isn't the colour a bit unnatural?
Like something's burning.
Is the nuclear plant on that island?
You can't see it from this far away.
I think.
They say the chances of another Chernobyl are 50%.
What do you mean, 50%? In what time span?
I don't remember. Pretty soon, I guess.
But humans can survive anything.
There's plenty of people living in Chernobyl nowadays.
Drunken lad would love to put his hand
on every girl's shoulder, every girl's shoulder
Drunken lass loves to put her hand
on every boy's shoulder
What will the drunken lad do
with a lady in the house, lady in the house?
What will the drunken lass do
with a master in the house?
Brings in a maid and pays her well
It makes life easier, makes life easier
Or brings in a man and pays him well
It makes life easier
Well done! It was really good.
You two singing that song is
pretty meta.
I'm not quite sure my neighbourhood compares to his cultured suburb.
Oh, please!
Are you saying you're the only one with street cred?
Life wasn't so rosy in our parts, either.
Mitzi from the block!
Hell, you're a 35-year-old Master of Arts.
Screw you.
Janne still hasn't learned to hold his liquor.
Janne, maybe you should go to bed.
- I'll take a leak. - Bring me a beer, will you?
Is that how it goes?
It pisses the rich off
when the drunkard is pretty, the drunkard is pretty...
- I love that sound. - Me too.
Please don't fuck him.
What?
You just got divorced, but please don't go to Juhana for comfort.
Oh, please.
Under all that sarcastic intellectual bullshit, he's a sensitive guy.
What are you going on about? I didn't come here to fuck.
Another drink!
What?
Yeah.
I think I'm off to bed.
- Already? - Yeah, I'm getting tired.
Maybe we should go too.
Damn, I just poured these. Let's drink them, OK?
I still have this... I'll go for a smoke first.
- Good night! - Night.
My cigs are there somewhere...
I think it's really cool
that we can be here like this.
Like how?
Present.
We haven't had that for a while.
Well...
Lauri didn't really want me to keep in touch with you.
I figured.
But don't you think that our...
...shared history...
- Don't you think it's... - What?
More important than just some relationships.
"Some relationships." I was married for three years.
You know what I mean.
I was really...
I really appreciate what you said about my book.
- I mean it... - Yeah, yeah.
It's especially important to me that you...
That you approve of it.
Of course I do. You're a fucking Finlandia prize nominee!
That I am.
- Not the winner, though. - Come on!
Yeah, well.
Not sure what to think about that revelation, though.
Please, not that again. I just thought it'd be...
...a funny story.
- I was your mistake. - Oh, come on.
OK, listen.
I should know if I made a mistake
because I've made so many in my life.
No, we can't.
Fuck, I'm never going to get over you.
Hey.
These feelings, they're not real.
It's just this fucking place and situation.
If I feel it, it's true.
There's no past or returning to something.
We're the same people we were then.
No, we're not. Are we?
I think that compared to you... Compared to us...
Compared to us, everything else is trivial.
Mitzi, I don't exist without you.
Wow.
That's maybe the most beautiful thing
or at least the most pathetic thing anyone has ever said to me.
It's a little hard to be eloquent right now.
In the state I'm in.
Forgive me.
- It's okay. - Please.
One, two, three...
There you go!
Hey, pancakes made by a film star.
The happiest birthday ever.
Howdy.
I tried to come to bed but Janne was there.
Mikael.
- Your pancakes are amazing! - Thank you.
- I need a hair of the dog. - Mr. Saloonkeeper sampled his own wares.
Quite possibly, Mr. Holy Man.
If I confess my sins, will you take away this infernal headache?
The pastor prescribes ten Hail Marys and ten little boys.
- Stop it. - You can't say anything these days.
What are you guys talking about?
- I'll be a midwife. No, a doctor. - A good choice for a priest's wife.
Okay Mikael, what about you?
Well I think this town is in need of a sheriff.
Perfect.
I think this utopia sounds more like the Wild West so I'll run the brothel.
I'll be the mama.
Yeah, but I don't know how that goes with my business.
What? What what what? We'll partner up and make a lucrative business together.
All McCabe and Mrs. Miller style.
Okay, I agree.
And Natali, you work for me.
No, no, no. I'm only a dancer.
No, there's no such thing as only a cancan dancer.
- Why is our utopia like this? - Utopia, dystopia... same difference.
So, we let you go easy yesterday.
Give us something. What are your big plans?
My big plans?
Well, Mikael has been invited to The Royal Dramatic Theatre.
- And he will direct too. - Impressive.
Still very much not public information.
So, no more Hollywood?
No.
I don't exactly love L.A.
- Do you know what I mean? - No, we don't know what you mean.
I do miss home. Stockholm.
Stockholm is of course a much better place to raise a family, eventually.
But you'll be in Cambridge, won't you?
Well, I was offered a scholarship in Stockholm too, so actually not.
Wasn't the Cambridge offer quite a big deal?
- Yeah. - Yes, but it wasn't really for me...
- A tenure track, come on. - Yeah.
- But you found a place for both of you. - Yeah.
We found a place together that we both like.
- But is it as good? - Yes.
I know it's none of my business, but...
You'll just give up everything and push out blond babies for this hunk?
Härde, please.
Okay, I think we all need a drink.
Yes, a drink.
- Ulla, for you. - No thanks.
Come on, loosen up. Have some morning booze.
- Morning booze is good for you. - I'm good, thanks.
- Take it. - Here, give it to me.
I think it's a good opportunity for us to also announce our news.
We're waiting.
And we're expecting.
- We're having a baby. - Shut up!
What?
Congratulations!
Seriously, you had sex withhim? My condolences.
Hey, congratulations.
- Congratulations. - I wanted to tell you.
Sorry about the morning booze. Congratulations.
- Congratulations, this is great! - Thanks!
I'm pretty shocked and disappointed that you didn't tell me.
Well, this is quite new.
I didn't realise we were going to announce it already. But yeah.
- Of course you'd tell us. - Of course!
- So when's the baby due? - In seven months.
- Oh, exciting! - Okay.
I don't get it. Why didn't we tell them?
I didn't want to interrupt their moment...
Why is their moment more important than ours?
- Come on, a baby. - Come on, our love.
Maybe we shouldn't tell them at all.
- Maybe we shouldn't. - Maybe not.
So you're a new addition to the group?
What gave that away?
It's a bit cultish at times.
Big changes ahead?
I guess so.
You're the first ones of your circle to do that, right?
Yeah, no, Härde has a kid.
- She's like three or something. - Really? That's news to me.
It was a random hook-up. And it's been kind of a mess.
That's tough.
Can't imagine that.
Guess I'm a traditionalist when it comes to family.
But the two of you seem to be all settled and ready?
Is anyone ever ready?
- Stop being so dry. - What?
- Yeah, lighten up. You're too dry. - You're too dry!
I wanted you to have a perfect weekend.
I know, thanks.
There's just a lot going on.
- I'll row. - Sure.
About Stockholm...
One thing that I thought about was
that it's easier to visit from there.
It'd be much closer to you and everyone.
But for real, it's no Cambridge.
These are way too small.
Oh no, this one's stuck.
That was some crazy shit.
It's huge that you'll be a dad too.
It's kind of crazy shit for me too.
So it was an accident?
- Well, not exactly... - But you hadn't planned it?
We had discussed it.
Ulla is great and probably way too good for you...
But?
But are you in love with her?
Like, do you feel it here?
Don't you think you might be projecting something on to me?
Don't start on that psychoanalysis shit.
Your longest relationship lasted two months.
And that wasn't even with Nella's mum.
- Is that how you see me? - That's how everyone sees you.
- I'm not that clown from your book. - Then who are you? Tell me.
You think my relationships are a joke
and yours are bigger than life itself.
Can you check there's enough wood in the sauna?
Yeah, sure.
- Thanks, Juhana. - Sorry. I didn't mean it.
Is that enough?
So I guess you would actually be a good pioneer.
No, I'm just a city boy really.
But I had to learn this when we were shooting a period piece for HBO.
- Nice. - Yes.
You're so hunched up.
Sweetie, you're so tense.
Aw, that bowl.
You always wanted to lick it clean as a child, remember?
Your hair and your little round cheeks were covered with dough.
Is there yeast in it?
A lot of people are sensitive to it.
So annoying!
Well done!
Go go!
Run, run!
Run! Go go go!
Shit!
I'm going to throw it.
- Of course it was a run! - No, it wasn't!
Run!
- Go and get it! Go! - Come on!
It went through to the other side! Do you see it?
Shit!
- Ow! - Are you hurt?
Just a stupid stick. Fuck, that hurts!
- Show me. - It's fine.
Is everything okay over there?
Yes!
I'm sorry that Ulla told you...
You thought you'd have a baby in secret?
No, but... the timing...
...sucks.
I'll be happy for you later.
That you get to experience this with someone.
We were so relieved, when...
When we lost it.
Then we knew we had to break up. But...
Sometimes I wonder what kind of a family we would've been.
Yeah...
We can't do this anymore.
You're right, we can't.
Are those the kind of shorts young people wear?
But you're not so young anymore.
Hey, stop it.
- What is it? - You still behave like you own me.
- Hey, come on. - Let me get this straight.
That possibility is off the table.
- I didn't mean that... - Hush.
I'm not interested.
I got the feeling
that you didn't mean to tell people yet.
Well, we had to tell eventually.
But today? On Mitzi's birthday.
Well, perhaps it's not so easy for me to be here,
throwing the perfect birthday party for the love of his life.
- Should I talk to Juhana? - Don't.
Don't take this the wrong way,
but sometimes it makes me sad.
Juhana doesn't realise what he has.
We do have fun together.
It's wonderful.
When it's just the two of us
or we're with other friends, he's totally different.
He's more grown-up.
Argh, everything I try to say sounds so ridiculous.
Don't worry about what other people think.
I just want you to be happy.
- Catch anything? - One bream.
I gave it to a seagull. The fish are all gone.
- What's with the ladies' sauna? - I asked the same thing.
- We used to go together. - Always!
- We're so old. It sucks. - It sucks.
We're probably too old to catch fish, too.
Härde!
- What? - Come here.
What is it?
Remember this?
Of course I do.
- Let's not do this anymore. - Do what?
Please, don't.
We've played this game for twenty years.
- No more gazes like that. - Like what?
No, I mean it.
Tell me something real.
What is "real"? You say something real.
Who are you to speak to anyone like that?
I hate my job so much that I get high before I go to work.
Okay.
I don't know if moving to Sweden is the right thing to do.
I drink too fucking much
and pick up girls who are way too young.
I work so much that I can't even remember what sex is like.
The mother of my child hates me so much that I haven't seen my kid for a month.
I'm still not sure if I even want to have kids.
Listen to yourself.
You're not saying anything.
You're always so fucking wholesome.
Who are you really, Veronika?
Don't turn your back on me.
What do you want?
What's "real" enough for you?
That I often feel anxious?
Or that I don't think I deserve this air that I breathe?
Or that I lie awake at night and want to claw my face off?
Is this what you want to hear? Is it real enough?
Something like that, yeah.
Hey, could someone help me in the kitchen?
I'll be right there!
Okay...
Since we got down to business, there's one more thing.
You should think about what you gained
from imagining you were in love with me all those years.
What do you mean "imagining"?
What are you on about?
What I gained was a shitty feeling.
It was pretty safe for you to tell yourself and others
that you were tragically in love with me
while fucking everything that moved.
Veronika, can you please come?
Coming. I've got to go.
You can't say that and then just leave!
It was safe for me, too.
That's enough for me?
- I think I'll go as well. - Fuck off, you guys.
- Howdy, boys. - Hello, hello.
Look. What the fuck is that?
- I wonder what killed it. - Old age, maybe.
I guess fish die of old age, too.
Boys, hello!
What...
- Hey, what are you guys doing? - Get some fucking water!
Hey, follow my finger!
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Have you got low blood pressure?
Oh my god. Are you okay?
- I love it. - Amazing.
Try this, I bet it works.
So tell me again, what's the idea of this... dress up game?
Nobody remembers anymore. We just have always done this here.
Do you have a shirt that goes with this pimp's outfit?
Okay. Definitely.
- Second round! - I can't keep up with you guys.
This is a ritual. This will make you Finnish. Okay?
Right, I'm not so sure about that one.
- That's why I said... - Don't hold it.
For real. I'll do this.
Wow, looks great.
Okay, keep your head straight.
Is this a funny joke or a terrible joke?
Both.
- What? - No, it's been a good day.
Fair maiden, you grew up
in your father's hut
Like a beautiful flower
on a green meadow
Your cunt is like a cat's cunt compared to mine
They sell 15 cunts like yours for the price of mine
Happy birthday!
Make a wish.
Your pussy is like a cat's pussy compared to mine.
And you can buy 15 pussies for the price of my pussy.
A day in a spa. This is fucking expensive!
Take a plate, Janne.
Take a plate. Let's give her some cake.
Does anyone else want cake?
You, you. What about you?
I'm handsy? What are you on about?
Are you saying I'm a MeToo guy, eh?
Well, you're a bit of an old git.
Hey, hold on a second.
Ladies, please tell me, do you think I'm handsy?
Not handsy per se, but...
But what?
You do touch us in a possessive way.
In a possessive way?
I'm a tactile person. I give hugs to Juhana, too.
But you also lift us up and move us out of the way.
- Move you? - You lift us up in the air.
- Pat us on the head. - Yeah, okay.
And... do you find it distressing?
No. You've always been like that.
Yeah, we're used to it.
Yeah well, maybe I have to go to a rehabilitation camp...
- It's not that serious. - This is deep.
I don't even notice it.
See? That's how they treat old, stuffy gits.
Keep your mouth shut.
- Are they cold? - Yeah.
Yes! Take all of them.
Ready!
You should know by now that cardboard is not water-proof!
Pull me up!
Pull, pull. Fuck, it's algae or something.
Wait, wait.
- Was it cold? - Yeah.
Look.
- Honey, what's the matter? - It's alive. It's suffering.
Eww, shit!
We have to do something.
Fuck, that's disgusting.
- A mouse. - Yuck.
Okay, we have to kill it. Hey!
- Smack it. - Hit it.
No, no. Look at it, it's still alive.
Come on, man. Hit it.
No, you didn't hit it. No, it's still alive.
- Ulla, what... - Don't touch!
That was fantastic mate. I see you've sung a lot.
He was almost a Finnish rock star back in the day.
Thank you Natali. That sound just great.
Seriously you should be a pro. You could be a pro.
I'm just a middle-aged cultural producer now.
But hey, have a drink with a washed-up wannabe rock star.
And now that our paradise has frozen under snow and ice
Now that it feels like winter will never end
I'm glad that I have you, that you stay here with me,
that I can love you until the end of time
I'm glad I could give you the remains of my life,
that you accepted me the way I once was
In our private summer land, on a lakeshore on the sand,
we found out that life can be grand
Yeah, it was a bit cheesy, but...
Hey, for real.
- You were good. - Wonderful!
Mikael, it's your turn to spin the bottle.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm not going to sing after you.
I understand the man. He doesn't want to.
Truth it is.
The categories are:
love, sex, and shame.
Okay. All very intriguing of course.
This is tricky 'cos I don't know you so well.
I choose love.
When did you realise you were in love with Ulla?
- What, was that lame? - No, that was so sweet.
Juhana, tell the story.
Yeah...
I don't know. I mean...
I mean what's "in love" anyway?
Juhana, no, no.
Yeah, yeah. I remember when we kissed for the first time, I think...
- Wasn't it... - Hey, that's not funny.
When did you realise you were in love with Ulla?
But you had the...
The encounter.
Yeah, at the Flow Festival.
- When? - At Flow. Nick Cave was performing.
At this festival.
By then, we had been dating for a year.
Like I said, I don't remember.
I don't know.
Come on, let the poor man go.
He's obviously a true, shy Finnish guy with a lot of suppressed emotions.
- I will accept your answer. - Yeah.
Ulla, come!
Janne.
Hey, Janne.
You want to humiliate me.
You're embarrassed because you're dating Little Janne.
You're ashamed of us.
No, I'm not.
You're so fucking transparent.
You jump and dance around them like a teenager.
And you laugh at Härde's every joke.
Hey, not here.
Someone might come here.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, that was awful.
I'm so sorry.
What do you want from me?
Huh? I want you.
For real. All of you. Do you get it?
Björn Borg is shit-faced.
Mission accomplished.
Juhana!
Janne!
- Darling, do you want a drink? - Actually not.
I heard a yes!
Would you have guessed that we're still here?
I suppose I would have.
But in that scenario, I'd be on a break from my world tour.
- I'd be only visiting. - Right.
But you would've stayed humble enough to come and see us losers.
Of course.
- But you'd all be cooler, too. - Oh, right.
I'd be a famous photographer.
I wouldn't do brand photoshoots in a content marketing team.
You wouldn't have to. There'd be a thing called journalism,
and people would read.
And Juhana would have won the Finlandia Prize.
Imagine how anxious he'd be then.
- He'd be hyper anxious. - Fucking anxious.
I don't know...
I always imagined I'd have a kid by now.
Or a few.
But you've still got time.
Actually I don't.
What?
Yeah...
Not gonna happen.
- I'm sorry. - I'm glad I was able to tell someone.
I feel better.
Pretty hardcore.
Are you okay?
I mean, how are you?
It's been a shitty year.
I don't know...
The kid would've turned out to be a right-wing hockey player.
Would I have been able to love him after all?
No, you wouldn't have.
So...
Of course you would have.
- You asked... - It didn't break because of that.
- What the fuck? - No, fuck. Come on. A phone.
- Hey, where did you get that? - It's actually my second phone. Sorry.
- Do we get our phones back? - No, no.
Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing,
but I have this very important thing going on.
- Yeah, important person alert! - I know, it's embarrassing...
- What is it? - No, I can't tell you.
- You can tell us. - No, no I can't tell you.
It's my birthday. You have to tell me.
- I shouldn't say anything about it. - You have to.
I've been offered this role in an... western.
- And you'd be the sheriff. - Yes.
I shouldn't say anything about it. Okay, I'll do it.
The most, the most wicked thing is that...
- It's a fucking Scorsese movie! - What?
Yay, congratulations!
What? He's my favourite director. I love Raging Bull.
Yeah I know right!
Congrats.
The monk film was horrible. People laughed in the cinema.
- He directed the Rocky movies. - No, no.
Congratulations! Sounds like an amazing opportunity.
Come on, darling, you don't say no to Scorsese.
Yeah of course you don't.
Don't be like that.
- Like what? - Like that...
Keep your hands off!
- This is me. - This is you?
This is me being perfectly civilised.
Come on.
What's so funny?
Can we at least be adults about this?
- Adults? - Yeah.
What do you know about adulthood in real life?
I'm sure it was fascinating to do research with us academics.
It was so silly of me to take you seriously.
But you know, it was just my career, so it's all fine.
Maybe you should go browsing Victoria's Secret catalogue
for your next girlfriend, now that your exotic little trip to my life is over.
Is that how you see me?
I hope the research was fruitful.
Fuck you Veronika!
Fuck Veronika.
What is going on here?
Should you go after him? He seemed upset.
Maybe you shouldn't give me relationship advice.
Unlike you, I don't throw myself at men, who don't want me.
Sorry, I don't know why I said that.
Fuck you, Veronika.
- I'm sorry, I'm drunk. - No, I don't buy that anymore.
If you had the vagina to face your emotions
instead of being passive-aggressive,
perhaps we'd all be a bit happier.
You don't have to be perfect all the time.
I only used to lick that bowl because I knew you found it funny.
All I ever wanted was for you to see me.
- I'm your sister, not her. - Calm down, Natali.
Fuck, Mitzi. Everyone loves you, and you don't even see it.
For some reason, we all try to make you happy
and worry about your next tantrum.
Do you have any idea how much we sugar-coat the world for you?
I'm such an idiot
for not being able to say...
...that I'm in love with Janne. And now I may have lost him.
I want all of you.
Fuck, you always do that.
- How about a drink, sister-in-law? - I keep forgetting Janne is an adult.
If you can call a thirty-year-old an adult.
I'm still bothered about what you said about my date with Mitzi.
Are you serious? That's what bothers you?
You knew our names, right?
Yeah.
Did you... do it on purpose?
- Yeah. - No!
- Hey, what? - Eh?
- I don't remember. It was so long ago. - Yes, it was.
You always talk about that night. How can you not remember?
This has nothing to do with you, Ulla.
- Wow... - But he has a point.
After that night you had to know which one I liked.
- What? - I mixed up their names, but you knew.
- Well? - Maybe.
It never would have worked. Härde was a total mess back then.
- Juhana was better for you. - How can you be that arrogant?
- But I was right... - Veronika.
You were Juhana's love and I was Härde's.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Maybe I'm not so good with feelings
and maybe I was a mess, but take some responsibility!
- You jerked me around for years. - That was 20 years ago.
Regardless. You had a pretty big role in all of this.
In all our lives.
How can you assume to know everything? Listen to me!
- Listen to me for once! - I am listening.
How can you presume to know everything?
- Are you done? - Yes.
It's pretty unreasonable that you want me to take responsibility.
I've been doing that for all of you.
- Listen to yourself! - Do you hear yourself?
Just listen for once!
I don't even know what we're talking about.
- We're talking about principles. - You're being ridiculous.
You were always above everyone else,
but I never realised how cold you are.
I've only wanted the best for all of you.
Can't we forget about this ancient drama
and focus on Mitzi's birthday party.
- Oh, how wonderful! - I never wanted a party!
Not now, not ten years ago. I felt horrible then too.
I just can't be happy in the way you want me to be right now.
So fucking leave me alone.
Are you okay?
No. No, I...
I'm not like that.
This group has the tendency to bring out the worst in people.
Everybody sees me as a movie star.
I have feelings too.
At least they noticed when you left.
Nobody cares if I'm here or not.
No, no. Not at all. You're wonderful.
Sure.
Yeah, you know, I saw, I saw that immediately. You're wonderful.
Prove it.
Kiss me.
It was funny when...
...you called...
...I was about to ask you out.
- Back then. - Seriously?
But then you said I should go out with Mitzi.
And you did.
Because you asked.
Ever thought about making your own decisions?
What do you want in life?
- No... - No.
Why is it so quiet?
What if we're the last people on Earth?
Fuck!
I can't believe we did this. I...
Fuck, I'm so drunk.
This is not me, okay? I'm so sorry.
It was lovely but...
I'm so drunk.
This will be our little secret.
At least we don't have to worry about me getting pregnant.
Fuck, you scared me.
Come with me.
Where are we going?
Over here.
What is this?
I want you to hit me.
Oh god... Fuck this.
- Please hit me. - Stop it. This is ridiculous.
It would make me feel better.
- You haven't done anything - Please, hit me.
What are you going to do?
Oh, fuck...
You feel better now?
No, I don't. It just hurts.
Hi.
Maybe I did it on purpose.
I really don't know...
I just felt like I was...
I love you.
Darling...
You're the dearest thing in the world to me.
You know how I see us?
As old ladies.
As fucking old ladies.
We're sitting on a porch while the world is burning.
We have shotguns and moonshine.
And we're drinking. A lot.
It's just you and me.
- Always together. - That sounds nice.
Good night. Go back inside. I'll sit here for a while.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Good night.
If the baby is born...
...will I feel something?
What have you done?
Fuck, this is tight.
I'm sorry. I don't know...
What?
Babushka from Chernobyl.
What's wrong?
What is it?
You're too perfect for me. Too perfect.
I'm sorry. I try not to.
No, no, no. No. Don't try anything. This is you.
Perfect, perfect.
- Coffee? - Thanks.
- Coffee is ready. - Thanks.
Can I eat this last yoghurt?
Leave it to Mitzi for when she wakes up.
The boat drifted away. Luckily it got stuck in the reeds.
- Ta-dah! - All right. Yes!
- Give it. - Wait.
Wait until we get to the mainland.
Wanna give it a try, Veronika?
- This has to be shut. - Right.
- Bye. - It was nice to see you. Take care.
Let's get going.
Thank you.
You feeling better?
Getting there.
You're a really good driver.
You'd have no problem in L.A.
No problem in L.A.
Does this make any sense?
FIRE IN NUCLEAR PLANT, DANGER AVERTED
Look. The kids fell asleep.
