---

- Sure.

Just the three of us.

It's the weekend.

I need to see

my mum today.

- Do you really have to?

- To talk about a deposit.

- For what?

- A flat, maybe.

- A flat?

- A studio flat.

- We're going to look at it today.

- Why not move in with us?

- You've already got a key.

- I've never lived on my own.

I'm looking forward to it.

It might be weird for Kasper, too.

- What do you mean?

- Suddenly having a stranger here.

You're not a stranger.

I'll have to talk to my mum about it.

Is she the one

who wants you to move?

- No, it's me.

- I expect she'll like having space.

- I don't know. Maybe.

- I'd like to meet her.

I doubt it.

- Why not? Do I embarrass you?

- No, it's nothing to do with that.

We could ask her to supper.

I'd better think about it.

This lousy knife!

Are you nervous?

Why should I be nervous?

Because your mum's going

to meet your new girlfriend?

I don't see it like that.

- How do you see it?

- What do you mean?

Aren't I your girlfriend?

Is it because I'm older than you?

Christian is 18.

And you're 36.

True, I am a bit older

than Christian.

Clever boy!

That was a difficult one.

I'll get it!

- Is it a problem?

- Is what?

- That I am twice your age?

- I don't know.

- Of course you know. Is it?

- Stop it, will you? Mum's here!

Am I too old?

Eh?

- No.

- Am I too old for you?

Of course not.

OK.

- Hi, my name is Birgit. What's yours?

- Kasper.

- That's a fine name.

- Thank you. So is yours.

Hi, mum. Come in.

- Hello, I'm Sanne.

- Birgit. Thanks for the invite.

Some chocolate for you and Kasper.

That looks gorgeous.

Christian doesn't eat

that kind of thing.

You do when you're here.

You don't usually... you always say

you don't want to get fat.

I don't think

there is any danger of that.

- I don't eat that much, do I?

- Oh, yes you do!

Yesterday you ate

almost a whole tub of icecream.

What a lovely view!

The flats are really nice.

Christian and I have

always liked living here.

Kasper, a bit of lemon?

No, thank you.

- A lovely wine.

- Three for a tenner.

That's cheap.

I only buy one bottle at a time.

Christian doesn't like wine.

It's quite normal at his age.

I'm getting a taste for it.

You're coping, aren't you?

Pass the butter, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- What do you do for a living, Sanne?

- Nothing at the moment.

I worked at a boutique

and fell out with the boss.

- It was messy.

- It's not always easy.

It suits me, though.

It means I've time to settle in...

and spend time with Kasper.

And Christian, of course.

Yes.

He'll be off to university soon

so he'll have a lot to attend to.

Christian, will you

help me in the kitchen?

- Why didn't you say?

- Say what?

- About going to university.

- I don't know. It...

Why are you going?

- To read Danish.

- Danish?

- There's nothing wrong with it.

- Danish is for girls!

I know why you've chosen Danish.

I know what goes on there!

- What are you on about?

- You just want to shag the girls.

"Christian, I get so horny

when we talk books together".

Stop it! That's not what it's like.

If you go,

we're through.

You can't just say that.

I want to get a degree.

You don't care about a degree.

You just want girls.

You don't know that, OK!

That's why people go to university.

You have no idea what goes on there.

- Oh, yes I do.

- Oh?

You got shagged there, maybe?

Did you?

Maybe.

- Who by?

- I don't remember.

- So many that you don't remember?

- It was ages ago. And just sex.

You are rank.

Just a cheap tart who shags around.

If your mum could hear

her sweet little boy now!

Let her.

You were the one in such a hurry.

- Anything I can do?

- I think we're OK, mum.

- It smells delicious.

- Thanks.

How nice that you can

make supper together!

Your view is much better than ours.

- What happened?

- Nothing, darling.

- Kasper, may I see your room?

- Of course. Follow me.

I'm sorry.

It was jealousy.

You don't like young girls

who read clever books, do you?

No.

- I think they're boring.

- Sure?

Yes.

You're only the one I want.

Your mum is waiting for us.

What?

Where did you grow up?

A village in the country.

You wouldn't know it.

- Oh? Do your parents still live there?

- Yes.

We're looking for

a nice flat for Christian.

We're talking about

Christian moving in here.

Here?

For the time being.

Oh. I see.

Kasper, you can take

your supper into your room.

I know it may seem a bit much.

Me having a kid and all.

But it's happened so fast

and we are so happy together.

If it's what Christian wants...

- It is, isn't it, Christian?

- Yes.

We can't control how we feel,

after all.

I'll get some more wine.

She seems very nice.

And she is very fond of you. But...

She is much older than you.

And a child on top. You'd be

taking on a huge responsibility.

Chill, mum.

We're not exactly getting married.

Don't you realize that

for her this is for real?

- Mummy, can I have some more Cola?

- Haven't you had enough?

- I could drink a drop more.

- So could I.

I so rarely drink wine.

Maybe I should drink it more often.

- How about a toast?

- What to?

- Mothers and sons!

- Here's to mothers and sons!

Cheers!

You've always been a good boy.

You've taken good care of me.

I am sure

it hasn't always been much fun.

It's hard being...

...on your own.

You've done well, mum.

No, I haven't.

I loved your father.

You do know that, don't you?

We... destroyed each other.

He was so handsome.

All the women had an eye for him.

I was so proud

that he was my husband.

I never figured out how to tell him.

If only I had...

I feel sick.

I must...

Sorry.

- I can't eat any more either.

- That's all right.

Sorry.

I'm not used to meat.

My stomach can't take it.

I'll see you home, mum.

No, you stay here with your

girlfriend and her lovely son.

I'll see you home.

Come on.

Is she all right?

- Why did she drink so much?

- She was nervous.

Also, you moving in here.

She doesn't like it.

What a weird night!

Would you like to be my man?

- Your man?

- Do you?

What do you mean?

Am I your woman?

- I suppose so.

- Am I or aren't I?

You are.

- Then tie me up.

- Tie you up?

Are you sure you aren't hungry?

You look as if you could

do with a sandwich.

No, thanks.

- Is something wrong?

- No, I'm just tired.

- Are you going to Sanne's?

- I don't think so.

I'm going to sit in the living room.

Come in if you want.

- OK. I'll just phone her first.

- Do that.

Hi, darling!

I have phoned you so many times!

- My phone was on silent.

- You said you'd come for supper.

Why didn't you come?

Is something wrong?

Is it your mother?

I think we should stop.

- Are you there?

- What did you say?

- We should stop seeing each other.

- Have you got someone else?

- No. That's not it.

- What is it, then?

I don't know if I can get tied down.

Who says you should get tied down?

That stuff about moving in...

It was only a suggestion.

I can't do it.

- What can't you do?
