Monica ...

How are you?

Are you okay?

- Hello?

- Hey, Eva-Lena. It's mummy.

- Hi Mom. How are you?

- I feel much better now.

Marika has moved in with us

so I'm not alone.

I 'll pick you up as soon as

I feel better .

But I want to stay with grandma and grandpa.

No problem, you may stay there.

- I love you Mom.

- I love you darling.

Say hello to grandma and grandpa and say

that I'll soon come to visit.

- I WANT to make a record with Bill Evans.

- And why would he go along with it?

Does he even know who Monica Zetterlund is?

No, but I sent him a tape.

Even if it's successful, you won't sell more than a few

hundred copies of the LP.

Now everyone want to have rock'n'roll .

I want to do something for the soul, not for

the money. Beppe has written a text.

- " Waltz for Debbie " - " Monica's Waltz ."

- Sounds good to me ...

- This is my next album. Are you in ?

- No, not this time.

If you don't pay, I'll do it myself.

But then there are no more

Monica Zetterlund on Philips. This you need to know!

Monica!

Yes.

Monica!

Call from America.

America is calling her!

- Hello?

- Hello Monica. This is Bill Evans.

- How are you?

- Oh I'm fine, how are you?

-Good, thanks. I have your tape. -You got it?

-I got it. and I like it a lot!

I was thinking, I have a gig at the Lenox Lounge coming up.

So would you like to come and sing with me?

- Anytime Bill.

- It's great. It'll be fun.

- Yes?

- That was Bill Evans.

- What did he want?

- That I should come and sing with him.

This is fantastic !

Mummy!

Hey, baby.

What are you going to do in New York?

Have you forgotten what happened last time ?

It's different this time.

- "It's different this time" !

- You do not know what I'm going to do.

I thought that you've got everything you dreamed of.

Don't you ever get satisfied?

I have to try new things.

You don't to try a thing.

Try to calm down Monica.

Stop getting around bewildered .

Do you remember when you climbed the trees?

I did at least get to see

how the world looks like from above.

I feel sorry for you. Do you know that?

- Why?

- You could have been something big.

But you didn't even dare to try.

The view up there is amazing.

That's enough!

- I'm meeting Bill Evans in the United States.

- Bill Evans?!

- It's so beautiful here,

- And so big!

Tiny lights that move.

- Do you see Hagfors?

- No.

- Neither do I.

Because Hagfors is just

a tiny speck of dust in the universe.

Hi, Monica, Arne Thorn. I will present the concert

for the Swedish radio listeners.

Monica! So good to see you.

I'm looking foward to this.

- This is my daughter Eva- Lena .

- Shall we? -Ready?

The city's musicians have gathered to listen

when Monica Zetterlund will sing with world best pianist.

- It will be interesting, Bengt.

- Miles Davis stands at the bar.

Did you hear that? Miles Davis.

Ella Fitzgerald

and Sammy Davis Jr are here too.

Now you are proud to be Swedish.

Don't you want to listen

when your daughter is singing? Come on!

Monica is nervous

back and forth out in the wings.

I put the radio here,

so we both can hear... come on!

The hair is nicely styled.

She lights another cigarette

and looks at the audience

Now comes Bill Evans on stage.

Please welcome to the stage:

Monica Zetterlund.

Thank you.

I wanna dedicate this song to a very special person

in Sweden, his name is Sture kerberg.

I hope he's listening right now.

- Hello? -Good evening, You have an International call.

-Oh Thank you. -Standby, I'll put you through.

-Hello? Who is it?

-Hello, Hi Monica...

- Father! Has something happened?

- No, nothing happend.

It's hard with the sound delay,

so I have to talk a little bit ...

We heard you on the radio,

and it was wonderfull...

I would also ... I want to thank you Monica,

because you have shown me -

- How things look like from the top.

Oh, dad ...

I'm probably going to have to hang up.

It will be so expensive.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

- Hello. How are you?

- Good.

Come on, we have to go in.

God, you look so serious!

It's worse than a funeral.

Stop all that!

When one makes the entry of a lifetime,

you have to be a little more cheerful.

Otherwise, there would be no party!
