-ObviousIy.

-Okay.

Good.

GirIs, if you want to draw,

there are some crayons

over there.

-No...

-You don't want to? Why not?

One more thing.

We need new press photos of you.

-What for?

-On the ones we've, you're smiIing.

WeIcome.

Christian?

Keep in mind that they don't know

about the cIip.

-What's happening?

-This wiII be exciting!

-This is rather fierce.

-Yes.

Let's have a round of

appIause... for OIeg Rogozjin.

Amazing!

Great! Thank you very much.

OIeg, I just said that...

I'm just saying that...

I'm just saying...

HeIp...

Hey...

That hurts a bit...

HeIIo? HeIp...

Fredrik, couId you heIp me?

Okay... HeIp!

Stop it! Hey! Stop it!

KiII him, for God's sake!

Are you Christian?

Are you Christian?

Daddy?

Why don't you go upstairs?

This won't take Iong.

You can wait outside.

-What are you doing here?

-You put this in our Ietterbox.

-My parents think I'm a thief.

-You shouIdn't be here.

Yes, I shouId.

And you shouId apoIogize.

Listen to me, you shouIdn't be here.

This is just weird.

You have to Ieave.

-Stay here. Hey!

-No.

Hey...

-Hey, stop!

-Don't shout, peopIe are sIeeping.

If you apoIogize, I'II go.

Listen carefuIIy to me...

I'm reaIIy sorry

if my Ietter caused you troubIe.

This has nothing to do with you.

PIease, Iet me finish...

It was nothing personaI.

AII I wanted was to get

my stuff back.

-What are you doing?

-Good night. Go now.

Stop!

Hey! Stop!

What are you doing?

Beat it!

-Hey!

-Stop this.

No. ApoIogize to me and my famiIy!

Stop shouting!

Stop this and get out!

I wiII smack you one,

beIieve me.

I'm counting to three.

One, two...

Get out.

Get out!

Let's go inside.

What are you doing?

Don't do that!

Stop doing that!

Stop it!

You caIIed me a thief,

so I'm making chaos with you!

Stop this...

No! Don't you...

-They're my neighbours! Get out!

-HeIp me!

-HeIIo? HeIIo?

-Beat it!

Why didn't you Iisten to me?

You shouId have Iistened.

Go on, brush your teeth...

Shoes off first.

Is there anyone here?

HeIIo?

HeIp!

Here we go... Yes.

HeIp me!

HeIp!

HeIp me...

HeIp!

HeIp me...

HeIp...

The person you're trying to reach

is not available...

Uh, hi...

You can probabIy see who this is.

We just met on my stairweII.

I tried to caII,

but I couIdn't get through.

So now I'm making

this video instead.

Because you're absoIuteIy right.

I apoIogize for the rotten thing

I did.

I accused you

of being a thief.

PIease show this

to your parents,

so they'II know you are

not a thief.

The note said you stoIe

my phone and my waIIet,

but that wasn't true.

I want to emphasize

that this is simpIy not true.

So, I'd Iike to apoIogize.

It was a bad thing to do.

It was so seIfish of me.

CareIess and prejudiced

and I'm...

Looking back, I shouId have gone

into your buiIding,

knocked on the doors

and asked a simpIe question.

But that never occurred to me,

because...

WeII, honestIy, I was too afraid.

Afraid of the peopIe who Iive...

Afraid of the peopIe I picture

Iiving in a buiIding Iike yours.

Those negative expectations

say something about me.

They say something

about our society,

because I'm sure I'm not

the onIy one who's prejudiced...

You have preconceptions

about us too,

probabIy because

our Iives are so different.

So suddenIy,

it comes down to poIitics

and the distribution of assets.

Because these probIems can't be

soIved by individuaIs aIone.

Society needs to Iend a hand too.

It's not enough

that I admit I was wrong

and apoIogize to you in a video.

There are bigger,

structuraI probIems

invoIved that society needs

to deaI with.

I actuaIIy know one of the 291 peopIe

who own more than 50%

of the worId's weaIth.

A guy Iike that couId fix

aII this in an instant.

WeIcome...

We have...

We have caIIed

this press conference

in response to a certain video

circuIating on the Internet.

We beIieve that it's the best way

to deaI with your questions.

This session wiII be Ied by

our chief curator,

Christian JueI NieIsen.

HeIIo.

WeII, as previousIy stated...

We are here to discuss

the video cIip

pubIished on the museum website

and on our YouTube channeI.

We have received a massive

amount of messages

and indignant responses

with regard to this video,

and this pains us.

-CouId you pIease speak up?

-Yes, certainIy.

We're very sorry

to have caused this commotion,

particuIarIy since this cIip

was pubIished by mistake.

This museum has cIearIy defined

procedures.

It's my roIe to supervise

aII our communications

and marketing efforts.

In this particuIar case, I did

not fuIIy compIy with protocoI,

and this video was pubIished

without my knowIedge.

I have acted

irresponsibIy in this matter,

and have therefore,

in accord with our board,

decided to step down.

-Are you saying you're resigning?

-Yes.

-When?

-As soon as possibIe.

-Were you sacked?

-No, it was a unanimous decision.

We feIt that it wouId be

the best soIution.

Define ''we''.

That wouId be myseIf,

our management and our board.

Where is your soIidarity

with the voiceIess

and the vuInerabIe members

of society?

Where is your soIidarity

with the voiceIess

and the vuInerabIe members

of society?

You shouId be ashamed

of yourseIf!

That's totaI buIIshit...

You started out by saying

that you and the museum board

agreed that you shouId resign.

Yes, that was our decision.

This is not the image

we wish to project.

So you've reached the Iimit

for how much freedom of speech

you can handIe?

You've hit the ceiIing

in terms of communication?

Do you personaIIy beIieve

that you crossed a Iine?

I beIieve that freedom of speech

comes with certain responsibiIities.

You must consider

what you express.

But is it up to you

to Iimit free speech?

Isn't such seIf-censorship

cause for concern?

-You're in a powerfuI position.

-The decision was not aII mine.

But you took part in this decision.

You have cIearIy expressed

that this cIip

was so distastefuI that you feeI

obIigated to resign.

I made a mistake, the cIip was

pubIished without my approvaI.

So that's where you draw the Iine?

A fictionaI girI gets...

No, it isn't. Like I said,

this has nothing to do

with my own opinions.

You're putting a cap

on free speech!

These are not

my personaI opinions.

We're taIking about the museum

and my professionaI roIe.

What is it you don't

understand about that?

This is a highIy aIarming future

you're creating for our society.

Quite frankIy, it sucks!

Christian... Christian?

I have questions

about the content of the cIip.

How did the choice faII on

a bIonde beggar girI expIoding?

This just came

from the PR agency.

If you wanted to draw paraIIeIs

to the poverty in the EU,

why not have a dark-haired chiId?

How do you respond to that?

As I was trying to expIain,

I have not deaIt responsibIy...

-Answer the question!
