- Forget the camera! Forget it!

Forget it!

- F***!

F***! Forget it,

understand?

Mother!

- Darling. Everything's ok.

Everything will be ok.

And you'll get treatment.

Let's pack up his things.

Right away.

Get you some excitement.

Someone's finally coming.

I'll move you a bit

so I get the bed made.

You have my number

if anything...

- Yes.

Can he eat without help?

- No.

What about my marriage?

- Not too good.

Good health, though.

You'll get two kids.

What's this smell?

What should they smell like?

Dani!

How's things?

- All right, thanks.

Laura told me

you went to see her.

She asked me to.

Asked about you.

And you told her.

Night.

Sleep in your own room.

Do you hear me?

Dani!

Go and sleep

in your own room.

Get your clothes on

and into your own bed.

Your turn.

- Dani I heard that.

Open the door!

I'll break the door if I must!

You hear?

Get your clothes on immediately!

Dani!

I mean it!

Accounts

Like to have some coffee

with me someday? - No time.

Don't you like coffee?

- Don't like you.

Is the sulky guy your boyfriend?

The pale guy

who comes here to tremble?

Yeah.

Pretty young, isn't he?

Hand down.

- What?

Carefully, hold your hand down.

So you didn't quit after all.

Found an opponent

of the same calibre.

This came for you.

Better go and get it.

Sign here.

Hi! What's up?

- Nothing special.

Where're you heading?

- To the movies.

In the morning?

What're you going to see?

Something.

- Jump in, I'll drive you.

Thanks, I'll walk.

- Don't be a fool...

I'll call you.

May I use your phone?

Are you in a hurry?

- No.

Good morning.

You've shat your pants.

Clean yourself up.

You'll find hot water in the sauna.

Where's Dani?

- I think he went somewhere to study.

Where?

- Some island.

Wanted peace and quiet.

That's what I understood.

He was feeling down some way.

Guess he forgot to tell you.

Where's Grandpa?

So you call him Grandpa. Funny.

I sent him away for a while.

No need for him to see everything.

I tried my best.

I want you to know that.

I'm sorry.

That it didn't work out.

Excuse me.

Hello.

He looks a bit agitated right now

but he'll adjust.

Of course not.

You try to cure that other lunatic,

I'll take care of this one.

Must stop now,

he's heading this way.

Give me my phone.

No phone, no boat.

- F*** you!

This is all for your best.

You're flying home tomorrow.

Plane leaves at three,

be at the airport at one.

You've already packed your pack.

Keep the thirty thousand,

use it to pay for your therapy.

Like I said, I'm sorry.

I can't do any better.

Good night.

Dad.

Why didn't you ever

answer my calls?

I don't remember.

Did you call often?

- Pretty often.

You've got a good reason to be

really disappointed in me.

Well, is the meat sweeter

when blood runs deeper?

Alright. Yes.

Get me out of here right now.

- Wort happen.

We'll be here nice and quiet,

talk and go fishing.

They'll fetch us when your dad has

settled things with your sister.

Don't you jerks realize

this is illegal?

Depends on your point of view.

The f*** do you get out of this?

F***ing fatso.

We've done quite a lot

for your well being.

So reconsider your attitude

if you want to feel comfy.

I have better things to do than

keep horny siblings from f***ing.

Doesrt look like so.

For God's sake. You admit it.

Is this a mother thing,

back to the womb? - Yes.

Don't tell your sister,

might be a letdown. - No.

Although she's quite likely already

found herself company her own age.

Well, you hardly had any plans

to raise a family.

There's stuff for you to read

for at least a week.

I know you got a phone.

Give it to me.

Calm down.

- Give it to me!

I'll give it to you.

Put that knife away and

I'll find that phone for you.

Bring me a rag!

- What?

A rag!

G'day.

Hi.

- Hi!

There's finally light

at the end of the tunnel.

- I see.

So you can come home soon.

Just a couple of things more.

We're in no hurry.

You just...

Take care of things.

- It's done.

You smell good.

- Yes.

Kari is in the

post anaesthesia care

unit with his fingers.

I must go.

Apparently he had some sort of

a cramp while using a sharp knife -

and cut off three of his fingers.

We sewed them back on.

We'll see.

Had to fish one out of his throat.

He'd done the right thing and

put the fingers in his mouth -

but entering hospital,

swallowed one of them.

They're a bit cold.

Dani!

You here?

Yoo-hoo.

Peace! Weapons on the floor.

I'll apologize already. I admit...

Kari's fingers are back on already,

so don't worry about that.

I told them not to hurt you.

I demanded... - Where's Tilda?

I expressly said

you were not to be hurt.

This is for you, too.

Hey! What the f***?

F*** off.

Think she's gone?

- No.

Hello.

Is this the right road?

- Yes.

Laura doesn't want to

come back home.

No need to be sorry.

Good for her.

Now I can breathe.

Want me to wait?

- No.

Should I now give you

some fatherly advice?

Never...

Remember always...

Hello!

Anyone there?

Seen anyone here?

- There was a guy.

Changing summer tires?

Need help?

I can manage.

- Four hands're better than two.

Right. This is how you do it.

Bolts into place.

My eldest son will soon get

his driver's licence.

Thought I'd buy him some wreck

just like my father got me.

For practise. To drive around.

I hope he'll keep his wits about him

and not crash into anything.

But you've got to let go -

trust that he's learned something.

That he'll use his brain.

That's it, then.

- Right.

All the best.

It'll be summer soon.

Get to go to

the cottage.
