And Breathe Normally (2018) - full transcript
Two women's lives will intersect while trapped in circumstances unforeseen. Between a struggling Icelandic mother and an asylum seeker from Guinea-Bissau, a delicate bond will form as both strategize to get their lives back on track.
NETFLIX PRESENTS
That will be 8,120 crowns.
Can you put 6,500 on my card?
I'll pay the rest in cash.
Yes.
You're still missing 229 crowns.
Oh?
You still need 59 more.
- Don't worry, I've got it.
- No thanks, it's OK.
I'll put the rest on my card.
It's declined.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- We're gonna beat him, guys.
- I want to be the green one.
Do you want to be the blue one?
Yes, we beat that one!
Sweetie, come get dressed.
Eldar, we are in a hurry.
- That one is not mine.
- Are you sure?
Of course, silly. It's this one.
Are you hiding your coat from me?
Gotcha.
Put your shoes on.
Let's go.
- Remember?
- What, sweetie?
- Did you forget?
- What?
Oh, right.
Were we going to do that today?
Remember? You promised.
Why do they have to live in cages?
Because there's no one to look after them.
Can't they just look after themselves?
- They are not allowed to.
- Why aren't they allowed?
I don't know. I guess someone decided it.
- Who decided it?
- Honey, I just don't know.
Strange to have to live in a cage,
don't you think so?
So, which cat do you want to rescue,
honey?
Eighteen thousand?
To rescue this miserable thing?
There is of course worming,
registration, vaccines...
I would have thought they paid people
for such a good deed.
Well...
I guess so.
Eldar, honey,
I think it's best we save this for later.
Wait a minute.
We can settle this later.
His name should be...
Maybe...
What should Daddy name you, Músi, dear?
Músi.
Don't be scared, Músi, dear.
I'll show you your new neighborhood,
so that you'll know your way around.
Come here.
Mommy, we forgot
to get our mail yesterday.
And also the day before that.
Yeah, let's not worry
about that now.
Can I have the keys?
Sweetie, we haven't got time for this.
You are already late.
Mommy, please.
Eldar.
Sit.
Músi, sit.

Músi.
Come.
- Weren't they going to send an email?
- What?
Mommy, what?
POLICE DEPARTMENT, SUDURNES
Are you fucking kidding me?
Did you maybe win the lottery?
No, not quite.
But still...
You look really pretty, Mommy.
Don't you think so?
Yeah. And your hair is so shiny.
Don't you think so, Músi?
All passengers entering Schengen
must show their passports
during passport control upon arrival
to the first country within the area.
After that, there are no more checks.
Not until they leave the Schengen area
and go to North America, for example.
Then their documents are checked.
Any questions?
As you are all aware,
at the end of the trainee period,
you will find out who is given
a full-time position.
And your performance here, of course,
will determine the selection.
YOUR APPLICATION TO INCREASE YOUR
OVERDRAFT LIMIT HAS BEEN DECLINED.
As Sigvaldi mentioned during the lecture
we have people leaving the Schengen area
or in transit
to the USA, Canada or Britain.
So, we just need to check
their passports carefully.
Check their profile.
Always look at their photo.
Place it in the scanner.
You see the database here,
and if you see something strange,
then you can check under the UV light.
This is a French passport. So, it has
this fluorescent ink, as you see here.
The texture is a bit different.
Just make sure you check
all the requirements
to ensure that it is a legitimate,
valid passport.
Please, can he come?
- What does his mom say about that?
- She will definitely say yes.
- She said yes.
- Yes!
Kolbrún said yes.
Isn't that cat candy?
Yeah, but anything Músi eats,
I can eat as well. I'm taming him.
- That's not possible.
- Yes, it is.
- Wanna taste?
- Yes.
Ew.
No, I don't want any.
GARDAR K. LANDLORD
- Nice flight.
- Thank you.
Wasn't that yellow?
Isn't it supposed to be blue?
- Yeah. You're right. Well done.
- Thanks.
Can you take her up with Arnar?
- Me?
- Yes.
OK, sure.
Sigvaldi is upstairs.
He will take over.
Don't you want to stay?
It's good for you to observe.
Open the door.
Did you see the game yesterday?
The game?
Keflavik beat ÍR
in the last few seconds of overtime.
OK.
Wow.
It's online. I can show you later.
OK.
So...
How long does she need to stay there?
- Who?
- The woman.
Right. I'm not sure.
Not too long, probably.
She broke the law, you do realize that?
Yeah.
Pretends to be someone
who might not even exist.
Exactly.
We don't know anything about these people.
They could be working for...
I don't know.
We just don't know.
Right.
Totally.
MISS YOU
WHEN DO THE KIDS'
SWIMMING LESSONS START?
It went really well yesterday, right?
Yeah. Or... I think so.
The prosecution of Adja Sindjakan.
The Court has reviewed
case documents one to four,
and the verdict is as follows.
The accused, Adja Sindjakan,
born April 10, 1983,
citizen of Guinea Bissau,
is sentenced to 30 days in prison.
The accused shall pay all legal costs,
in the amount of 102,300 crowns,
which is the fee of her defense
attorney, Asgeir Finnbogason.
How about a Torres Salmos?
Isn't it Spanish, or Italian or something?
Take it out now.
It needs to be at room temperature.
Alright, honey.
I will give you a call later.
- Mommy...
-I'm coming, sweetie.
How long will it be, Mommy?
Honey, it is a mystery adventure trip.
You aren't supposed to know
anything about it in advance.
It will spoil all the fun.
- But is it a kids' adventure?
- Uh...
For kids. That kids like?
I guess it's an adventure
for all kinds of people, like us.
Oh.
But am I going to school tomorrow?
Yes.
Sweetie, of course you will
go to school tomorrow.
But the adventure trip
is a secret adventure.
- Secret?
- Nobody can know.
Why not?
Are you going to be a good boy and come
with Mommy on the secret adventure?
But remember,
nobody can know except for us.
- And Músi.
- Yes, and Músi.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Honey.
That's okay. Come.
How long do you want it stored?
Uh... I'll be in touch.
I'm not sure when...
I'll get my new apartment.
OK.
All right.
MOM NORWAY
Has the adventure trip started, Mommy?
We are going to have so much fun.
Hey, honey.
Can you wait outside for a little bit?
- Why?
- I won't be long.
- OK.
- Alright?
- Oh, hi, Lára.
- Hi.
Wanna come in?
- It's been too long.
- I know.
- Where have you been?
- Just around. Here and there.
- So... Everything alright?
- Yeah.
- The boy is doing well?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You have him back?
- Yeah.
That's great.
I was just wondering...
if my room...
You know, my old room...
Perhaps it's...
Right. I see. It is... Damn.
My buddy Keli has sort of moved in
and taken it over.
- OK...
- I didn't know that you were...
I just thought I would drop by.
But the couch... The couch is good.
Nobody has complained so far.
Hm.
I see. The boy also?
Hm.
Yeah, we'll figure something out.
No, it's no problem.
I just thought I'd stop by.
Here...
- We'll figure it out.
- No, I'm good.
Seriously. It's no problem at all.
I'm fine.
Are you sure?
How hot does it get in the countries
that the airplanes fly to, Mommy?
I don't know.
Maybe 40, 45 degrees.
Wow, is that a lot?
I think so.
Do you think you need
to wear shorts there?
Probably.
What's your favorite country
you've been to
where you had to wear shorts?
Hm...
Atlavík.
That's not a country.
I mean a different country.
Honey.
I haven't been to any other country.
When I grow up,
we're all going to Benidorm,
where we can wear shorts all day long.
Músi will come, as well.
Yes, sweetie.
- That will be fun.
- Yeah.
Músi, are you sure you need to pee?
Here you go.
Don't go far, Músi.
Músi?
Músi?
Músi, dear.
Músi?
Músi?
Músi, are you here?
Músi!
Músi!
SUPERVISOR
Fuck.
Eldar, honey?
Eldar?
Eldar!
Eldar!
112, emergency services.
Emergency services, can I help you?
Hello?
Where's Eldar?
Eldar?
Mommy, hi.
Where the hell have you been, boy?
Let's go.
She saved Músi.
We have got to get going, honey.
We are very late.
Where to?
Músi.
Músi.
Aren't you going to
give the lady a ride?
She saved Músi.
Goodbye.
She lives here?
The house is a little bit dirty.
Don't you think so?
Perhaps they should paint their place?
Yeah.
Maybe some kids live there, as well.
You think so, Mommy?
Do you think she has kids?
I don't know.
Can I help you?
Yes, good morning. I was wondering if
a deposit had been made to my account?
What is your social security number?
Social security number: 100683-4279.
Just a moment.
It seems to have been done already.
Yes.
Thanks. Thank you.
Did they go over this with you?
A little bit.
As you know, we bring all dubious
passports here for further inspection.
Then we send them out,
usually because of court hearings.
But then they all usually end up
here again.
- And are they all fake?
- It varies.
Some of them are legal, but stolen.
Others are completely or partly forged.
- Yes, there are all different kinds.
- Hm. Right.
DEAR PARENTS, ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY THE SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED.
- Where did you leave him?
- I don't know.
Get in, sweetie.
This is the stronger
sauce, and here is the milder one.
Yes, I think I'd prefer
the milder one.
Thank you very much.
Good afternoon.
Today we are introducing
delicious chicken from Holta.
We have two kinds of sauce.
- May I?
- Of course. It's all organic chicken.
Happy chickens who have been allowed
to roam free, from what I am told.
- Do you mind if I take two extra?
- Go ahead, no problem.
- For my other kids. They're in the car.
- I understand. Take as many as you like.
You know how jealous kids can get
over the most ridiculous things.
Absolutely, no problem. Enjoy.
OK, sweetie. Your brothers
are waiting in the car.
- What brothers, Mommy?
- I'm just joking.
We're on our adventure trip. We're doing
all kinds of fun secret stuff together.
Now?
Hello. Are you coming with us
on the mystery adventure trip?
It's the lady who saved Músi, remember?
Músi is at a cat hotel
while we are on our adventure trip.
He is in a cage,
but Mommy says he likes it.
Can you put her on the phone?
Oh, my little darling...
You speak like a big girl now.
No...
everything is fine, don't worry.
Mommy...
has just got some things to figure out,
but Mommy is going to find a solution,
real quick.
Yes.
Eldar?
Eldar. Sweetie?
Where is my mommy?
Vork.
Work-ing.
Eldar, school.
You mean to go to school.
Adja stupid.
Yeah.
Can you comb it so it sticks up?
Your son brought this to school.
We, of course, assumed it was yours...
and were about to contact the authorities.
But your friend tells us
it belongs to her.
You have to be careful what kind of
people you let around your child.
Yes.
This could have gone terribly wrong.
Yes.
I will make sure this is disposed of.
Thank you.
We were thinking of contacting
the police...
but I'm going to leave it up to you.
And that stays between the two of us.
BRINGS HIS FORTUNES HOME!
This is you.
Is that your friend?
She is pretty.
An angel...
I once had a cat that died.
Then I got a new one.
Beaten to death.
Maybe you can get a new friend here,
in Iceland?
Come on in.
Have you been tired lately?
No, no.
Or maybe a little bit.
You are, of course, aware of
the evaluation of the past few weeks?
Yes.
I just received your results...
and everything looks...
pretty good for you.
She was crying today.
Adja?
Sweetie.
Sweetie, we are going on a little ride.
Músi, jump.
Músi, jump!
Can you roll over?
- May I run to the bathroom real quick?
- Yeah, sure.
That will be 8,120 crowns.
Can you put 6,500 on my card?
I'll pay the rest in cash.
Yes.
You're still missing 229 crowns.
