Want to come?
Oh come on!
You going to drag me around
like a seeing-eye dog?
I'm stuck here!
My parents got me an assistant
to help me with my "daily life. "
- What daily life? I have no life.
- Of course you do!
Come on, Sebbe! Come out with us
tonight. I'll look after you.
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Cheers!
The best way to get over a girl
is to "get over" another girl.
- Did you get that Sebbe?
- Why don't you sing something?
- What?
- Cheers!
Erik!
Erik! Erik!
Sorry.
Sorry, sorry!
Erik! Erik!
Erik! Erik!
- F***ing drunk. Get out of here!
- You OK?
- He's not drunk, he's blind!
- Sure he is...
What are you laughing at?
You think this is funny?
Get me a cab. Get me a cab!
- At Gmail?
... dot com, yes.
- What's your password?
- donkeyballs84.
No, there's nothing interesting here.
- Invitations to night clubs...
- Delete.
And you've got mail from Oskar
af Strm-de Luca and Pelle Borg.
- They wonder why you never call.
Straight ahead, straight...
You know the way.
You're a meter from the couch.
Watch out for the rug.
Cool!
This is some place you've got.
- Are you bringing the guitar?
- No.
- The amp?
- No.
- You collect watches?
- Nah, I just like them.
You can tell a lot
from a person's watch.
Mine came free with a tank of gas.
That says a lot about me, doesn't it?
I can help you post them on eBay
if you like. They'd be worth a lot.
- Why would I sell my watches?
- Oh, uh... I thought that now...
You want some coffee?
I'll go to 7-Eleven.
Yeah.
I'll be back soon.
- Good morning!
- Hello.
Hi.
I brought my guitar.
- Shall we play?
- Nah, I thought I'd get dressed.
- I think it would be good for you.
- I don't feel like it.
You don't have to see the strings.
It's in your muscle memory.
I have a friend who works
at the music school.
He has this group, they're called...
"Everyone Can" - they're special
needs kids. I've heard them play.
They're wicked!
The keyboardist is deaf.
It's wild - how does he do it?
So I asked if they had an opening
for you, because I thought...
Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry!
Okay, take it easy. Easy!
Okay, take it easy.
Sebastian!
Open up!
Your dad and I
want to help, you know that.
But you have to help us to help you.
- What do you want?
- Is that so hard to understand?
I don't want a f***ing
personal assistant!
Condescending jackasses
who push you around.
Or worse, some fat old lady
to wipe my ass and comb my hair.
- Sebastian, that's enough.
- What do you want us to do?
You have no idea how hard
we're working to help you!
Not to mention the apartment
I'm paying for.
- Which is empty and you won't let...
- It's always about money with you!
It's not about money! I'd give
everything we own to make you well.
But we're lost here.
What do you want from us?
I want my f***ing sight back!
My life back!
Can you do that?
No, you can't!
So there's not much you can do.
- Hello.
- Hi, I'm Mia.
- Come in.
- Thanks
It was a nice walk from the station.
I think spring is finally here.
Yes, it's nice.
- Have you come a long way?
- No, I live in the Hornstull area.
So, Mia, can you tell me
about yourself?
I'm 24, I live
in Hornstull, as I said...
I work three or four evenings a week
in the home help services.
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
And on weekends I work
at hlns department store.
Well, it's every other week, so I can
work the other weekends with...
Sebastian.
- Which department?
- Gloves and hosiery.
I can get you a 25% discount
if you come while I'm working.
Not that you look like you need
a discount on hosiery.
- Do you have any formal training?
- No.
I don't know what I want to do yet,
so I'm just working and saving up.
Saving is good.
What the hell is this?
Have you invested
A bank account.
- I see. What's your interest rate?
- Gran!
What?
As I said on the phone,
Sebastian lost his eyesight
in an accident three months ago,
and it's taking time
for him to adapt.
Since the accident
he's been very angry.
We want to find someone who doesn't
irritate him as much as the others.
Do you understand?
I can't make any promises.
I mean, I've never worked with blind
people before. Did I spit on you?
Don't worry. Why don't you
go out and introduce yourself!
- Now?
- Yes. Take the cookies.
What is it!? I said you don't
have to come here all the time.
Call my cell or just shout
from the kitchen. I'll hear you.
Hi, I'm Mia. Your mom told me
to come and introduce myself.
She did?
She gave me some cookies.
Want some?
No, I don't eat fast carbs.
- You're not going to offer to help?
- Well, I assumed you'd ask.
Cool, a Patek Aquanaut!
Oh, you have a Panerai too!
Two, actually. You like watches?
Yeah. My grandpa had
a watch store in the old town.
He worked there till he died in April
'94. The same day as Kurt Cobain.
Not that they had anything in common.
Except heroin addiction, of course.
Grandpa used to say you can tell
a lot from a person's watch.
He said that?
But he never wore one.
He didn't want to be judged that way.
- Clearing out CDs?
- Looking for a song.
- I don't remember the name or artist.
- That could take time.
How about I read the names and make
"definitely not" and "maybe" piles?
Then you just have to listen
to the maybes.
Okay
So, what have you got?
- Could it be Robbie Williams?
- No.
- Per Gessle?
- No, it's not Swedish.
Engelbert Humperdinck?
You have eclectic taste.
No, it's not Engelbert.
- Oh, Backstreet Boys?
- No, they...
- I've got a Backstreet Boys CD?
- You sound worried!
I'm just kidding, you don't.
Or maybe you do?
No, not Backstreet Boys.
- What are you sighing over?
- Pictures of America.
- I'm saving for a road trip.
- Cool.
I'm going to fly to LA,
buy a car and start driving.
When I get to New York I'll sell
the car and fly back to Sweden.
- The Grand Canyon looks enormous.
- It is pretty big.
- Have you been to America?
- Yeah.
- When?
- A few times. New York with the guys.
Disneyland, Disneyworld. We went
to the Grand Canyon when I was 8-9.
You had just turned 8.
Sebastian screamed
and Sebastian wanted ice cream.
We told him there was no ice cream
in the Grand Canyon, but he kept on.
Finally the guide had us turn back,
saying the donkeys couldn't take it.
"Donkey get nervous!"
Yeah, yeah, donkey get nervous.
Donkeys are very neurotic animals.
- Aren't they?
- It's common knowledge...
- Why don't you two go out?
- We are out.
- Okay... See you later.
- Bye!
Is that bastard back?
- Get it off! Get it off!
- It's gone now, calm down.
I f***ing hate f***ing wasps!
The woman grabs
the man's buttock.
- Want some popcorn?
- No thanks.
He touches her left breast.
And two more! And lateral!
- And five more!
- Stop that, I'm counting!
