10 timer til Paradis (2012) - full transcript

The 38-year-old bodybuilder Dennis would really like to find true love. He has never had a girlfriend and lives alone with his mother in a suburb of Copenhagen. When his uncle marries a girl from Thailand, Dennis decides to try his own luck on a trip to Pattaya, as it seems that love is easier to find in Thailand. He knows that his mother would never accept another woman in his life, so he lies and tells her that he is going to Germany. Dennis has never been out traveling before and the hectic Pattaya is a huge cultural shock for him. The intrusive Thai girls give big bruises to Dennis' naive picture of what love should be like, and he is about to lose hope when he unexpectedly meets the Thai woman Toi.


Aren't you going to eat?

No. I am kind of allergic to prawn
- Then why did you order it?

I don't know.
I didn't think it had prawns in it

In a prawn cocktail?
- Yes ...

What do you do for work?

I am co-owner of a tanning salon.
Sun City.

It's located on Beach Road.
Down behind the station.

Right. I know where that is.
It's a great place.

Yes.

How about you?

I am a professional bodybuilder.



Can you live off of that?
- No, it's a little difficult.

But I also work as a gatekeeper
at Danish Crown.

Are you looking at my breasts?
- No.

You're staring at my breasts.
- No, not at all.

I was just looking at your necklace.

Dennis?

Yes.

Where have you been?

I've been to the cinema with Lars.
I said that already.

No, you didn't.
- I did.

No, you didn't.
Don't contradict me.

Why is your phone off?
- Because I've been to the cinema.

What did you watch?

An American film.
It was really poor.



I'm really tired
so we can talk about it tomorrow.

I've been so worried.
I thought something had happened.

I get scared.

There's no reason for that.
It was just a misunderstanding.

And I am back home now after all, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Good night.
- Good night.

(Music from the radio)

(News on the radio)

That's a nice dress you're wearing.
- Thank you.

Did you remember to lock the door?
- Yes.

Are you sure?

Cheers.

Cheers, aunt. Cheers, Dennis.

Cheers, cousin. Cheers, sister.
- Cheers.

Yes ... It is not that
I am a good speaker at all.

But I want to say a few words in
occasion of this special day.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

Help..!

Well ... Did you enjoy yourself today?

Yes.

He seemed happy, huh?
- Yes.

Now let's see if it lasts.
She doesn't even speak Danish.

Good night, mother.
- Good night.

Come on, Dennis.

Hey.

Come on, Lars. The last set.

Ten reps, right?
- Yes.

It's fucking harder
than I thought.

Beautiful! Good, Dennis.

It's super, Dennis.

Thank you, darling.

They were pretty tough, huh?
- Yes.

I have asked the entire neighbourhood
if anyone wanted to help. But no.

This for that, right?
- Yes, of course.

Well, let's have a look.

I have collected some material
that you can borrow to look at.

There is some different stuff here.
About both beach and city life.

It is a beautiful country
and the people are incredibly sweet.

They're beautiful. It is easier
to make contact with them down there.

Take it home and look at it.

Give me a call if you want
to join me for a trip there.

Can you turn that off?

Can you turn it off?

What?
- My offer from this Friday no longer stands.

Just so you know.
- Okay. That's fine.

You're actually not really my type.
- Okay.

Fair. Bye.
- Bye.

I'm thinking about
going to Germany next week.

To Germany?
- Yes.

Why so?
- There is a competition there.

You've not said anything about that.
- That's why I say it now.

Well that's nice.

Where is it in Germany?
- Düsseldorf.

How long will you be there?

A week. Maybe a little more.

You also have some
duties at home, you know.

I've lost my appetite.

Mom?

I made breakfast.

Will you please come out?

Mom?

Aren't you going to say goodbye?
- I am tired.

So you won't even say goodbye properly?

Goodbye.

You have reached Ingrid and Dennis
Petersen's answering machine.

We are not home at the moment.
Leave a message at the tone.

Hi, Mom. It's me.

I just wanted to call and say,
I made it down here in one piece.

I had hoped to get hold of you,
but ... I'll call again later.

Well I'll see you.

I love you. Hey.

You have reached Ingrid and Dennis
Petersen's answering machine. We are ...

Hello?

Hey.

Hey.

Is that you there?
- Yes.

How did it go?

It was alright.

Did you win anything?

Oh. I placed 6th,
So it was pretty disappointing.

Well ... I am sorry to hear that.

You've got a tan.

Yes. I went to a tanning salon.

I called a few times.
- Well ...

I was actually a little worried.
- There's no reason for that.

I'm glad you're well.

You too.

Hey.
- Hello. Are you Dennis?

Yes, I am.
- This way.

How much is it?
- 4000 plus consumption.

And three months up front.

This is the bedroom.
- Yes.

It would be easy to split it up
to make room for a children's room.

Yes.

Nice view, huh?
- Yes.

Yes?

Do you have time to talk?

Now?
- Yes.

Yes. Okay.

There is something I
need to talk to you about.

I didn't go to Germany.
I've went to Thailand.

That's why I have a tan.

What?

I went down there, because ...

I had talked a little with Bent.

He told me
that it was easier to find a girl.

So he told me where
I had to go and such.

It's actually managed
to find a girl.

Her name is Toi.

We're together.

That is not funny, Dennis.

I'm sorry
I lied to you.

Can you please leave?

Can you please leave now?

Mom ...

Can you please leave when I tell you?

Get out! Out!

Get out of here. Out!

Sit down.

What do you expect will happen now?

I don't know.

Is she your girlfriend?

Yes.

Tell me about her.

There is not much to tell.

I met her down there.

Have you slept with her?
- Mom, I don't want to talk about that.

We have never acted like this
towards each other before

If you can lie like that to someone,
do you really love them?

One thing is that you have been sex tourist
in Thailand ... Do not interrupt me.

One thing is that you have been
sex tourist in Thailand ...

That's fucking gross.

Is that the kind of man you are?

And you lied to me. Everything
You have said, was one big lie.

I know.

Do you even think about what you are
doing, when you treat me like this?

How much you are hurting me?

I'm sorry.

As you can probably understand,
I can not accept this.

I can not accept this relationship, and
I insist that you stop it at once.

Can we agree that you are going
to end the relationship

Yes, we can.

Fair.

Then I think
we should try to move on -

and forget about your mistrust.

You hurt me so much.
Imagine that you could treat me like that.

Sorry.

Fucking gross.

Hey.
- Hey.

Hey.
- Hey.

Did you have fun?
- Yes.

Did he like the gift?
- Yes. He was very happy.

I hope you have a little appetite left.
- I do.

Hey.
- Hello.

What are you doing here?
I thought you were at the gym.

I was, but I just had to
buy a few things.

I didn't think you had
time for that.

Well I don't, really.

Who is this?

Well this is Aois sister.

She is visiting from Thailand.

She lives with Aoi and Bent.

Oh. I didn't know that.

So ... You're shopping underwear?

Yes, we are.

I think we're going to have
to leave now, mom.

Dennis!
Is it her?

Is it her?

Answer me!
Is it her?!

Mom?

What happened?

How long has she been here?

That's none of your business.

You're just like your father.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

I knew him. You didn't.

When is she going back?

She isn't.

I'm moving.

Huh?

You heard me.

I would never let you down like that ...
- Mom, stop it.

You can't.

Don't leave me.
