A Nearly Normal Family (En helt vanlig familj)

Sounds like you have quite a complicated relationship

with both your parents.

Stella?

Has it always been that way?

How do you think it might've been if they'd reacted differently?

You might need this.

Hi.

No, no. I'll get it. I'll get it. It's all right.

Oh, I hope you have lots of fun, darling.

And be sure to drink a lot.

- It's gonna be hot this week. - Yeah, yeah. I will, I promise.

- Bye. - Gonna miss you.

- Mm. - Love you.

- Score loads, my superstar girl. - Bye.

- Yeah. - Pass to Amina.

- Yeah. - Hey!

Bye, love.

Love you!

See ya! Hey.

- Hi! - Yeah!

Hi!

- Amina! - Hello!

Hey! You excited? Yeah!

- Give that here. - I'm so excited. It's gonna be so good!

Brought my iPad, so we can watch horror films.

And I've brought tons and tons of sweets.

Who is that?

He's so cute!

Robin Kjellander, he's new.

He's on the A-side.

He's the assistant coach, you know.

- I gotta go and talk to him. - What you gonna say?

This one's mine...

- You up top? - Yep.

Okay.

Come on, girls. Speed up!

Good, good, good, good, good. That's it. Pass it now.

Use the space.

Pass it, Amina! Pass it!

Use the space.

Behind.

- Go on, Melissa! - Good!

- To me! - Yes, yes. That's good.

- Oof! - Nice, Stella!

Great. Great pass, Amina.

- Nice one! - You got it!

- Thought we were going swimming. - Aah!

- Swimming? - Yeah.

No way! Not again.

- Why not? - I felt sick afterwards yesterday.

Did you feel the ground there? Disgusting!

- It's so disgusting. - You don't have to dig your feet into it.

Shall I waddle around just like a duck in there? Nah.

Can't we just chill instead? I wanna finish the movie!

Hi.

Hi.

You played well.

Good shots. Awareness.

- Thanks. - Good work.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

I was thinking I'd go for a swim.

Okay.

Wanna join me?

Uh...

Just with you?

Yeah.

- Hello, Stella? - Yeah?

- Where are you going? - Swimming.

With Robin.

- Whoo! Ah! - Gotta keep moving!

Ooh! Oh!

Ah! Cold!

- Ah. - Good fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cold.

Yeah!

Yeah, come on!

Jump!

Come.

Come.

Robin, we...

Wait.

Hold on.

No, Robin, wait.

Oh.

Uh, hold on...

Uh, Robin, I don't want to.

- What... what are you doing in there? - We're not doing anything.

What are you doing? This is a private boathouse!

Get out of here! Go on!

- What? - Dirty bugger!

I don't know what to say, Stella.

You are 15.15!

- Didn't mean to. - "Didn't mean to"?

He just wouldn't stop.

Even though I didn't want to.

Just carried on.

Huh?

You didn't want to?

You tell him that? You didn't want to?

And he just carried on?

Yeah...

Stella.

This kinda thing is really serious.

Is it true?

Yeah.

So I'm going to push down a little bit now,

but you shouldn't feel any pain.

Relax...

- Oh, sweetheart. - Yes. That's it, Stella.

- It's all right. You're doing so well. - It's nearly over.

You could see that she was red. Her thighs were red.

And I can see that you've made no mention of that.

But there were no marks on the skin.

- I saw! - It's very... We're talk-...

- Are you saying that it is not? - Not at all.

You said it yourself when we were in there

that you noticed a reddened area.

That she was red.

But now you aren't saying anything.

I'm not that sure, but...

Well, I don't understand.

Stella?

You must tell me everything. It's vital.

What happened?

I didn't want to, but

he just kept on going.

Did you tell him to stop? What... what did you say?

I said I wanted him to stop...

Good. So, how...

how did you say it?

Did you say, "No, I don't want to"? Did you try to push him away?

- No. - No.

So, you did nothing, Stella?

I, uh... I did...

Okay.

So, d'you make it clear?

Robin could have misunderstood

or thought you were saying something else, Stella.

- No. Uh, I... I don't know. - Okay.

- Ulrika, please... - I don't know.

Wait in the kitchen. I won't be long.

Mm.

So...

Now you must get some sleep, all right?

That's it.

Listen to what I'm saying, will you?

We must report this to the police!

Yeah, I am listening,

but her examination found no evidence that she'd been assaulted, Adam.

- But... - Do you honestly think-...

If I... were handling this case,

I wouldn't think of taking it further.

Even though it's the truth, darling,

we will fucking lose this in a court of law,

believe me.

So, we just forget about it all? Is that it?

- We have to do what is right. - Right for who?

Right for us all. Right!

Darling, we... we're on the same side.

But this isn't about morality. It's a matter of law.

If we report this,

Stella will be questioned.8

First by police.

"Who kissed who," Adam, and "Who undressed who?"

Everyone will pick a side.

And Stella, I guarantee, will be the one who is blamed in the end.

And then, even worse.

it won't even end up going to court 'cause there are no witnesses.

So... what... what are you saying?

What is most vital?

That we protect our Stella

from more trauma

or we start a prosecution that we'll surely lose in the end?

So, we... we just let it go?

So, we pretend somehow that nothing went on?

- Do... do... do... do you believe her or not? - Of course, I believe her.

It's not about what you and I know.

In court, what you can prove is the only thing that wins.

I'm sorry...

I'm a lawyer, Adam.

You have to trust me on this.

I see these kinds of cases all the time.

We must be in agreement on this, my love.

Okay.

Okay, we'll take care of it ourselves.

We won't go to the police.

Stella.

Stella?

4 YEARS LATER

A NEARLY NORMAL FAMILY

THE DAUGHTER

There's a match tomorrow, and I need to take it easy tonight.

No, no. Listen, no, Amina,

This evening you are all mine.

You don't have to end up blind drunk or fingered in some smelly toilet.

But it's my birthday, for God's sake.

Yeah, okay.
