if you want.

It's on my way home.

But I'm going right now.

You need a bike.

Where am I gonna get a bike?

20 kroner.

F***ing socialists.

It's in here.

Okay, um...

what is the name?

Rasmussen.

Rasmussen.

Yeah. It's here.

First floor,

door on the right side.

Could you come in with me,

please?

Don't eat that sh*t, man.

It has been there for years.

This... This letter is for you.

It's from my father.

He's your father's uncle.

Do... Do you know

where my grandfather is?

What? What's he saying?

Your grandfather was a Nazi.

What the f***

are you talking about?

Good. You deserved that.

What? I'm just translating

for that demented f***.

They took the pictures

and sent them

to your grandfather in jail.

What? What's he saying?

They beat your grandmother

for being with a Nazi.

They shaved her head

and spit in her face.

What? What's he saying?

You can keep them.

Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

How would I find

my grandfather if he's alive?

I don't know. Google?

Wait. Where you going?

Home.

Thank you!

You're still here.

He's smiling.

Happy.

I never saw him smile

in my entire life.

So your father never told you

anything about your grandfather?

No.

Can you ask him?

He died last year.

I never met my real father.

Left before I was born.

My father left when I was 14.

When he died last year, alone,

I was going through his things,

and I found this letter

he never sent.

He wrote it when he was eight.

What does it say?

I don't know.

You tell me.

- You haven't read it yet?

- No.

It's very nice.

Um, it says that

he's missing Copenhagen,

and that it will

always be his home.

And that when he gets a family,

he wants them to see

what made him smile.

I know this.

It's Tivoli.

- Mark it on the map.

- Why?

Just do it.

All right.

Where's Tivoli on the map?

It's where it says "Tivoli."

The little mermaid...

What are you doing?

Have to see what made him smile.

Let's go.

Tivoli first.

Hey, Jer, it's me.

F*** you.

I didn't mean that.

Look, if you get this,

can you call me at, um...

45-87...

89-39.

All right, f*** you.

I forgive you.

Seriously, call me, man.

All right.

Okay, we have to go over here.

Castle's over here.

Okay, go over there

and see what he saw.

What do you see?

A bunch of annoying kids.

Okay, I'm going to

take the picture now.

You one of those people?

Do you mean this?

It's cool.

Okay, smile like your father.

Is this what we're

gonna do all day?

You don't like Tivoli?

It's boring. It's for kids.

I can show you Sweden

if you want.

That's not boring.

Sh*t. I need to get off this

right now.

God. God.

- Look, that's Sweden.

- What?

I told you I would show you

Sweden. That's Sweden.

Sweden is on the other side

of the water.

I don't wanna open my eyes.

You can't have your eyes closed.

Open them.

I hate you.

F***. F***.

What's happening?

F***.

F***. Okay.

- It's beautiful, right?

- Sure.

- That bridge goes to Sweden.

- What's happening?

What was that?

Has it stopped?

Jesus! F*** yeah!

God!

No, no, no.

Make it stop!

Whoo! God.

That was fun, right?

Mange tak.

What else?

How do you say,

"What's your name?"

Yeah, perfect.

Something's written here. Look.

It's very faded though.

I think this is where

your father was born.

- What?

- It's on Vaernademsvej.

- Let me see.

- I know where it is.

Hey, we can go and check if your

grandfather still lives there.

Chances of that are zero.

Yeah, but we can check.

Maybe he does.

Then you can give him

the letter.

Let's... Let's go.

Sit down.

What are you doing?

Wh-Where are you going?

- Let's try this.

- What?

Go to the door.

You know...

this would be a lot more fun if

you were the other way around.

Got it.

Look.

What are you...

Are you insane?

These people

are not related to me.

- Don't be a racist.

- I'm out of here.

No, wait.

I think this is

where the stove was.

Who's Daniel?

That was my father's name.

- Was his last name Vinter?

- No.

Okay.

That's my father's birthday.

Whoa.

Okay, all right.

Let's go right now.

No! We need to take a picture.

Just stand where he is

in the photo.

No!

I'm not leaving

without the photo,

so if you want me to get caught,

you can just go.

All right, come on.

Okay, smile.

- That was stupid.

- You're boring.

We broke into someone's place.

We didn't break anything.

You can apologize

if you want to.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi, hi.

Okay, so your father

was born Vinter.

Vinter wasn't my father's

last name, okay?

But then it must be

your grandfather's.

You know, we can

actually find out.

My uncle, he works at

the People's Registry.

He can look it up.

Then we can find

your grandfather,

and you can give him the letter.

All right. All right.

Good, let's go.

That's hard.

F***! That does it.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

Swap... Stop, stop.

Switch bikes.

Ha ha! See?

I'd say...

I don't think I've ever been in love.

I said it.

There you go.

I said it.

I said it!

Of course you've been in love.

F***.

What? What is it?

My chain fell off.

Hold on.

Got it!

Then the music started,

and then I fainted.

I don't know why.

Really, I wasn't nervous.

And you know...

Well, like... voom!

Yeah, and...

Like smack!

Yeah, on the stomach, right?

Like down.

And you know,

I don't know if you know it,

but when you faint,

your body like stops working.

No, I've seen a lot of girls faint.

Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

So...

I sh*t my pants.

And everyone saw it.

No, wait, wait.

I gotta stop.

You literally evacuated

your bowels?

Yeah.

- Hello?

- Hi.

Okay, he's on a break,

but he'll be back soon.

Do you want me to show you

something really cool?

Come.

Wait. Don't we have to pay?

No. Art is for the people.

Come.

How old are you?

My real age is actually 345.

I'm just trapped in this young body.

Right.

I'm a vampire.

I feed off rats and tourists.

Well, you can start

by sucking my neck

before moving on to...

If I was a vampire, you'd be dead.

Look.

All right.

I love this.

Venus.

She's beautiful.

A little short.

Nice tits.

We're almost there.

All right.

What do you think?

How is that possible?

I told you.

I'm a vampire.

No, you said you were 345.

Seriously, this is

thousands of years old.

Well, I lied about my age.

I never showed this

to anyone before.

Close your eyes.

Close them.

Okay.

Yeah, bye-bye.

Bye.

My uncle's back.

So, um, Eva tells me

that you are her friend's cousin

from America.

- Canada, actually.

- Yeah.

Toronto.

Canada is not America.

Right.

North America, I guess.

Mexico is America then, as well.

Anyways, there were 165 children

born in Denmark

on January 15, 1944.

Is any of them called

Daniel Rasmussen?

No, there's no record

of a Daniel Rasmussen.

What about Daniel Vinter?

- Vinter?

- Yeah.

Yeah, but you needed Rasmussen.

Rasmussen, right, yeah.

First Rasmussen, then Vinter.

Vinter.

Daniel Vinter.

Yes, there is a Daniel Vinter

born that day.

Is there any way to check that
