I didn't know we'd be

trekking in deep woods.

Let's go back to the road.

The moss on the tree -

tells you where north is.

What are you saying?

- I saw that on a nature program.

Do you see any moss?

No more than 15 minutes away.

The landscape looks the same

than eight hours ago.

Your turn to soak your pants?

Have to have faith. To find the road.

It's the same in life.

Stay on your chosen path, bravely.

What's up? We were supposed

to walk the path of life.

Right now, I can't. My feet hurt.

We can't stay here.

- Do you have any options in mind?

Just put me down.

This is not working.

I'm hungry-

Give me a break.

In Finland the key is usually...

under the carpet.

Is that the only thing you found?

- No.

Do you want some?

- Why not?

Yammy. I've been carrying

these all the time.

Good.

Don't speak with your mouth full.

- Really good.

Lingonberries

Frozen by Sirkka

Is Sirkka your wife?

Hit the sack!

There's only one bed in here.

You'll figure out something.

Improvise.

Bloody hell.

Hi there!

What a face! You thought

a crocodile was attacking you!

I thought you're used

to wildlife in Africa.

I was born in Finland.

- No you were not. You're a Somali.

Jump in!

- No.

Now I know why you're a wimp.

- Why?

If you were born in Africa,

you'd be a tough guy.

You'd be a child soldier.

- Then I would've shot you already.

That's not funny anymore.

No kissing!

What the hell just happened?

Don't know. A little heart problem.

- A little heart problem!

No big deal. Never has been.

No, no.

- What now?

Where...

What's up now? -It's because of you.

My chain is in the lake.

Chain?

- The one my father gave me.

Ask for another one. -How can I? He's

in Nairobi. I'm in the damn woods.

Is that where you're going?

- I'm going that way.

You're going the other way. I hope

we'll never see each other again.

On what side was

the damn moss supposed to be?

You should take the road.

That's the usual way.

Haven't you told your mother?

One more word

and I'll dump you, for sure.

You live with her?

- None of your business.

How have you planned this out?

You've stolen your stepfather's car?

I'll catch you. I bet I will, midget.

Wait a sec. Wait.

What do you want?

Does your father know about this?

- Of course.

When he left, we planned all this.

When did he leave?

When did he leave?

When I was ten.

Oh my goodness.

I have his number.

And we've talked via Messenger.

I know he wants me over there.

You're on your way to Africa.

But you don't have any clothes.

Use the Messenger.

Talk to your Daddy.

My battery's flat.

- Use the land line. Call him.

What do you think?

- Hey!

Sorry! Does anyone have a charger?

- Give me that!

You can't take my phone.

One more word and I'll

yell a Somali is trying to steal.

I'm not a Somali.

- Find a phone.

Or don't you have

the guts to call him?

Whose wedding is this?

- Give me that!

Who's this?

You give me that,

I'll give you this.

God damn it.

Sorry.

What are you doing in there?

What do people

usually do in toilets?

You have a son.

So I have.

Are you going to his wedding?

- No.

A stupid idea. That I'd go there.

And somehow all would be well.

I'm going to the cabin. You just

take care of your own business.

You just can't do that. Not to go.

- Says who?

It's your son's wedding.

I'll get us a ride.

You'll go to the wedding.

Even if I have to carry you. -No way.

You will.

- God damn. Shut the f*** up.

You'll go there. Hang on.

Hey, excuse me.

Do you know a girl with curly hair?

- Yep.

How do you know who I'm talking

about? -Why wouldn't I?

Which way should I go?

Tappara or Ilves?

- I don't follow hockey. Football.

Thanks.

Hi.

- What brings you snooping in here?

I'm not...

- Wait.

Thanks.

Did you think I'd steal your money?

- I did not.

What sort of girl do you think I am?

- What?

Just kidding.

Do you understand? -Maybe.

Where are you going?

- Well, to a wedding.

You need a passport to go there?

Don't you always need one

in the backwoods?

When was the last time

you had a shower?

Come on.

I had a swim this morning!

You can't go to

a wedding in a T-shirt.

My brother's clothes.

If they fit, you can keep them.

Okay. Thanks.

How old are you then?

Eighteen.

An older woman.

Where are you going?

- To the country place.

But you are pretty rural already.

With whom?

- Mom and Dad.

I like them!

Don't you like yours?

Come.

My M-car.

- What?

If you can start it...

You are staring.

Do you know that in Somali

Noora means "light"?

Really? You made that

up right there.

No, really.

But you're not even a Somali.

- No, but Abdi is.

You're a complicated guy.

- And you're a Hillbilly puma.

Look at that.

I'm getting out here.

We can't all fit in here.

Are you giving me your car?

- I'm lending it to you.

I'll come to Helsinki next week.

I can pick it up then.

I might not be there then.

- Oh?

I'm going to my clad.

To Nairobi.

I guess we won't be

seeing each other then.

Cell phone.

You smell of gasoline.

Is there any way we could meet?

Go on now.

Take the old boy to the wedding.

And put the M-car keys in the mail.

It's going to be OK.

You were supposed to change.

- Can you step aside? It's game time.

Now go and put that suit on!

OK, OK.

Could you deliver this?

Why don't you just text him?

- My feet hurt.

After all this, you're too tired to

take a few steps? -Right now I can't.

Help out an old man.

Be so kind.

What the hell?

- There's no letter.

Guess how long it took me to write

that? -Go over there. Talk to him.

Bastard!

One more time,

a big welcome to you all.

I've known the wedding couple

for a long time. Very long.

I'm really proud and honored -

to be the bestman

of a couple like that.

Take the stage, Mika and Peter!

Peter, I love you.

We have a long mutual history.

We lived on the same street...

Does Mika know?

- What?

Does Mika know?

Wait!

- Don't!

Let's go.

Get the hell out of my way.

Hey! Hey!

What is he doing here?

I sort of invited him.

- You did?

Technically

your break-up is my fault.

Don't give yourself too much credit.

Don't be so stubborn.

Go and talk to him.

You're just like him.

- Like hell I am!

Go and talk to him.

You haven't changed a bit.

Why are you here?

I still have the same disease.

I just said

my honest opinion back then.

Honest?

"My son's not gay

or I don't have a son anymore."

I could have expressed

myself differently.

You even disallowed

Mommy to see me.

You were provoking me

with your boyfriends.

And your flirting around.

- It wasn't too hard.

It's part of my disease. Guess what?

Mommy was seeing me

all the time, behind your back.

She didn't listen to you, either.

- I knew it all along.

At her funeral...

...you couldn't even be

in the same room with me.

Not even then.

Have you abandoned him?

- He has.

He has abandoned me.

And who the f*** are you?

A neighbor.

A neighbor!

Stop your arguing.

You're supposed to make up.
