If You Love (2010) - full transcript

I have a little secret to share

I'm bashful
if a man is naked and bare

Let's take off our clothes
and go on a flight

Show me the map of your tan lines,
let me show you light

I'm doing fucking fine

I'm doing fucking fine

My family was looking for salvation
They didn't give me sex education

I'm obsessing about it
'til I'm insane

I wanna do it on a train or a plane

Let's take off our clothes
and go on a flight

Show me the map of your tan lines,
let me show you light



Let's pour some wine,
I want to make you mine

Let's fly like birds in the sky

Let's pour some wine

Let's take off our clothes
and go on a flight

Show me the map of your tan lines,
let me show you light

Thank you Mervi and Hot Nurses.

Next up is Pera -

who will be singing "Lapin kes?".

Hello again.

Hi.

Did I startle you again?
I didn't mean to.

How's it going?

Is something wrong?

- Everything.
- I know the feeling.



My mother always says -

that you can always start anew
as long as there's life.

She survived the war and everything.

It's an annoying saying, because it
means that you should shape up.

Tell me about yourself.

I don't know what to tell.

Tell me three things you like
and three things you don't like.

- I don't like karaoke.
- Okay. Good.

- Neither do I.
- I don't like lying.

- And I don't like cheese.
- Cheese?

Its texture is somehow disgusting.

Okay.

Tell me what you like.

I like the sea.

I like African food.

And then I like... you.

I can't help it.

If you want

I can be someone else for you

If you want

I can be a mistake out of the blue

If you want, at Christmas
I'll be knocking on your door

If you want,
I won't fight any wars anymore

If you want,
I can be a dog guarding your sleep

I can be yours to keep

If you want

I can make you forget your unease

If you want

I'll let you do whatever you please

If you want,
I can worship your God

If you want,
I'll believe your every facade

If you want,
I'm willing to emigrate anywhere

As long as I can see you there

Because without you
I'm living in a cell

Because without you, oh well

Without you I'm halfway to hell

If you want

I won't repeat your name

Even if you want it

I won't extinguish your flame

If you want,
I'll come busting through rock

If you want,
whatever makes you happy

If you want,
I'll bring Tibet to your bed

I'll move north to northwest
just using my head

Again and again I'm missing you

I remember kissing you

Because without love
I'm living in a cell

And without love, oh well

Without love we're halfway to hell

If you want

If you want

If you want

- Hey, give me a couple of euros.
- I don't have any.

I need money for a beer.

I don't have any.
Go back to your cage.

Take a look at this.

- Let's trade. Give me twenty...
- Twenty?

Okay, a tenner.
You can have this.

- I won't buy stolen goods.
- I'm not a thief.

I found this. I was digging up
bottles from the recycling point -

when I saw a horrible crash.

A sports car hit another car.

There were ambulances and policemen.
I found this at the scene.

- I was hit by a rock.
- What is this?

I crashed with my bike
and fell on a stick.

Here's another. I fell from a swing
on my sunglasses.

- What a little rascal.
- You don't know half of it.

I bet you haven't done
anything naughty.

- Graduate Adebayo, come play with us.
- Okay. Do you want to come?

Luckily I haven't done
anything naughty.

I can't tell him.

I can't tell him.
I don't want to tell him.

I just want to be happy.

Why shouldn't I?
What's so wrong with that?

What do you mean?

Nothing, I was just...

- Hi, I'm Anna.
- Afya.

So you're Toni's girlfriend?
The hospital cleaner.

- Have you been long there?
- I started a couple of weeks ago.

At the same time as Delmar
was brought there.

Did you do your A-levels?
Or haven't you graduated yet?

- I went to school.
- Which one?

- Helsingin normaalilyseo.
- Where do you live then?

- On Ketunleip?tie.
- The school isn't in our district.

Do you live at home?

- No. Why do you ask?
- I was just wondering.

Did you leave your necklace home?

- No, I don't think so.
- Come on, Afya.

- You have a beautiful name.
- It means "shadow".

- I won't look at the mirror
- I want to forget

I want to leave you behind

- The city's full of memories
- I've gotta get away

- I don't want to face them
- I've gotta get away

- And I know this is stupid
- I've gotta get away

But I can't stay

I didn't stare after you
when you left after our kiss

It was the best and the last

I tried to be so strong
I tried to hold my head high

But look at me now,
I'm like a drenched dog

- Many miles behind me
- The engine is revving up

The longing begins to ease

- The city's full of memories
- I've gotta get away

- I don't want to face them
- I've gotta get away

And although
it will be easier tomorrow

I can't stay here

- Someone was asking about you.
- Who?

I don't know.
She didn't tell her name.

A dark-skinned girl
with big golden earrings.

- What did she ask?
- When you started and all that.

At first I thought she was waiting
for you, but she didn't know you.

Then she left. Who was she?

Anna.

- Father woke up for a moment.
- Really?

We're waiting for the doctor -

but it's possible
that father will recover.

- I'm so happy!
- I can see that.

Sorry. I'm Anna Helminen.

- Sofia Adebayo.
- Nice to meet you.

Mother...

Anna, would you like to
eat dinner with us?

- Anna, do you want coffee?
- Yes, please.

- Have you tasted African coffee?
- Not that I recall.

Thats a strange way to talk.

Thank you, Anna.

- Let's do each others' hair.
- I have beads and hair clips.

- Really?
- We'll be leaving soon.

- Where are you going?
- To Anna's place.

- Don't go!
- We'll come with you.

No, you won't, you piglets.

- Should we go?
- Okay, that's enough.

Go now.

- It was nice to meet you, Anna.
- Likewise.

Bye.

This is horrible.

- It doesn't matter.
- No?

At first nothing happens,
and then...

...it does.

This is horrible.
I'm going to kill myself.

- No, you won't! Stop that!
- Don't try to stop me!

Silly.

- You're wonderful.
- No, you're wonderful.

Too wonderful.

Basically this is all your fault.

Okay.

Hello there.

- How do you feel?
- Toni...

- How are you?
- I'm tired.

You need some rest.

Father, guess what?

I'm in love.

- Is she a good girl?
- Yes.

She's the best.

Just rest.

Love me now,
when everyone else is gone

When shadows creep across the floor

I'll take off my shoes
because you're a burning bush

Stop the funeral,
the departed is missing

A crow flies over a field
and doesn't shed a tear

Cafeterias open their doors

Today a traffic accident will take
away someone's body of steel

Do we still have beer?

Father?

Father! Father!

Help! Someone! Help!

Luckily I have you.

I would die now without you.

The number cannot be reached...

- Hanna.
- Hi. Where are you?

- We're in Budapest.
- We're in Buda, not in Pest.

I see. Is Ada there?

- What do you mean? She's not here.
- She's not there?

- Where is she then?
- With you in the Caribbean.

MINISTER'S DAUGHTER
MISSING FOR WEEKS

Harri, Ada's coming here.

- Is she alright?
- She sounded fine.

Sunrise on a frosty morning

The land is beautiful

Everybody has time to celebrate

Let's go again

We're partying again,
but we don't regret it

We're tired,
but there's no time to sleep

We're partying again,
but we don't regret it

We don't feel sorry for our past

It's not our fault the world is
crooked and the clock runs backwards

We're partying again,
but we don't regret it

We're tired,
but there's no time to sleep

We're partying again,
but we don't regret it

We don't feel sorry for our past

It's not our fault the world is
crooked and the clock runs backwards

Ada.

You lied to me.

- I'm truly sorry.
- What an earth you were thinking?

Luckily you're fine.

Where's mother?

- What do you mean?
- How come?

Why do you ask about your mother?

Your mother is dead.

- When?
- When you were a little girl.

She died in a car accident.

A drunk driver killed her.

- No...
- Ada.

Where have you been?
What has happened?

Ada, what has happened?

I've done the worst possible thing.

MINISTER'S DAUGHTER MISSING

This is what we're going to do.
We'll forget the whole thing.

- What?
- Just keep quiet. They'll handle it.

- How?
- We'll settle out of court.

- I intend to confess.
- No, you won't.

I have to. I'm in love.

What does it have to do with this?

I can't do this. I'm in love.

- I heard you the first time.
- I love Adebayo's son.

Toni Adebayo.

Hi.

Mervi said that you'd be here.

I have to tell you something.

About your father
and that car crash.

I know.

- How?
- Shut up. I know your game.

- Let me...
- Shut up! Shut up!

I love you.
I've never loved anyone else.

"I'm so sorry."

I don't remember anything.

- I don't know who I am.
- Neither do I.

I tried to tell you... many times -

but I couldn't because you said
you'd die without me.

I thought that when your
father would be better -

you would forgive me.

Forgive you?

I should kill you.

Kill me then.

Kill me.

- You might remember Hanna.
- I can't remember you either.

But you loved Hanna.

Hello.

- Hi, Little Bean.
- I can't remember you.

But I remember you.

It feels like you were gone
for ten years -

and came back.

She

She made me believe

She made me hope

And more

She

She made me laugh

She made me sing

She gave me a song

She

She was a good fairy

She was the queen of the night

Now it's nothing more
than a name for a song

She

When summer turns to autumn
and I see leaves flying

I feel the same longing

When she's away

She

She made me laugh

She made me sing

She gave me a song

She

I'm tuning my guitar again

And I hear the familiar tinkling

Like she was here with me

That's the deal. 100000 euros
for not pressing charges.

And an agreement
to maintain secrecy.

Let's go.

Are you really considering it?

- Tell them to stuff their euros!
- Toni!

- In coins!
- You put me and father to shame.

I accept the deal.

Toni will study political science.

He needs money for his studies.

Luckily he won't study law.

Toni.

Hi. How's it going?

I love you.

I've always loved you.

I know I'm not Anna
or whatever her name is -

but I've always loved you.

I would never betray you.

Say something.

Why did you have to meddle?
Why did you...

You should have let it go.
I didn't want to know.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

This is just so unfair. So unfair.

What's been going on?

Nothing much. Except this morning,
when I looked in the mirror -

I thought my eyes were brown
when in reality they're green.

I was puzzled. It was out of sight.

Sorry we didn't stop you
from taking that car.

We were afraid
because we had given you pills.

- Then we went on holiday.
- And you tried to pull Niko.

- Niko who?
- My boyfriend.

- Did I try to pick up your boyfriend?
- Always.

- I'm truly sorry.
- So you don't remember a thing?

No, I don't.
The doctors said it's psychological.

They did all the tests.
There's nothing wrong with me.

Cool. My father told me
your father will buy you a pad.

I don't know.

I've got a one-bedroom apartment.
Muru's my roommate.

- We should get an espresso machine.
- And our own barista.

A lovely Italian man.
Like Francesco Totti.

Yeah, Totti!

Is this Mervi Takalo?

This is Anna... or Ada...
or whoever I might be.

- It's good to see you.
- I don't know about that.

- I look horrible.
- No, you don't.

- You're pretty.
- I've met a man.

- But it came to nothing.
- Why?

He's a shoemaker.
They're all high on shoe polish.

- We're going playing.
- Okay.

How are you?
Is your memory recovering?

- You never know.
- Do you want it back?

I don't know. Toni's family
will not press charges.

My studies will begin soon.

My father's buying me an apartment.

- Life goes on.
- That's good.

Are you still thinking about Toni?

I remember the first time
I kissed you

I remember how much I was afraid

I remember saying
something beautiful to you

Something I've always
wanted to say

Don't leave me,
I need you

Don't you ever go away
Don't you ever go away

I wanted to love more than ever

I wanted to give you
anything I could

I tried to be good and friendly

I wanted you to know
how much I care

Don't leave me,
I need you

Don't you ever go away,
don't you ever go away

Don't leave me,
I need you

Don't you ever go away,
don't you ever go away

- Are you ready?
- Yes.

Your hair is flat,
but it'll have to do.

Goddamn it...

Go ahead.

Hello, my name is Ada Helminen.

I want to confess that I stole a car
when I was drunk -

and crashed it.

I accidentally killed
Delmar Valentin Adebayo.

On June 2nd 2009,
Helminen was driving a car -

with the licence plate OGX-942...

while inebriated.

Involuntary manslaughter
on July 1st, 2009.

Helminen has...

Please stand up.

- Do you concede these charges?
- Yes, I do.

Toni, where are you going?

Toni, will you call me tonight?

Out of my room!

Get out! Don't touch my stuff!

Do you understand?
Get going.

What? It's my room.

Someone has to discipline them.

- Inya called me today.
- Why?

- You spent the night with Afya.
- So what? What is it to Inya?

- What you were doing there?
- You don't want to know.

Where are you going?

Someone has to visit Ada.
I can see it's not going to be you -

so I will go.

- Ada who?
- Ada Helminen who is in prison.

How can you say that whore's
name in my father's house?

Do you know what is worse
than father's death?

- Nothing!
- The person you've become.

I love you more than anything.

Your father loved you too.

What would he say now?

We survived the war
and had you.

Do you understand what it means?
You have the chance to live.

You're flushing your life
down the toilet.

It's like you drink poison
and wish Anna would die.

I mean Ada.

I guess they are
two different people.

But love...

She crossed her fingers
and looked at the heavens above

And was thankful
because she'd been blessed with love

She wished for much
but she was given even more

But there was one thing
she had ignored

Only for a short time
love is like driven snow

It is pure like snowfall
in February's morning glow

Oh how I wish it would
shine a little longer

But it will always fade away
when the darkness gets stronger

When the bitterness begins
it rarely stops

And there's a small eternity
between teardrops

When a child falls asleep
on your lap after a long day

Or asks you to come home to stay

Only for a short time
love is like driven snow

It is pure like snowfall
in February's morning glow

Oh how I wish it would
shine a little longer

But it will always fade away
when the darkness gets stronger

Only for a short time
love is like driven snow

It is pure like snowfall
in February's morning glow

Oh how I wish it would
shine a little longer

But it will always fade away
when the darkness gets stronger

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- I'm okay.

Mervi visited me yesterday.

She dares to come visit me
because this is a women's prison.

If there were men here,
she would fall in love.

How are you holding up here?

At first it was terrible -

but now life goes on more steadily.

I'm not as scared as before.

- How's your life?
- Nothing special.

I work, my studies suffer.

I'm tormenting
my sisters and my mother.

I...

...try to forgive you.

But it's so damn hard.

I know.

But I can't help you with that.

I guess not.

You have to forgive every day.

That's why it's so hard.

I was surprised when
I heard about your visit.

- Were you delighted?
- Maybe a little.

- A little?
- Yeah.

- It's not easy to meet you.
- Likewise.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

- I just remembered one thing.
- What?

"It's cobra. Have some more cobra."

- Deep-fried cobra.
- Sweet and sour mouse.

Sweet and sour...

I guess this is yours.

If you love the cold moon

Things and book covers

Car doors and metal skins

I won't come with to the seashore

And I won't draw your picture
in the sand

If you love windows

Silver mugs, sable furs

A guest book with a leather spine

I smile at you
from across the street

But I won't go with you
to a fancy restaurant -

to eat goose breast

If you love sailing

Travelling and the Canary Islands

You will go away
and I will remain here

And I remember you
without longing

I remember the morning
when the wind blew in my hair

And took away your photo

If you love banknotes

I will help you to spend them

And I will give you
anything you want

But I won't give you my heart

If you love books too much

I will ask you
what will happen to me

When you know me from cover to cover

And my plots will bore you

And you remember everything by heart

If you love little girls
and little boys

Dogs, grandmothers, old maids,
salad and celery root

Roast mutton, spring mornings

Lonely men at cold stations

I will come with you to the seashore

And I will draw your picture
in the sand

And I will draw your picture
in the sand

And I will draw your picture
in the sand

And I will draw your picture
in the sand

Your picture in the sand

Hey, listen to me.
This thing goes like this...

Hey, it's not true that I'm stupid

Because I'm not good at school

I don't feel like listening,
I don't bother reading

My thoughts are elsewhere

But I'm not stupid!
Do you hear me, world?

And it's not true
that I'm naughty

Because I fight the law

I disagree,
and I can't stand all the rules

But I'm not naughty!
Do you hear me, world?

I'm beautiful, I'm bold, I'm free

I was born to win

Why can't you understand -

that sometimes
it's hard to be young?

Why can't you accept -

that I can have ideas too?

It's not true that I'm ugly -

because I don't wear fancy clothes

Like rich kids who laugh at me
and make fun of my clothes

But I'm not ugly!
Do you hear me, world?

And it's not true
that I'm nothing -

because I'm not the best at anything

My life's mine and nobody else's,
I won't let anyone control it

I can be anything!
Do you understand, world?

I'm beautiful, I'm bold, I'm free

I was born to win

Why can't you understand -

that sometimes
it's hard to be young?

Why can't you accept -

that I can have ideas too?

I'm beautiful, I'm bold, I'm free

I was born to win

You're beautiful,
you're bold, you're free

You were born to win

We are beautiful, we are bold,
we are free

We were born to win

You're beautiful!
