Umur Page #2

---

Nothing?

Why didn't you open the present?

You know what it is? It's...

I painted a picture for you.

There's a mountain and some snow,

the stars and the moon. And a man.

You can especially see...

The Plough and the North Star,

the Stella Polaris.

Glowing up there, like the moon.

Remember when I told you?

There's the man sitting

alone under the arch of sky.

Alone in the wilderness. He's...

He's sitting there and thinking...

about you...

Isn't he a funny boy?

Writing letters, saying he loves me.

Can you imagine, me!

What?

What, what, what?

Go to hell! Go away!

Hey, can I spend the night

at your place again?

The last bus has gone.

Why are you taking them there?

What do you mean?

You wanted to stay here.

What are you doing? You've spent

the night here before... sleeping.

Looked like you broke up with him.

-You don't understand this.

Understand? I saw it myself.

I love that man.

I sent Umur a cactus, not a rose.

Roses wither,

but a cactus stays alive.

It endures the drought for a long

time, and some day it will bloom.

New snow will fall.

New tracks will appear on the snow,

a new fall of snow will cover them.

It's hard to begin...

I think about you often,

but I let it pass.

We can meet some time

in the future -

but no one knows when,

and it mustn't be planned.

You can build a life for yourself,

but do it without me.

Don't start anything that doesn't

have a future. At least for me.

What's wrong with me...

I don't always know that myself.

I'm confused about a lot of things.

Someone had brought

a dog to the border.

Her owners had died

in a car accident.

She'll be put to sleep unless

they find a new home for her.

Her name is Taika.

So you're Taika.

How's it going?

You're already wagging your tail.

Want to come with me?

What? We're going, we're going!

Let's take a break.

There aren't any over there!

Look, Taika.

I was here before with a girl.

Her name is Umur.

They're only here! Here!

Maybe they're all duds,

there are so many.

There were more at Menesjrvi.

From the ammunition store. These

have been dropped from a plane.

Good thing we've eaten.

There'll be a bigger pile of sh*t

left if we get blown up by these.

You go and start a fire.

We'll be there soon for coffee.

They haven't exploded by

themselves for fifty years.

People prepare themselves

for a thousand years of youth.

You have to have entertainment

not to get bored with your youth.

Special effects.

We've traded this wilderness

for entertainment.

Taika, as you can see

they've developed a super tree.

But it's not this one.

This used to be just a regular tree.

For that and other reasons...

Bloody hell!

I've decided to leave the border.

How do you like that?

I bought an Inter Rail card

and travelled to Europe.

In Malaga I decided I'd had enough.

I checked the timetables and

sent an express letter to Umur -

as a test, some bait:

I'll come then and on that train.

I yearned to be with Umur.

I thought that maybe she'd meet me.

Hello.

Finnish marks, please.

Here's your money... Hello!

Greetings from Malaga.

I'm sorry.

I have to pick up that silly dog.

Something of you

will live inside me -

something of me

will live inside you.

What?

-Nothing! Look out for beasts!

Silly dog!

Hello there!

-What are you, what?

Come on, they don't bite!

So, would you rent it?

ls it wise to leave it empty?

Well no...

Or yes... well no...

Yes... no...

Well... I don't think...

It depends on how you look at it.

If it's cold in winter or

warm in summer, then it's not...

Or if it is, it is,

so I don't think...

It keeps what it keeps...

That may be so,

but is the house for rent?

Well yes... or no...

We'll sleep on it.

Well no... well yes...

no... yes... no...

It's not warm in summer or

cold in winter, unless it is...

It keeps what it keeps.

Wait!

You were supposed to wait!

After dinner,

we were washing the dishes.

I didn't say a word.

Happiness filled my soul.

I thought:

soon I can tell him something.

Don't come here!

It's bright out here!

-You're the one who's dazzling...

Hello? Did it come through?

Hello! It did!

The place is covered in soot!

Great!

Where would you like

to be right now? -Here.

Why not up here?

-It's the wish.

What?

-The wish.

It has come true.

The shooting star.

You're not supposed to tell!

I know.

Let's go.

-Not yet, wait a minute.

We're late.

-I can't make it.

What do you mean?

-This won't take long.

I'm going.

-I'll be right behind you.

Will it take long?

Okay, now we can go.

I'm not going.

-What's the matter?

I can't make it anymore.

Well, I'm going alone then.

My family will be there too.

-Go ahead.

Come on, let's go.

I'm not going.

Well no... well yes... no yes...

All right, we're not going.

-Actually, I'm going.

I'm not.

Neither am l.

We're not going.

We're going.

I'm not going.

-Neither am l.

Well, then I'm going.

Go ahead!

-No I won't.

You won't?

-No.

I'm going.

-Well no... well yes... no yes...

Are you coming?

You'll have to wait here.

We're going to a wedding.

The groom's speech!

Well no... or yes...

She isn't... they aren't...

They're sisters...

Sisters...

and now wives and sisters.

We are brothers...

They used to be waitresses, so

they won't be idle... sweethearts.

We thought about

building a holiday resort.

So we already have waitresses...

A holiday resort.

I make maps with a friend -

walking the areas that have been

unclear in the aerial photos.

Taika goes with me as a map dog.

She likes it. I don't mind either.

It's nice that you both have

wives now... sisters and all.

Well yes... well no...

It isn't... just waitressing.

It'll be all kinds of work...

My wife is there somewhere...

How did it...

a pretty wife like that...

Yes, yes... well of course not...

Yes, she is from there...

I mean, how did you...

such a pretty wife -

does she have

any more sisters there?

Do you know how to tune a guitar?

The last one did.

He would've tuned our piano, but

we didn't have a tuning key. -Mum!

Well, you can check

your wife's mood with it!

A Japanese machine writes the

notes down when you play the piano.

What kind of a machine is that?

Guess they had nothing better to do.

-We know a thing or two round here.

What was the sauna stove

that's always warm?

It's "the instant stove".

-Yes. That's something too.

I used to be with

the border guard as well...

When are you two

going to get married?

So you're sitting over here?

I don't care about

what your mother says.

I wonder if more of those sisters

will come to the village?

I had a bad dream last night.

No one saw me, but still it felt

that someone was watching.

I was dead in that dream.

-Don't be upset...

I've seen all kinds of dreams.

What's the use in brooding

on them? Let them be.

They can't harm us.

Taika, silly dog!

Hello!

-We brought the post on our way.

Well no... yes... no... yes...

A hut! Yes... no... yes... no...
