Our Own Oslo (2011) - full transcript
An amusing, topsy turvy, comedy about what might happen when the holiday casual hook-up turns domestic. Especially when there are bosses, families and their expectations of normalcy involved - and the protagonists having nothing even remotely normal going on with their lives. Except for their unusual families...
We were thrown out of
the bar, thrown out
Sorry
Wait, you're Icelandic, right?
Yes.
Could you tell this creep that
we have a right to be here?
We've got a room upstairs
We're attending
a conference
A banking conference
Is she sick?
No, it's just this cheap bubbly
You shouldn't drink cheap bubbly
It's horrible
Yes we're going
The shoe
He's feeling up my tits
What, no
This doesn't look good
Excuse me, what are you doing?
I'm going to put her in the
recovery position
it's much safer
It can be dangerous
if she throws up again
during the night
Just hand me a blanket
then we're good
This has never happened to me
not like this, I'm so sorry
I wish I could say the same
You're not sorry?
No, I mean, this has
happened to me, plenty
Well, you're good then
you really saved my ass, I'm just
glad they didn't throw us out
Here's your briefcase
Thanks
Hey, just send me the bill
for the dry cleaning
No, that's fine
What's you're room number?
Six-four-six
OK, six
... four-six
Bye bye
Six-four-six
Yeah...
Is everything allright?
Oh, yes, yes
Our room really stinks
I see
Would you like to come in, or
No, no thanks
I was thinking of taking a
little walk, outside
The night is young
I was just wondering if
you would like to come with?
Me?
I see
Why not?
You might want to take a
shower first, just a thought
I'll jump in the shower and meet
you in ten minutes downstairs
Very good, see you
Eight minutes
fortunate your friend isn't with us
I wouldn't mind getting in on one
of these business trips
Actually, this wasn't just business
No, you of all people
What?
Are you telling me you
had a prostitute, in Oslo
Nooo
You can't do that,
it's just not allowed
Hey, relax,
she's just a regular woman
A regular woman?
An Icelandic woman
An Icelandic woman? OK
And what, are you going
to see her again?
Yes, if she wants to see me
I was thinking
do you know a good place to
take a woman out for breakfast?
Breakfast isn't weird, is it?
No, no, that's allowed
that's fine
I haven't been to a café in years
but the last time I went
to that tower down in the
business district
That was excellent
Hey, while I remember, I'm going
up to the cabin this weekend,
but my twins, I think they
clogged the toilet last time
So if there is any chance?
Oh no problem, I'll be up there
at my place too, just call
great, you know how
handicapped I am with tools
yes, you're all kinds of
handicapped, Birgir
What?
This is not good
It's just not good enough
Why an electric guitar?
Your dad never would have
played an electric guitar
very peculiar
Just wanted to try something new
I've got a real bad feeling
about this
But listen, another thing
Your mom
She's a wonderful woman
Yeah?
I need to discuss that with you
with me? why?
Because of your dad
Dad died 8 years ago, Havel
Hey, no disrespect, Harald
I know that
I was there at his deathbed
Yeah, the couch at the cabin
yes
What I meant to say is that
your mother is a wonderful woman
and I would never do anything
without your conspent
contet, connent, consent
Of course I'm no ladykiller
like your father was
But you must understand
one has to grab the chance
You have to grab
your chance
Hello
Greetings, this is Harald
Harald?
Yes, Harald, Hi,
how are you?
I'm good
just wanted to hear from you
and thank you for
an unforgettable time in Oslo
back at ya, it was fun
I was wondering if I could
take you out for breakfast?
When to you want to
meet, 10? 11?
well, I was thinking more
like 7 o'clock
It's a very busy day for me
tomorrow, so that would be best
Seven?
Hi Harald
Hi, Hi
Glad you could make it
Oh, you got flowers
Thank you
What a view up here
Well then, your table is ready
Excellent, thanks
Listen,
Thank you for opening, I don't
know what I would have done
Hey, we romantics got to
stick together
So yeah, I work at
the Bank of Iceland
Where I'm supposed to be in
half an hour, but never mind
I rent an apartment in Skipholt
where the video store is
I've never set foot into a gym
in my life
I sometimes play cards, and
I'm a horrible cook
Of course I make up for that
in bed, as you know
And there is one mandatory
question: are you married?
No, I'm not married
I, well...
I was married when
I lived in Ohio for two years
Why'd you separate?
It just would have been strange
to stay married after she
started living
with my friend next door
So, what do you think,
we should do this again?
No,
no, no what the hell is going on
that's my car
Sorry, what kind of idiot are you?
An absolute idiot?
A bill-paying idiot
Hey, I got stuff in the car
You've got behind on
the down payments? or...
Yes
Not the only one
I've heard that almost everyone
who took those currency basket
loans, is in real trouble now
my car was not on a
currency basket loan
Hi, sorry I'm a bit late
Are you an idiot, a total
imbecile, Vilborg?
What were you thinking?
is no one home up there?
Wait, what?
For real, are you this stupid?
You give yourself a loan,
sanction it yourself
And then you sign it with
your own name
idiot much?
It's an overdraft of three million
It was temporary
I just can't believe you're
this stupid
I'm not stupid, Ólöf
Vilborg, the police is here
can we have a word?
Hi
Nice to see you again
Vilborg,
Vilborg...
I have your stuff
Is she crazy?
It's OK, she's with me
Pardon, that's my fiancée
Vilborg Finnbogadóttir
Vilborg, what are you doing
I'm an idiot, a total idiot
I've messed it all up
I've been fired, I'll be charged
with embezzlement
They'll put me in jail Harald
No, no,
I didn't mean to, I was going to
win that money back, it was
just bad luck, I'm so unlucky
I can't, I don't want to live
I'll drown myself
no, no hey now
you've had a breakdown
that's understandable
You're coming home with me
We'll get some hot cocoa
cool down a bit
Harald?
Yes?
It's Einarsdóttir
All right then, Cocoa
drink of the gods
There is this chemical in cocoa
that acts on the dopamine
receptors, that, chemical
doesn't matter
how are you feeling
I just didn't see it coming
which is ridiculous, of course
I just thought this day would
never come,
then all out of a sudden
Boom
I'm sorry you had to see that
No, hey, this is fine
think you could drive me home
when I'm done with the cocoa
thing is,
I'm a little late
I have to pick up my sister,
we're going to the countryside
and she is very punctual
she gets frustrated if I'm late
So I was thinking we might
pick her up on the way?
before I drive you home,
is that all right?
Of course
Allrighty
Oh my god
what are you wearing?
This? Well...
This, this is the logo
of SAHOO
I'm the chairman of SAHOO
Summerhouse Owners Association
Never heard of it? You might
be confusing it with
The Association of Summerhouse
Owners, but that's different
Could you grab the kitty bag
My cousin has the email
bergthor@yahoo, but with a t-h
because you can't have "þ"
This is my mom's place
say, would you like to take a
vacation, in the countryside
It's very cozy, we have a hot
tub and everything
No thanks, I shouldn't,
but thanks
No problem
But Harald
Yes?
thank you so much for
all the help today
Really, I really appreciate it
Yeah,
No problem
I'm pretty good at helping
It's probably my main quality
Harald is finally here
He's got a woman in the car
what?
Hi, hi
No, mom
Who is that woman?
You've got yourself a woman
and don't tell me a thing
what's the matter with you
She's just a woman I met on
my trip to Oslo, Icelandic
Vilborg Eein...Evertsdóttir
She's great
Where am I supposed to be?
My room is mine
No of course, she's not
coming with us to the cabin
No one is touching your stuff
Kitty from Norway, and
a T-shirt, how about it?
Thanks
I was starting to think you were
playing for the other team
Hey now
What team?
No team, no team
Well, let's go
That's lovely Embla
Come on, I'll take the luggage
Hey, I was thinking this cabin
thing over
Yes?
Maybe not such a bad idea
Absolutely
wouldn't mind a soak in that hot
tub, smoke a few cigarettes
Yeah, sounds good
Still on offer?
Yeah...
I should maybe mention this to
my sister, just a word
She might need a
little convincing
Oh, is it...?
No, no, it's great
just a minute
Excellent, just excellent
Embla
Hi, hi
I'm Vilborg
Well then
All aboard
This is some adventure
The three of us on your way
things happen quickly
Kolbeinn, Kolbeinn, I'm
forgetting Kolbeinn
You have to turn around, sorry
I have to take Kolbeinn with me
Wait, who is Kolbeinn?
My son
I'm not thinking straight,
we have to turn around
Yes, yes
Oh, I'm retarded
Did you not know she had
a son, Harald?
Yes of course
Or, no... does it matter?
You can't believe how good it
feels to get out of town
You know, after following you
for a day, I can see why
you need a little break
Funny, but most days of my
life are just like this one
So I'm, you know,
a very exiting person
looks like it, very exiting
you all right in the backseat?
Yup
Kolur? Kolur, you all right?
It's not too tight?
His name is Kolbeinn
Kolbeinn, of course
Captain Kolbeinn, harr
some whiskey Captain Kolbeinn?
Just kidding
Guðmundur, you might have
heard of his mother
She runs a fashion boutique in
Hafnarfjörður, "The Dame"
She's sold a lot through SAHOO
Not familiar with it
Had these fleece sweaters with
the SAHOO logo, very popular
Erna and Hafþór
they're here year-round
This is us
Wow, awesome
Well then
Yeah, that's my dad
he was an amateur painter
and that's himself?
Yes, he mostly did self-portraits
That way he could combine his
two main interests
Oh?
To paint and look at himself
This is wonderful, brilliant
Not quite what you expected?
Yes, well, I didn't know there
was so much here
Most of it isn't mine
I've kept the house the same
since dad died, for mom
If she ever decides to come
back here again
Ah so it's her stuff, had to be
only people her age collect
stones, it's a really strange
compulsion, hoarding rocks
Here is my stone collection
Right on
And guestbooks, you've had
tons of visitors
Oh yes, the house was packed
back in the day
Great, just great
I hope it's OK
Of course
I'll go get him
Right
Please honey, come inside
It's a very cool cabin, please
No mom
Why are you being such a grouch?
Oh, mom, stop it, you got
your butt in my face
So what, you are going to
spend the day in the car?
come inside. You have
to see this place, it's very funny
Mom, I've told you already, I
don't want to be here
Why did I have to come with,
why couldn't I just have been
home alone, or with dad or
whatever
home alone? Be realistic
Come on, lets give these
people a chance
Vilborg? Am I interrupting?
Was wondering, Kolbeinn, would
you like a chocolate biscuit?
Come on
OK, be that way, I'm going in
there to have a good time
Stop being a grouch, please
He's in a bad mood, or?
Christ...
Think he wants a biscuit?
I bet he does, just ask him
Hi
So, this is the path that
divides the neighborhood
into a west and an east side
it needs to be maintained
and weeded
Who does that?
That has been my
responsibility
Don't walk on it
It's not finished
You can't believe the impact
these dumpsters have had
Only thing is, people tend to
make a mess around them
It's like people just can't be
bothered to open them
So that's been
my responsibility also
Eeww
Oh man, what is with people
I don't know, maybe some finds
dumpsters romantic
I see. I always just assumed this
fell from the trash bags
But what's romantic for someone
might not turn other people on
what are you talking about?
About romance
Right, should we go?
This is the festival stage
then we have a large grill here
That's been my responsibility
My dad, and Havel, they used to
sing and play back in the day
And since dad died,
I play with Havel
Havel? Is he Polish?
No, he's Swedish, fine
accordionist, a bit strange
Mom and dad met him at a
folk festival
never got rid of him after that
I've been thinking, about the
old days, when we were
all up at the cabin together
aha
I believe some things are
meant to be
and that some things were
meant to be
like, sometimes when I'm at
home, playing the accordion
and I get so caught up in it
Then I come to, and realize
that I'm not there, but here
and I'm alive, you are alive
but in a very different place
different from then, you see
Well hello, Havel
What have I done
What on earth have I done
Havel, it's just a painting
Your dad, it sounds like he
was a hoot
Yeah
A lot of people thought so
I got a medal for swimming
and Harald got one for Lego
Wow, I'd kill for a medal,
never had one
Yes, well, we won the
University's engineer challenge
really
Made this Lego contraption,
it's not important
Embla is a great swimmer
Jeez, I just get shy in such
illustrious company
Kolbeinn,
are you going to
eat, or what?
No, I'm not hungry
Harald, beer for you?
No thanks. I usually only
have beer on Saturdays
Something to look forward to,
like a treat-day
OK
I think I'll still have a treat-day
though it isn't Saturday,
which is strange
Is it Saturday?
No, it's Thursday
Can I have beer, Harald?
No, not today
Maybe on Saturday
This sucks! Can you...
Getting cozy?
Very cozy. Nice pajamas
they were a gift from Embla,
they're sort of mandatory
I get the feeling I really get on
your sisters nerves
Yeah, could be
Kolur is pretty shy with me
Kolbeinn
What did I say?
Kolur, you said Kolur
Kolur? Sorry, sorry
I had a dog called Kolur
Maybe that's why
I'm not comparing your
son to a dog,
but he had dark hair too,
some mental association
No, he was crazy, bit everyone
we had to put him down
He's buried here,
under the hot tub
You just going to stand there?
come here now
Of course
Isn't everybody going to sleep?
Yes, everybody's going to sleep
Good night, Harald
Good night, Embla
Good night, Embla
Yes
Pardon, I just can't find my
shirt
How'd you sleep?
I slept like an accordion
I'll find your clothes
here, have some coffee
Turn it
Relax Harald, you're not the
only member of SAHOO
Oh really?
That's good
You have to tighten the wires
see, it's loose, tighten it
So Kolbeinn, how do you like
it here? It's all right
Isn't it? This is where I spent
all my summers as a kid
I was raised here, really
Then I had find
something to do
I started collecting rocks, there
are great rocks down by the lake
up there on the heath too
I'd gotten quite a collection,
the kids in school thought I
was insane, the did not get it
they thought I was...
weird
Hi, hi
see you found the pulp romances
Yeah, just taking a peek
skip the story of course, just
find the erotic bits, listen
"She reached out and ran her
fingers across his massive chest"
It is very...
erotic
Your son thinks I'm a total creep
looks at me with hate in his eyes
I wouldn't take it personally
No, no, he will get to know
me with time
I was wondering, think I could
break the ice with a hike
or a boat ride?
Not unless you drown him
OK, not one for black humor
no, I've never gotten this
kind of humor
Harald, listen
I don't know how much you
understood of what was happening
I'm not some criminal, you know
I'm what they call
a gambling addict
what I'm saying is,
that it's an addiction
but I've quit
thank you for telling me
But I have to get going, there
is a clogged septic tank I have
to see to. Take one for the
team, everything for SAHOO
Well Kolbeinn
Here...
Oh, one
Hi, oh wow
amazing Embla
Kolbeinn, take a look at the
fish Embla caught
Went and caught a lobster
What? you caught a lobster
No, there isn't Lobster in
Lake Þingvellir
Stebbi, Stebbi!
What?
There is some guy there
that's unacceptable
Who is that pervert?
this is not acceptable
there are children here
What's not acceptable?
Is there a problem?
Sorry to bother you, but
I'm chairman of SAHOO
and we just can not have people
naked out on the porch
these are rules we put in place
due to past experience
this is bullshit,
I was inside breastfeeding
my baby
sicko
Baby? there is a baby here?
the baby is inside sleeping
are you retarded, man
I'll hit him if he comes closer
Then I apologize, and urge you to
attend the harvest festival
What fucking harvest festival?
who cares
but, why not just feed
the baby inside, instead of
coming out here naked,
and I don't like the
word retarded
Wanker
God damn fucking pervert
how was the breakfast date;
with the Oslo woman?
well, the tower "café"
is a restaurant
It opens at noon
I told you to go there?
Sorry, I meant Vox, Southstreet
that's were I go, great place
OK
Girls, careful with the rocks
exactly, see
a car
Yes, that's your car
They are all about flushing stuff
these days, some phase
I've been looking for that
watch for almost a year
that's great, thank you.
Big no-no, girls
OK, girls, we best be
heading home, come on
And? What?
You can't just show up, Pálmi
I can't just show up what?
I'm here now
You know what I mean,
I'm with somebody here
Hi honey
Hey, this is Pálmi, my son's
father. Pálmi, meet Harald
friend of mine
Hi there
So yeah, Pálmi is here to get
Kolbeinn, turns out he's been
messaging his father, telling him
to come get him, without me
knowing, Harald, sorry, you smell
just awful
tremendously awful
I was fixing a septic tank, for the
neighbors, had an accident, sorry
I see, we once lived in a building
that had these portholes
where you threw your trash
we were always clogging that,
they were going to evict us
remember Villa?
not really a septic tank, but...
well hello, who's this babe?
This is Embla, my sister
she's a bit shy by nature
I see, but you just can't be
shy around me, no can do
I'll keep that in mind
Harald, the smell is awful
super awful
I'm just going to pop into
the shower
wow, what a swell idea
what are people doing with
these septic tanks around here?
Pálmi...
OK, so what is this
What was I supposed to do?
Kolbeinn messaged me
"everything sucks"
What was I supposed to do?
You could have called me first?
I didn't have any phone credit
Dad! There's the champ, hi
Playing football?
yeah, can we go?
OK, well, what sucks so much?
I don't know
Is that guy a drag?
Yeah
OK, pass it,
see that, haven't forgot a thing
Vilborg?
Yes?
Could you hand me the towels
from the brown bag?
In the kitchen, brown
There is no brown bag
in the kitchen
yes there is
no. It's right there
Come on,
they are outside
then we just head home...
Nice
don't be a child, Pálmi
Dad, I'll just go get my stuff
I'll be quick
all right, no hurry
free beer here and stuff
I got to get myself a
cabin one day
Sorry, I, are you all right?
Of course
I had no idea he would show up,
one message and he was off
message?
yeah
that said what?
I don't know, some nonsense
But hey, I could go
back into town with them
since Kolbeinn is leaving,
and you're very busy
I don't want to be a bother
you want to go?
No, I don't want to go
It's very nice staying here,
but since the kid is leaving
can't he just be with his dad?
He can, they are fine for a few
hours, then Pálmi needs to
meet someone somewhere,
goes to the bar, leaves
the kid home alone
I see
but don't take it personally
Nope. OK?
Yeah.
I'm going check on them
So you have some time off?
me, yeah
You have some time off, Pálmi
you also Vilborg, everybody
is on vacation
I was just thinking, why leave?
Why not just not leave?
What do you mean?
I mean, I could get you a place
We can stay here all of us,
there is the festival tomorrow
the boy will like that
It wouldn't cost you,
free of charge
that's not such a bad idea
exactly, could be fun
yeah, hot tub and stuff
then I want to stay with dad
We'll see about that, Kolbeinn
Of course you can stay over at
my cabin, I'm fully dressed, too
Yes, I apologize...
What is your name?
Pálmi.
but they call me El-Palmo
El-Palmo, like in Spain
Embla!
Great, it's settled then
I'll find you a cabin
Wonderful
What shall we do tonight?
How about a barbecue?
That would be sweet, man
awesome
He can also stay in my
room, Harald
No, no, don't be silly
hey, the old man's still got it
No, I'm kidding
Embla, could he help me with
Just help me with the...
what's this Pálmi, you are
going to be staying here?
He invited me
Invited you?
Pálmi, El-Palmo?
Are you a mongoloid?
she was having fun
He's a good man, an artist
No, no, not a bum
Yes, I know how it is with
these artistic types
no, see, he's the father of my
fiancées son
yes, I'm in a relationship
No, I'm not joking
No I'm not imagining it
why would I be imagining it?
Anyway, the cabin? Oh, you
are coming up here?
OK, no, that's that then
Bye
Maradonna passes to Pele and,
Eiður Smárason scores!
Idiot
Don't feel threatened boys, but
I have a killer bicycle kick
No, kidding
I couldn't do a bicycle kick
if my life depended on it
I bet you can, Kolbeinn
Just kicking the ball around
Right
...you want to play?
OK
I'm game, if you think
you can take it
No, see, I have to start
getting fliers out,
advertise the harvest festival
I was thinking you might
come along, Kolbeinn?
take a little walk
No, just a thought
hey, sure, I can come with
we can all go together
Excellent, excellent
Why don't you just get your
hair done, brighten your day
Yes, yes it will
No, no
yes, a haircut,
it will brighten your day,
yes it will
Hi, Embla
Can I come in
Wow, so many kitties
How many cats is that?
I don't know Vilborg
I haven't counted them
Who is this?
That is my mother
She is your mother?
no, just my mother
me and Harald are half-siblings
We only have the same dad
this is information that he
should have given you
he never says anything
Has she passed away?
No Vilborg, she has not
she lives up north
She is a hairdresser
Ólöf, hi? You've spoken with
them? OK, and?
Then there are 90 houses over
there, we will get to that later
Kolbeinn, here
there is one over there
Hi there, thanks
He's a good boy, Harald
yes, exactly
I don't know you, but I hope
you're a good boy too
Right, right...
Waffles, nice
You are making waffles
you've found the waffle-iron
Now I'm celebrating
Celebrating what?
Just, life and stuff
Embla, no, Pálmi take over
come with me, take over
what? are you insane?
I don't know how...
Ólöf has finally spoken with
the bank management
They've agreed not to prosecute
OK, that's good
That's good? That's great
Harald I might have gone to jail
I get to pay them back, no trial
I loose the job of course
But that's just fine
Wait, that's fine?
God yes, I was bored stiff with
that bank stuff anyway
also not a healthy workplace
for someone like me
I just want to do something new
go to school or something
what?
No, just, you're more like the
person I met in Oslo, lighter
yeah, maybe it's the cabin
or the clean air or something
Or me?
No, it's definitely not you
Kidding, it is you
Mom. Dad is burning everything
could you come
Hello, this is not working
not at all, where is the chef?
A good man, yes, I vouch for him
personally, a single father
A single father,
very charm...
OK...
And is that...
You'll just come stay with me.
Dream on, Pálmi
invite me and see what happens
Hot tub and everything
Kids, I've got the steaks here
Yes I'm still on the line,
you just hang up
It's made of potatoes
You didn't hear me?
You've started?
just picking at it
Could you get a cabin?
no, not really, its more
complicated than I thought
I still have one place in mind
I can also just drive home
tomorrow, I don't need to sleep
can't he just spend one night
up in the loft with Kolbeinn?
I'm not sure Harald is OK with
having your Ex super-lover
spend the night
No, no, it's no problem
I'll get a cabin
You know what you are?
My little mister fix-it
have some wine with us
Know what, I think I'll just
have a coke
Harald
all right, just a drop
just to get the taste
thought so
my oh my, who is that babe
you sure can bring it, I thought
we had Paris Hilton in the house
You're very pretty, honey
I got this sweater for Christmas
years ago, It's a used up rag
Oh no, that's no rag
The only used up rag here
is me
All right, Embla, lets eat
you have to get to bed early
if you're going to fish tomorrow
Harald, don't be so boring
I don't want to fish forever
why do you say I'm
boring, Embla?
Because you are
Now you are being a rude, Embla
You don't say things like that
You tell the truth.
Embla!
Well well, siblings fighting,
that's no good
Yes, let's not fight
tonight we celebrate
wait, what is it that
you keep celebrating?
just life, and stuff
Cheers, cheers
is he always this grumpy?
super-lover, really Pálmi?
Hey, dance with me.
No
Come on, why don't you
want to dance with me?
then I'll just dance with Embla
no, no, Embla, Embla
Embla is a great dancer, she
took classes and got an award
we took classes Harald
you are very good too
No, no
Well, how about coffee?
No, not coffee, I'll never
fall asleep
Maybe this was not such a
good idea with the extra cabin
I just wanted to delay the
departure a little
oh, thanks
Say, is Embla your half-sister
yes, she is
I always find it a little silly
calling her my half sister
But that's the truth
Dad knocked up a woman in
one of these cabins, years ago
A married woman
mom wanted it this way
So, my man, you got a cabin?
No, I'm sorry, it just didn't
work out
Damn
I do have an old tent, but, no
that's not, never mind
Hey, that's great, thanks
the fridge is free for all, right?
beer and whatnot?
Go right ahead
OK, a tent, we're going to have
him hovering in the backyard?
A hard worker, that man of yours
you in a tent,
can't quite picture it
I can do that, I can do everything
I set my mind to
You of all people
should know that
if you can start a new family with
this guy, I can sleep in a tent
Start a family, I hardly know him
we met last week
You're talking nonsense
he's just a very good guy
I didn't know pitching one tent
was such a big deal, look at him
I don't remember you pitching
any tents
don't make fun of me, Vilborg
for real, don't do it
you know it hurts when you
say stuff like that
because it's you, you know
See, see
Hey, look what I found, Vodka
in the cabinet? Yes, top one
do you want some, Harald?
Isn't it my turn? Your turn
six twos, No, two sixes,
You're retarded. Here
OK, you've won, but I lost
on purpose, I let you guys win
to protect your tiny egos
sounds implausible
No, you're implausible
that's bullshit
Is everything all right? Yup
Maybe a bit too much to drink?
I'm not drunk
It's a bit loud
Yes honey, we'll keep it down
what is such a pretty girl doing
in bed so early
Don't
Harald, can you play a few songs
Yes I'll play
She's so cute, Harald. Don't
you think so? So cute
Yes, Embla is all right
Good night
Keep it down
close your eyes
they're closed
you have to close your eyes, I'm
not playing unless you close them
they are closed
for real, don't make me feel
lousy, by not drinking with me
I'm not making you lousy,
I'm drinking a lot here
because you know all my buttons
this is good
Stop it. What?
Don't do this, don't
No, no no
Hello, do we really need
the singing?
We got some great music
on the hi-fi out here
Is something the matter?
nope...
This party has perhaps run
its course by now
I'm sorry, that was hasty
I did not mean to belittle
you as a musician
No really, you sing like
an angel, my man
I'd be very grateful if we
could end this party
yes, don't listen to Pálmi
Pálmi is a drunk idiot who is
going out to his tent, right now
Yeah, OK, the tent, right now
No problem
Say, maybe I'll take something to
read with me
don't touch those! put it back
put it back there
I don't want you touching
anything in here. Get out
cheers, ol' fella
What kind of idiot...
He's an idiot
he's also a looser, and he's
not feeling very well
Feeling well? You know what,
I'll get him out into the tent
don't you come out there,
I don't want you to start a brawl
A brawl? I'm starting a brawl?
I'm some brawler?
just leave it to me.
I'm an engineer
Man this is so strange
you tidying up
strange being here with you
and yet not being with you
seeing you with another man
my son with another...
fucking strange
Could you not start this now?
I'm not starting anything
I'm just talking to you
Pálmi, what's going on
Sorry, sorry
you must blow out the candles
What's this guy's damn problem
I'm sorry, it just all hit me
everything I'm missing
everything I've messed up
I know I should have stood by
you better
I'm just not very strong
I'm much weaker than you
Pálmi, please, lets not
OK...
remember to lock the door
What's the matter with him
I got to lock this door
I'm going
walk me to the tent?
No man, that's not cool
OK...
Good night
one kiss
No man, get out
Vilborg, you have to talk to me
I'm talking to you
please talk to me
stop it, Pálmi
Don't I deserve a talk
I am talking to you
you're my sons mother who
is my own flesh and blood
you never quit...
Vilborg!
Vilborg?
Harald?
Harald?
Haraldur
Wha... you're not dressed yet?
We decided to come together,
your mother and I
to our separate cabins, of course
I just gave her a ride
Havel got me to come,
after all these years
I got the bags, I'll just put
them inside
Hey, we have to practice
Practice, practice, practice
know what your dad always used
to say when I wanted to practice?
he said, Havel dear, you practice
so hard it's enough for both of us
no wait, wait
that is not what he said
Yes, it is
but it was funny somehow
I'm not saying it right
She's asleep?
yes, or, no, I don't know
why didn't you call ahead?
I called...
did I come at a bad time?
No, no, just would have liked
to tidy up the place
my guestbooks
I'd forgotten about them
how can you collect something
for twenty years and then
just forget about it?
Oh my god
what time is it?
what, going to work?
did you hear some people?
it's day, god damn it
Yesterday?
Oh, Harald, he will think
that I, shit
let him think what he wants
I hate you Pálmi, why did you
drag me out to this tent
you stupid cry-baby
I'll not let you ruin this for me
you've ruined enough
wait, where are you going?
what's the matter with you?
Where are you going?
out of the tent
No, your not going anywhere
I'm not going to let you run off
into the arms of that doofus
You have no say in that
What are you going to tell him?
just that I fell asleep
you're going to say I'm impotent?
what happened in the tent
stays between the two of us
nothing happened in this tent
listen, I know, that we had some
trouble in our relationship
but I've found a cure,
this is not about you, you
self-centered idiot
wow, now I'm a self-centered
idiot, I'm just telling you
that I found a solution to my
problem a long time ago
I have pills
that work
Damn it!
Coffee, coffee, coffee
nothing like it
Except tea
Mom?
Hi, honey
you were out fishing?
didn't catch anything
Kolbeinn, come here
we're going
Nice to meet you
Hi
Vilborg, wait
Kolbeinn is upstairs, my mother
why did you invite me to this
fucking cabin, why are all these
people here, why don't you
just leave me be
What do you mean why?
Aren't we trying to have a
relationship?
I thought we were together
you don't know me at all
you don't know me or what
position I am in
you should just leave me
alone, no one understands me
least of all myself. I thought it
was over between you and Pálmi
if I may interject, can we just
spare the boy in all of this?
Spare the boy, what are you
talking about?
I don't mean to interfere, but
I think something has to be said
what? Pálmi piss off, who
invited you here?
did you tell him that nothing
happened in the tent
again you're lying to everybody
that I'm impotent, I'm not!
are you insane
Mom, I asked him to come
I don't want to be here
dad is taking me home
I'm moving in with dad
what are you talking about?
Pálmi, did you tell him this?
I didn't say a thing
Dad, you said I could live with
you. No. yes.
that's not what I said,
I never said that, I said
that I wished that it were
possible
Pálmi, you're lying to the child?
are you insane?
who's lying here, I'm not lying
Oh, so you're taking Kolbeinn,
Is he going to live with you?
is that what you want?
Damn that's low, Vilborg
didn't I just say we should
spare the kid,
god damn bitch
Dickwad
are you out of your mind?
you disgust me
Go to hell
you're crazy, see a shrink
I hate you, I hate you!
way to hot, I never use these
at the swimming pool
feeling better, dear?
sure
That's how it goes...
sometimes you just need
to vent a little, let it all out
you know what I mean
I haven't forgot what it's like
to be young and stupid
Now I'm just old and stupid
we all have our rough patches
I was married to an alcoholic
for thirty years, I should know
There you go, good,
at the same time
Away, down and pull
I see. Good
Captain Kolbeinn,
braves the waves
yeah
My uncle Havel
Exactly
put the beer under the table
there are two beers per house
I'll keep my eyes peeled
it's no laughing matter
why so tense, Harald? You're
not the only member of SAHOO
I don't understand why it had
to be like that last night
suddenly this was some party
some bender
Is alcohol an issue
no
has it got something to do
with the gambling?
I don't know this stuff
No, it's got nothing to do with
gambling addiction, and no
I'm not an alcoholic
what happened was just...
Uncle Havel kisses with tongue!
Uncle Havel kisses with tongue!
Embla, I'm not your uncle
we're not related
Embla, calm down
what's going on, Harald?
I don't know what's going on
Is something going on?
No, just a misunderstanding
let me explain, Havel
Calm down dear, lets have a
talk, come on
what is this?
just a misunderstanding
we have to practice for the
festival, Harald, I insist
I'm having a very hard time
with that electric guitar you got
I don't like it, this is where
I put my foot down
I would really appreciate
a ride back into town
Yes, but I have to be here for
the festival, I'm chairman of
this fucking cabin association
I have to be there
but I can take you this evening
It's fine, I'll get a cab
too bad about your sister
back there
Yes, too bad
I don't need to explain this to
you, do I?
Your mother and I, are now
what you would call a couple
that's none of my business
Hello, hello, one two
Well then, greetings and
welcome to the SAHOO festival
Havel here wrote a song for us
we'll begin with, he's given you
the fliers with the lyrics
we all know Havel
maybe a bit too well
why is there no sound?
come hither friends
let's feast together
Kids and mothers
and kinsmen all
No, the mountain with the smoke
is on the other side, yes
OK, thanks
Mom, Harald can drive us after
the festival
then we don't have to take a
taxi from Þingvellir
It's a long way. It is
And expensive. Yes very
but we'll take care of
ourselves, love
like we always do
we're going home
home
So, that was that
next up is "one summer night"
and everyone should join in
just a reminder, only two
beers per cabin, two
one summer night
in a faraway dale
in a small meadow
I shared a secret...
pardon this, Harald had
urgent matters to attend to
shall we just get right
into the polka?
What do you all say?
yeah
You're going?
I called a cab
you don't want to see the
festival?
I bet the kid would like it,
accordions, a bouncy castle
is this how we say goodbye?
more or less
not quite how I pictured
it in Oslo
please Harald, we were abroad
we were lonely, drunk, horny
but did we ever get the chance
to get to know each other?
we're splitting up before we
even get together
I was thinking
aren't you just being a bit too
serious about all of this?
If nothing happened in the tent
then nothing happened
done deal
And if something happened, then
that doesn't matter either
you know...
my dad, who was horrible
basically an asshole, but he taught
me one thing
sex is just sex, it doesn't matter,
you don't have to take it seriously
can't we just meet up in town
and give this a chance?
you know what, Harald, I've made
nothing but mistakes for years
I have to start doing
something right
hi
But, why not make one more
mistake and...
...let me be that mistake?
are you going to invite me in?
by all means. wine?
White wine? Yes.
welcome to Norway
thank you...
No worries, I'm not inside
I lit it, I lit it myself
Are you insane
Harald, Vilborg and the boy?
they're gone, no worries
Embla, I got your stuff
here, take it
I set it on fire, because I hate
that fucking cabin
The guestbooks? Guestbooks?
fuck, I forgot them
You wanted to keep them?
no, I don't care about them
did you take the gas-canister?
No, fuck
I've always dreamt of burning
that place down
No, just a fantasy, just like
wanting to sleep with the
anchor woman, you never
act on it, just a fantasy
Harald, Harald?!
The lady is here
Is everyone allright?
I've fucked it all up, everything
I've ruined everything
we're not a mistake, Harald
Havel, you have some Cocoa?
No, Swiss-Miss maybe. Great
lets go to your place and give the
kids some hot chocolate
come, come along Embla, and
don't worry about the fishing
gear, uncle Havel will buy some
first thing tomorrow morning
I have to get a longer rod, I'm
tired of this short rod
yes, longer rod
I can't remember the last time
we were alone
Hey,
I know a better place
come on
Pervert
Don't, just...
No, no
Yes, over here. Harald!
come on
I'm not stepping in there
It's just water
you have to come get me
you're something else
You're bonkers
do I hear an accordion?
always,
no one escapes the
accordion fellowship
Vilborg
come
So listen,
I'm not impotent
Oh, I know that
THE END
you can say everything these days
everyone is so open, no taboos
I heard a man on the radio,
talking about the sex life of
senior citizens
nothing is sacred these days
what a wonderful day
no, he was so outspoken this guy
he said there was action in every
other room at the nursing homes
and men masturbate all their
lives, that's what males are like
no one spoke of masturbation
in my youth
we always called it churning
no one talks about
churning himself today
and isn't that just fine?
the bar, thrown out
Sorry
Wait, you're Icelandic, right?
Yes.
Could you tell this creep that
we have a right to be here?
We've got a room upstairs
We're attending
a conference
A banking conference
Is she sick?
No, it's just this cheap bubbly
You shouldn't drink cheap bubbly
It's horrible
Yes we're going
The shoe
He's feeling up my tits
What, no
This doesn't look good
Excuse me, what are you doing?
I'm going to put her in the
recovery position
it's much safer
It can be dangerous
if she throws up again
during the night
Just hand me a blanket
then we're good
This has never happened to me
not like this, I'm so sorry
I wish I could say the same
You're not sorry?
No, I mean, this has
happened to me, plenty
Well, you're good then
you really saved my ass, I'm just
glad they didn't throw us out
Here's your briefcase
Thanks
Hey, just send me the bill
for the dry cleaning
No, that's fine
What's you're room number?
Six-four-six
OK, six
... four-six
Bye bye
Six-four-six
Yeah...
Is everything allright?
Oh, yes, yes
Our room really stinks
I see
Would you like to come in, or
No, no thanks
I was thinking of taking a
little walk, outside
The night is young
I was just wondering if
you would like to come with?
Me?
I see
Why not?
You might want to take a
shower first, just a thought
I'll jump in the shower and meet
you in ten minutes downstairs
Very good, see you
Eight minutes
fortunate your friend isn't with us
I wouldn't mind getting in on one
of these business trips
Actually, this wasn't just business
No, you of all people
What?
Are you telling me you
had a prostitute, in Oslo
Nooo
You can't do that,
it's just not allowed
Hey, relax,
she's just a regular woman
A regular woman?
An Icelandic woman
An Icelandic woman? OK
And what, are you going
to see her again?
Yes, if she wants to see me
I was thinking
do you know a good place to
take a woman out for breakfast?
Breakfast isn't weird, is it?
No, no, that's allowed
that's fine
I haven't been to a café in years
but the last time I went
to that tower down in the
business district
That was excellent
Hey, while I remember, I'm going
up to the cabin this weekend,
but my twins, I think they
clogged the toilet last time
So if there is any chance?
Oh no problem, I'll be up there
at my place too, just call
great, you know how
handicapped I am with tools
yes, you're all kinds of
handicapped, Birgir
What?
This is not good
It's just not good enough
Why an electric guitar?
Your dad never would have
played an electric guitar
very peculiar
Just wanted to try something new
I've got a real bad feeling
about this
But listen, another thing
Your mom
She's a wonderful woman
Yeah?
I need to discuss that with you
with me? why?
Because of your dad
Dad died 8 years ago, Havel
Hey, no disrespect, Harald
I know that
I was there at his deathbed
Yeah, the couch at the cabin
yes
What I meant to say is that
your mother is a wonderful woman
and I would never do anything
without your conspent
contet, connent, consent
Of course I'm no ladykiller
like your father was
But you must understand
one has to grab the chance
You have to grab
your chance
Hello
Greetings, this is Harald
Harald?
Yes, Harald, Hi,
how are you?
I'm good
just wanted to hear from you
and thank you for
an unforgettable time in Oslo
back at ya, it was fun
I was wondering if I could
take you out for breakfast?
When to you want to
meet, 10? 11?
well, I was thinking more
like 7 o'clock
It's a very busy day for me
tomorrow, so that would be best
Seven?
Hi Harald
Hi, Hi
Glad you could make it
Oh, you got flowers
Thank you
What a view up here
Well then, your table is ready
Excellent, thanks
Listen,
Thank you for opening, I don't
know what I would have done
Hey, we romantics got to
stick together
So yeah, I work at
the Bank of Iceland
Where I'm supposed to be in
half an hour, but never mind
I rent an apartment in Skipholt
where the video store is
I've never set foot into a gym
in my life
I sometimes play cards, and
I'm a horrible cook
Of course I make up for that
in bed, as you know
And there is one mandatory
question: are you married?
No, I'm not married
I, well...
I was married when
I lived in Ohio for two years
Why'd you separate?
It just would have been strange
to stay married after she
started living
with my friend next door
So, what do you think,
we should do this again?
No,
no, no what the hell is going on
that's my car
Sorry, what kind of idiot are you?
An absolute idiot?
A bill-paying idiot
Hey, I got stuff in the car
You've got behind on
the down payments? or...
Yes
Not the only one
I've heard that almost everyone
who took those currency basket
loans, is in real trouble now
my car was not on a
currency basket loan
Hi, sorry I'm a bit late
Are you an idiot, a total
imbecile, Vilborg?
What were you thinking?
is no one home up there?
Wait, what?
For real, are you this stupid?
You give yourself a loan,
sanction it yourself
And then you sign it with
your own name
idiot much?
It's an overdraft of three million
It was temporary
I just can't believe you're
this stupid
I'm not stupid, Ólöf
Vilborg, the police is here
can we have a word?
Hi
Nice to see you again
Vilborg,
Vilborg...
I have your stuff
Is she crazy?
It's OK, she's with me
Pardon, that's my fiancée
Vilborg Finnbogadóttir
Vilborg, what are you doing
I'm an idiot, a total idiot
I've messed it all up
I've been fired, I'll be charged
with embezzlement
They'll put me in jail Harald
No, no,
I didn't mean to, I was going to
win that money back, it was
just bad luck, I'm so unlucky
I can't, I don't want to live
I'll drown myself
no, no hey now
you've had a breakdown
that's understandable
You're coming home with me
We'll get some hot cocoa
cool down a bit
Harald?
Yes?
It's Einarsdóttir
All right then, Cocoa
drink of the gods
There is this chemical in cocoa
that acts on the dopamine
receptors, that, chemical
doesn't matter
how are you feeling
I just didn't see it coming
which is ridiculous, of course
I just thought this day would
never come,
then all out of a sudden
Boom
I'm sorry you had to see that
No, hey, this is fine
think you could drive me home
when I'm done with the cocoa
thing is,
I'm a little late
I have to pick up my sister,
we're going to the countryside
and she is very punctual
she gets frustrated if I'm late
So I was thinking we might
pick her up on the way?
before I drive you home,
is that all right?
Of course
Allrighty
Oh my god
what are you wearing?
This? Well...
This, this is the logo
of SAHOO
I'm the chairman of SAHOO
Summerhouse Owners Association
Never heard of it? You might
be confusing it with
The Association of Summerhouse
Owners, but that's different
Could you grab the kitty bag
My cousin has the email
bergthor@yahoo, but with a t-h
because you can't have "þ"
This is my mom's place
say, would you like to take a
vacation, in the countryside
It's very cozy, we have a hot
tub and everything
No thanks, I shouldn't,
but thanks
No problem
But Harald
Yes?
thank you so much for
all the help today
Really, I really appreciate it
Yeah,
No problem
I'm pretty good at helping
It's probably my main quality
Harald is finally here
He's got a woman in the car
what?
Hi, hi
No, mom
Who is that woman?
You've got yourself a woman
and don't tell me a thing
what's the matter with you
She's just a woman I met on
my trip to Oslo, Icelandic
Vilborg Eein...Evertsdóttir
She's great
Where am I supposed to be?
My room is mine
No of course, she's not
coming with us to the cabin
No one is touching your stuff
Kitty from Norway, and
a T-shirt, how about it?
Thanks
I was starting to think you were
playing for the other team
Hey now
What team?
No team, no team
Well, let's go
That's lovely Embla
Come on, I'll take the luggage
Hey, I was thinking this cabin
thing over
Yes?
Maybe not such a bad idea
Absolutely
wouldn't mind a soak in that hot
tub, smoke a few cigarettes
Yeah, sounds good
Still on offer?
Yeah...
I should maybe mention this to
my sister, just a word
She might need a
little convincing
Oh, is it...?
No, no, it's great
just a minute
Excellent, just excellent
Embla
Hi, hi
I'm Vilborg
Well then
All aboard
This is some adventure
The three of us on your way
things happen quickly
Kolbeinn, Kolbeinn, I'm
forgetting Kolbeinn
You have to turn around, sorry
I have to take Kolbeinn with me
Wait, who is Kolbeinn?
My son
I'm not thinking straight,
we have to turn around
Yes, yes
Oh, I'm retarded
Did you not know she had
a son, Harald?
Yes of course
Or, no... does it matter?
You can't believe how good it
feels to get out of town
You know, after following you
for a day, I can see why
you need a little break
Funny, but most days of my
life are just like this one
So I'm, you know,
a very exiting person
looks like it, very exiting
you all right in the backseat?
Yup
Kolur? Kolur, you all right?
It's not too tight?
His name is Kolbeinn
Kolbeinn, of course
Captain Kolbeinn, harr
some whiskey Captain Kolbeinn?
Just kidding
Guðmundur, you might have
heard of his mother
She runs a fashion boutique in
Hafnarfjörður, "The Dame"
She's sold a lot through SAHOO
Not familiar with it
Had these fleece sweaters with
the SAHOO logo, very popular
Erna and Hafþór
they're here year-round
This is us
Wow, awesome
Well then
Yeah, that's my dad
he was an amateur painter
and that's himself?
Yes, he mostly did self-portraits
That way he could combine his
two main interests
Oh?
To paint and look at himself
This is wonderful, brilliant
Not quite what you expected?
Yes, well, I didn't know there
was so much here
Most of it isn't mine
I've kept the house the same
since dad died, for mom
If she ever decides to come
back here again
Ah so it's her stuff, had to be
only people her age collect
stones, it's a really strange
compulsion, hoarding rocks
Here is my stone collection
Right on
And guestbooks, you've had
tons of visitors
Oh yes, the house was packed
back in the day
Great, just great
I hope it's OK
Of course
I'll go get him
Right
Please honey, come inside
It's a very cool cabin, please
No mom
Why are you being such a grouch?
Oh, mom, stop it, you got
your butt in my face
So what, you are going to
spend the day in the car?
come inside. You have
to see this place, it's very funny
Mom, I've told you already, I
don't want to be here
Why did I have to come with,
why couldn't I just have been
home alone, or with dad or
whatever
home alone? Be realistic
Come on, lets give these
people a chance
Vilborg? Am I interrupting?
Was wondering, Kolbeinn, would
you like a chocolate biscuit?
Come on
OK, be that way, I'm going in
there to have a good time
Stop being a grouch, please
He's in a bad mood, or?
Christ...
Think he wants a biscuit?
I bet he does, just ask him
Hi
So, this is the path that
divides the neighborhood
into a west and an east side
it needs to be maintained
and weeded
Who does that?
That has been my
responsibility
Don't walk on it
It's not finished
You can't believe the impact
these dumpsters have had
Only thing is, people tend to
make a mess around them
It's like people just can't be
bothered to open them
So that's been
my responsibility also
Eeww
Oh man, what is with people
I don't know, maybe some finds
dumpsters romantic
I see. I always just assumed this
fell from the trash bags
But what's romantic for someone
might not turn other people on
what are you talking about?
About romance
Right, should we go?
This is the festival stage
then we have a large grill here
That's been my responsibility
My dad, and Havel, they used to
sing and play back in the day
And since dad died,
I play with Havel
Havel? Is he Polish?
No, he's Swedish, fine
accordionist, a bit strange
Mom and dad met him at a
folk festival
never got rid of him after that
I've been thinking, about the
old days, when we were
all up at the cabin together
aha
I believe some things are
meant to be
and that some things were
meant to be
like, sometimes when I'm at
home, playing the accordion
and I get so caught up in it
Then I come to, and realize
that I'm not there, but here
and I'm alive, you are alive
but in a very different place
different from then, you see
Well hello, Havel
What have I done
What on earth have I done
Havel, it's just a painting
Your dad, it sounds like he
was a hoot
Yeah
A lot of people thought so
I got a medal for swimming
and Harald got one for Lego
Wow, I'd kill for a medal,
never had one
Yes, well, we won the
University's engineer challenge
really
Made this Lego contraption,
it's not important
Embla is a great swimmer
Jeez, I just get shy in such
illustrious company
Kolbeinn,
are you going to
eat, or what?
No, I'm not hungry
Harald, beer for you?
No thanks. I usually only
have beer on Saturdays
Something to look forward to,
like a treat-day
OK
I think I'll still have a treat-day
though it isn't Saturday,
which is strange
Is it Saturday?
No, it's Thursday
Can I have beer, Harald?
No, not today
Maybe on Saturday
This sucks! Can you...
Getting cozy?
Very cozy. Nice pajamas
they were a gift from Embla,
they're sort of mandatory
I get the feeling I really get on
your sisters nerves
Yeah, could be
Kolur is pretty shy with me
Kolbeinn
What did I say?
Kolur, you said Kolur
Kolur? Sorry, sorry
I had a dog called Kolur
Maybe that's why
I'm not comparing your
son to a dog,
but he had dark hair too,
some mental association
No, he was crazy, bit everyone
we had to put him down
He's buried here,
under the hot tub
You just going to stand there?
come here now
Of course
Isn't everybody going to sleep?
Yes, everybody's going to sleep
Good night, Harald
Good night, Embla
Good night, Embla
Yes
Pardon, I just can't find my
shirt
How'd you sleep?
I slept like an accordion
I'll find your clothes
here, have some coffee
Turn it
Relax Harald, you're not the
only member of SAHOO
Oh really?
That's good
You have to tighten the wires
see, it's loose, tighten it
So Kolbeinn, how do you like
it here? It's all right
Isn't it? This is where I spent
all my summers as a kid
I was raised here, really
Then I had find
something to do
I started collecting rocks, there
are great rocks down by the lake
up there on the heath too
I'd gotten quite a collection,
the kids in school thought I
was insane, the did not get it
they thought I was...
weird
Hi, hi
see you found the pulp romances
Yeah, just taking a peek
skip the story of course, just
find the erotic bits, listen
"She reached out and ran her
fingers across his massive chest"
It is very...
erotic
Your son thinks I'm a total creep
looks at me with hate in his eyes
I wouldn't take it personally
No, no, he will get to know
me with time
I was wondering, think I could
break the ice with a hike
or a boat ride?
Not unless you drown him
OK, not one for black humor
no, I've never gotten this
kind of humor
Harald, listen
I don't know how much you
understood of what was happening
I'm not some criminal, you know
I'm what they call
a gambling addict
what I'm saying is,
that it's an addiction
but I've quit
thank you for telling me
But I have to get going, there
is a clogged septic tank I have
to see to. Take one for the
team, everything for SAHOO
Well Kolbeinn
Here...
Oh, one
Hi, oh wow
amazing Embla
Kolbeinn, take a look at the
fish Embla caught
Went and caught a lobster
What? you caught a lobster
No, there isn't Lobster in
Lake Þingvellir
Stebbi, Stebbi!
What?
There is some guy there
that's unacceptable
Who is that pervert?
this is not acceptable
there are children here
What's not acceptable?
Is there a problem?
Sorry to bother you, but
I'm chairman of SAHOO
and we just can not have people
naked out on the porch
these are rules we put in place
due to past experience
this is bullshit,
I was inside breastfeeding
my baby
sicko
Baby? there is a baby here?
the baby is inside sleeping
are you retarded, man
I'll hit him if he comes closer
Then I apologize, and urge you to
attend the harvest festival
What fucking harvest festival?
who cares
but, why not just feed
the baby inside, instead of
coming out here naked,
and I don't like the
word retarded
Wanker
God damn fucking pervert
how was the breakfast date;
with the Oslo woman?
well, the tower "café"
is a restaurant
It opens at noon
I told you to go there?
Sorry, I meant Vox, Southstreet
that's were I go, great place
OK
Girls, careful with the rocks
exactly, see
a car
Yes, that's your car
They are all about flushing stuff
these days, some phase
I've been looking for that
watch for almost a year
that's great, thank you.
Big no-no, girls
OK, girls, we best be
heading home, come on
And? What?
You can't just show up, Pálmi
I can't just show up what?
I'm here now
You know what I mean,
I'm with somebody here
Hi honey
Hey, this is Pálmi, my son's
father. Pálmi, meet Harald
friend of mine
Hi there
So yeah, Pálmi is here to get
Kolbeinn, turns out he's been
messaging his father, telling him
to come get him, without me
knowing, Harald, sorry, you smell
just awful
tremendously awful
I was fixing a septic tank, for the
neighbors, had an accident, sorry
I see, we once lived in a building
that had these portholes
where you threw your trash
we were always clogging that,
they were going to evict us
remember Villa?
not really a septic tank, but...
well hello, who's this babe?
This is Embla, my sister
she's a bit shy by nature
I see, but you just can't be
shy around me, no can do
I'll keep that in mind
Harald, the smell is awful
super awful
I'm just going to pop into
the shower
wow, what a swell idea
what are people doing with
these septic tanks around here?
Pálmi...
OK, so what is this
What was I supposed to do?
Kolbeinn messaged me
"everything sucks"
What was I supposed to do?
You could have called me first?
I didn't have any phone credit
Dad! There's the champ, hi
Playing football?
yeah, can we go?
OK, well, what sucks so much?
I don't know
Is that guy a drag?
Yeah
OK, pass it,
see that, haven't forgot a thing
Vilborg?
Yes?
Could you hand me the towels
from the brown bag?
In the kitchen, brown
There is no brown bag
in the kitchen
yes there is
no. It's right there
Come on,
they are outside
then we just head home...
Nice
don't be a child, Pálmi
Dad, I'll just go get my stuff
I'll be quick
all right, no hurry
free beer here and stuff
I got to get myself a
cabin one day
Sorry, I, are you all right?
Of course
I had no idea he would show up,
one message and he was off
message?
yeah
that said what?
I don't know, some nonsense
But hey, I could go
back into town with them
since Kolbeinn is leaving,
and you're very busy
I don't want to be a bother
you want to go?
No, I don't want to go
It's very nice staying here,
but since the kid is leaving
can't he just be with his dad?
He can, they are fine for a few
hours, then Pálmi needs to
meet someone somewhere,
goes to the bar, leaves
the kid home alone
I see
but don't take it personally
Nope. OK?
Yeah.
I'm going check on them
So you have some time off?
me, yeah
You have some time off, Pálmi
you also Vilborg, everybody
is on vacation
I was just thinking, why leave?
Why not just not leave?
What do you mean?
I mean, I could get you a place
We can stay here all of us,
there is the festival tomorrow
the boy will like that
It wouldn't cost you,
free of charge
that's not such a bad idea
exactly, could be fun
yeah, hot tub and stuff
then I want to stay with dad
We'll see about that, Kolbeinn
Of course you can stay over at
my cabin, I'm fully dressed, too
Yes, I apologize...
What is your name?
Pálmi.
but they call me El-Palmo
El-Palmo, like in Spain
Embla!
Great, it's settled then
I'll find you a cabin
Wonderful
What shall we do tonight?
How about a barbecue?
That would be sweet, man
awesome
He can also stay in my
room, Harald
No, no, don't be silly
hey, the old man's still got it
No, I'm kidding
Embla, could he help me with
Just help me with the...
what's this Pálmi, you are
going to be staying here?
He invited me
Invited you?
Pálmi, El-Palmo?
Are you a mongoloid?
she was having fun
He's a good man, an artist
No, no, not a bum
Yes, I know how it is with
these artistic types
no, see, he's the father of my
fiancées son
yes, I'm in a relationship
No, I'm not joking
No I'm not imagining it
why would I be imagining it?
Anyway, the cabin? Oh, you
are coming up here?
OK, no, that's that then
Bye
Maradonna passes to Pele and,
Eiður Smárason scores!
Idiot
Don't feel threatened boys, but
I have a killer bicycle kick
No, kidding
I couldn't do a bicycle kick
if my life depended on it
I bet you can, Kolbeinn
Just kicking the ball around
Right
...you want to play?
OK
I'm game, if you think
you can take it
No, see, I have to start
getting fliers out,
advertise the harvest festival
I was thinking you might
come along, Kolbeinn?
take a little walk
No, just a thought
hey, sure, I can come with
we can all go together
Excellent, excellent
Why don't you just get your
hair done, brighten your day
Yes, yes it will
No, no
yes, a haircut,
it will brighten your day,
yes it will
Hi, Embla
Can I come in
Wow, so many kitties
How many cats is that?
I don't know Vilborg
I haven't counted them
Who is this?
That is my mother
She is your mother?
no, just my mother
me and Harald are half-siblings
We only have the same dad
this is information that he
should have given you
he never says anything
Has she passed away?
No Vilborg, she has not
she lives up north
She is a hairdresser
Ólöf, hi? You've spoken with
them? OK, and?
Then there are 90 houses over
there, we will get to that later
Kolbeinn, here
there is one over there
Hi there, thanks
He's a good boy, Harald
yes, exactly
I don't know you, but I hope
you're a good boy too
Right, right...
Waffles, nice
You are making waffles
you've found the waffle-iron
Now I'm celebrating
Celebrating what?
Just, life and stuff
Embla, no, Pálmi take over
come with me, take over
what? are you insane?
I don't know how...
Ólöf has finally spoken with
the bank management
They've agreed not to prosecute
OK, that's good
That's good? That's great
Harald I might have gone to jail
I get to pay them back, no trial
I loose the job of course
But that's just fine
Wait, that's fine?
God yes, I was bored stiff with
that bank stuff anyway
also not a healthy workplace
for someone like me
I just want to do something new
go to school or something
what?
No, just, you're more like the
person I met in Oslo, lighter
yeah, maybe it's the cabin
or the clean air or something
Or me?
No, it's definitely not you
Kidding, it is you
Mom. Dad is burning everything
could you come
Hello, this is not working
not at all, where is the chef?
A good man, yes, I vouch for him
personally, a single father
A single father,
very charm...
OK...
And is that...
You'll just come stay with me.
Dream on, Pálmi
invite me and see what happens
Hot tub and everything
Kids, I've got the steaks here
Yes I'm still on the line,
you just hang up
It's made of potatoes
You didn't hear me?
You've started?
just picking at it
Could you get a cabin?
no, not really, its more
complicated than I thought
I still have one place in mind
I can also just drive home
tomorrow, I don't need to sleep
can't he just spend one night
up in the loft with Kolbeinn?
I'm not sure Harald is OK with
having your Ex super-lover
spend the night
No, no, it's no problem
I'll get a cabin
You know what you are?
My little mister fix-it
have some wine with us
Know what, I think I'll just
have a coke
Harald
all right, just a drop
just to get the taste
thought so
my oh my, who is that babe
you sure can bring it, I thought
we had Paris Hilton in the house
You're very pretty, honey
I got this sweater for Christmas
years ago, It's a used up rag
Oh no, that's no rag
The only used up rag here
is me
All right, Embla, lets eat
you have to get to bed early
if you're going to fish tomorrow
Harald, don't be so boring
I don't want to fish forever
why do you say I'm
boring, Embla?
Because you are
Now you are being a rude, Embla
You don't say things like that
You tell the truth.
Embla!
Well well, siblings fighting,
that's no good
Yes, let's not fight
tonight we celebrate
wait, what is it that
you keep celebrating?
just life, and stuff
Cheers, cheers
is he always this grumpy?
super-lover, really Pálmi?
Hey, dance with me.
No
Come on, why don't you
want to dance with me?
then I'll just dance with Embla
no, no, Embla, Embla
Embla is a great dancer, she
took classes and got an award
we took classes Harald
you are very good too
No, no
Well, how about coffee?
No, not coffee, I'll never
fall asleep
Maybe this was not such a
good idea with the extra cabin
I just wanted to delay the
departure a little
oh, thanks
Say, is Embla your half-sister
yes, she is
I always find it a little silly
calling her my half sister
But that's the truth
Dad knocked up a woman in
one of these cabins, years ago
A married woman
mom wanted it this way
So, my man, you got a cabin?
No, I'm sorry, it just didn't
work out
Damn
I do have an old tent, but, no
that's not, never mind
Hey, that's great, thanks
the fridge is free for all, right?
beer and whatnot?
Go right ahead
OK, a tent, we're going to have
him hovering in the backyard?
A hard worker, that man of yours
you in a tent,
can't quite picture it
I can do that, I can do everything
I set my mind to
You of all people
should know that
if you can start a new family with
this guy, I can sleep in a tent
Start a family, I hardly know him
we met last week
You're talking nonsense
he's just a very good guy
I didn't know pitching one tent
was such a big deal, look at him
I don't remember you pitching
any tents
don't make fun of me, Vilborg
for real, don't do it
you know it hurts when you
say stuff like that
because it's you, you know
See, see
Hey, look what I found, Vodka
in the cabinet? Yes, top one
do you want some, Harald?
Isn't it my turn? Your turn
six twos, No, two sixes,
You're retarded. Here
OK, you've won, but I lost
on purpose, I let you guys win
to protect your tiny egos
sounds implausible
No, you're implausible
that's bullshit
Is everything all right? Yup
Maybe a bit too much to drink?
I'm not drunk
It's a bit loud
Yes honey, we'll keep it down
what is such a pretty girl doing
in bed so early
Don't
Harald, can you play a few songs
Yes I'll play
She's so cute, Harald. Don't
you think so? So cute
Yes, Embla is all right
Good night
Keep it down
close your eyes
they're closed
you have to close your eyes, I'm
not playing unless you close them
they are closed
for real, don't make me feel
lousy, by not drinking with me
I'm not making you lousy,
I'm drinking a lot here
because you know all my buttons
this is good
Stop it. What?
Don't do this, don't
No, no no
Hello, do we really need
the singing?
We got some great music
on the hi-fi out here
Is something the matter?
nope...
This party has perhaps run
its course by now
I'm sorry, that was hasty
I did not mean to belittle
you as a musician
No really, you sing like
an angel, my man
I'd be very grateful if we
could end this party
yes, don't listen to Pálmi
Pálmi is a drunk idiot who is
going out to his tent, right now
Yeah, OK, the tent, right now
No problem
Say, maybe I'll take something to
read with me
don't touch those! put it back
put it back there
I don't want you touching
anything in here. Get out
cheers, ol' fella
What kind of idiot...
He's an idiot
he's also a looser, and he's
not feeling very well
Feeling well? You know what,
I'll get him out into the tent
don't you come out there,
I don't want you to start a brawl
A brawl? I'm starting a brawl?
I'm some brawler?
just leave it to me.
I'm an engineer
Man this is so strange
you tidying up
strange being here with you
and yet not being with you
seeing you with another man
my son with another...
fucking strange
Could you not start this now?
I'm not starting anything
I'm just talking to you
Pálmi, what's going on
Sorry, sorry
you must blow out the candles
What's this guy's damn problem
I'm sorry, it just all hit me
everything I'm missing
everything I've messed up
I know I should have stood by
you better
I'm just not very strong
I'm much weaker than you
Pálmi, please, lets not
OK...
remember to lock the door
What's the matter with him
I got to lock this door
I'm going
walk me to the tent?
No man, that's not cool
OK...
Good night
one kiss
No man, get out
Vilborg, you have to talk to me
I'm talking to you
please talk to me
stop it, Pálmi
Don't I deserve a talk
I am talking to you
you're my sons mother who
is my own flesh and blood
you never quit...
Vilborg!
Vilborg?
Harald?
Harald?
Haraldur
Wha... you're not dressed yet?
We decided to come together,
your mother and I
to our separate cabins, of course
I just gave her a ride
Havel got me to come,
after all these years
I got the bags, I'll just put
them inside
Hey, we have to practice
Practice, practice, practice
know what your dad always used
to say when I wanted to practice?
he said, Havel dear, you practice
so hard it's enough for both of us
no wait, wait
that is not what he said
Yes, it is
but it was funny somehow
I'm not saying it right
She's asleep?
yes, or, no, I don't know
why didn't you call ahead?
I called...
did I come at a bad time?
No, no, just would have liked
to tidy up the place
my guestbooks
I'd forgotten about them
how can you collect something
for twenty years and then
just forget about it?
Oh my god
what time is it?
what, going to work?
did you hear some people?
it's day, god damn it
Yesterday?
Oh, Harald, he will think
that I, shit
let him think what he wants
I hate you Pálmi, why did you
drag me out to this tent
you stupid cry-baby
I'll not let you ruin this for me
you've ruined enough
wait, where are you going?
what's the matter with you?
Where are you going?
out of the tent
No, your not going anywhere
I'm not going to let you run off
into the arms of that doofus
You have no say in that
What are you going to tell him?
just that I fell asleep
you're going to say I'm impotent?
what happened in the tent
stays between the two of us
nothing happened in this tent
listen, I know, that we had some
trouble in our relationship
but I've found a cure,
this is not about you, you
self-centered idiot
wow, now I'm a self-centered
idiot, I'm just telling you
that I found a solution to my
problem a long time ago
I have pills
that work
Damn it!
Coffee, coffee, coffee
nothing like it
Except tea
Mom?
Hi, honey
you were out fishing?
didn't catch anything
Kolbeinn, come here
we're going
Nice to meet you
Hi
Vilborg, wait
Kolbeinn is upstairs, my mother
why did you invite me to this
fucking cabin, why are all these
people here, why don't you
just leave me be
What do you mean why?
Aren't we trying to have a
relationship?
I thought we were together
you don't know me at all
you don't know me or what
position I am in
you should just leave me
alone, no one understands me
least of all myself. I thought it
was over between you and Pálmi
if I may interject, can we just
spare the boy in all of this?
Spare the boy, what are you
talking about?
I don't mean to interfere, but
I think something has to be said
what? Pálmi piss off, who
invited you here?
did you tell him that nothing
happened in the tent
again you're lying to everybody
that I'm impotent, I'm not!
are you insane
Mom, I asked him to come
I don't want to be here
dad is taking me home
I'm moving in with dad
what are you talking about?
Pálmi, did you tell him this?
I didn't say a thing
Dad, you said I could live with
you. No. yes.
that's not what I said,
I never said that, I said
that I wished that it were
possible
Pálmi, you're lying to the child?
are you insane?
who's lying here, I'm not lying
Oh, so you're taking Kolbeinn,
Is he going to live with you?
is that what you want?
Damn that's low, Vilborg
didn't I just say we should
spare the kid,
god damn bitch
Dickwad
are you out of your mind?
you disgust me
Go to hell
you're crazy, see a shrink
I hate you, I hate you!
way to hot, I never use these
at the swimming pool
feeling better, dear?
sure
That's how it goes...
sometimes you just need
to vent a little, let it all out
you know what I mean
I haven't forgot what it's like
to be young and stupid
Now I'm just old and stupid
we all have our rough patches
I was married to an alcoholic
for thirty years, I should know
There you go, good,
at the same time
Away, down and pull
I see. Good
Captain Kolbeinn,
braves the waves
yeah
My uncle Havel
Exactly
put the beer under the table
there are two beers per house
I'll keep my eyes peeled
it's no laughing matter
why so tense, Harald? You're
not the only member of SAHOO
I don't understand why it had
to be like that last night
suddenly this was some party
some bender
Is alcohol an issue
no
has it got something to do
with the gambling?
I don't know this stuff
No, it's got nothing to do with
gambling addiction, and no
I'm not an alcoholic
what happened was just...
Uncle Havel kisses with tongue!
Uncle Havel kisses with tongue!
Embla, I'm not your uncle
we're not related
Embla, calm down
what's going on, Harald?
I don't know what's going on
Is something going on?
No, just a misunderstanding
let me explain, Havel
Calm down dear, lets have a
talk, come on
what is this?
just a misunderstanding
we have to practice for the
festival, Harald, I insist
I'm having a very hard time
with that electric guitar you got
I don't like it, this is where
I put my foot down
I would really appreciate
a ride back into town
Yes, but I have to be here for
the festival, I'm chairman of
this fucking cabin association
I have to be there
but I can take you this evening
It's fine, I'll get a cab
too bad about your sister
back there
Yes, too bad
I don't need to explain this to
you, do I?
Your mother and I, are now
what you would call a couple
that's none of my business
Hello, hello, one two
Well then, greetings and
welcome to the SAHOO festival
Havel here wrote a song for us
we'll begin with, he's given you
the fliers with the lyrics
we all know Havel
maybe a bit too well
why is there no sound?
come hither friends
let's feast together
Kids and mothers
and kinsmen all
No, the mountain with the smoke
is on the other side, yes
OK, thanks
Mom, Harald can drive us after
the festival
then we don't have to take a
taxi from Þingvellir
It's a long way. It is
And expensive. Yes very
but we'll take care of
ourselves, love
like we always do
we're going home
home
So, that was that
next up is "one summer night"
and everyone should join in
just a reminder, only two
beers per cabin, two
one summer night
in a faraway dale
in a small meadow
I shared a secret...
pardon this, Harald had
urgent matters to attend to
shall we just get right
into the polka?
What do you all say?
yeah
You're going?
I called a cab
you don't want to see the
festival?
I bet the kid would like it,
accordions, a bouncy castle
is this how we say goodbye?
more or less
not quite how I pictured
it in Oslo
please Harald, we were abroad
we were lonely, drunk, horny
but did we ever get the chance
to get to know each other?
we're splitting up before we
even get together
I was thinking
aren't you just being a bit too
serious about all of this?
If nothing happened in the tent
then nothing happened
done deal
And if something happened, then
that doesn't matter either
you know...
my dad, who was horrible
basically an asshole, but he taught
me one thing
sex is just sex, it doesn't matter,
you don't have to take it seriously
can't we just meet up in town
and give this a chance?
you know what, Harald, I've made
nothing but mistakes for years
I have to start doing
something right
hi
But, why not make one more
mistake and...
...let me be that mistake?
are you going to invite me in?
by all means. wine?
White wine? Yes.
welcome to Norway
thank you...
No worries, I'm not inside
I lit it, I lit it myself
Are you insane
Harald, Vilborg and the boy?
they're gone, no worries
Embla, I got your stuff
here, take it
I set it on fire, because I hate
that fucking cabin
The guestbooks? Guestbooks?
fuck, I forgot them
You wanted to keep them?
no, I don't care about them
did you take the gas-canister?
No, fuck
I've always dreamt of burning
that place down
No, just a fantasy, just like
wanting to sleep with the
anchor woman, you never
act on it, just a fantasy
Harald, Harald?!
The lady is here
Is everyone allright?
I've fucked it all up, everything
I've ruined everything
we're not a mistake, Harald
Havel, you have some Cocoa?
No, Swiss-Miss maybe. Great
lets go to your place and give the
kids some hot chocolate
come, come along Embla, and
don't worry about the fishing
gear, uncle Havel will buy some
first thing tomorrow morning
I have to get a longer rod, I'm
tired of this short rod
yes, longer rod
I can't remember the last time
we were alone
Hey,
I know a better place
come on
Pervert
Don't, just...
No, no
Yes, over here. Harald!
come on
I'm not stepping in there
It's just water
you have to come get me
you're something else
You're bonkers
do I hear an accordion?
always,
no one escapes the
accordion fellowship
Vilborg
come
So listen,
I'm not impotent
Oh, I know that
THE END
you can say everything these days
everyone is so open, no taboos
I heard a man on the radio,
talking about the sex life of
senior citizens
nothing is sacred these days
what a wonderful day
no, he was so outspoken this guy
he said there was action in every
other room at the nursing homes
and men masturbate all their
lives, that's what males are like
no one spoke of masturbation
in my youth
we always called it churning
no one talks about
churning himself today
and isn't that just fine?
