Tom Of Finland

- That wasn't so bad.

- We'll wait for the next one.

- Good bye, Laaksonen.

- Good bye.

Good evening.

Come here.

Aircraft warning! Fire! 13:00.

Bomber, 30:
00. Two guns. Fire!

Laaksonen.

Sir.

You can call me Heikki.

Touko Laaksonen. Touko.

Thank you.

Do you have dreams, Touko?

I don't know about that.

What would you like to do

when the war is over?

I mean,

besides taking walks in the park.

Play the piano.

- And draw.

- An artist.

- Well...

- Louvre.

Laaksonen among the great masters there?

No one from my hometown

has even been to Paris.

You'll have a big opening party.

You'll invite me.

I'll tell everyone I know you.

You have to have dreams in life.

The Eastern Front is breaking down.

We'll be transferred there.

There are too many Russians.

Way too many.

I'll tell the boys

they have to have dreams...

...and think about winning.

Well...

Sir. Heikki.

You can keep it.

Let's go.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

I talked to my boss.

He promised you can give it a try

at our company.

- How come?

- I showed him your work.

That landscape you painted for Dad.

Your boss will change his mind

when he sees me.

C'mon. We need money.

Your veteran discount

isn't helping that much.

Do you even know how much

cheese costs on the black market?

Alrighty. You're feeling better, huh?

- You're looking like yourself again.

- Am I?

Well, at least you vaguely resemble

my brother.

- I got a straight line.

- What straight line?

I marked the obituaries

of all my friends

who said they'd quit smoking.

Born in 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925.

Brother, dear, the war is over.

Damn it, a Russky.

Touko. Touko.

I'm here. Everything's OK.

Everything's OK.

Everything's OK.

Everything's OK. Everything's OK.

Why wouldn't everything be OK?

Give it to me.

You have to find someone

you can share your life with.

Someone who'll look after you.

Someone special.

I had someone in the war.

Wow. What happened?

Well, what usually happens in war.

- From the women's auxiliary corps?

- No.

You're totally confused.

It's the war. It made you like that.

But it'll pass.

You just have to work and meet people.

A lot of girls would want

a handsome officer like you.

You got that medal

because you fought bravely, right?

- I guess so.

- Pull yourself together. Enjoy life.

Good night.

Good night.

He's a f*ggot!

Get out or I'll call the police!

You need to know how to behave here.

I'll ban you for a month. Minimum.

Ban me for life while you're at it.

Thanks, honey.

- What's your name?

- Nipa.

- You want to see something?

- I'd rather do something.

Wow.

May I keep this?

- Stop!

- Police!

- Stop!

- Stop!

Stop.

Police! Stop in the name of the law!

You, over there! Stop.

Police! I got one of them.

- Stay where you are.

- Police!

- Who is this fellow?

- Good evening. What's happening?

We're clearing the park of criminals.

- Why do you have to do that?

- For the Olympics.

Are you interested in javelin,

pole-vaulting,

- or perhaps wrestling?

- Javelin.

Good. Then hurry up

before the spear throwers are here.

Yes, we'll do our best.

- And your name is?

- Get in the car.

Kake.

- Did you sleep well?

- Fantastically. You?

- Fantastically.

- Great.

All right, let's go.

Laaksonen,

I can't take this to a client.

Do something.

Excuse me.

Can you come with me?

It'll take just a moment.

Please sit on the couch.

Maria, could you come here for a moment?

A moment, please.

Uh...

Make eye contact.

No, not with me. With Maria.

Good. Pretend it's morning.

The first morning

after you've been... intimate.

Think about naughty things.

That's it. Think about

what it feels like to touch each other.

That's it.

Gabriel, think a little harder.

Touch her in a way that shows

the electricity between you.

Good.

- Guess what?

- W hat?

- The boss said he's happy with you.

- That's great.

- What are you doing?

- Working. Working.

I'm promoting the consumption

of useless things by unethical means.

Ha-ha. Let me see.

- No.

- Are you afraid I will laugh at you?

- No, no, no.

- I promise.

- Well?

- No, no.

What?

Sit down.

Sit!

No.

- C'mon. You have a beautiful face.

- No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.

- Hmm.

Stop.

- Well?

- All right.

I don't know if I want to see it.

- I don't look like that.

- I think you do.

- I'm not that beautiful.

- Yes, you are.

Those legs.

You never learned how to draw legs.

Those look like sticks.

Let me show you how.

Give me that block.

Well?

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Be careful or you'll pop a vein.

- Ten seconds.

- No, no, no.

- One...

- No!

- Two, three, now.

- Now!

- You're unbelievably good.

- No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

I've been thinking that...

...some day I might like

to have my own exhibition.

- Why some day? Why not tomorrow?

- No.

How can you be an artist

- if nobody sees your work?

- Nobody wants to see it.

And look who's talking.

You won't even show yours to me.

Passports, please! Passports, please.

Thank you.

Fun.

Passport, please. Passport, please.

Hello, handsome.

- Don't go.

- You want something?

Are you lost?

How is the pheasant hunt going?

You might want to ask him.

English or German?

Are you leaving?

Name three streets that intersect

with Runeberginkatu Street in Helsinki.

Apollonkatu, Hesperiankatu

and Topeliuksenkatu Street.

You grew up in Kaarina.

Why don't you speak the dialect?

My parents were teachers.

This is how we spoke at home.

Why did you have a strange man

in your hotel room?

A man, you say,

stole your passport and wallet.

We talked about pheasant hunting.

Is this yours?

It was found in your room.

Well, I'll return to Finland.

Based on your answers,

I can't confirm you're Finnish.

In German eyes,

you're either a spy or a criminal.

But I know what you are.

I'll report to Consul Alijoki

that the man arrested

by the German police is not Finnish.

I'll let these gentlemen

interrogate you. That's it.

Heikki.

- What?

- Heikki Tapio Alijoki.

Captain Heikki Alijoki.

From the Helsinki Coastal Artillery,

during the war.

- What about him?

- I know him.

- May I speak to him?

- About what?

Pheasant hunting.

- Do you know this man?

- No.

I'm Lieutenant Laaksonen.

We fought together

in Tahtitorninmaiki Hill Park.

We had a number of close calls.

There were no battles

in Tahtitorninmaiki Hill Park.

I meant the air battles over Helsinki.

We served together. I sewed under you.

I see. I see.

Can we speak in private for a moment?

Of course.

Is this some trap?

- Are you trying to trap me?

- I'm the one who's trapped.

- How did you know I was here?

- I didn't.

Your name was mentioned.

I see. I see.

- We know each other. We're both...

- You can't say it.

We're both officers.

This is ridiculous.

Much ado about nothing.

You're asking for trouble

with pictures like these.

It's just a piece of paper.

A dirty picture someone drew for fun.

It's not just a piece of paper.
