Together Page #4

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.

Do you understand?

I sat there and Iost my waIIet!

Who's the manager? You?

Someone has taken my waIIet...

and I want it now.

I want my waIIet now!

You'II have to wait a IittIe.

What? I want my waIIet!

Don't you get it?

Hey, you get it?

I want my waIIet! My waIIet!

One, two, three,

and it'II aII go off!

Stay there! Stay!

You must Ieave now.

You standing there grinning,

you f***! You grinning at me?

F***! OK! It's OK!

-Lie down on the fIoor.

-Yes, it's OK.

-Anything sharp on you?

-No! They've taken my waIIet.

Come on, Iet's go.

Go? We're waiting for Dad.

He's not coming.

How Iong have we been here?

You think something's happened?

My chiIdren are standing

on the street...

so can you open up now?

You must Iisten!

You understand?

F***!

Can you Iisten to me?

My chiIdren are standing

out on the street...

and I must be aIIowed

to fetch them.

Stefan, Dad is dumb.

He's probabIy gone

for a beer or something.

-He doesn't give a damn.

-That's not true.

Come on. We can't stay here.

Go if you want to.

Go on, then! BIoody idiot!

BIame yourseIf for getting

no Christmas present.

Did you just Ieave him

in the middIe of town?

Are you crazy?!

-Good night, sweetheart.

-Good night.

SIeep weII.

-Good night.

-Good night.

I Iove you both.

-Good night, Stefan.

-Good night.

Do you think

you'II be abIe to sIeep?

Wait a bit. Why's it Iike this?

Eva, you have a pink cover

and piIIow...

Stefan has a bIue piIIow

and cover.

Why do boys have bIue

and girIs pink?

It's aIways Iike that.

-Can't I change your piIIows?

-I want mine.

This is important.

You have to think about this

when you're an aduIt.

There we go.

That's reaIIy nice.

-SIeep weII.

-SIeep weII.

I thought there was a IittIe

chance it wouId work out.

So totaIIy

bIoody irresponsibIe!

Yes. Forty crowns?

Can you wait a moment?

ShouId we?

Yes, we'II take it. TeII them.

-ShouId we?

-Yes!

HeIIo? Yes,

we'II come straight over.

Anna bought something here

for 3.50...

without writing down

what it was.

They're going to be

reaIIy happy.

UnbeIievabIe.

Goran!

Yes.

We'd decided

we wouIdn't have a TV.

Don't make a fuss.

It's for the chiIdren.

-We weren't going to--

-Yes, but the chiIdren want it.

It's just a secondhand

bIack-and-white...

but a TV anyway.

It's reaIIy nice.

Great, huh, Stefan?

See if it works.

What do you think?

Have you just bought it?

-I think I know!

-You do?

I think the perch shouId go.

Yes, the perch.

-I think the squirreI shouId go.

-Why?

Because he cIimbs trees.

I think the grouse.

-Because it can fIy?

-But so can the ostrich.

No, they can't.

Maybe the fish. It can swim

and the squirreI can't.

Is that your decision? Is it?

It's wrong! It's wrong!

We had big expectations

of this coIIective.

But we can't go on.

We've decided to move

to Mother Earth.

Just because of

an oId, shitty TV?

Of course it's not just the TV.

Yes, is it

Pippi Longstocking again?

Pippi Longstocking?

They thought we shouId

throw it away...

because Pippi is a capitaIist.

She's a materiaIist as weII.

-She is!

-It's a chiIdren's book!

There's nothing to discuss.

Just read the book.

The eternaI search after things.

Things, things, things.

Then this big bag

of goId coins.

You're crazy.

Pippi is f***ing great!

-CaIm down.

-You're speaking aggressiveIy.

We couId cite severaI exampIes

in a caIm manner.

Like when Lasse

started growing cannabis...

on haIf the potato patch.

It was one pIant.

It upsets me.

On the one hand...

I understand when you say

we shouId distance ourseIves...

but on the other hand,

you shouId--

Don't you hear how you sound?

''On the one hand,

on the other hand...''

You want to pIease everyone.

It wiII end with you

breaking in two.

You can't go on Iike that.

Drive carefuIIy.

It's better you arrive Iater

than not at aII.

-Goodbye, Lasse.

-Bye.

Goodbye. We won't miss you.

Lasse!

Can't we pIay footbaII?

Yes, footbaII!

Come on! FootbaII!

What teams?

GirIs against the guys!

Aren't you pIaying? Stefan?

No, I can't.

Of course you can. Come on.

I'm so bad.

We aII are. It doesn't matter.

Come on, Eva!

Stefan, you're on that team.

-Pass, Mom!

-WeII done, Tet!

-Come on, Goran!

-Pass!

-Why shout? They scored.

-But it was great.

-BriIIiant, Stefan!

-You're not on my team.

That doesn't matter.

What a shot!

HeIIo?

HeIIo, is that Eva?

Hi, it's Dad.

I...I don't know.

I'm reaIIy sorry

it turned out Iike that.

Eva?

Is that reaI Lego?

Yes, of course.

I haven't got any Lego.

Haven't you?

No. Dad was to make Lego

out of wood for me...

but he onIy made two pieces.

Can I try?

Yeah, you can.

Have you got a pistoI?

I'm not aIIowed

to have war toys.

I shot him.

No, he can't die so easiIy.

Try again.

It was a grenade.

Now he died, anyway.

Say you Iike Pinochet!

Never!

Shut up!

I want to switch.

I want to be Pinochet.

Here come the shocks!

Say you Iike Pinochet!

Say it!

Never! You can put needIes

under my naiIs, too.

You know what I thought?

We never eat meat.

I thought we couId do something.

We want meat!

We want meat!

Yes! I agree with them.

It's not that

the food is horribIe...

but we couId have

a IittIe meat.

Living in a coIIective...

doesn't mean you have

to reject everything.

Anna, say something.

We want meat! We want meat!

OK, chiIdren, you win.

Take money from the housekeeping

and go and buy a hot dog each.

LittIe deviIs.

Buy one for me, too, Stefan.

With ketchup.

Goran, reIax.

It just a IittIe meat.

You Iiked meat before.

Of course you did!

Pork cutIets at Mom's

every Sunday!

-Of course you did!

-Exposed, Goran!

We wouId Iike

eight hot dogs, thanks.

-Eight hot dogs?

-Eight it is.

This is reaIIy good.

Is her name Turid?

Is she Swedish?

I Iike her voice.

It's good, isn't it?

I'II get my favorite.

Want to hear it?

I'II go and fetch it.

It's good, isn't it?

No. You reaIIy Iike this?

It's so romantic.

Love...

Tet is sIeeping.

How are you?

You shouIdn't be

so scared of me.

-I'm not.

-You know what you're scared of?

What aII you heterosexuaI men

are scared of.

That it wiII be as nice

with a man.

Yes, that's it, that's it!

You think that--

Yes, you--

Shh. Tet's sIeeping.

You cIose your eyes, and there's

someone bIowing you...

and it's so...

unbeIievabIy wonderfuI.

And when you open your eyes,

you see...

it's not a woman,

it's a man.

-You understand?

-No.

Of course you do.

It's the same thing.

It's not. I don't understand

why we're discussing this.

I think your wife

has understood something...

which you have not.

Which is?

That there is no difference.

We're aII peopIe.

We can't be dividing ourseIves.

We're the same.

We can't have barriers

Iike that. Why shouId we?

It's nice that you and my wife

are peopIe without barriers.

I have my barriers,

and I'm very happy with them.

-Have you tried it?

-No.

How can you know?

Sh*t, KIasson.

KIasson?

AII right, we'II do it
