Give me work!
Of war and loss you were aware, Earth tremors from the bloodshed.
Why did you not prepare?
Children died without a home a piece of bread was bought with gold.
Why did you not prepare?
The time of grace is over now for Jesus came and you were left behind.
Two are sleeping in their bed, when one awakens the other one is dead.
Why did you not prepare?
Two are walking side by side, one taken up, one left behind.
Why did you not prepare?
The time of grace is over now, for Jesus came and you were left behind.
Of war and loss you were aware, Earth tremors from the bloodshed.
Why did you not prepare?
How many candles should I put? - I don’t know, just light'em.
Are you sure that’s a good idea?
Of course, it was one of those last minute offers. Trips like this usually cost a fortune.
Where do you keep the painkillers?
But did the children agree to staying?
They weren’t against it per se.
And in any case this is about something else.
I'm talking about a real childhood.
A childhood like the one you and I had.
You have no idea how hard it is to keep them away from their phones in the city.
It’s like they’re under a spell!
“Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You,
Happy Birthday, Dear Mom/Helju Happy Birthday to You!”
and congratulations to Mihkel for finally quitting his job!
Make a wish!
Country folk are so nice, I feel good about the kids staying.
There's nothing else we can do. It's time to man up! Or woman up!
“From flower to flower he flies, Towards the beehive he strives,
While thundering clouds arise, Towards the beehive he flies..."
No further than here!
Have you all lost your mind?
This here is an ancestral grove, a sacred place.
It’s like church, but in the forest.
You wouldn’t go take down a church, would you?
So fuck off, this is my land!
And second, there’s no point for you to do this now -
unless you want to break the blades. We put nails in the tree trunks!
You damned green terrorists!
You're taking away an honest man’s livelihood.
Old classmate, if you want an honest living,
Do you think my bank loan will take a break, too?
It won’t!
I lose 200 euros every minute!
Do you understand?
200 euros! Jesus Christ!
Let’s do that header photo now?
Victory!
You don’t know what it’s like when somebody just takes your phone away.
And if I don’t upload new content I might as well be dead!
You don’t have to stare at your phones all the time.
There are so many things to do in the world.
I doubt there’s anything to do in the countryside.
The berries need to be picked.
The apples need to be raked.
The firewood needs to be chopped.
These are Grandpa Helmut’s things, they should be sorted out.
The grass needs to be cut with this scythe.
I want to cut the grass! - Go ahead.
What else needs to be done? - All the grass needs to be cut!
Maybe Mia should do it?
Can we feed the chickens?
Well alright, let’s feed the chickens.
This, my dear children,
is the world’s best fertilizer.
And when you have the world’s best fertilizer,
then everything else is the best as well.
You have the world’s best potatoes, the world’s best carrots,
the best turnips, the best cabbages, the best crops, the best vegetables,
everything is the best!
What's with the smell?
This fertilizer is chicken shit.
Eww!
Do you want a clothes’ peg on your nose?
Sorry I don’t like shit!
I've had enough for one day.
Well of course, we’ve done so much, haven’t we?
A whole ten minutes worth.
Oh you city kids...
What's with all this work anyway?
Why can’t we just be?
Because people can’t survive if they don’t eat
and in order to eat, one must work.
Such are the rules of this world whether you like it or not.
You're retired,
why don’t you just get your food from the store
like the old people who live in the city?
Dear child, I can’t afford that,
because I need to save up.
Why do you need money?
You have chicken shit and the world’s best of everything.
Roast!
I'm saving up for my funeral.
"A Modern Day Mutiny: The War on Facebook"
All i need is your signature! My kids will die of hunger...
But those devils are singing and crying as if the trees were alive!
The trees are alive.
What?
What do you want?
I'm actually on vacation right now.
A signature
for the cutting permit.
Which cutting permit?
I don’t want my children to die of hunger.
My harvester...
Thank you!
Wait!
Give this to your kids.
You are a good person, mister governor.
You get my vote every single time.
Knock-knock, may we enter?
He is a wonderful person.
Our parish is very lucky to have him.
I see you are still beloved.
Not by everyone.
All of these years in power, one difficult decision after the other.
But has anyone ever zoomed in on the details?
Has anyone ever noticed all of the good that I've done for this parish?
Now there’s this stupid Facebook where every moron can have an opinion.
And I have to report to these people?
Where has this come to? Heaven help me!
Calm them down!
You know how to do it all too well.
I will not go on Facebook nor start sharing cat videos!
I have better things to do, like rest on my vacation.
And that toilet paper needs to be shut down
or we need to replace the editor.
Hold your horses!
We have an alliance,
you're in the coalition, I'm in the opposition,
I pull, you push.
So just handle the situation. - How?
Just look at this dump!
The ceiling will crumble on the land management department.
So, all of these boxes are going to the library.
You do not enter the governor's office without knocking!
The rest of the offices have already been cleared.
Go have some coffee!
Out-out-out!
What are you doing?
Where the fuck are you sitting?
This is the governor's chair!
Why can't we just tell them to fuck off like we did with the council of village elders?
It’s just a lack of Kinderstube.
They’re snowflakes with no respect for authority.
But authority needs to be respected!
Why don’t you figure out what these people want.
Maybe it’s as simple as a playground for kids or a bicycle road.
Get to the bottom of it!
So pull yourself together! Authority...
"Donor Day! Give Blood! Concert to save the sacred forest"
Bologna, a soup bone and chaff bread.
There you go. - Thank you!
No need for a receipt. - I.46.
Oh, I brought exact change.
Thank you. - You're welcome.
Good bye! - Let's go.
She did the dab?
He did the tailwhip?
Go on, say hello!
Don’t stay out too long. Dinner time is soon.
So basically one of my classmates has more subscribers than I do,
but my videos have way more likes than hers.
It’s a real bummer that our parents took off with our phones.
I bet my subscribers are panicking.
But why do you smell like shit?
Oh... we do, don’t we...
It’s because we helped Grandma clean the chicken coup.
She has so many chores!
To sum it up, our summer is ruined.
That sucks. We can’t use our phones either, Dad just confiscated them.
He said we have to spend the rest of the summer outside,
even though he himself is on his phone all the time.
Is there anything to do here that doesn’t require the internet?
Well...
This is the crossroad! We turn right, you go straight.
OK. - We had to go to dinner!
Oh yeah! Bye!
Hey, I remembered something!
There’s internet in the library and they have two computers.
One is a bit old and run down, but we can use it for YouTube.
You know these guys? - Me? No.
Why are they waving? - I don’t know. I thought they knew you.
No way.
How long is this going to take? - I don’t know.
We could have been in Turkey by now.
Greetings! - Hello!
How long will all this last?
This is going to last forever,
But the phones are going to be in the box for a few days.
Why?
In the interest of everything.
Let’s switch them off as well.
Oh fuck, I took the kids’ phones with me!
But August was born ten minutes later
and by then it was August already.
Do you get it? They’re twins, but they’re born in different months!
So cool!
