- How kind. Thank you!

- My name is My. I can help you.

- Okay.

Put the clothes in the...

- You have very nice clothes!

- Do you think so?

Thank you!

- Will you live here now?

- That's the idea.

- Good!

- Yes, isn't it?

Have you built a little den?

Yes, one would imagine so.

There's the kitchen, here's the office

and there's the ice cream stand.

That's nice.

Why don't you have any children?

- It just didn't happen.

- Don't you want any?

Yes, but...

But you do have the toys.

What's this?

Is it yours? Where did you buy it?

- It was given to me by a guy.

- That was kind.

- Why don't you wear it?

- We're not together now.

- Why not?

- Because...

- Have you never been in love?

- Yes, but that was ages ago.

- I bet it was hundreds of years ago.

- Yes, actually.

Okay...

I don't know if this is supposed to be

an item of clothing or something torn.

Whatever it is, it's yours,

I found it in the dryer.

However, I noticed that you

cleaned the filter. We do like that.

- That's good.

- Indeed. Goodbye.

My?

- Why are you standing there, darling?

- I'm sorry, I thought it was her.

- Who?

- My grandma.

Can't I stay here with you

for a while longer? I can help you.

Of course you can.

But sooner or later

you have to go home. Or to Grandma.

She'll worry otherwise

and wonder where you are.

- It's as if I don't exist to her.

- Surely that's not true.

- I see you.

- I know.

Do you know what?

I have the perfect job for us.

- Where are we going?

- To the attic.

- I don't want to go there.

- Why not?

My, wait!

Come on, Udo. That's enough.

And here comes miss Menard, I believe.

Isn't that right?

- How did you know?

- That special gait.

You put your left foot down while your

right drags slightly. Very distinctive.

And, of course,

there's the perfume. I like it.

Thank you! Or I mean...

By the way, do you happen to know

whom the little girl is visiting?

- A little girl, you say? How old?

- Seven or eight, I should think.

She says she's visiting

her grandmother.

I don't believe we have any

grandmothers in the whole building.

- But we do have quite a few ghosts.

- Yes, right.

Come on, Udo, let's go!

- You've reached Emma...

- ...Pontus...

- ...and Linda.

- We can't take your call...

- ...but speak after the beep.

- Bye bye!

Hello, Emma, it's me.

I just needed someone to talk to.

I feel a bit lonely.

I know you have lots to do, but...

I don't know, but it feels as if...

Please call when you have the time.

Love you!

Hello...?

Hello?

Does it hurt?

Where did you come from?

You can't just turn up like this.

- You have to go home now.

- But I am home.

Oh dear, whatever

is the matter with you?

Does this by any chance

happen to be your grandchild?

- I beg your pardon?

- Isn't My here your grandchild?

I have neither children

nor grandchildren.

- But...

- Are you really feeling quite well?

I think I need to

go and lie down for a while.

My?

- My?

- Please don't be angry with me.

I'm not angry, I just need to try

to understand what's happening.

I said I live here. I've lived here all

along, since long before you moved in.

Let's take this

from the beginning, shall we?

Who are you?

My mum died when I was born,

so I had to live with Grandma.

Let me see and let me hear.

Let my inmost being speak.

Let my force, my hand -

- be filled with strength,

courage, hope.

"- Shall we go home to mum?"

"- Yes, we can have biscuits there!"

Grandma, where are you?

- Are you coming soon?

- Yes...

- I'm just going to...

- That's what Alfie Atkins said.

Let me see and let me hear.

Let my inmost being speak.

Let my force, my hand,

be filled with strength, courage...

Let my force, my hand,

be filled with strength and courage.

Your faithful...

Your faithful servant is calling you.

- Everything will be fine.

- How do you mean?

I think she blamed me

for my mum's death.

I woke up and everything

was so different.

I felt like the loneliest

person in the whole world.

Grandma couldn't

live with what she'd done.

I suppose that's why

she hanged herself.

But darling, nobody

gets happy when someone dies.

- But why me?

- You seemed sad and lonely, like me.

Don't you want to share you life with

someone? Why shouldn't we have that?

And you did say you wanted a child.

That's the worst part. I'm too old.

- Too old for what?

- A second chance. To start a family.

I'm a child and I want a real mum.

I want you.

- But this isn't for real.

- But you're real, Caroline.

That's why I need you

- so that I feel real.

You wanted a change, you said so. And

I don't want to be alone here anymore.

Nobody wants to be with me.

Nobody ever listens to me or does what

I want! I want her and I will take her!

I don't care what you want! You never

listen to me, so I won't listen to you!

I'm the one in charge down here!

She's mine! Mine, mine, mine...!

What's going on?

Wake up.

You're my mum now, for real.

It's alright, don't be afraid.

Everything's fine now.

I just had to help you

a little bit on the way.

Miss Menard?

Or...?

Frank?

Come on, Udo!

- Hello, Caroline?

- Hello?

Are you there? I got your message

and tried to call several times.

- Carro?

- Hello?

Hello? I'm on my way over now.

Carro...? Hello?

She can't see you.

- Emma?

- She can't hear you either.

Hello, dear.

I'm not buying anything, thanks.

Hello. No, I'm friends with

Caroline in the flat below.

Have you seen her? She's been gone

for a few days and I'm a bit worried.

What? I thought that flat

had been empty for years, dear.

Wait a second! What did you say

that you were selling? Hello?

We have each other now. Forever.

Mum...?

Everything will be alright.

Hello? Ms Ullman speaking.

Hello, my name is Katarina. Is the

advertised flat still available?

Yes, it's available.

You can move in straight away, dear.

Given that you meet our criteria.

- I'm a sincere, single professional.

- Lovely. I'm sure it'll go very well.
