and equality in my life

I need a little respect

and dignity in my life

I don't want to live

in a group home

I don't want to live

in an institution

I want to live in a Kallio

in the privacy of a bomb shelter

Kallio is good, for sure

T66I6 is a real bore

Kallio will always excite you

And there's so much more to do

I need a little respect

and equality in my life

I need a little respect

and dignity in my life

I love you, yummy yummy yeah

Kallio rules!

Thank you.

Ah, the hum of the forest.

I-lave you thought about

moving out on your own? - No.

Your name is on the waiting list...

- I'm not moving anywhere.

Your name is on the waiting list

for a group home ... - Shut up!

I-low do you feel about

moving out when you're older?

To a group home.

When you die.

- That's when you'll move out?

I won't move to a group home.

My home is a good place for me.

I'm sure.

But we'll go check out the apartment

you signed up for. - No, we won't.

Oh yes, we will.

- No. I won't get dressed.

Everything works. Great.

One, two, one, two, three, four.

I clean my room

l cook

I microwave a sandwich

I watch TV

This is f***in' awesome

I have the punk syndrome

This is f***in' awesome

I have the punk syndrome

it's the brown mark!

Then the long gray one.

Thanks, that's enough. Stop!

Okay let's listen.

This is f***in' awesome

I have the punk syndrome

F*** you all!

That song couldn't be played

any better. - Was it good?

Yeah, we did a good job!

- Go, us!

Good job. - First we'll eat

and then we'll record the guitars.

Good job.

This will be so lovely.

Guys, we rock.

Yes, we knock.

- No, I said, "We rock." Listen.

What do we lock?

- No, we rock!

We're locked?

- You mean clock?

Pertti, rock. Not knock.

Okay. We rock.

- That's it, Pertti.

The snake attacked me once again.

This vest is very poisonous.

It has killed 400 people.

Kalle's gray green and white jacket

isn't poisonous,...

but it can strangle people to death.

Kalle's green sweater

is very poisonous.

That's why I don't like

to visit Kalle Pajamaa.

Were you at my birthday party?

- No, I wasn't.

When was it?

- I threw the party on the 9th.

Kari didn't come

to my birthday party

I have to understand...

that people may have

other plans and...

can't always come to my birthday

parties. - More important plans!

I was sure Sami hated me.

- I don't hate you.

It's just that

weekends are me-time for me.

I know.

I see Pertti enough at work.

- You sure do.

I get it.

Shut up, Sami Helle.

F*** you, Sami Helle.

I hate Sami Helle.

Shut up, Sami Helle.

Shut up, Sami Helle.

F*** you, Sami Helle.

I hate you, Sami Helle.

In twenty-five seconds...

we'll have the first official

returns of the early vote.

You'll see them

on the bottom of the big screen.

The National Coalition Party

The Finnish Social Democratic Party

True Finns 18.6 percent.

The Centre Party 17.3 percent.

According to

the early voting results,...

you're holding the fourth place.

Any comments?

This seems like a clear defeat.

But let's wait

for the final results,...

as the margins

are still quite small.

I'm sad that the support

we got during our campaign tour...

doesn't show in the votes.

Our supporters have been

happy with our campaign,...

but it seems we havent managed

to get enough new voters.

So you admit defeat?

Mari Kiviniemi, 17.3 percent.

What do you think of the results?

Where's Toni?

Let's continue.

- We can't yet.

Pertti, what's missing?

- Toni.

Don't speak into the mic.

Where the heck is Toni?

He's not here either.

Toni. Back to work!

Okay you go back to the rehearsal.

You should come right away

when we ask you.

We shouldn't have to come

and get you.

You understand?

- Of course.

This is on our schedule today

right? - You're right.

That's what we'll do then.

Okay.

- Stop that.

Once more and it's lunch break.

And then we have one more session.

Not a single sound until we start!

Punk music is garbage.

Complete garbage.

I'll throw all my punk records

in the trash.

I'll keep my schlager albums and

Beethoven violin Concertos...

and stuff like that.

But I'll throw all my punk and

other records in the trash today.

As soon as possible.

I hate Sami Helle.

I can't sleep. F***!

I tried to throw myself

under a metro train once.

I tried it once.

But then someone said,...

"Don't throw yourself

under the metro train!"

"You mustn't do that."

Somebody came to me...

and said...

and said I shouldn't hurt myself.

"Don't jump under the metro train."

I realized I shouldn't do it.

But I almost did.

Sami! Sami!

Stay strong!

You can do it! You can do it!

Don't drop them!

The time?

- 52 seconds!

Good job.

Sami, are your pants tight enough

so they don't fall? - Yeah yeah.

Next!

- Here! Sami Helle.

Stan behind the cone.

You'll go when I say

"Ready steady go..." - Go! Run!

This wasn't my day

- No, it was great!

That was damn good!

That was damn good!

That's the world's

most malicious laugh.

That was great, huh?

- Yeah.

You don't have to leave

empty handed.

The winners of

the Strongman Competition are...

Thank you.

Riku Miester!

And the winner is Olli Leppkangas

from our school!

What?

I-low do you feel about

going to see the group home?

I'm very happy

There's Liisa, Mikko,

Jarkko and Jaakko...

And Jokke.

- Yeah, Jokke too.

And most importantly

Liisa lives there. - That's right.

Kiss kiss.

Hi.

- Hello there.

I'm Toni.

- I-low are you?

I'm good. What's your name?

- Sat...

I'm Toni.

- I saw your gig. You remember?

Oh, that's right. You were there.

- I sure was.

When do you plan on moving out

on your own? - very soon.

You want to move out

of your mommy and daddy's house?

When you get tired of us

and want to move out on your own,...

you think

this could be the right place?

Son of.

We have eight residents here...

- You should go give Liisa a hug.

Is Jarkko at work?

- Yes, and Mika too.

Hi, Liisa. You have a lovely home.

- Thanks.

And you have a heat home theater.

That's right. Thank you, Toni.

- This is for you.

Thank you.

Come on in.

This is my home.

So this is your home.

- Yes.

I-low do you like it here, Liisa?

- I like it.

It's a lovely place.

- Yes.

I moved here on April 5th.

So you've been here

for a long time. - Yup.

I-low did you learn to sing?

- With my heart. And my chest.

And because of love.

Are you in love?

- Yes.

I guess Mika swept you

oft your feet a month ago.

I guess so. - Mika lives here, too,

in his own room.

And we play in the same band.

That's the way it should be.

Why did you kiss me

in the karaoke then?

It was a friendly kiss.

- That's right.

But who is Liisa in love with?

- With Mika.

That's right.

Here comes Mika, Liisa's boyfriend.

See how she lights up?

Mika, hi.

- Hi.

You want to show your room to Toni?

- I'm busy.

Okay See you.

A melody of footsteps

echoes on the street

The boy is already waiting

by the window
