A SWEDISH LOVE STORY

That's my youngest boy. The eldest one has a repair shop.

He's doing well. He has five employees.

And he has a son, a crafty kid. 15 years old.

He got a moped when he turned 15. All the kids have to have them.

But that wife of his! She does nothing but water the flowers.

But they can afford it, so why not? You can't...

Wait until the Social Democrats get in. Things will change then!

Let's go to the park, there's more space there.

Lasse! Lasse!

- Not too bad, thanks for asking. - I hope you're better soon.

Thank you.

- Hi, Granddad! - So, you come to visit an old man?

- Where's Dad and the others? - Over there.

Here he is!

Hello!

Turn round! I'm heading over to the bridge.

There's a pastry shop over there. Verner knows it.

Eva, darling...

Don't be sad. There, now...

Hi, Eva. Happy birthday.

Four cheers for Eva!

- Where's Roger? - Here.

- Such a nice family! - Verner has been here before.

Verner has been here before.

Hey, Lasse!

You can take that path down.

Looks like we have some entertainment!

I thought I saw a glimpse of Verner.

Hi, Lasse! Not too bad, thanks.

Hello! Thank you. We can sit down here.

- Granddad can sit there. - I'll take the corner seat.

- Isn't this nice?! - And here are some flowers.

Thank you. I'll let the nurse take care of them.

- Isn't there a waitress? - No, you serve yourself here.

So, what do we want?

- I want coffee. - That sounds good!

- A ham sandwich... - I don't know if they have that.

Damn kid! Are you trying to kill the old man?

Can I have another one?

- Do you want anything, Eva? - No, thanks.

- Do you want coffee? - Not me.

- Seven coffees. - Seven.

Shut up!

Can't you shut that dog up?

Hey! The dog there. Can't you shut it up?

It was my right elbow.

I don't know why you thought it was the left.

But it was my left knee I injured when you were seven.

Pär! Ask if they have an egg and anchovy sandwich!

Pär! Salami is OK, too.

- Don't you want anything? - No thanks.

- Did they have anchovies? - No, only ham.

Here's your little cup.

And get rid of this tray.

- Annika's going to be there, too. - Yes.

Wow! What a flame!

Did you see that flame?

Do I have to climb over the table to get a sandwich?

I guess it won't be Song before you're discharged, Granddad.

I'm not going to be discharged from here. Why would I?

I don't want to leave.

I don't want to leave!

This world isn't made for me.

It's not made for lonely people.

Do you hear me?

This world isn't made for lonely people.

Once I thought it could be... but it isn't!

I thought that life would one day be just as good for everyone...

but that hasn't happened.

Do you hear me?

- Don't run anyone over! - Watch out, then.

Am I doing all right? More?

There are 200,000 birds in this town.

And I only know seven.

- Get a move on then! - You just have to be tough.

Cheers.

I wanted to be an airline stewardess.

The first time, they said they'd get back to me.

Then a friend of mine said, "You're too tall."

And I never heard from them.

The next year, I got ill when they were having entry examinations.

By the time I got better, the classes had started and it was too late.

The next year, the same friend said, "You could take a guide class.

"It's almost the same thing."

So I did.

I got there, and the instructor said, "Do you speak English?"

A dark-skinned man with dark glasses.

There was a ceiling fan blowing.

"Sure," I said. "I know a little English and a little German."

I was awfully nervous.

There were a bunch of other girls there who were just as nervous.

He had us turn this way and that.

They said they'd get back to us, but I never heard from them.

Sometimes I feel panicky because I'm not married.

When I see my old school friends with prams. I feel like...

people are staring at me.

- Does an Annika live here? - Yes, why?

Hey! She lives here!

Clear off.

I certainty don't have such terrible aim!

I want to know more about the striker.

- Can you help with this door? - Coming.

- Strikers are good for scoring goals. - Aren't they all?

- Geneva v Marseille. - Away win!

They're in the wrong place.

Take that one, we’ll swap them round.

- Frem Copenhagen v Groningen? - Home win!

- SV Fürth v Wiener SK? - Draw!

- Shouldn’t they hang the other way? - No.

Let go. Now!

They swing a little unevenly.

That's what happens when you waste your free time on it.

If we'd won the Lottery,

we wouldn’t be hanging up this old crap!

GunhiId, this was your idea. What do you want this crap for?

It doesn't serve any purpose.

And you didn't lift a finger!

I don't like the Iook of them.

No...

Come on.

- Hi. - Hi.

- The ballon burst. - Aww...

- How are you? - Fine. You?

OK.

- I think he's tired now. - It's almost time for his nap.

- Hi. - Hi.

Roger's balloon burst coming up the stairs.

How are you?

Just fine.

- How about you? - OK.

- Are you beating the dog? - Don't get hysterical again!

- Are you moving in? - Shut up!

- Annika, hurry up! - Come home early or I won't sleep.

- Those kids will ruin that car. - Go and stop them.

- I don't care about the car. - Really?

- Hi, Iceman. What do you drive? - A Peugeot, why?

- They're terrible. How's work? - Fine.

Wrong business.

If you want to drive a dented car, fine!

Annika! This place is a morgue...

What's that on your neck? A lovebite?

- Where are you going? - The Domino.

- You like dancing? - Yeah.

- Who are you meeting there? - Lotta.

- Aren't you meeting a boy? - Yeah.

- Anyone special? - No.

I wanted to. I don't know why I didn't.

Everyone says that. Me too.

I was there an hour, waiting for him.

But when he came, I didn't talk to him.

And when he came towards me, I turned away.

Then he left.

Too bad.

"Fortunately, your problem isn't unusual. We all do things we regret.

"Ask yourself what you want, and do it.

"Then you’ll know if you're unhappy for a reason."

- That's just the way it is. - Maybe...

Too bad you didn't talk to him.

- It just didn't happen. - Say you don't get another chance?

What do you want me to tell her?

I want to talk to her, I just can't.

Tell him I wanted to say hi, but...

didn't.

I don't want to admit it. It feels silly.

Why not?

I don't want to admit that I...

- I'll tell her. - No!

No!

- You live up there? - Yes, but on the courtyard side.

Is Pär here?

Pär! You have a visitor!

- That's not on. - What?

- Bumping into people like that. - Like what?

You hit my knee. And you're making trouble.

Knock it off.

Where can I buy cigarettes?

Annika.

In the room behind me, your mother is lying...

..destitute.

And I'm a bastard.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Where have you been? - Out.

I don't feel too happy.

I'm sure it’ll be better when we get a new flat.

Go to bed now.

I'm going to get that bastard.

You all just stood there watching!

And her...

I don't give a shit about her!

How can I go out with her now?

I can't take it!

You just watched!
