- That's not a problem.

I haven't seen you in ages.

Hey, sweetie,

can you tell them your name?

- This is Vilads. He's six.

- Hi, Vilads.

He's got a heart condition,

so he has to take it easy.

Oh, that sounds serious.

I'm going to die when I turn nine.

- Bloody hell!

- Wow, you know that for sure?

No, we don't. But he scores

a lot of points with that sentence.

- The girls love it.

- Right on!

They only gave him a couple of years -

- but there's stuff

he wants to do first.

That's the spirit.

Good for you, Vilads.

- How old is she?

- How old are you, Freja?

- I'm 14.

- Do you think she's nice?

I'll only live to be nine.

He moves fast!

I'll probably also develop

a heart condition soon.

- How do we do this?

- Vote on it.

- Hell, I'm all for.

- Me too.

- Me too.

- And me.

- You too?

- Well, it's a fact then.

Get Steffen a beer.

- A beer?

- Please.

- This is going to be great.

- Welcome.

So, Mona's turn tomorrow.

I try.

What do you do for a living, Allon?

- Odd jobs.

- I ask, because the rent is steep.

Everybody is made aware of this.

He does speak Danish, Mona.

Okay?

But I don't understand him.

- I try to make ends meet.

- What did he say?

He tries to make ends meet.

Steff says you work here and there,

and I can't help wondering...

- Why do you keep changing jobs?

- It's almost always odd jobs.

- Are you happy with that?

- I can imagine stuff I'd rather do.

- Like what?

- What would you like to hear?

Not to rub it in,

but I get the feeling -

- that you don't voluntarily

switch between jobs?

What gives you that impression?

You just sense it?

Yes... I do.

That makes me curious.

- What?

- It makes him curious.

What are your plans for the future?

What would you like to do?

A plan...

- I want to arrive.

- What?

What?

You want to arrive?

- I want to arrive.

- Right.

Arrive?

What the hell kind of answer is that?

Why are you raising your voice?

Just answer my question

before you start talking back to me.

Why do you want to live with us?

- I take it you're the boss here?

- No, I'm not the boss here.

We don't have a boss.

This is a commune.

We all do the dishes here.

We don't have a boss, understand?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

- Erik, stop.

- What?

- Calm down.

- Breathe.

- What?

- Yes!

I breathe all the time.

Well, I'm sorry!

- This always happens to me.

- What?

- This always happens to him.

- I annoy people.

- It's my personality.

- His personality! He annoys people.

It was nice to meet you.

Is he crying?

Oh, come on!

- Don't bite his head off like that.

- I just told him the rent was steep.

Apologise.

- I've told everyone.

- He's crying. Allon? Erik, go talk...

- I can't talk to a man who's crying.

- He's upset.

I'm sorry, Allon.

Sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

No, it's okay.

You have to make the right choice.

- I haven't got any money.

- Forget about the money. I...

- I vote for Allon.

- Yes.

- He hasn't got any money.

- Welcome.

- Welcome, Allon... Allan. Whatever.

- Come on in.

Damn, we're moving up in the world!

This construction is new to me.

It's like a co-operative dairy?

Just like you, Mona.

You're waiving ownership and giving

the house to the others. Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

- Right on!

Great!

Make seven copies, okay?

Vilads, we're officially roomies now.

Cheers!

Feel my arse, it's freezing!

But... Anna, honey?

- Anna? Anna?

- What?

I want to say something!

I got a great idea for the competition

today. How to integrate a...

She's always fussing over him.

- Sorry, you were saying?

- I think I've cracked it.

- I got a great idea...

- A fun idea?

How to integrate the wharf

into the harbour. In a good way.

You're a much warmer person.

You're so much more...

- Good morning.

- Have a nice day, Ole.

- Good morning.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Have a nice day, everyone.

- Bye.

Hi.

Thank you. Put away the guitar

and come to class. Don't dawdle.

Jesper.

Last one in shuts the door.

Fine, let's get concrete

about your... What did you call it?

- Note.

- Your note.

Go ahead.

Am I right in saying that your

last presentation centred on tepees?

Hey, that might be fun.

Tepees.

- Why tepees, Jesper?

- A tepee is a mobile room.

You can place it in various contexts.

It holds potential for variation

and interaction with the dream world.

- Just like the tribes...

- Sorry... What dreams?

All kinds of dreams.

Dreams should be free.

I feel that's important.

Do those dreams have anything to do

with architecture? Do you feel that?

Your dreams in your project don't

have a thing to do with architecture.

They hold no vision of how

people should live together at all.

Tell me why I should listen

to this nonsense. Honestly.

Tell me why I should spend 35 minutes

listening to your experiences in Peru.

And your notes about music,

this flute business...

This is interesting to one person,

Jesper. Guess who?

Yes?

I'll just come in.

I'd like to hear your reasoning

for such a brutal approach.

Such a brutal approach?

Oh, him. Jesper.

- Do you know him?

- Yes.

You know him.

That in itself must be unbearable.

- Did you have to humiliate him?

- He did that all by himself.

He's a fool.

An amateur and a fool.

What can I do for you?

Can I borrow a cigarette?

You can have one.

What's your name?

I'm Emma.

I'm a third-year student.

On my course? Oh.

Well, Emma, third-year student.

What do you want

other than to defend your friend?

- I want to discuss my project with you.

- Fine.

Let's arrange a meeting then.

How about Tuesday?

Over lunch in the cafeteria?

How about now over a fag?

Well... that, too is...

...a possibility.

I don't have much time.

I have to catch a bus.

- Exciting, isn't it?

- Yes. Think we can squeeze it in?

I'm very interested in

Le Corbusier's Modulor system -

- and his view of human needs.

Oh, you're not into that.

I bet you've read so much about

the Modulor and Le Plan Voisin -

- that you have absolutely

no views of your own.

Find another project.

How old are you?

Why do you ask?

What excites you?

- I don't know.

- You have to find out.

- Have you got a view of Nyhavn here?

- That's Nyhavn.

That's the view. Lean forward

and you can see Kongens Nytorv.

Lovely.

Yes.

Little old Copenhagen.

Did you dance around down there

after your graduation?

- Yes. Didn't you?

- You bet.

But it's a hell of a long time ago.

It's okay.

What is okay?

You can kiss me.

I can see who you are.

And I like him.

- Would you like wine?

- Thanks.

Hi.

Steff, I write in my article that the

end product of anarchy must be order.

- Anarchy says no one rules over anyone.

- Hi, everybody. I'll have a beer.

So go ahead and write that.

- Do we have an agenda?

- Sure. The How-Are-We-Doing Round.

It gives me a rush to wake up

every day in this fantastic house -

- with all of you loonies

running around.

I feel like you're my family now.

Anna, how are we doing?
