Good evening. We are in the need of a bit...

sorry a lot of company.

Since you're by far the pretties women

around, could we treat you two to drinks?

You'll just throw in some knockout drops.

- We don't have to.

Well, the seats are free.

- Put it on the bill.

My son. He's shockingly talented.

How did you know that I like whisky?

You looked like that.

Why isn't there any music? Where's the band?

- There are enough musicians around.

Where?

- Here! Timo.

I don't really feel like it.

- Come on!

You want to bet that neither

of them can play a single note?

Tenner.

- Sure.

Come girls, come and dance.

You're pretty.

What is it?

- Shall we go to your room?

Well.. okay.

This is it.

- It's nice, bigger than ours.

Okay.

I'll put on some music.

What's next?

- You tell me.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Who's there?

- It's me, Maarit! Open up!

It's mom.

Your father's not well.

How's your blood sugar?

- What sugar?

What are you going on about?

Just a little stronger orgasm.

Goddammit, this will get expensive.

Have you noticed that the meter is in red?

What meter?

- The gas meter.

F***!

- What now?

The chick cleaned me!

- What tricksters.

They cleaned me as well.

Let's go back!

- They're far gone.

And it was worth it, wasn't it?

Father and son in adventure!

How do we get gas?

- What?

How do we get gas?

- I have two euros.

The one is from mom,

the other I had for myself.

Use the one with cashier payment.

- With two euros?

No, fill it up and off we go.

Lumijoki. Lumi...

How far are we from Rovaniemi?

- What's there?

Where do your kid and ex-wife live at?

We're not going there.

- Of course we are, we're this close.

I haven't seen them since they left.

- Maybe it's time?

Besides, I want to see my only grandchild.

If Tiia has a new man,

I'm not coming in.

I doubt she has a man.

No new man?

- Come on now.

Come!

Riku!

Someone's there. Stay here.

What are you creeping here?

- What the hell are you doing here?

We were just driving by. - No, we weren't.

We came specifically for this.

This is my father.

- Hi, Lumi.

Grandpa bought you a surprise gift.

I can come anytime to fix the shelf.

- I'll call you.

We should take the speaker cords

trough the wall so that she won't trip.

I'll bring a hammer drill next time. Isn't

this a wooden house? I'll bring it anyway.

I'll call you.

- Yes, call.

You were given a kite.

- I can fly this with you.

We'll go out.

- Sure. Would you like some coffee?

I want coffee.

- Yes, please.

Go, go!

- What?

Fool. Just say you want milk.

Big guy.

- Who?

This fixer.

How are you doing?

- We?

We're fine.

You have a new wading pool.

I said I'd be sending one.

Riku got it.

An old from his sister's family.

It's been so hot summer.

Did the one that I sent arrive?

- Yes. I have it.

It's there.

I'll go see what they are doing.

- Yeah.

Look! Did it rise?

You need to run.

- This won't fly anywhere.

Yes it will.

Let daddy show.

Look at this, Lumi.

Runway's too short.

- Look here!

Let's go! Look!

It will fly!

What a butterfly!

- Look, Lumi!

The stall of Pirkko and Kalle.

Hello? Hello?

No one answered?

- No.

Where's Lumi?

- Upstairs.

This tale is about the best gooseberry

in the world. Do you what it is?

Okay. The monk turned 40

and had never dared to go

into the jungle.

Since it was his birthday

he decided to a little further.

He started to follow a path.

Suddenly he heard panting behind him.

A large tiger was following him.

He increased his speed but tiger

wouldn't go away.

It wasn't in a hurry. It knew that

the monk was there for the taking.

The Monk started running and

came into a dead end.

There was a huge gorge in front of him,

at least 600 meters.

A few meters below was a ledge.

Just as the tiger was about to scratch,

the monk jumped on to the ledge.

He thought he was safe.

But there was an entrance to a cave,

another tiger was approaching from there.

The man saw a branch, grabbed on to it

held tight and bent his feet.

The other tiger scratched his knuckles,

the other his soles.

The monks hands started to get tired.

He thought about putting the branch

in his mouth and rest his hands.

At the same time he noticed

a beautiful gooseberry at his reach.

He couldn't contain himself.

He put it in his mouth

and understood that it must've been

the best gooseberry in the world.

It was also the last one he ate.

Oh well.

You should get some sleep.

She's sleeping.

Does he still play at night?

- Timo?

I don't think so.

He used to play the piano all night long

even thought we had a small child.

Do you even want to know...

- I do. Please tell me.

Let's say that...

I don't want to live with a person

whom I have to be afraid of.

I understand.

My mom lives near and

I've longed to be back here.

To be rooted in someplace.

- Listen...

This other man,

did you know him from before?

No!

I don't have another man.

- Then who is this fixer?

He's a co-worker. He's recently divorced

and doesn't know how to be alone.

I'm not so desperate that

I'd pick the first man who says hello.

Timo would like to apologise to you.

Did he say that?

- He did.

I think I'll go to sleep.

Good night.

- Good night.

Your father went to sleep.

- Right.

I heard you wanted to apologise.

- Me?

Yes, your father said so.

I didn't want it to go like this.

Neither did I.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hi, Lumi. Come here.

How are you doing?

Good.

- Good? Have you been having fun?

I've missed you.

What have you and mom been doing?

- I haven't been with mother.

I've been with Anna and Pete.

- Okay.

We had a sleepover.

- Are Anna and Pete your friends?

Yes, and Elvis.

- Elvis?

Elvis licks me sometimes.

- Really? Is Elvis a dog?

Today, when we arrived

A dark, big boy with a mustache

was here. Do you remember?

He was banging nails on the wall.

- Yes.

Does he come here often?

- Yes.

Has mom been having fun with him?

- Yes.

I've missed you terribly.

Come lie with me.

To Kemijrvi.

Good morning, Huiske.

Pirkko, hi.

- Leo...

Here's some flowers.

I picked them myself...

from a gas station.

Listen... I have Timo with me.

- Where?

I thought it'd be better

if we two met first.

I've been to his concerts.

Have you told about me?

You can tell him yourself.

His foster mother is dead.

Come in.

I'll make coffee.

- Thanks.

I thought they caught you, when you

didn't return from buying cigarettes.

The surveillance pictures were on the news.

It scared the hell out of me.

I waited two days in our hotel room.

I sat there on the bed amid all the empty

champagne bottles with the money on my lap

and ate peanuts.

Someone knocked.

I was sure that it's the police.

It was Kalle, our driver.

- Yeah.

He said that you and I were

celebrities. Like Bonnie and Clyde.

He got me out of there

and we hid the money to Hollola.

And drove off to the country.

- To our cottage? Is it still there?
