Dip it in egg and coat it in flour.

Thanks.

- Let me help you.

- You don't need to.

Kim, really.

You've hardly beaten your egg.

Beat it briskly.

- It's not like you to be lazy.

- Kim is thinking about my mom, too.

We're all affected by it.

Let's hope she is dead. I heard about

a woman who woke up in the coffin.

Jan!

Get Keld the janitor.

Let's push her to the office.

He's called Janitor Keld.

I'm not attending your mom's funeral.

My dad is.

He was on the school board with her.

The rest of us don't want to impose.

Martin, cut it out.

Cut it out.

How old are you again?

Maja stergaard is dead.

I said it in the church,

and I have to repeat it to believe it.

Maja stergaard is dead.

Martin, are you okay?

When faced with grief and despair

such as this, we fall strangely silent.

We're heart-stricken -

- to have

such a loving person torn away.

And in her prime, too.

Now it's up to us to lend meaning

to the meaningless.

By... rallying round the bereaved.

By giving them a little of our love -

- help and support.

Encouragement.

What if she isn't dead?

What if she isn't dead?

- Martin!

- Maybe she isn't dead!

She isn't dead!

Let go!

- She isn't dead!

- Come here, Martin.

Maybe she isn't dead!

Let go of me!

Let go of me! I mean it!

She isn't dead!

She isn't dead!

Come here.

- Let go of me, Christian!

- Martin, your mom is dead.

No, she isn't!

Maja stergaard.

Ashes to ashes...

- She isn't dead!

- Martin!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Excuse me.

- There now.

- Breathe, Martin.

I've got him.

Easy now.

Martin.

How about a cup of tea?

- We haven't got time for that.

- Dear Martin, take it easy.

We'll join the others soon,

but I want you to settle down first.

- Or don't you drink tea?

- Yes, at Kristine's.

Come here.

At our house

I'm the only tea drinker.

Jrn wants his coffee.

And I think I'm the only tea drinker

at the department store.

So, Kristine...

Is that a girl you like?

Martin.

Martin, wait.

Thank you all for coming...

Good, Martin.

Come and sit down.

Okay, buddy.

Thanks, Christian.

And now I'd like -

- for us all to sing

Maja's favorite song.

Suddenly I don't remember

the name of the song.

Why don't I remember it?

She thought it was

such a beautiful song.

- Lizzie, help me out.

- Dear Hans, it's...

Hell, you don't know either!

I don't remember either now.

I'm really sorry.

- Don't be upset that you forgot.

- Thanks, Mona.

It's right on the tip of my tongue.

Martin, do you remember?

Silent heart

sun is setting

Sun sets o'er the moor

Animals go home

from the fields

The stork stands

in the nest

Silent

silent heart

Sun is setting

Silence o'er the moor path

And along

the winding roads

A belated humblebee

Buzzing all alone

Silent

silent heart

- Hans has got such a lovely voice.

- And you've got a lovely butt.

Damn!

Rolf... get a grip.

You're gorgeous, Anne- Marie. You

deserve me, not that wuss of yours.

Stop it, Rolf Blix.

This is Maja's funeral.

- Shame on you.

- You hot little...

Rolf, go home.

You're too drunk to be here.

Those who are out of line

have to go home.

Take it easy, Martin.

I'm just having fun with Anne- Marie.

Go!

Get out!

- Dad, help me, please.

- Martin...

Sure.

Martin is right.

This is no way to behave at their

mother's and my wife's funeral.

- Keep your paws off my wife.

- Now you man up.

I could get your wife pregnant four

times before you could spell cuckold.

- Come on then!

- I won't stand for this!

Alright, alright!

I'm going.

Let go!

You saw how Hans didn't shed a tear.

He already found someone else,

and I know who.

- Did you see her?

- Magda!

Why bury Maja here?

He already forgot her.

- There's no one else. He has cried.

- You see?

You're too young to understand.

Martin's about to be confirmed.

He understands more than you know.

Now the boys have somewhere to go.

MOM:

GRANDMA:

I put clean sheets on your bed.

Coming?

No.

I'd better seat Grandma next to me

at my confirmation.

You're a hell of a lot more mature

than she is.

She says you already found

someone else.

What do I always say about Grandma?

She talks before she thinks.

Is anybody here?

Hi, Martin.

- The door was open, so...

- Hi.

- You nearly jumped into the grave?

- Where did you hear that?

The whole town.

I'm kidding.

But I'm glad you weren't afraid

to show your grief.

- I just wanted you to know that.

- Thanks, Kristine.

Want to walk me to school?

Can I have a kiss?

Martin, they only just put

your mother in the ground.

Sure.

But you're doing good, Martin.

We're almost there.

Okay, a hug then.

But no tongue.

- Aren't you going to get it?

- My dad will get it in his office.

- I can't concentrate.

- No.

- Snder Omme Electrics.

- It's Mona from Solbakken.

- Hi, Mona.

- Is your dad in?

See you.

- Hello?

- No, he isn't in.

- Martin?

- What?

Could you ask him to call me?

- Yes.

- Good morning.

- Martin, wasn't that your dad?

- Hang on.

- It's Mona the hairdresser.

- Hi, Mona.

You're welcome.

We thought it went well, too.

Sure, we'll fix it.

No, don't worry about it.

No, life goes on,

and you can't do without your fridge.

I'll send a man round...

Well, if you want me to come,

naturally I'll come.

Great, boys.

Keep your feet down.

Well done.

Speed it up, Martin.

Frequency! And the rest

of you slowpokes, catch up!

Come on!

Come on, boys!

Alright, Martin!

Alright, boys.

Well done, Martin.

Martin, have you got a minute?

If you win the Snder Omme March,

you can go on to become -

- the champion in your age group,

if you're willing to commit yourself.

Sometimes you dawdle to walk

with Kim, but he's no match for you.

I forgot my towel.

What's up?

What do you want?

Let's do that thing again,

only more.

Not here, Martin.

Let's do it tonight.

Shouldn't you focus

on Kristine Hjort?

We aren't going out yet,

so let's practice first.

Tell her you won the race, and you'll

be going out in no time. It works.

- What does "confirmation" mean?

- To say yes.

- To what do we say yes? Group 1?

- To God.

- To what do we say no, Group 2?

- To the Devil.

And how do we do that,

Group 1 and 2?

- With the creed.

- It kills four birds with one stone.

We say no to the Devil,

we confirm our faith in God -

- in the Ten Commandments and

the Double Commandment of Love.

How does that go?

Lina.

You shall love your God

with all your heart, soul and might -

- and you shall love your neighbor

as yourself.

Can anybody tell us

how we rid ourselves of our sins?

- We ask God for forgiveness.

- Yes, Martin.

That is why at your confirmation

you confirm your faith in God.

God confirms you are his children -

- so you won't have

to carry your sins alone.

God helps you.

Hi.

Martin.

- Oh, you're not living offfast food?

- We like it.

I should have made you a steak,

but I can't now.

Need a hand?

Oh no.

Rolf is away on holiday, you see.

So I'm celebrating.
