I'm still waiting for the right one.

The right man.

I imagine you'd find one easily.

You're an attractive woman.

Sami. I need to tell you

something important.

Go ahead.

Can we go some place and sit down?

Sami, when you have

extra practice, -

I have to hire

a substitute for my son.

- Dad...

- Slay out of this!

I wanted Teo to come because

he usually organizes our defense.

But that's alright.

I won't punish him for that.

Sami, I can see what kind of

man you are. I respect you.

You're a man

who came to talk to a man.

Teo. You're going

to practice tomorrow.

- Thanks.

- No problem.

Okay, tell me.

Maybe it's better

if you don't contact me again, -

at least not for therapy.

Two Desperatas.

Thanks.

- Why not?

- Because I'm not a therapist.

Are you joking?

I have a degree in social work.

I worked as a school counselor

for ten years. Now I have to clean.

The day we met

I was cleaning Anna-Liisa's office.

I was trying on her clothes

when you suddenly showed up.

That's how I ended up

playing the role of a therapist.

I really wanted to help you.

You're a nice man.

I like you.

I like you a lot.

Please forgive me.

The subject of this course

is close to your hearts:

Sexuality.

- Isn't it close to your heart, too?

- It is.

- Julia doesn't give you any?

- Julia does, but do I?

Teo, did you get the book?

- Did you?

- I didn't have time.

Well, I've been thinking -

we could try to talk about

the subject a bit more openly.

We could discuss desires and wishes

that are a bit more marginal.

But we'll start by talking about

the most common form, -

the one without which

mankind wouldn't exist.

- Animal sex?

- C'mon, guys.

Goddammit, guys!

Seriously,

what do you know about sex?

What do you know about love?

What do you know

about being a man or a woman -

who longs to be touched?

Tell me.

Sami.

I'd like to ask you for something.

Please don't tell anyone what I did.

- Why would I tell anyone?

- I don't know.

- It was a shitty thing to do.

- Don't worry about it.

Maarit.

I'm teaching sexuality

in health education.

Would you be interested

in telling me about yourself?

I'd like to open

my students' eyes to minorities.

I don't feel like

I'm part of a minority.

- But we can try.

- That would be great.

I don't know how easy it will be

to talk about my past with you.

I had a crush on you.

Call me tomorrow.

WOMENS' SHELTER

STAFF:

Your references look really good.

There's just one thing.

We Google our applicants

for safety reasons, -

but I couldn't find anything

about Maarit Majantie.

I changed my first name.

It has to do with a process

I've undergone recently.

Regarding my sexual identity.

Okay.

But this process wouldn't stop you -

from giving

a hundred percent at work?

I wouldn't have applied

for this if it did.

We're pretty open minded here, -

but we'll still have

to think about it.

I'll need to talk to my boss.

I'm sure you understand-

that shelter workers face

difficult situations at work.

- I'll call you in any case.

- Thanks.

Good job, Teo!

Hit the showers, guys!

Good work.

Who are you, by the way'?

I'm an old friend of Sami's.

Are you a psychologist or something?

I heard you and Sami talk

in my dad's pizzeria.

You said something about therapy.

I help Sami with the coaching stuff.

Just between you and me.

Don't get mad, but-

8P8 YOU a man OI' woman?

What do you mean? - You kind of

dig your body a little too much.

The way Finnish women never do.

Is there something wrong

with my body'?

Why shouldn't I dig it?

Would it be better

if I moved like a wrestler? - No.

I just meant you have a cool vibe.

So, where do you want to go?

What do you want to know'?

You could tell me

how Maarit became Maarit.

Okay.

I remember sitting under

the kitchen table when I was five.

Abba's "Honey, Honey"

was playing on the radio.

I was looking at my mom's legs

and suddenly I realized I'm a girl.

I also realized

I had to hide it from everyone.

My sexual fantasies were

really confusing for a long time.

There were a lot of things

I didn't even dare to think about.

At sixteen I had a crush

on a girl named Oona.

We ended up in bed and

I had this strange feeling -

that I was a girl

and Oona was a boy.

And that it was okay for her, too.

I felt somehow... liberated.

And that I didn't have to be

afraid of that feeling.

There's something important

you should understand.

I've never wanted lobe

cured of my feelings, -

only of my body.

I thought that maybe -

I just wasn't trying

hard enough to be a man.

So I decided to try harder.

I started taking soccer seriously.

I enlisted in the army

as a volunteer.

I got married and

started a family really quick.

What about your wife? Did she knew'?

I lived a double life

successfully for over ten years.

I loved my wife and daughter.

But I knew I was lying to myself-

in the most important area

of my life.

I longed to be touched, -

but I couldn't let anyone touch me -

because the body that longed

for the touch didn't exist.

Except if I faked it.

I don't know if you understand.

Maybe I do.

Call me.

What's going on'?

Huh'? - I'm starting to think

you have a mistress or something.

Do you?

No.

- I started therapy.

- Oh.

That's great.

Are you seeing Anna-Liisa'?

I was going to, but then I...

Would it be okay

if this was my thing?

At least tell me if it's

a man or woman. - A woman.

What's her name'?

Maarit.

- Watch out for transference.

- Trans what?

It's when the patient falls in love

with the therapist. - Oh.

Maarit is fifty and has a mustache,

so you don't have to worry.

Love can be blind to a mustache.

That's what they say.

Hello?

Yes, I am. But that's my old name.

Is it about my daughter?

I'm sure you can tell me...

I understand. I have Thursday off.

I'll be there.

- I'm here to see Officer Haapoja.

- Third door on the left.

Alright, Mauritz. Maarit.

The thing is, after you left town, -

we've heard people

say all kinds of things.

We ignored the talk

for a long time.

But not too long ago, -

Matias Nykvist and

his parents contacted us.

Matias talked about an incident

he witnessed on a school field trip.

It had to do with you

and his cousin Johannes.

Matias came back

to the sauna to get his towel.

He heard you and Johannes

talking in the dressing room.

I remember that.

Matias says you encouraged Johannes

to become a homosexual.

Is it true? - I have never

encouraged anyone to do anything.

I listened to what the teenagers

had on their minds and-

told them to think

about their actions carefully.

You already knew then

that you were a transsexual, right?

I'm transgender. - Are you

interested in men or women or both?

What are you getting at?

Matias told us

he stopped and listened to you -

because it all started to sound

so strange. - What did'?

He heard heavy breathing.

You whispered and

Johannes breathed heavily.

I comforted him. He wasn't
