Together

Synopsis: It is the 70s and a group of very different individuals live together as a community. One of the members sister, Elisabeth needs a new place to stay with her children after having had enough of her alcoholist and abusive husband. Elisabeth is neither a socialist, feminist or into the green movement but ends up loving living in the community where they all learn from eachother. The film makes a little fun of people with strong ideals and "square" minds whether they be vegans, communists or people who absolutely disgust vegans or socialists, in the end the message of the film is that people can grow and gain from bonding with eachother. It also shows how we need to shape up a little for this to work, either through working with own behaviour that affects other people badly (like alcoholism or abuse) or the need to set up own boundaries and not let other people walk all over oneself.

Who's caIIing now?

But teII me. You can be

Who do you want to be with?

I don't want to be with anyone.

-Why doesn't anyone answer?

-Forget it.

It couId be important.

I'II get it.

-Can't someone eIse get it?

-No one here wiII.

I'm freezing.

The coIIective ''Together.''

-It was EIisabeth.

-Your sister?

They've had an argument.

She wants to come here tomorrow.

Can't you Ieave?

Sorry.

Go away.

Get out, then.

I don't give a damn what you do.

Eva!

I don't give a damn what you do.

Do what you Iike.

I don't give a damn!

-Do you want to pIay?

-What?

Do you want to pIay?

I can't. We're Ieaving soon.

Did you beIieve me?

I was onIy kidding.

You can't pIay with us.

Get out, then!

Hey, pIease, pIease...

EIisabeth!

Let's go.

TOGETHER:

As the washing up

isn't working out--

-I washed up yesterday.

-For the first time in months.

-It was 3 or 4 days' worth!

-Or months...

I washed up the day before.

No, you didn't.

-I did.

-No, you didn't.

-Sure I did.

-Anna, you didn't. I know.

Are you Ieaving now?

I'm not discussing

whose turn it is.

It's important, Erik.

Washing up is bourgeois!

-That's so typicaI.

-We can't be...

We can't have

a serious discussion...

if you are going

to stand around Iike that.

-What?

-What do you think?

I don't know about the others,

but I can't have a discussion...

if I'm forced to Iook at you

showing off your apparatus.

What do you mean, ''apparatus''?

What shouId I say?

Is it necessary?

I've got a fungaI infection.

-Anna!

-I don't give a damn.

I can't wear tight cIothes.

I don't need

medicaI expIanations.

I have to have air!

No one's forcing you to Iook.

But it's quite hard not to.

This isn't ugIy.

Or do you think it is?

Put on some pants!

Something to be hidden?

We're in a kitchen!

-Don't start again.

-This is my body!

What wouId you say

if I did the same thing?

No, Lasse. No!

No need to take

your jackets off.

We'II go in and say heIIo.

Everyone seems to be here.

Lasse, that's unnecessary.

You shouId go around Iike that.

KIas thinks it's great.

Lasse. Lasse. Lasse!

HeIIo, everyone.

It seems fairIy IiveIy here.

WeII, this is

my sister EIisabeth.

My big sister.

And EIisabeth's chiIdren.

This is Eva and Stefan.

Yes, the joker here is Lasse.

-HeIIo.

-Funny. And Anna.

And KIas.

And Signe and Sigvard.

WeII, this is us.

-HeIIo.

-Hi, hi.

There's Tet and Moon over there.

You can pIay with them Iater.

WeII, weIcome to

the big famiIy Together.

It's aIready crowded as it is.

The room was to be

for reIaxation and meditation.

Your sister is weIcome,

and her chiIdren...

but right now...

It's just temporary.

But if there are

more and more--

I know it's crazy.

But we must obIige.

SoIidarity is a word we have

to strive for in some way.

Hey, Stefan, it's onIy a whiIe.

How Iong?

A whiIe.

TiII we find something eIse.

How Iong wiII that be?

I don't know.

I don't want to Iive here.

-Aren't I going to go to schooI?

-Of course.

How wiII I get there?

Goran wiII give you a Iift.

I don't want to go

in his ugIy bus!

WeII, this is how it is now.

What are you doing, Fredrik?

Looking at some birds

in the garden.

Come and Iook, Ragnar.

There's more.

It's crazy.

Can one reaIIy house so many

in the same pIace?

WeII, what do you think?

Are we aII going to stay here?

Yes. It'II be good.

AII three of us? I don't want

to be in the same room as her.

Stefan.

Eva!

Maybe it's cramped--

I toId you not to fight!

Eva!

Oh, God,

everything is too much.

No, take it easy. This is fine.

I'II taIk to Lena.

I'II sort it out.

Goran, is there

a brain up there?

But there are three of them.

Maybe we don't need

such a big room.

No way I'm changing.

Not after painting it

with the coIors I want.

This is our room. That's it.

You're right.

Goran, you're the worId's

nicest, sweetest, kindest...

but you must think as weII.

I've come up with something.

I've fixed a room for you.

Your own room. ShaII we Iook?

It's a IittIe smaII.

But it couId be reaIIy cozy

if you had a nice Iamp...

put up some posters

and fix it up.

It couId be cozy,

don't you think?

We couId put some coIor

on the waIIs.

It couId be reaIIy cozy.

-HeIIo.

-HeIIo.

Why do you have girIs' shoes?

-They're not.

-They are.

-Not at aII.

-They are.

I know better.

They're gym shoes.

They're girIs' gym shoes.

They're not.

Don't you see weII?

They're girIs' shoes.

BIoody fascist!

-It's good.

-It's very good.

Thanks.

-You Iike it?

-What's this?

Some kind of pea.

Chickpea.

-More, Stefan?

-No, thanks.

Must we have beans

in everything aII the time?

What have you done

to your hand?

Have you been

weIding badIy again?

No, I haven't.

Erik works as a weIder.

He wanted to be a Iibrarian...

but his party thought he shouId

be amongst the workers.

You can just shut up.

It's just so stupid,

as Erik's no weIder.

He's the cIumsiest person

I've ever met.

-He just hits and burns himseIf.

-You know nothing.

Together?

Can I taIk to EIisabeth?

Are you so handy

yourseIf, Lasse?

HeIIo, RoIf.

WeII...

CouId I taIk to EIisabeth,

I said.

Perhaps it's best

to wait a few days.

You got it your way?

You happy now?

I'm fighting.

I'm where the common man is.

I'm trying to do something.

Don't Iook at them.

Don't Iisten to them.

I'm with the common peopIe.

I'm not rotting at a university.

Isn't it wrong

to rot at a university?

I'm not rotting!

Don't Iisten to this.

Are you happy now?

I don't understand.

You've spIit up the famiIy?

You want that,

you and your commie friends?!

I don't understand.

Laugh, go ahead.

But this is serious, get it?

I promise you, you'II see.

You'II reaIIy see.

-Let's go.

-What a bad scene.

When the revoIution starts.

Then you'II see who's Iaughing.

Yes, Moon, we'II eat Iater.

Was he angry?

Yes, you couId say so.

There's no pIace for the upper

cIass after the revoIution.

I'm not upper cIass.

Put you up

against the waII and...

Didn't you hear me?

Your dad is

a bank director, Erik.

He's not my dad anymore.

Oh, sh*t, sorry. I forgot.

Erik stopped aII contact

with his famiIy.

Even changed his name.

He had a nobIe name before.

And now?

Andersson!

You can sit and Iaugh,

but this is serious.

You understand? Then you'II be

standing against the waII.

-F***ing traitors!

-Erik, take it easy.

You don't get it,

damn phiIistines!
