Ego Page #5

Synopsis: For 25-year-old Sebastian it is all about surface and appearance. Life is full of party, money and one-night stands. He has never challenged himself, whether it be his dream of a music career or maybe, especially true love. When everything is at its best in his superficial life he has an accident that leads to him becoming blind. A whole world closes, or rather opens up. When he sees everything in black, he meets Mia, a personal assistant. A girl he normally would not pay any attention to. She becomes the first to successfully open his eyes to what is important in life. But when Sebastian discovers that Mia is not who he expected superficiality gets an entirely different meaning. EGO is a romantic comedy drama about vanity, love, sex, and that things are not always as they seems.

Strhle and her dogs Mini and Bobo!

Dancing dogs may have been

entertaining before TV and X-boxes...

- Watch it!

- Look where you're going!

No freak show act will win.

Forget them.

- So the acrobat girls?

- They're out.

- But their acrobatic skills could...

- They're at least 40!

- Sebbe! We voted for you!

- We want you to win!

- Can we have your autograph?

- What are your names?

Whoa... Johanna, Elin, Irma?

Stand straight!

Thank you, dear.

- So that's your friend?

- More an acquaintance.

He must be the most handsome man

I've ever seen!

Unfortunately, he thinks so too.

- I say no.

- That's a no.

- That was embarrassing.

- And I'd like to say no.

I hope you vote for this group!

That was great!

- Sure, I can sing at your place.

- Oh, please do!

I have a flight to LA

via London on the 19th.

- It leaves at 6: 15 AM, is that OK?

- I'll check.

- Is it okay?

- Oh, I just...

I... no... You know what,

I don't think I'm ready to book yet.

- What do you think?

- I think you should go!

Yes, you're right. Book it!

One, two, three, four

and one, two, three.

- Together, and "Baby" and...

- I'm sorry... this doesn't feel...

The steps, "Baby"...

I can't even see the camera!

It's okay, honey, that's why we

rehearse with the cameraman.

You do your thing and let him work on

staying out of the way. From the top!

With his unique version of

the Marina and the Diamonds song,

Sebastian Silverberg

with I Am Not a Robot!

Those are his parents!

They're so sweet!

Tell me when you see his friends.

- Has he stopped calling?

- No, he's called a few times.

- What did he say?

- I haven't answered.

Quiet!

- He's a partier - is he hung over?

- No, that's not it.

Keep it going!

My god...

Good work!

As usual, we start with the judges.

Lars, over to you!

- Are you still in the running?

- Just barely.

- Tell me when you see my hand.

- Now.

- I'll call the doctor. We'll go...

- I've already seen him.

They're doing all they can.

- Sebastian!

- Sebastian, can I get a picture?

What happened last week, Sebastian?

Do you feel ready for tomorrow?

That was fine.

- How is Sebastian's vision?

- He says it comes and goes.

- Will he tell the truth?

- I don't know.

He doesn't want it

to come out until after the final.

He's afraid it will

affect the voting.

- How are you?

- I'm okay. It's harder for Gran.

It's hard to see

his son hurting, after...

- Sebastian told me about Theo.

- He did?

He hardly ever talks about him. It's

great that he's begun to open up.

You've done wonders for him!

Sh*t!

Accept it, you're useless.

You'll never beat my high score.

That was a great melody.

Nice lyrics.

- Is it about anyone special?

- You, of course! Gimme that.

- Can you see well enough to play?

- Well enough to beat you!

Hi, it's Sebastian.

Leave a message after the sound.

Hello, this is Walter Bergman

from the evening news.

We've learned that you're losing

your sight after a brain hemorrhage.

The story will be on the front page.

Call me if you have any comments.

My number is 08...

Hi Sebastian, this is Stina

from Gossip magazine. Would you...

Hello.

- Hello, hi... how are you?

- Fine.

- I didn't expect you to answer.

- I know...

Look, I know I owe you a massive

apology for the last time we met.

I acted like a total ass.

I'm really, really sorry.

- Hmm, so how are you?

- Pretty good. I...

I'm okay.

Can you believe the record label

wants me back!

- Really? Will you sign with them?

- Nah.

I think I'll wait for an indie label

that lets me write my own stuff.

Aren't you going to sing any

of your own songs on the show?

I could, but I don't know.

Time has just flown by and...

- Not everyone is as brave as you.

- Brave? I don't know about that.

- Do you want to come tonight?

- To the final?

- Well, I'm leaving in the morning...

- Yeah? Wow!

- To America?

... and I'm still packing, so...

I can ask them to reserve a seat

for you in case you change your mind.

Okay...

I'll let you go now.

I hope your road trip is awesome.

- That it's everything you hoped.

- Thanks.

- Well, bon voyage.

- Bye.

"Bon voyage"?

After ten exciting weeks

following ten unique talents,

hand-picked from thousands of

applicants, it's time for the final.

- 30 minutes, Sebastian.

- Sure...

- Do you need anything?

- No, I'm fine.

Wait - there is something

I could use some help with.

I will! Maybe not right when I land,

but after a few days.

Hi, Mom. Yeah, he told me.

Can I call you back?

- What are you doing here?

I had to see you. I didn't want you

to leave without a proper goodbye.

Well... Bye then.

I have to finish packing.

So I can go "get a life", right?

- And you need to get back!

- But...

I'm so sorry for how I treated you.

Seeing you after the operation...

...reminded me of the accident

and how terrible I felt then.

I mean... when I got to know you

in all that time we spent together,

You made me feel things...

You know, things

I'd never felt before.

Like... before I met you,

I felt like a Swatch on the inside,

but like a Patek Philippe

on the outside.

- You're talking about watches now?

- I mean...

My lyrics! You know how they were,

but you made me feel the opposite.

More like Coldplay

than Lady Gaga, you know?

You made me feel...

You make me feel like...

Instead of:

That's what I wanted to say.

And also... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Come on, let's go to the final.

- Screw the final.

Hello and welcome

to the grand final!

A big hand for the hip hop

dance group Rhythmic Soul Crew.

- Sh*t...

- Where the hell have you been?!

Take a seat in the front there.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

- God, I'm still in my pajamas!

- You're so embarrassing!

Go!

Let's hear it for the gravity-defying

dancers of Rhythmic Soul Crew!

It's time to introduce the man

who's made big headlines this week.

Let's give a big hand

for Sebastian Silverberg!

- Hi, Sebastian.

- Hi.

I love you, Sebbe!

- How are you?

- I have major butterflies right now!

I'll bet. Before you perform,

I thought I'd give you the chance

to comment on all the rumors

circulating the past few weeks.

Okay, uh...

It's true, I'm losing my sight.

My journey hasn't been all that easy

this past year.

But I guess, even if...

even if you face tough times,

you just have to take a chance

and try your best.

That's what helps you write

interesting lyrics, right?

It gives me great pleasure

to present,

for the first time with one of his

own songs, Sebastian Silverberg!

I'd like to dedicate this song to

those who are starting new journeys.

And tonight I can see.

Tonight I can see everything.
