Lucky Blue (2007) - full transcript
Olle, an introverted, well-mannered boy with an air of innocence and sincerity about him has been camping with his father at the same camping ground with several other people for years now. A sort of tradition that ends in a karaoke party. Then one summer, a family friend brings her reticent 'city boy' nephew, Kevin, and his pet budgerigar. Olle accidentally releases the bird and what follows is a discovery of friendship and love between the guy who has grown up in a loving environment and simply accepts love for what it is and the guy who's apparently been burned too many times in his own circle to feel comfortable with it.
Olle!
- Hi!
- It's been ages...
- Didn't you hear us come?
- Who's "us"?
I've brought my nephew... Kevin!
- Yes?
- Come on!
The stage looks great.
Yes, he just works on the stage.
He doesn't help me anymore.
Just because I'll be using it?
Kevin, this is Olle.
Hello!
- Are you in the karaoke show too?
- No.
He's on his favourite aunt's
summer tour to have a bit of fun.
Yes, we're going to have a ball.
- Olle, show them the new parts!
- But they're not ready yet.
Come, Barbro!
Olle! It's entirely different
from last year!
Kevin, come and see this... look!
Wow! Light bulbs, I see...
- What is it?
- Nothing. Is everything alright?
I was thinking...can you put a new song
in the karaoke machine?
Yes.
- if you can, I'd like to sing.
- Really?
I've not quite decided yet...
or rather, it's a secret.
- OK. Tell me if you need anything.
- Yes, I will.
Could you take the water in for me?
- Yes, but isn't Kevin in there?
- Yes.
I'm just bringing in the water.
Oh! Have you got a bird?
Yes, it's a bird.
- Does it sit on your shoulder?
- I don't know.
Barbro stays here the same week
every year... has done for 16 years.
OK.
I'm working on the stage.
It has to be ready tomorrow.
- Is the light-loop for your head?
- No, it's just stage lighting.
OK.
Are you going to sing?
No.
I'm not singing
any crappy karaoke hit.
She's completely cuckoo,
round the bend...
Maybe she wants to get out
and sit on a finger, or something.
Well, let it out then.
- What's her name?
- Lucky Blue.
Oh shit, the door!
- Did it get out?
- I don't know.
Can't we shout a bit louder?
You're not at all tempted to sing?
I said no!
I am 18 years old, after all.
Oh my God! Such an old man!
But Olle's going to sing.
But Barbro...
Aha!
What are you going to sing then?
What shall we do about Lucky Blue?
An awfully queer bird, isn't she?
She's scared of people.
I don't know.
You don't know?
You let it out, didn't you?
Answer my question!
- He hadn't time to.
- Did I ask you?
No!
I let it out, if you'd like to know.
- Well, what wil I you sing?
- Kjelle!
Come on, let's go in.
Here.
Disgusting! Beer and chewing gum.
- Is it true? Are you going to sing?
- No.
Really?
No.
Olle! Are you asleep?
The electricity's gone in our place, Olle.
Olle! Hi!
- Wow, did we switch this on?
- Y es.
Fantastic!
It's not so difficult.
Just some bulbs plugged in series
and other stuff...
Plugged in series...?
It's difficult to sleep
when you've had a few drinks.
Really?
56 seconds...
2 minutes...
2 minutes, my arse!
No, that's enough.
What are you laughing at?
I don't know.
Should I sing some
Swedish evergreens too?
Maybe they only want Elvis hits.
You are Elvis, Kjelle.
I don't think they m nd.
But we must let the others have a go.
Don't sing more than you did last year.
No, no, of course not.
Do you want it? Are you going in?
- What about Olle?
- He never says a word.
No, that's what I mean.
Yes, but isn't it a good idea,
him working here?
Yes of course it is,
it's wonderful here.
He could run the camping
while I tour with you.
Karaoke King and Queen,
how's that?
- Hi!
- Hi!
Shit! I was so drunk last night.
- I've got such a hangover.
- Yes.
What are you up to?
Are you going to work?
Yes. I thought I'd ask you...
.. if you'd help.
- Now?
- Yes.
- No.
- OK.
Do you really want to sing
Come To The Seashore?
Forget it then.
OK.
- What will Olle sing tonight?
- I don't know.
Haven't you heard him sing?
- We can all sing Elvis hits!
- Kjelle...
Did you slip?
- Bloody hell, it's shit!
- I didn't see any shit.
Good God!
- There's shit everywhere.
- Shit?
Yes, look here!
Are you alright?
Well, how do we sort this out?
Hey... I was just thinking.
I was wondering if you remembered.
No, not just now.
- No?
- Yes, no.
Are you deaf or what?
You two are pals, aren't you?
Yes, bosom pals.
Must you laugh everything off?
- Am I joking now?
- No.
Forget it then!
I don't know
if I've stirred up any trouble.
I don't know what's happened
between you and Kevin.
These have just got to be
fastened up here.
It's going to be really lovely.
One, two, one, two...
Barbro, please turn round
so I can concentrate.
I can't work
with lots of people around me.
OK, Olle, when I do this, you begin.
When I do it, not now!
When I do it. I'm going to do it...
- May I speak?
- No!
- Must you sing this song?
- Y es.
- Then you shall sing it.
- It's hard if no one believes in me.
OK, let's give it a miss.
Olle, do you want to try yours?
Sorry.
Well...
What's new?
How's your leg?
Alright.
What was it you were going to say
earlier in the shower?
Nothing.
It must have been something.
No.
- Are you drunk?
- No.
- I don't know.
- You don't know if you're drunk?
- Why are you like this?
- Like what?
You're so bloody strange.
You just turn up here
and ruin everything.
Shit! What's eating you?
I haven't done a bloody thing.
Yes, you have.
What is it I've done?
Can't you see?
Can't you understand
what it feels like?
Yes, I can.
We were making out just now,
weren't we?
Well, I'll be seeing you.
You'll be mine
in the eyes of the night
Come to the seashore
and make me a king
King of the summer and the night
The sand is so soft
and the girl is so fair
Crazy with longing am I
Mixed are the fragrances,
heavy the air
Come to the seashore and stay
Until night becomes day
Thank you, thank you!
Thanks for a fantastic evening.
You know what?
Kjelle's going to sing a final song.
Kjelle will take us back
to the mysteries of hot nig hts of love.
Oh! Here's a surprise.
Here comes Olle!
He built this fantastic stage.
Kevin!
- Well!
- Hi!
Look! She's come back.
Yes.
How did it get in?
I don't know.
I liked your song.
Yes?
I don't have to tour
with Barbro all summer.
So you're going to stay here then?
That's what I was thinking.
That's great!
