Levoton veri (1946) - full transcript
A love triangle of two sisters, both passionately desiring the same man.
Levoton Veri (1946)
So, so, so, so, so
Stop kicking, girl
I would, but
it tickles so nicely
That's good, the foot
will soon get better that way
Doesn't this feel good?
Yes, it does
That's what I thought,
it will be fine
Now we'll put the foot to rest
Oh, the doctor is so good,
taking care of poor me
Is it, is it
going to be shorter now?
I don't think so but
we'll have to perform -
a small operation
later in the autumn
We have agreed that
you will travel to Leipzig -
to Doctor Grin.
He will fix your foot
The doctor
is so terribly cute
Cute, really? No woman -
has ever
called me that before
But you are not a
woman yet, are you?
Excuse me!
Aren't I a woman?
Not yet
Well, almost anyway, -
or what
does the doctor think?
Fi-fiuuuu!!
You may be right, woman
And such a pretty one, too
Yes, other boys say so, too
Well?
Well?
Isn't the doctor
going to give me a kiss?
You'll be fooling
lots of boys yet
I think that's fooling, -
when you call a woman
pretty but don't kiss her
But you are not
quite a woman yet -
so, put those kisses out of
your mind and have a rest
If you are really good you
can get up in the afternoon -
to try out your chair and
maybe even play a little
Oh, how nice you are
There's the kiss after all
But I don't regret it, not at all
Not many women do
Tell me, dear doctor,
after the operation, -
can I, can I still dance?
Absolutely,
I promise you that
Good bye, little woman,
I'll come back soon
Bye, bye Doctor and thank
you so very much about
So very pretty,
nearly a woman
Ouh, what a pig
Well, what
did the doctor say?
Oh auntie, auntie,
he was so terribly nice -
and so terribly
kind and so terribly...
Listen auntie, can
I ask you something -
between us women?
- Well?
Listen, has
anyone ever told you -
that you are very pretty?
But dear child, what
are you talking about?
That would be terrible.
- It itsn't
And then he said, that
I can try the new chair
Where is it? Oh, there
Well? Isn't it great?
Hilja helps a little
Can you? - Yes, yes
I'll just go around the room
You are a wonderful woman
Did you hurt yourself?
Yes
Oh dear, a little scratch
You must take care of me,
you are a doctor after all
A beautiful foot, just as
beautiful as your sister's
Oh, it's not nice to say
so to another woman
I am jealous of you
even to my own sister
Are you?
Yes I am
Hi, Outi
Hello, little mother
Isn't life wonderful, the sun
shines and the birds sing?
I'd like to take the whole world
into my arms and kiss it
Oh dear, forgive me,
I didn't remember -
you cannot
enjoy this summer
Nonsense, I am
as happy as a lark
Soon I can
walk with crutches, -
and then I go abroad -
and when I come back I'll
be as healthy as anything
And then I
can dance and love
But I let it slip after all
What? - This love
I am terribly in love
What are you talking about?
Our little one in love?
Don't be silly, it was only
What do you mean?
A-ha, you are in love as well
Oh, how nice. Listen,
don't you think it's great, -
when it churns in your
stomach, that love, I mean, -
and rises up into
your heart and further up -
into your mouth
and ears and eyes -
and finally it's in your head
so that you feel giddy
Love is wonderful
So very wonderful
Who is he? - Who?
Well, your...
- You say first
I cannot, you say
orl'll show you
There. - Oh no? But it is
That's right.
Listen, isn't it fun?
Yes, it's fun
Listen, tell me the truth,
did you guess anything?
No, no I didn't
He is terribly handsome
But we are terribly ashamed
Listen, don't tell anyone.
- No, I won't
What about yours?
I lied to you, there's nobody
You poor thing, you
must get someone soon
It should be easy for you,
being able to move about
To move about, just think, -
In a couple of weeks
I'll be able to move, too
It's going well already
And soon, soon
I'll be dancing
Well, I don't know just yet,
but perhaps when you return
You will come again tonight
before you go?
I cannot, I still have to pack
Listen, I'll come and help you
What about auntie?
- Oh, auntie!
Come and get me,
when she's asleep
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting for you Valter,
I'll be waiting
Are you still thinking of only him?
Yes
But my dear, it cannot be true
Tell me, tell me dearest,
that it is only silliness, -
innocent dreaming.
I can't stand this
It is not silliness
I know that I'm childish, -
but this is really true
Just believe me, little mother
But you know, -
you know that all women
fall in love with their doctors
I know, that's exactly
what I've done
But you don't know, -
this is impossible,
quite impossible
Impossible, how can you say
that, you are in love yourself?
Do you know who
I'm in love with?
With him
You mean Valter?
Yes, with him
It is best that you know it now
But I'm in love with him,
we cannot both
He, he... Valter loves me
He has said so to me
No, little Outi,
he loves me
He promised to meet me
tonight, do you understand?
It cannot be true
Don't cry, dearest,
you are so young
It will pass
It's him, Valter.
He is waiting for me
He is here for the last night.
He'll be traveling tomorrow
It is him, I must go
This way, auntie may wake up
At the moment coming...
You have trodden on...
Behind you back... you can
not avoid... happens to you
Well, that's gipsy
women's nonsense
You'll see
You'll have success,
money, lots of money
Good, good, money is
always welcome
Here you have two ladies, -
two blond admirers, -
who are near to your heart
Both are equally
near to your heart
You face a difficult choice
You are near to happiness now, -
near the right card
No, it's the queen of
diamonds, which is my card
Yes, she is in love with you, -
because you are an
older, experienced, a man
And you are her doctor
This is the doctor's card
And it is only
childish daydreaming
She is
much too young for you
She is not the woman for you
What about this other one?
Are you sure she
would be better for me?
Yes, she is a grown woman, -
who loves you
with mature feelings
She longs
for life and children, -
children with you
She will do
everything for you
She loves you, Valter
And you love her
You'll do it Valter.
I love you
And I miss you
I am your woman
Darling Sylvi
Auntie! - What has
happened, dear child?
Sylvi has gone,
she has disappeared
I'm afraid.
- Where has she gone?
I don't know, left with Valter
Oh, auntie!? - Oh dear
This is dreadful
Forgive me, little mother
Don't cry, dear Sylvi,
have I been unkind to you?
No, not you
But you are crying
I myself have
been a little bad
I feel that I am so...
Don't cry,
we love each other
Yes, I love you
I am so happy
Sylvi, shame on you
I am responsible
for my deeds
Sylvi will be my wife
All right, everything looks
different now than a month ago
Touch and go,
but we succeeded
And now you are
completely healthy
Isn't that so, little man?
- Yes
Yes, indeed
Thank you, doctor,
you have given me -
the biggest gift of my life,
the life of my son
Yes, a child is the greatest
gift anyone can receive
Shall I pay the doctor now, or...
You can pay again,
when it suits you
Let's be happy
that the child is healthy
Thank you, doctor,
good bye
Good bye,
good bye, little man
Here is your next patient
Coughed a little at night.
Would you listen to his chest?
Well, I don't suppose
It's so dangerous
1 will look after this boy,
like my own eyes
Let the whole world crumble, -
but I won't allow even a
single hair in your head break
His lungs work like an engine
Just think, this is our son
It is wonderful to think, -
that we live again in
this adorable creature
My son, my own son,
soon you'll grow into a man
Mother's little piglets, all of us
All of us, all of us
Mother's little piglets,
all of us
All of us, you and I
You and {
I am not a pig, dad is a pig
We are both.
Think, five year old
And now, soon we'll go
and do men's work, -
but for now, let's go and make
pigs of ourselves with that cake
What do you say?
- Yes, yes
And now everyone to
bed, young and old
Not me. I don't want to go
to bed, I want to be a pig
Oh, but we
are so tired already
But now Martti will blow out
the candles on the cake
All right, blow. - Yes
And now a kiss for dad and a
kiss for mummy and then to bed
My father's music box...
Now my son's
Didn't we have
a lovely birthday party?
Yes, very nice
And Liisa looks good, too,
with her new thing on her head -
and even silk stockings
Everything I have is made
of silk. Good night, doctor
Good night
Good night, madam.
- Good night, Liisa
Come to bed
What a shame,
but I have to go -
to the laboratory to do some
work, but I'll be back soon
One more kiss for daddy
Daddy is going to earn cake
money for Martti and mummy
Now you both go nicely to
bed, dad will follow soon
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
One more wave to daddy.
- Yes
And now for a wash
and then to the sandman
Dear God, bless father
and mother, Martti and Liisa
Sleep, my dear, sleep well
Well, at last. - Forgive me,
dear. I didn't want to stop
There's this German
who's done an experiment -
and I wanted to check it.
- Talking of Germany, -
isn't it strange that Outi stays
abroad all these years?
Yes, her foot should have
got better ages ago, -
but I guess music studies
take their time, too -
and, anyway, who knows what
a young lady will get up to?
Come on, I miss you
It is so warm
and lovely near you
Shall I put the lights out?
- Not yet, I'm afraid of the dark
Afraid of the dark? There are
no other bogeys than me here
No, I'm not afraid of bogeys, -
but somebody stealing
you from me in this darkness
Don't be afraid, I'm never
going to give you up, never
Don't ever give up
Good morning, dear
Hello. - Hello
May I see that
hat in the window?
Yes, thank you.
- Here you are
What was that?
Valter, Valter!
- Oh my God!
Martti, my son,
what is the matter?
No, no, no,
it's impossible, -
impossible, -
he's gone
How is this possible?
I was buying a hat and Martti
slipped out into the street -
and then a car!
You were buying stupid
fineries for yourself -
and let the boy
run into his death?
There we have a mother,
this is your fault
I hate you
I hate you more than
anything in this world
I will never forgive you, never
Couldn't you forget?
It was a long time ago
No, I cannot help it
But you know how
I have suffered
Isn't that enough to expiate
what you call my crime?
Yes, yes, I know all that,
my reason knows it, -
but my feelings blame
you, and I cannot help it
My love, you
must be able to forget
But I cannot
You know what the
child means to me
He was my son,
my only son -
and if but you cannot
have a child any more
Don't torture me!
Don't you think that I am just
as bitter about it than you are?
That is why I need you
just now more than ever
Don't leave me alone
Come on
This cannot go on
We must find each other again
We must start living again
No, I cannot, not yet, anway
Perhaps one day
Brandy, double
Another, please
Two more
Out...
Out I say!
Crazy man
Martti, Martti...
Do you remember what
it was like here before?
Cozy and warm
And now
You have gone
away and he...
Do you remember how I used
to be afraid of the dark?
I was afraid that someone
would take you away from me, -
and now you have gone
You left me
Please, take me back again
Take me into your arms,
caress and keep me warm
I miss all of this so much
that I'm going crazy
What does the doctor want?
- Vichy-water
It's in the fridge, I'll bring
Thank you,
I'll take the bottle
Oh dear,
the doctor looks tired
I am tired
Good night, doctor.
- Good night
I am so bloody tired
Do you mind, girl
May I sit down?
Of course, doctor
I am so lonely, -
so completely alone
You are a good, kind girl
I have admired you for
long, you and your youth
You could make me happy, -
much happier than
Oh, what am
I talking about?
I suppose it'll
be all right one day
You are a good girl,
good night
What was that?
Sylvi!
Valter, Valter,
what is the matter?
I cannot see, nothing,
although my eyes are open
Tell me for God's sake,
tell me
Oh my God
Blind
Withered
Withered like me, -
but maybe you come
back to life one day
Perhaps I have also won
something by becoming blind
I cannot see, but maybe
he sees me now
Good morning, dear, I have
good news for you. - Good?
I am afraid of all news
But everything is all right
Not so well that
it couldn't be better
You know doctor Brauner
- Who?
Brauner, that famous
eye specialist?
He is on his way
here via Sweden, -
and I, the smart guy that I am,
called him in Stockholm -
and made him promise
that he will see you
If anyone can help you,
it is him
I am completely blind, I don't
believe anyone can cure me
And I am not sure if I
want to be cured, either
What kind of talk is that?
Remember how I used
to be afraid of the dark?
I was afraid that someone
steals you. - Darling
But now that I am in darkness,
I am no longer afraid
I have great light, -
your love
Darling, you
and I belong together
Nothing can separate us
Now I must go
to the practice again
You'll be alright?
Yes, I'll be fine,
I'll do some work, too
Where did
I leave the duster?
Here. - Thank you
Are you sure?
You won't get too tired?
Not at all, I must learn
to move and live like this
Bye. - Bye, bye
One, two, three
four, five, six
seven, eight, nine
Good afternoon, good afternoon.
- Good afternoon
Greetings from Paris
After seven years, in my
home country and at home
Is Madam Sylvi at home?
Is it you, Valter,
didn't you go to work?
Listen, I have
something to say
I have been thinking
about our life
Perhaps, after all, I am
asking too much of you
I am a burden to you
You are young and ambitious, -
life is open to you
and I, I am like this
Sylvi, Sylvi,
what is the matter?
Who are you? - Don't you
remember me, little mother?
I am Outi
Can't you see?
- No. I am blind
Oh my God,
what has happened?
I took some
poison by mistake
Oh Sylvi, dear Sylvi.
This is terrible
Not any more, I have got used
to living in my dark world
But are you sure nothing helps?
Oh, this is terrible, terrible
Perhaps there
is a small chance, -
when Dr. Brauner comes.
Please don't. Put your head up
I am not crying
any more, either
Or Valter. You spoke
so strangely of him
It was nothing, let's forget it
And no more talking of me
I'd rather you told
me how your foot is
It has been well
for a long time already
That is wonderful,
no problems then?
No, nothing at all
Now you will stay
with us, little Outi, -
and take very
good care of us all
But auntie, I think
I'll go and see her now
What about him, Valter?
Does he want me
to stay here with you?
Of course, he has
always liked you
And I liked him
I liked him as all
patients like their doctors
Bye, bye, I'm going
upstairs to see auntie now
Bye, bye, be
sure not to frighten her
And the queen
of hearts there
But little girl,
dear little cripple
Cripple? I'm not cripple,
not in the foot or heart, -
I am healthy,
joyful and happy
But you naughty girl, why
did you stay away for so long?
Convalescence
took a long time
And now you are
completely healthy?
Yes. Yes ll am. I am
healthy as anything
But she... Sylvi
That is right.
Now she is a cripple
Hello Sylvi. - Hello
I have something
very interesting for you
I have ordered
this specially for you
What is it? - A book
What do I do with a
book, I cannot see?
No, but you can feel.
Give me your hand
Do you feel anything?
Yes, I can feel dots
Can you feel, here is
one dot? It is A
This is two dots.
This is B
This is C
And here is D
But this is easy
So it does
This is G, this is H
This is I.
This really is easy
Don't you recognize
me, Valter?
No
It is Outi
My goodness,
are you little Out, -
who wore short skirts and
had freckles on her nose?
Welcome, we have waited
a long time for you
And your foot... Is it
completely healed now?
Yes, yes it is.
I could even dance, -
as you once promised
Look, like this, and this
Don't I manage well?
- Yes, very well
Forgive me, Sylvi,
I have been stupid
Well, where were we Valter
I didn't quite get it yet
This wasthis was I,
here is U
This is K
And this is J, and again A
Reading. Hurray, it won't
take you long to learn to read
Let's continue: -
D-0-G,
dog
This is easy
L-1-F-E-
life I - S, is
W-0-N-D-E-R
F-U?I
Wonderful.
- Life is wonderful
That's not true,
but never mind
T-H-E
The sun
I- S
S-H-1-N-1-N7G
is shining
The sun is shining
What are you doing, Valter?
I'm - I'm just admiring -
this beautiful evening sun
Good morning, Miss
What are
you talking about here?
No - no, I'm just
talking to myself
Listen, Valter, tell me, -
what does Outi look like
after all these years, -
I cannot see her?
Well, Outi you mean?
Outi. - Well, she has become
a real little dame, -
curly hair and pretty eyes, -
and her mouth, her mouth
is like it was made for kisses
And her figure, her
figure, I must say, -
that her figure is
extremely well developed -
and her legs, her legs
is pedigree, pedigree legs
All together very agreeable
You seem to have had
time to study her closely
With a professional eye,
I mean as a doctor
Could I have the salt,
please?
Salt, please?
Why are you so quiet,
don't you like the food?
No, the food is good
and the world is wonderful
I have somehow
began to live again
Yes, you two can enjoy
light, life and colors
Perhaps you'll be back
in the world of light soon
Let us wait what
Dr. Bruner has to say
I am used to darkness,
I don't miss company there
Don't say that, I, too,
have lived in the darkness, -
but now I'm going to fight
my way into the sun
Be careful not to burn
yourselfin the sun
It's ten o'clock and
the doctor is waiting
I'll take you.
- No, I don't want you to
Of course, I will.
- Thank your, but I'd rather -
hear the verdict alone.
And you have your practice
What are you reading?
That was not nice
in the bathroom
I thought
it was very beautiful
Why did you caress
my hand just now?
Because I like you
You must not
like me that way
Not any more
Well, it doesn't look
very promising, -
but if you continue the treat-
ment for another two years, -
your eyes may
get slightly better, -
so that you can see a little,
but you won't be able to read
There is another possibility,
but it is dangerous
I could try an operation and
you could get your sight back -
immediately, but the
operation is complicated, -
it could fail, and then you'd be
blind for the rest of your life
It is much safer to continue
with the slower treatment
I can't wait. It's terrible to be
blind, when life passes by
People grow and get on
They don't wait for me
May I think about it?
- Of course
But remember, that the
operation is dangerous -
and you would have to travel
with me to Switzerland, -
because I don't have my
special instruments here -
which are necessary
in the operation
Don't worry, it will be fine,
rest and sunshine to you
Thank you, good bye.
- Good bye
Where did you get that from?
Oh, you remember
Do you remember then,
in that summer, -
you were whistling this and
Sylvi came to you in love
And I
You?
Poor me, I was laying
in my bed crying
Crying?
Yes, crying out
of love and jealousy
Jealousy?
Were you jealous?
- I must have been very silly
I loved you with a
little girl's whole heart
I loved you like a little
cripple loves her doctor
You cannot imagine,
how my poor heart suffered
And every evening I had
to hear about you from Sylvi
It was horrible
I loved and suffered like
only a little school girl can do
You, you didn't even notice
the adoring heart at your feet
Are you so sure about that?
That's how silly I was then
Finally I decided to run away,
to get away from you
Did you?
I think I did
What about now?
Then it was just silliness,
now it's plain impossible
What is impossible now?
N-no, nothing
We were just talking
of old summer memories
What did the doctor say?
- Yes, what did he say?
There is not much hope,
it can take years with my eyes
Oh, dear Sylvi,
lam so sorry for you
Don't be pessimistic,
everything will be all right, -
as long as you manage
to keep your nerve. - Yes
You seem nervous today,
Outi? - Yes, I am
I'm worried about their fate
After all, we
were so happy then
Sylvi was
beautiful and Valter...
Yes, he has always
been very handsome
Maybe too handsome
There is something in him
It seems that he has too
much of that something?
What are you studying?
I was waiting for you to tea
The table is set
There we are,
everything is ready here
There is some tea here
Outi, come and
have some tea
No, thank you, not just now
But then you can give
us a small tea concert
It's a long time since
you last played to us
It's a pleasure
Play something that
I, too, can understand
Why did you stop?
Please continue
What is the matter with Outi?
I don't know. - Aha!
That's where you are
Outi, I have
something to say to you
Come, I have thought
about you and me
I also wanted
to talk with you
Is that you, Valter?
This is a dangerous game.
- What do you mean?
You know very well.
- What do you mean?
You must have guessed
and Sylvi knew, -
why I stayed away
for so long. Didn't you?
It was a little girl's
love, but it endured
It took me a long time
to get back to normal
And I want to stay that way
Do you understand?
Everything was a mistake
from the beginning
Yes, perhaps, but now
you must remember, -
that Sylvi is your wife and
I am only your sister-in-law
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand
So, that is what
I wanted to tell you
I must get my sight back
I am ready to
risk anything for that
It is very dangerous.
- I know
You must operate.
- But that is not wise.
Wise or crazy,
I want to try one last thing.
If it fails, I accept my fate.
- All right
So, we will
travel to Switzerland
But blame yourself,
if disaster happens
I already blame
myself for everything
Good bye, doctor.
- Good bye, Madam Sora
This is crazy. What if you
loose your sight for good?
I'm living through
the darkest time now
I must find the light
But I cannot even
be with you then
I have promised to take care
of Dr. Lehtinen's patients
Someone has to take you to
Switzerland and take care of you
Me of course, and if I were
Sylvi, I would do the same
Perhaps it will be all
right without the operation
I doubt it. It won't be all right
More light
A little more
More
Careful
More light
That's enough
Do you see anything?
No, nothing
More light
Oh my God,
how that hurt my eyes
Hurt, do you see something?
Yes, I seel seelight
Tell me, for good's sake,
was the operation successful?
Keep your eyes closed
and the black bandage on
I cannot promise anything yet,
but there are possibilities
Well, my darling,
how are you today?
I don't know yet
Have they written?
Yes, yes, almost every day.
Outi is so worried for you
What about him, Valter?
He sent you flowers
Here you are
Oh, roses
They must be dark red
I wonder if he
will remember me?
Of course he will
ll can see
ll can see
Well, well, well,
what is happening here?
You must remember
that you must use -
still use dark glasses
at least a year -
and be
careful of harsh light, -
because it can affect
your nerves so that -
you may become blind,
or even mentally ill
Have you told them at home
about the operation's success?
No. This will be a
surprise for everyone
All the time I feel
that I am doing wrong
I feel Sylvi's accusing
look on my face
And still, I am
so happy, so happy
I wanted this short time of
complete happiness to myself
I want to feel you
this close, my darling
This must end
when she comes
No, no, you belong to me.
I will never let you go
Just think if
she gains her sight
She will see everything
I cannot think of that now
You, you are here
Sylvi. - You
came back already
Oh dear Sylvi, how did
the operation go? - Well
Tell me, tell me quickly
It failed, ... for good
Sylvi, you are crying
No, my dear, I was
just rinsing my eyes
They have been hurting again
Oh, dear Sylvi,
I feel so sorry for you
Don't feel sorry for me,
I don't like it
I'd rather hear how you are,
what has it been like, -
while I've been away?
- Wonderful, we have...
I have been swimming,
playing tennis, -
and running myself
tired every day
What about Valter, has he
been good? - Like an angel
He has been serving
on me like a child
I mean, whenever he's
had time from his work
Where have you slept?
In my own room,
of course, upstairs
What about him? - Who?
Valter
In the corner room, I think,
I don't know for sure
It has been very nice here
I can believe that
Has he kissed you?
Kissed, who? - Valter
You are crazy
No, but I know men
Forgive me. Stupid.
- Sometimes I hope -
that he'd find another woman,
who would care for him
But not you, you are not for him,
or what do you think, Valter?
You have not learned to
move quietly enough yet
I was just passing.
- I know
Take me to bed
Valter, this is a bit difficult.
Could you help?
Valter! - What?
Nothing
All right, that's it
Valter
What, my love? - Come
What did you say?
Nothing
Good night, my dear
Sleep well
Good night
Valter!
Did you call me?
- Where are you going?
I'm going to bed, my dear.
- Where?
In my own room, of course
Good night, my darling
I cannot stand this any more.
You are always near me, -
and yet so far away
Valter, don't you think
I also suffer?
It is terrible to deceive her
All the time I feel the
accusation in her blind eyes
But it is even worse
to deceive oneself
I have imagined that I would
some day be free of you
I thought that you'd
be happier with Sylvi
This is all a deceit
Now I know that I'll
never be free of you, -
and I also know that you
are happy in my arms
The two of us
belong together
That is the truth.
- It is the truth
Valter, I can bear it no longer
Come
Get up!
Good morning, dear Outi
Did you have a good night?
I hope you slept well
without nightmares
You look so pale
How can you know that?
I just feel it, Outi dear,
I just feel it
Goodness, have you
started to smoke?
Sometimes in the evenings
Please don't, it is very
dangerous, very dangerous
Whose watch is this?
Valter's watch
How come it's here?
I don't know. He may
have forgotten it sometime
Yes, Valter forgets
sometimes actually too much
And they were bound together
like with invisible chains
There were three of them and
they lived under the same roof, -
three people who loved
and hated each other
They were sisters, Kaarina
and Lea and between them -
had come a man, a man
who belonged to Kaarina, -
and whom Lea lured to her
with deception and sin, -
as there is no greater sin,
than deceiving one's sister
It is the work of a thief
and adulterer
But when night came the man
crept from his conjugal bed -
and went to his wife's sister
and sin united them
Then they forgot the one
who was alone and suffered, -
suffered terrible pain, -
suffered enough to lose
her mind, which she did
But one day something
terrible happened
Perhaps I am boring you, maybe
you don't want to hear more
Where did you
get a book like that?
From the library, of course,
it is very educational
One must not play with
sin, it's dangerous, -
very dangerous
What happened to them?
Them?
- The people in the book?
What happens when the
conscience starts to fester -
day and night, dig
and gnaw, tear and bite?
The nights are sleepless.
Fear and terror enter the soul, -
nerves start to break
and there is no way out
They want to escape,
escape at any cost
But where and how?
And they did the only thing
that could free them
What did they do?
They killed themselves
They killed themselves.
Oh my God, forgive us
She knows. She
suspects, that you and I
She cannot know
she is blind after all
But then, why did
she read that story to us?
I am afraid
of her blind eyes
The way she
stares at me is awful
Almost as if
she is be able to see
Where are you going, you
cannot leave me alone here?
I'm going to work,
you go to your room
Nothing is going to happen.
- Don't go, don't go
This cupboard,
it is my old acquaintance
Those bottles.
In here there is blindness
No, no, blindness
would be too easy
This, he must drink from this
They killed themselves
They killed themselves
This would also free me
Shall I drink, shall I drink?
You, why did
you come just now?
Why wouldn't 17 Do you
have something to hide?
Do you have a bad conscience?
Can't you tell everything to your
little mother, like you used to?
You are moving along
dark paths, Outi
It is dangerous. Be
careful not to fall in the dark
Glass, what is in it?
That is... juice
Juice?
I am thirsty
No, no, no
You! Why are you here?
You know that you
are not to come here
They suspect
us too much already
Go away.
Do you hear me, go away!
I don't want you messing
me up here as well
What are you staring at,
are you mute?
I am expecting a child
Your child
Child?
She is expecting a child
You are expecting
a child, my child
You and I, we are
going to have a child
God bless you
Valter, you are not sorry?
How could I be sorry?
A child is the
biggest wish of my life
My love, my love
We are going to
have a child, you and I
Think, just think about
the eyes of the child, -
the little hands, the
sweet sounds of a child
We'll see it grow and develop
We'll see our own
lives continuing better -
and more beautiful
Now we have
something to live for -
and something to fight for
Oh my love, my love
Thank you for helping
me over the worst
What shall we do now?
She must release us
She will never do that.
- Never!
There must be a way.
I will force her
You will force, who, are you
talking to yourself, Valter?
How did you get in here?
The maid let me in,
she went to the shop
Well, how did
your experiment go?
I don't know yet, it takes time
I suppose so. You must be
ex-perimenting with perfume, or what?
You forgot your hat, Outi.
Don't let me disturb you
Not at all
I just came to... - Well
Yes, you see, Outi has been
complaining of her nerves -
and it was my
intention to examine her
All right, how nice. And
have you examined her?
Not yet. - In that case
you can do it right away
We'll see what is the matter with
her nerves. Take your coat off
I thought
I should go to Dr. Salonen
Take the coat off
and your blouse
You needn't be shy in
front of your brother-in-law
I think you have slep
very restlessly at night lately
Is there
something the matter?
No, nothing
Sometimes I fancy I have
heard you cry in your room
Surely you are not in love?
I am really worried about you
You must take care of
your nerves - No, no, no
Valter will cure you.
He is the specialist
Cough once... more cough
Breath in... cough... breathe
More, breathe
Look, she sees
Do you see?
- What should I see?
My glasses just
pressed on my nose
Well, Valter,
did you find anything?
No, no I cannot
bear it any longer
Neither do I
Put your glasses on.
- No, I can see better without
Oh dear, you are wearing
such an ugly tie today, darling
Sylvi, you can see
Yes, I can see
Don't you think that's
fun, my darling?
Oh Sylvi, Sylvi
that's wonderful
It's no fun to see everything
What about the operation?
The operation didn't fail.
I have been able to see -
and I have watched
already a long time
But then you must know?
Yes, I know very much
Oh God, this theatre, -
but now it must end
I have waited
for this a long time
By the way,
I must congratulate you, -
you play lovers
very convincingly
We are not acting
Outi and I,
we love each other
How romantic
And here's me thinking
that you are just playing about, -
as you always have...
in my house
But you are not asking, -
whether I love, or
even if I have loved
I did love and I suffered
I suffered so that it nearly
made me mad and and I did
Hate and revenge burned
in my veins day and night
In my desperation
I tried to kill myself, -
but didn't in the end
I decided to kill you, -
but it would have
been too easy for you
Live and suffer, suffer
like I have suffered
Then I decided
to torture you, -
torture you until one
day you yourselves...
Decided to commit suicide?
You guessed right,
my dear friend
And I swear that you all -
the all of you will do it
All three
What do you mean? - Exactly
what you were thinking
You three. Not me
So you know?
- Think about it, I know
So you know that
I shall be a mother?
You will not be a mother
Valter is a doctor
What do you mean?
- Exactly that
You are a doctor
Remember that
Valter, Valter, did you see
her eyes, that murderous look?
I am afraid, afraid
Ah-a, there the lovers come
There is a letter for you,
I put it on your table
It is time to take the masks
off, Outi. You are a thief
You have stolen my man
and lived in sin with him, -
and you have stolen
a child from me, -
which I would otherwise
carry in my womb
I hate and despise you, Outi
And you, my faithful husband
You have lived
faithfully with two sisters
You are married to one, and
are having a child with another
This could mean a scandal, -
labeling you
for the rest of your life
I demand that
the child must die, -
or I will stir up such a storm,
that it'll break Valter's career -
and I'll torture you, Outi,
until you are as crazy as I am
There is another option.
There is a pistol in my drawer
Choose
I wish you a pleasant
time together, -
until I return day after tomorrow.
Your loving sister, Sylvia
Oh my God,
what a terrible person
What are we going to
do now, what shall we do?
I don't know, but one thing is
sure, our child is not going to die
You are guilty, you alone
Are you going to kill
their child as well? No, no
Outi and Valter,
you both dear people
Forgive me
I am sick and crazy,
my nerves are finished
It is not always easy
to stay stable, -
but now I understand clearly, -
that it is time
for me to step aside
I am only a shadow
of a certain past
You still love each other
Life and future belong
to both of you
And 1, for myself
I want finally peace
Be happy and love each other
Forgive me, if you can

So, so, so, so, so
Stop kicking, girl
I would, but
it tickles so nicely
That's good, the foot
will soon get better that way
Doesn't this feel good?
Yes, it does
That's what I thought,
it will be fine
Now we'll put the foot to rest
Oh, the doctor is so good,
taking care of poor me
Is it, is it
going to be shorter now?
I don't think so but
we'll have to perform -
a small operation
later in the autumn
We have agreed that
you will travel to Leipzig -
to Doctor Grin.
He will fix your foot
The doctor
is so terribly cute
Cute, really? No woman -
has ever
called me that before
But you are not a
woman yet, are you?
Excuse me!
Aren't I a woman?
Not yet
Well, almost anyway, -
or what
does the doctor think?
Fi-fiuuuu!!
You may be right, woman
And such a pretty one, too
Yes, other boys say so, too
Well?
Well?
Isn't the doctor
going to give me a kiss?
You'll be fooling
lots of boys yet
I think that's fooling, -
when you call a woman
pretty but don't kiss her
But you are not
quite a woman yet -
so, put those kisses out of
your mind and have a rest
If you are really good you
can get up in the afternoon -
to try out your chair and
maybe even play a little
Oh, how nice you are
There's the kiss after all
But I don't regret it, not at all
Not many women do
Tell me, dear doctor,
after the operation, -
can I, can I still dance?
Absolutely,
I promise you that
Good bye, little woman,
I'll come back soon
Bye, bye Doctor and thank
you so very much about
So very pretty,
nearly a woman
Ouh, what a pig
Well, what
did the doctor say?
Oh auntie, auntie,
he was so terribly nice -
and so terribly
kind and so terribly...
Listen auntie, can
I ask you something -
between us women?
- Well?
Listen, has
anyone ever told you -
that you are very pretty?
But dear child, what
are you talking about?
That would be terrible.
- It itsn't
And then he said, that
I can try the new chair
Where is it? Oh, there
Well? Isn't it great?
Hilja helps a little
Can you? - Yes, yes
I'll just go around the room
You are a wonderful woman
Did you hurt yourself?
Yes
Oh dear, a little scratch
You must take care of me,
you are a doctor after all
A beautiful foot, just as
beautiful as your sister's
Oh, it's not nice to say
so to another woman
I am jealous of you
even to my own sister
Are you?
Yes I am
Hi, Outi
Hello, little mother
Isn't life wonderful, the sun
shines and the birds sing?
I'd like to take the whole world
into my arms and kiss it
Oh dear, forgive me,
I didn't remember -
you cannot
enjoy this summer
Nonsense, I am
as happy as a lark
Soon I can
walk with crutches, -
and then I go abroad -
and when I come back I'll
be as healthy as anything
And then I
can dance and love
But I let it slip after all
What? - This love
I am terribly in love
What are you talking about?
Our little one in love?
Don't be silly, it was only
What do you mean?
A-ha, you are in love as well
Oh, how nice. Listen,
don't you think it's great, -
when it churns in your
stomach, that love, I mean, -
and rises up into
your heart and further up -
into your mouth
and ears and eyes -
and finally it's in your head
so that you feel giddy
Love is wonderful
So very wonderful
Who is he? - Who?
Well, your...
- You say first
I cannot, you say
orl'll show you
There. - Oh no? But it is
That's right.
Listen, isn't it fun?
Yes, it's fun
Listen, tell me the truth,
did you guess anything?
No, no I didn't
He is terribly handsome
But we are terribly ashamed
Listen, don't tell anyone.
- No, I won't
What about yours?
I lied to you, there's nobody
You poor thing, you
must get someone soon
It should be easy for you,
being able to move about
To move about, just think, -
In a couple of weeks
I'll be able to move, too
It's going well already
And soon, soon
I'll be dancing
Well, I don't know just yet,
but perhaps when you return
You will come again tonight
before you go?
I cannot, I still have to pack
Listen, I'll come and help you
What about auntie?
- Oh, auntie!
Come and get me,
when she's asleep
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting for you Valter,
I'll be waiting
Are you still thinking of only him?
Yes
But my dear, it cannot be true
Tell me, tell me dearest,
that it is only silliness, -
innocent dreaming.
I can't stand this
It is not silliness
I know that I'm childish, -
but this is really true
Just believe me, little mother
But you know, -
you know that all women
fall in love with their doctors
I know, that's exactly
what I've done
But you don't know, -
this is impossible,
quite impossible
Impossible, how can you say
that, you are in love yourself?
Do you know who
I'm in love with?
With him
You mean Valter?
Yes, with him
It is best that you know it now
But I'm in love with him,
we cannot both
He, he... Valter loves me
He has said so to me
No, little Outi,
he loves me
He promised to meet me
tonight, do you understand?
It cannot be true
Don't cry, dearest,
you are so young
It will pass
It's him, Valter.
He is waiting for me
He is here for the last night.
He'll be traveling tomorrow
It is him, I must go
This way, auntie may wake up
At the moment coming...
You have trodden on...
Behind you back... you can
not avoid... happens to you
Well, that's gipsy
women's nonsense
You'll see
You'll have success,
money, lots of money
Good, good, money is
always welcome
Here you have two ladies, -
two blond admirers, -
who are near to your heart
Both are equally
near to your heart
You face a difficult choice
You are near to happiness now, -
near the right card
No, it's the queen of
diamonds, which is my card
Yes, she is in love with you, -
because you are an
older, experienced, a man
And you are her doctor
This is the doctor's card
And it is only
childish daydreaming
She is
much too young for you
She is not the woman for you
What about this other one?
Are you sure she
would be better for me?
Yes, she is a grown woman, -
who loves you
with mature feelings
She longs
for life and children, -
children with you
She will do
everything for you
She loves you, Valter
And you love her
You'll do it Valter.
I love you
And I miss you
I am your woman
Darling Sylvi
Auntie! - What has
happened, dear child?
Sylvi has gone,
she has disappeared
I'm afraid.
- Where has she gone?
I don't know, left with Valter
Oh, auntie!? - Oh dear
This is dreadful
Forgive me, little mother
Don't cry, dear Sylvi,
have I been unkind to you?
No, not you
But you are crying
I myself have
been a little bad
I feel that I am so...
Don't cry,
we love each other
Yes, I love you
I am so happy
Sylvi, shame on you
I am responsible
for my deeds
Sylvi will be my wife
All right, everything looks
different now than a month ago
Touch and go,
but we succeeded
And now you are
completely healthy
Isn't that so, little man?
- Yes
Yes, indeed
Thank you, doctor,
you have given me -
the biggest gift of my life,
the life of my son
Yes, a child is the greatest
gift anyone can receive
Shall I pay the doctor now, or...
You can pay again,
when it suits you
Let's be happy
that the child is healthy
Thank you, doctor,
good bye
Good bye,
good bye, little man
Here is your next patient
Coughed a little at night.
Would you listen to his chest?
Well, I don't suppose
It's so dangerous
1 will look after this boy,
like my own eyes
Let the whole world crumble, -
but I won't allow even a
single hair in your head break
His lungs work like an engine
Just think, this is our son
It is wonderful to think, -
that we live again in
this adorable creature
My son, my own son,
soon you'll grow into a man
Mother's little piglets, all of us
All of us, all of us
Mother's little piglets,
all of us
All of us, you and I
You and {
I am not a pig, dad is a pig
We are both.
Think, five year old
And now, soon we'll go
and do men's work, -
but for now, let's go and make
pigs of ourselves with that cake
What do you say?
- Yes, yes
And now everyone to
bed, young and old
Not me. I don't want to go
to bed, I want to be a pig
Oh, but we
are so tired already
But now Martti will blow out
the candles on the cake
All right, blow. - Yes
And now a kiss for dad and a
kiss for mummy and then to bed
My father's music box...
Now my son's
Didn't we have
a lovely birthday party?
Yes, very nice
And Liisa looks good, too,
with her new thing on her head -
and even silk stockings
Everything I have is made
of silk. Good night, doctor
Good night
Good night, madam.
- Good night, Liisa
Come to bed
What a shame,
but I have to go -
to the laboratory to do some
work, but I'll be back soon
One more kiss for daddy
Daddy is going to earn cake
money for Martti and mummy
Now you both go nicely to
bed, dad will follow soon
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
One more wave to daddy.
- Yes
And now for a wash
and then to the sandman
Dear God, bless father
and mother, Martti and Liisa
Sleep, my dear, sleep well
Well, at last. - Forgive me,
dear. I didn't want to stop
There's this German
who's done an experiment -
and I wanted to check it.
- Talking of Germany, -
isn't it strange that Outi stays
abroad all these years?
Yes, her foot should have
got better ages ago, -
but I guess music studies
take their time, too -
and, anyway, who knows what
a young lady will get up to?
Come on, I miss you
It is so warm
and lovely near you
Shall I put the lights out?
- Not yet, I'm afraid of the dark
Afraid of the dark? There are
no other bogeys than me here
No, I'm not afraid of bogeys, -
but somebody stealing
you from me in this darkness
Don't be afraid, I'm never
going to give you up, never
Don't ever give up
Good morning, dear
Hello. - Hello
May I see that
hat in the window?
Yes, thank you.
- Here you are
What was that?
Valter, Valter!
- Oh my God!
Martti, my son,
what is the matter?
No, no, no,
it's impossible, -
impossible, -
he's gone
How is this possible?
I was buying a hat and Martti
slipped out into the street -
and then a car!
You were buying stupid
fineries for yourself -
and let the boy
run into his death?
There we have a mother,
this is your fault
I hate you
I hate you more than
anything in this world
I will never forgive you, never
Couldn't you forget?
It was a long time ago
No, I cannot help it
But you know how
I have suffered
Isn't that enough to expiate
what you call my crime?
Yes, yes, I know all that,
my reason knows it, -
but my feelings blame
you, and I cannot help it
My love, you
must be able to forget
But I cannot
You know what the
child means to me
He was my son,
my only son -
and if but you cannot
have a child any more
Don't torture me!
Don't you think that I am just
as bitter about it than you are?
That is why I need you
just now more than ever
Don't leave me alone
Come on
This cannot go on
We must find each other again
We must start living again
No, I cannot, not yet, anway
Perhaps one day
Brandy, double
Another, please
Two more
Out...
Out I say!
Crazy man
Martti, Martti...
Do you remember what
it was like here before?
Cozy and warm
And now
You have gone
away and he...
Do you remember how I used
to be afraid of the dark?
I was afraid that someone
would take you away from me, -
and now you have gone
You left me
Please, take me back again
Take me into your arms,
caress and keep me warm
I miss all of this so much
that I'm going crazy
What does the doctor want?
- Vichy-water
It's in the fridge, I'll bring
Thank you,
I'll take the bottle
Oh dear,
the doctor looks tired
I am tired
Good night, doctor.
- Good night
I am so bloody tired
Do you mind, girl
May I sit down?
Of course, doctor
I am so lonely, -
so completely alone
You are a good, kind girl
I have admired you for
long, you and your youth
You could make me happy, -
much happier than
Oh, what am
I talking about?
I suppose it'll
be all right one day
You are a good girl,
good night
What was that?
Sylvi!
Valter, Valter,
what is the matter?
I cannot see, nothing,
although my eyes are open
Tell me for God's sake,
tell me
Oh my God
Blind
Withered
Withered like me, -
but maybe you come
back to life one day
Perhaps I have also won
something by becoming blind
I cannot see, but maybe
he sees me now
Good morning, dear, I have
good news for you. - Good?
I am afraid of all news
But everything is all right
Not so well that
it couldn't be better
You know doctor Brauner
- Who?
Brauner, that famous
eye specialist?
He is on his way
here via Sweden, -
and I, the smart guy that I am,
called him in Stockholm -
and made him promise
that he will see you
If anyone can help you,
it is him
I am completely blind, I don't
believe anyone can cure me
And I am not sure if I
want to be cured, either
What kind of talk is that?
Remember how I used
to be afraid of the dark?
I was afraid that someone
steals you. - Darling
But now that I am in darkness,
I am no longer afraid
I have great light, -
your love
Darling, you
and I belong together
Nothing can separate us
Now I must go
to the practice again
You'll be alright?
Yes, I'll be fine,
I'll do some work, too
Where did
I leave the duster?
Here. - Thank you
Are you sure?
You won't get too tired?
Not at all, I must learn
to move and live like this
Bye. - Bye, bye
One, two, three
four, five, six
seven, eight, nine
Good afternoon, good afternoon.
- Good afternoon
Greetings from Paris
After seven years, in my
home country and at home
Is Madam Sylvi at home?
Is it you, Valter,
didn't you go to work?
Listen, I have
something to say
I have been thinking
about our life
Perhaps, after all, I am
asking too much of you
I am a burden to you
You are young and ambitious, -
life is open to you
and I, I am like this
Sylvi, Sylvi,
what is the matter?
Who are you? - Don't you
remember me, little mother?
I am Outi
Can't you see?
- No. I am blind
Oh my God,
what has happened?
I took some
poison by mistake
Oh Sylvi, dear Sylvi.
This is terrible
Not any more, I have got used
to living in my dark world
But are you sure nothing helps?
Oh, this is terrible, terrible
Perhaps there
is a small chance, -
when Dr. Brauner comes.
Please don't. Put your head up
I am not crying
any more, either
Or Valter. You spoke
so strangely of him
It was nothing, let's forget it
And no more talking of me
I'd rather you told
me how your foot is
It has been well
for a long time already
That is wonderful,
no problems then?
No, nothing at all
Now you will stay
with us, little Outi, -
and take very
good care of us all
But auntie, I think
I'll go and see her now
What about him, Valter?
Does he want me
to stay here with you?
Of course, he has
always liked you
And I liked him
I liked him as all
patients like their doctors
Bye, bye, I'm going
upstairs to see auntie now
Bye, bye, be
sure not to frighten her
And the queen
of hearts there
But little girl,
dear little cripple
Cripple? I'm not cripple,
not in the foot or heart, -
I am healthy,
joyful and happy
But you naughty girl, why
did you stay away for so long?
Convalescence
took a long time
And now you are
completely healthy?
Yes. Yes ll am. I am
healthy as anything
But she... Sylvi
That is right.
Now she is a cripple
Hello Sylvi. - Hello
I have something
very interesting for you
I have ordered
this specially for you
What is it? - A book
What do I do with a
book, I cannot see?
No, but you can feel.
Give me your hand
Do you feel anything?
Yes, I can feel dots
Can you feel, here is
one dot? It is A
This is two dots.
This is B
This is C
And here is D
But this is easy
So it does
This is G, this is H
This is I.
This really is easy
Don't you recognize
me, Valter?
No
It is Outi
My goodness,
are you little Out, -
who wore short skirts and
had freckles on her nose?
Welcome, we have waited
a long time for you
And your foot... Is it
completely healed now?
Yes, yes it is.
I could even dance, -
as you once promised
Look, like this, and this
Don't I manage well?
- Yes, very well
Forgive me, Sylvi,
I have been stupid
Well, where were we Valter
I didn't quite get it yet
This wasthis was I,
here is U
This is K
And this is J, and again A
Reading. Hurray, it won't
take you long to learn to read
Let's continue: -
D-0-G,
dog
This is easy
L-1-F-E-
life I - S, is
W-0-N-D-E-R
F-U?I
Wonderful.
- Life is wonderful
That's not true,
but never mind
T-H-E
The sun
I- S
S-H-1-N-1-N7G
is shining
The sun is shining
What are you doing, Valter?
I'm - I'm just admiring -
this beautiful evening sun
Good morning, Miss
What are
you talking about here?
No - no, I'm just
talking to myself
Listen, Valter, tell me, -
what does Outi look like
after all these years, -
I cannot see her?
Well, Outi you mean?
Outi. - Well, she has become
a real little dame, -
curly hair and pretty eyes, -
and her mouth, her mouth
is like it was made for kisses
And her figure, her
figure, I must say, -
that her figure is
extremely well developed -
and her legs, her legs
is pedigree, pedigree legs
All together very agreeable
You seem to have had
time to study her closely
With a professional eye,
I mean as a doctor
Could I have the salt,
please?
Salt, please?
Why are you so quiet,
don't you like the food?
No, the food is good
and the world is wonderful
I have somehow
began to live again
Yes, you two can enjoy
light, life and colors
Perhaps you'll be back
in the world of light soon
Let us wait what
Dr. Bruner has to say
I am used to darkness,
I don't miss company there
Don't say that, I, too,
have lived in the darkness, -
but now I'm going to fight
my way into the sun
Be careful not to burn
yourselfin the sun
It's ten o'clock and
the doctor is waiting
I'll take you.
- No, I don't want you to
Of course, I will.
- Thank your, but I'd rather -
hear the verdict alone.
And you have your practice
What are you reading?
That was not nice
in the bathroom
I thought
it was very beautiful
Why did you caress
my hand just now?
Because I like you
You must not
like me that way
Not any more
Well, it doesn't look
very promising, -
but if you continue the treat-
ment for another two years, -
your eyes may
get slightly better, -
so that you can see a little,
but you won't be able to read
There is another possibility,
but it is dangerous
I could try an operation and
you could get your sight back -
immediately, but the
operation is complicated, -
it could fail, and then you'd be
blind for the rest of your life
It is much safer to continue
with the slower treatment
I can't wait. It's terrible to be
blind, when life passes by
People grow and get on
They don't wait for me
May I think about it?
- Of course
But remember, that the
operation is dangerous -
and you would have to travel
with me to Switzerland, -
because I don't have my
special instruments here -
which are necessary
in the operation
Don't worry, it will be fine,
rest and sunshine to you
Thank you, good bye.
- Good bye
Where did you get that from?
Oh, you remember
Do you remember then,
in that summer, -
you were whistling this and
Sylvi came to you in love
And I
You?
Poor me, I was laying
in my bed crying
Crying?
Yes, crying out
of love and jealousy
Jealousy?
Were you jealous?
- I must have been very silly
I loved you with a
little girl's whole heart
I loved you like a little
cripple loves her doctor
You cannot imagine,
how my poor heart suffered
And every evening I had
to hear about you from Sylvi
It was horrible
I loved and suffered like
only a little school girl can do
You, you didn't even notice
the adoring heart at your feet
Are you so sure about that?
That's how silly I was then
Finally I decided to run away,
to get away from you
Did you?
I think I did
What about now?
Then it was just silliness,
now it's plain impossible
What is impossible now?
N-no, nothing
We were just talking
of old summer memories
What did the doctor say?
- Yes, what did he say?
There is not much hope,
it can take years with my eyes
Oh, dear Sylvi,
lam so sorry for you
Don't be pessimistic,
everything will be all right, -
as long as you manage
to keep your nerve. - Yes
You seem nervous today,
Outi? - Yes, I am
I'm worried about their fate
After all, we
were so happy then
Sylvi was
beautiful and Valter...
Yes, he has always
been very handsome
Maybe too handsome
There is something in him
It seems that he has too
much of that something?
What are you studying?
I was waiting for you to tea
The table is set
There we are,
everything is ready here
There is some tea here
Outi, come and
have some tea
No, thank you, not just now
But then you can give
us a small tea concert
It's a long time since
you last played to us
It's a pleasure
Play something that
I, too, can understand
Why did you stop?
Please continue
What is the matter with Outi?
I don't know. - Aha!
That's where you are
Outi, I have
something to say to you
Come, I have thought
about you and me
I also wanted
to talk with you
Is that you, Valter?
This is a dangerous game.
- What do you mean?
You know very well.
- What do you mean?
You must have guessed
and Sylvi knew, -
why I stayed away
for so long. Didn't you?
It was a little girl's
love, but it endured
It took me a long time
to get back to normal
And I want to stay that way
Do you understand?
Everything was a mistake
from the beginning
Yes, perhaps, but now
you must remember, -
that Sylvi is your wife and
I am only your sister-in-law
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand
So, that is what
I wanted to tell you
I must get my sight back
I am ready to
risk anything for that
It is very dangerous.
- I know
You must operate.
- But that is not wise.
Wise or crazy,
I want to try one last thing.
If it fails, I accept my fate.
- All right
So, we will
travel to Switzerland
But blame yourself,
if disaster happens
I already blame
myself for everything
Good bye, doctor.
- Good bye, Madam Sora
This is crazy. What if you
loose your sight for good?
I'm living through
the darkest time now
I must find the light
But I cannot even
be with you then
I have promised to take care
of Dr. Lehtinen's patients
Someone has to take you to
Switzerland and take care of you
Me of course, and if I were
Sylvi, I would do the same
Perhaps it will be all
right without the operation
I doubt it. It won't be all right
More light
A little more
More
Careful
More light
That's enough
Do you see anything?
No, nothing
More light
Oh my God,
how that hurt my eyes
Hurt, do you see something?
Yes, I seel seelight
Tell me, for good's sake,
was the operation successful?
Keep your eyes closed
and the black bandage on
I cannot promise anything yet,
but there are possibilities
Well, my darling,
how are you today?
I don't know yet
Have they written?
Yes, yes, almost every day.
Outi is so worried for you
What about him, Valter?
He sent you flowers
Here you are
Oh, roses
They must be dark red
I wonder if he
will remember me?
Of course he will
ll can see
ll can see
Well, well, well,
what is happening here?
You must remember
that you must use -
still use dark glasses
at least a year -
and be
careful of harsh light, -
because it can affect
your nerves so that -
you may become blind,
or even mentally ill
Have you told them at home
about the operation's success?
No. This will be a
surprise for everyone
All the time I feel
that I am doing wrong
I feel Sylvi's accusing
look on my face
And still, I am
so happy, so happy
I wanted this short time of
complete happiness to myself
I want to feel you
this close, my darling
This must end
when she comes
No, no, you belong to me.
I will never let you go
Just think if
she gains her sight
She will see everything
I cannot think of that now
You, you are here
Sylvi. - You
came back already
Oh dear Sylvi, how did
the operation go? - Well
Tell me, tell me quickly
It failed, ... for good
Sylvi, you are crying
No, my dear, I was
just rinsing my eyes
They have been hurting again
Oh, dear Sylvi,
I feel so sorry for you
Don't feel sorry for me,
I don't like it
I'd rather hear how you are,
what has it been like, -
while I've been away?
- Wonderful, we have...
I have been swimming,
playing tennis, -
and running myself
tired every day
What about Valter, has he
been good? - Like an angel
He has been serving
on me like a child
I mean, whenever he's
had time from his work
Where have you slept?
In my own room,
of course, upstairs
What about him? - Who?
Valter
In the corner room, I think,
I don't know for sure
It has been very nice here
I can believe that
Has he kissed you?
Kissed, who? - Valter
You are crazy
No, but I know men
Forgive me. Stupid.
- Sometimes I hope -
that he'd find another woman,
who would care for him
But not you, you are not for him,
or what do you think, Valter?
You have not learned to
move quietly enough yet
I was just passing.
- I know
Take me to bed
Valter, this is a bit difficult.
Could you help?
Valter! - What?
Nothing
All right, that's it
Valter
What, my love? - Come
What did you say?
Nothing
Good night, my dear
Sleep well
Good night
Valter!
Did you call me?
- Where are you going?
I'm going to bed, my dear.
- Where?
In my own room, of course
Good night, my darling
I cannot stand this any more.
You are always near me, -
and yet so far away
Valter, don't you think
I also suffer?
It is terrible to deceive her
All the time I feel the
accusation in her blind eyes
But it is even worse
to deceive oneself
I have imagined that I would
some day be free of you
I thought that you'd
be happier with Sylvi
This is all a deceit
Now I know that I'll
never be free of you, -
and I also know that you
are happy in my arms
The two of us
belong together
That is the truth.
- It is the truth
Valter, I can bear it no longer
Come
Get up!
Good morning, dear Outi
Did you have a good night?
I hope you slept well
without nightmares
You look so pale
How can you know that?
I just feel it, Outi dear,
I just feel it
Goodness, have you
started to smoke?
Sometimes in the evenings
Please don't, it is very
dangerous, very dangerous
Whose watch is this?
Valter's watch
How come it's here?
I don't know. He may
have forgotten it sometime
Yes, Valter forgets
sometimes actually too much
And they were bound together
like with invisible chains
There were three of them and
they lived under the same roof, -
three people who loved
and hated each other
They were sisters, Kaarina
and Lea and between them -
had come a man, a man
who belonged to Kaarina, -
and whom Lea lured to her
with deception and sin, -
as there is no greater sin,
than deceiving one's sister
It is the work of a thief
and adulterer
But when night came the man
crept from his conjugal bed -
and went to his wife's sister
and sin united them
Then they forgot the one
who was alone and suffered, -
suffered terrible pain, -
suffered enough to lose
her mind, which she did
But one day something
terrible happened
Perhaps I am boring you, maybe
you don't want to hear more
Where did you
get a book like that?
From the library, of course,
it is very educational
One must not play with
sin, it's dangerous, -
very dangerous
What happened to them?
Them?
- The people in the book?
What happens when the
conscience starts to fester -
day and night, dig
and gnaw, tear and bite?
The nights are sleepless.
Fear and terror enter the soul, -
nerves start to break
and there is no way out
They want to escape,
escape at any cost
But where and how?
And they did the only thing
that could free them
What did they do?
They killed themselves
They killed themselves.
Oh my God, forgive us
She knows. She
suspects, that you and I
She cannot know
she is blind after all
But then, why did
she read that story to us?
I am afraid
of her blind eyes
The way she
stares at me is awful
Almost as if
she is be able to see
Where are you going, you
cannot leave me alone here?
I'm going to work,
you go to your room
Nothing is going to happen.
- Don't go, don't go
This cupboard,
it is my old acquaintance
Those bottles.
In here there is blindness
No, no, blindness
would be too easy
This, he must drink from this
They killed themselves
They killed themselves
This would also free me
Shall I drink, shall I drink?
You, why did
you come just now?
Why wouldn't 17 Do you
have something to hide?
Do you have a bad conscience?
Can't you tell everything to your
little mother, like you used to?
You are moving along
dark paths, Outi
It is dangerous. Be
careful not to fall in the dark
Glass, what is in it?
That is... juice
Juice?
I am thirsty
No, no, no
You! Why are you here?
You know that you
are not to come here
They suspect
us too much already
Go away.
Do you hear me, go away!
I don't want you messing
me up here as well
What are you staring at,
are you mute?
I am expecting a child
Your child
Child?
She is expecting a child
You are expecting
a child, my child
You and I, we are
going to have a child
God bless you
Valter, you are not sorry?
How could I be sorry?
A child is the
biggest wish of my life
My love, my love
We are going to
have a child, you and I
Think, just think about
the eyes of the child, -
the little hands, the
sweet sounds of a child
We'll see it grow and develop
We'll see our own
lives continuing better -
and more beautiful
Now we have
something to live for -
and something to fight for
Oh my love, my love
Thank you for helping
me over the worst
What shall we do now?
She must release us
She will never do that.
- Never!
There must be a way.
I will force her
You will force, who, are you
talking to yourself, Valter?
How did you get in here?
The maid let me in,
she went to the shop
Well, how did
your experiment go?
I don't know yet, it takes time
I suppose so. You must be
ex-perimenting with perfume, or what?
You forgot your hat, Outi.
Don't let me disturb you
Not at all
I just came to... - Well
Yes, you see, Outi has been
complaining of her nerves -
and it was my
intention to examine her
All right, how nice. And
have you examined her?
Not yet. - In that case
you can do it right away
We'll see what is the matter with
her nerves. Take your coat off
I thought
I should go to Dr. Salonen
Take the coat off
and your blouse
You needn't be shy in
front of your brother-in-law
I think you have slep
very restlessly at night lately
Is there
something the matter?
No, nothing
Sometimes I fancy I have
heard you cry in your room
Surely you are not in love?
I am really worried about you
You must take care of
your nerves - No, no, no
Valter will cure you.
He is the specialist
Cough once... more cough
Breath in... cough... breathe
More, breathe
Look, she sees
Do you see?
- What should I see?
My glasses just
pressed on my nose
Well, Valter,
did you find anything?
No, no I cannot
bear it any longer
Neither do I
Put your glasses on.
- No, I can see better without
Oh dear, you are wearing
such an ugly tie today, darling
Sylvi, you can see
Yes, I can see
Don't you think that's
fun, my darling?
Oh Sylvi, Sylvi
that's wonderful
It's no fun to see everything
What about the operation?
The operation didn't fail.
I have been able to see -
and I have watched
already a long time
But then you must know?
Yes, I know very much
Oh God, this theatre, -
but now it must end
I have waited
for this a long time
By the way,
I must congratulate you, -
you play lovers
very convincingly
We are not acting
Outi and I,
we love each other
How romantic
And here's me thinking
that you are just playing about, -
as you always have...
in my house
But you are not asking, -
whether I love, or
even if I have loved
I did love and I suffered
I suffered so that it nearly
made me mad and and I did
Hate and revenge burned
in my veins day and night
In my desperation
I tried to kill myself, -
but didn't in the end
I decided to kill you, -
but it would have
been too easy for you
Live and suffer, suffer
like I have suffered
Then I decided
to torture you, -
torture you until one
day you yourselves...
Decided to commit suicide?
You guessed right,
my dear friend
And I swear that you all -
the all of you will do it
All three
What do you mean? - Exactly
what you were thinking
You three. Not me
So you know?
- Think about it, I know
So you know that
I shall be a mother?
You will not be a mother
Valter is a doctor
What do you mean?
- Exactly that
You are a doctor
Remember that
Valter, Valter, did you see
her eyes, that murderous look?
I am afraid, afraid
Ah-a, there the lovers come
There is a letter for you,
I put it on your table
It is time to take the masks
off, Outi. You are a thief
You have stolen my man
and lived in sin with him, -
and you have stolen
a child from me, -
which I would otherwise
carry in my womb
I hate and despise you, Outi
And you, my faithful husband
You have lived
faithfully with two sisters
You are married to one, and
are having a child with another
This could mean a scandal, -
labeling you
for the rest of your life
I demand that
the child must die, -
or I will stir up such a storm,
that it'll break Valter's career -
and I'll torture you, Outi,
until you are as crazy as I am
There is another option.
There is a pistol in my drawer
Choose
I wish you a pleasant
time together, -
until I return day after tomorrow.
Your loving sister, Sylvia
Oh my God,
what a terrible person
What are we going to
do now, what shall we do?
I don't know, but one thing is
sure, our child is not going to die
You are guilty, you alone
Are you going to kill
their child as well? No, no
Outi and Valter,
you both dear people
Forgive me
I am sick and crazy,
my nerves are finished
It is not always easy
to stay stable, -
but now I understand clearly, -
that it is time
for me to step aside
I am only a shadow
of a certain past
You still love each other
Life and future belong
to both of you
And 1, for myself
I want finally peace
Be happy and love each other
Forgive me, if you can
