- Why did she go to prison?

- He's a cruel, heartless man.

But why?

Is she still in prison?

- She's...

- Is this a joke?

No, it's not a joke.

It's not a joke, actually.

It's true.

Not because she went

to prison, but...

But, yeah, we...

What did she do?

She...

It was an accident.

She hit this guy with

her car, and...

- You left her because of that?

- No, things didn't work out.

The way they should.

- OK, has anyone...

- Want me to tell some more stories?

Let's go out

and drink some Turkish Pepper!

- That sounds good.

- There's a bar right nearby.

- What's the name of that bar again?

- It's called Badehane.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You OK?

I'm fine.

Just needed a bit of fresh air.

Yeah.

You guys were...

Good company.

You too.

- Audun is a very funny guy.

- He is.

He is.

He's...

He's dear to me.

- A good cousin?

- Good cousin, good friend.

Are you leaving tomorrow?

Yeah.

We are.

Going back home.

I had a good time today.

Me too.

Hey, look at that!

- The tram!

- There it is!

- A friend of yours?

- He's an old friend of mine.

- We want to go dancing!

- Disco, disco!

Audun calls them Delights,

because we're in Turkey.

The Turks wouldn't call them

Turkish Delights.

The first fur,

the very first mink fur...

No, 142 is the limit.

You should see the

goddam bathrooms!

Time for raki!

What?

Nothing. I just said

now we have to go drink raki.

And that we are waiting for you.

We should drink raki.

- Can I ask you something?

- Yeah, sure.

Why did you leave her?

- My fiance?

- Yeah.

Several reasons.

What reasons?

I don't think this is the time

or the place to talk about that.

Why?

Because it belongs to the past.

I'm just...

Curious about it.

OK.

Well, I don't...

I don't think

we should talk about that now.

Are you still together?

I'm just asking.

What?

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's OK.

Hi.

Hi.

You are fully integrated

into this magical city.

- Are you OK?

- I'm extremely fine, thank you.

She is too.

Mhm.

Do you know the Finnish

long-distance runner Paavo Nurmi?

Yeah.

They said about him -

- that he could run away

from everyone and everything.

But he could never

run away from himself.

- Really?

- It's true.

What time is it, August?

It's...

- Five. It's five o'clock.

- Five o'clock?

- Have you packed?

- Five o'clock. Not packed.

Me neither.

We can do it tomorrow.

Just stuff our suitcases.

- Where's Jacob?

- I think he went to bed.

I'll go buy some milk.

It's early, but the newspaper can be

found in thousands of mailboxes.

It's quite a logistical challenge.

Imagine if you have errands to run.

I have a list with five items...

It's nice that you take...

contact.

You can do it again,

but try to be in that moment. OK?

- Hello!

- Hello?

- Maria?

- Hi!

- What's up?

- Hang on, I just got another call.

Welcome to Vigeland Park, Oslo's

largest park, with 214 statues -

- by Gustav Vigeland.

The theme of this park,

in this park, is the circle of life.

As you can see here. This man

is trying with all his might -

- to break the circle of life.

That is of course not an easy task.

...the last tree with the young boy,

standing straight and...

Excuse me, what is this?

That is quark.

It's kind of like

a low-fat sour cream.

- Kind of?

- Yes.

- Like this?

- Yes.

It's like a sour yoghurt.

Or a sour cream.

OK.

Is it like crme frache?

Sure. It tastes a little different,

but, yeah, it's similar.

OK.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I just came.

I don't know anybody from here,

so it's nice to see you.

How are your friends?

I'm sorry?

You don't remember me?

- Remember you from...?

- From Istanbul.

From Istanbul?

No, I'm sorry. I think you've

mistaken me for someone else.

Thank you.

How come you don't

know anyone in Oslo?

I just came from Finland.

- That's for you.

- Thanks.

- Cheers!

- Kippis.

Kippis.

- I work here now.

- You do?

Yeah.

I'm not on holiday.

No. What's your occupation?

What do you do?

I'm a dancer,

but actually I don't dance anymore.

- You don't work as a dancer?

- No, I work with choreography.

- Nice.

- Yeah.

It could be.

And you?

I played basketball.

Really?

OK. That's nice.

Are you good?

Well, actually...

I'm not too bad.

I know a couple of dancers

that I work with.

- But that's all.

- OK.

It's hard when you can't

speak your own language.

There's always

some kind of misunderstanding.

Can you do this?

Like this?

OK.

Don't smile.

Yeah!

You look younger.

- Younger?

- Yeah.

OK.

Why would I look better

without the mustache?

You look...

Would you like to...

Maybe see my place?

Your place?

My home?

- Which one?

- This one.

I want this one.

Falafel in flatbread.

OK.

Falafel in flatbread.

- With brus?

- Brus? Absolutely.

What is that?

- It's like soda.

- Oh, OK.

Two falafels.

- With drink?

- With drink.

- One drink or two drink?

- Two drink.

I think this is the

loneliest moment.

The moment between

bar and home.

- Hi.

- Hi.

The food is not ready yet.

It's a bit messy.

You can take the plates.

Should I wash these?

I don't think so.

So who did you think I was?

At the store.

No one.

You thought I was someone.

Maybe, for a while.

But...

It's nothing.

- Are you getting serious?

- Serious?

No.

- What do you mean by serious?

- I don't know.

Tell a joke, then.

- Do you know any jokes?

- No.

I was just trying to have

a lighthearted conversation.

No!

Please.

I'm really ticklish.

Really?

- Please don't! I mean it.

- Really?

- You don't like it?

- No, I don't like it at all.

Stop it!

I don't like it, OK?

It's uncomfortable.

- OK.

- OK?

I don't understand what I'm

supposed to do. I don't get the point.

Of this exercise,

or this dance?

The exercise. I don't know

what I'm supposed to do.

So it's more than this exercise?

I kind of felt it yesterday

and the past days we've been training.

I'm not really comfortable with it.

But I'm trying to find new things,

because it's new to me also.

I'm used to dancing by myself,

so it's...

It's hard for me

to explain myself with words.

I'm...

So...

- Hi.

- Hi.

Sorry about...

About last time.

I don't usually -

- end up like that.

OK.

So I was wondering...

To...

To make it up to you.

Maybe we could do

something together?

OK.

OK?

OK.

So we're doing...

- Something.

- Yeah.

OK.

Wait a second.

- I'm not waiting for you.

- We're playing!

I have never seen -

- a basketball player

with a mustache.

- You haven't?

- No.

Do you know many

basketball players?

Michael Jordan.

That's it?

Yeah.

- You know, he used to have a mustache.

- Really?

And...

And you have Charles Barkley.

He had a mustache.

Clyde Drexler.

Karl Malone.

Dominique Wilkins.

Joe Dumars.

Quite many.

There are actually quite many

basketball players with mustaches.

And I think John Stockton

had a mustache at one point.

There's a small boat.

And it's very sad and lonely

because no one uses it anymore.
