You'll like Matteo. I know you will.

-You'll click.
-Okay.

Hunting... It'll be fun.

Yeah well... Fun.
That's enough for me.

-Henri?
-Yes.

Hey. Can you keep an eye
on Hugo's screen-time?

You can confiscate his phone
whenever you want.

Yeah, it'll be fine.
I raised your wife, so...

Yeah, and you know
how that turned out.

Hey, I was an angel
compared to these little shits.

-Yeah.
-Bye darlings! We love you!



-Listen! Look after your grandpa.
-Have fun!

-Bye Mum, bye Dad.
-Bye cutie!

Hey, check this out!

What the hell? We still have that?

But there's no CD-player in here.

No, but I've made a playlist,
obviously.

-Really?
-One more...

Give me it... look!

-Remember this?
-Yes.

-Germany.
-Yeah, Hamburg.

Autobahn. I don't think
I've thrown up so much in my life.

No, and I tried to find somewhere
to pull over, but I couldn't.

No. Driving 150 kilometres an hour,

while trying to find a bag
to throw up in.



-It was so fucking gross!
-Yeah.

God. And then we checked into
that dingy bed und breakfast.

Remember?

Do you remember what happened later?

-What?
-We slept together.

As soon as we got there,
to the same song.

-We did, yeah.
-We did.

And it was good.

-We're still good, aren't we?
-At sex?

-Yeah, we are.
-We are.

THE MEANING OF LIFE

There...

-That jury...
-Yeah?

They make Gordon Ramsay
look like Lars Lerin.

-I won't get into that exhibition.
-Stop it...

Of course you'll get in,
you're amazing.

Yeah, thanks...

-But what if he hates me?
-Who?

-Gordon Ramsay?
-No... Harry.

Oh, right...
Why would he hate you?

-You're the best in the world.
-Stop it.

-Angelica will make him hate me.
-No, she won't.

But we'll take it at your pace.
If we meet Harry, it'll be good,

and then when it suits,
we'll meet Angelica.

It's such a messed up situation,
she gets that. Of course.

Yeah.

She seems almost
disgustingly understanding.

Yeah, really annoying actually.

-So annoying.
-Yeah.

There's Matteo. Hey, Matteo!

Hello!

-Hi. Nice to finally meet you.
-Yeah, really.

Hi, I'm Alex.

-Matteo.
-How's it going?

-Yeah, good.
-Great.

-Hey!
-Hey.

Nice to be here.
Did you check out the rooms?

Yeah, they're alright.
The bed is a bit hard maybe.

It's meant to be five stars,
isn't it?

It is five stars, for hunting.

Yeah, well, I haven't had
a good look around yet.

Should we go inside?
Alright, let's go.

Now you'll have to show me
what you've learnt.

It's really nice here.

I thought it would be some old hut
in the forest or something.

-What?
-I thought it'd be...

some old hut in the forest.
But this is like a hotel room.

-It is a hotel room.
-Oh right, that explains it.

I don't even remember when we were
last in a hotel room by ourselves.

No. Hey, didn't Matteo seem down?

Like... He's not usually like that.
I don't know what's going on.

No?

What could possibly be the reason...

Oh stop it, it isn't like that.

You're really sure
he doesn't see it that way?

Yes, I am, actually.

But if he's not entirely sure...

Then we could prove it to him...

By sending him a picture, maybe.

-You mean... that kind of picture?
-A kind of picture where I do this.

Or maybe worse...

-Wait...
-Oh, God!

It's Hugo. Hey, honey.

Did you check the TV-cabinet?
Check under the couch cushions.

The remote should be on...

I forgot my phone in the car.

-Okay.
-I'll go get it, okay?

Yeah, but the remote should be
on the TV-cabinet...

Okay...

Here it is.

But...

Are you sure... that you want to?

Yes.

-Go.
-Okay, I'll be right back.

God no, try to stay out of it.

Ellen?

-Oh, was it in the room?
-Yeah, it was.

Crazy right? You go from the room
to the car... to get the phone.

-Yeah, how silly.
-And it's in the room.

Bananas...

I'm going too, talk to you later.

I just wanted to see if he's okay.

-Well, you could have told me then.
-Yeah, I know.

But I was worried you'd get grumpy
and misinterpret the whole thing.

-So you just lie instead?
-Yeah, it was stupid.

I'm sorry but... whatever.

Matteo feels like shit, he's in
a custody battle with his ex-wife.

Yeah and maybe he's laying it on
a bit thick.

-You're saying he's lying?
-I'm saying he might be

exaggerating to get your attention.

-No. He isn't.
-No? Okay... but...

It's just that
I want to be with you.

Yeah, and I want to be with you.

-There she is.
-Hi, Harry!

It's great to finally meet you.

I'm... Alva.

He's a little bit shy.

-Should we... go to a café?
-Yeah.

-Yes.
-Yes, let's go!

Oh... you don't want any of the
food? Wanna taste it?

-So, how's school? Do you like it?
-Yeah.

-Harry is really good at drawing.
-Really?

Aren't you?
Alva is also really good at drawing.

You know, she draws all day long.

And she draws these big
pieces of furniture.

Then she puts them together
like huge Legos. Cool huh?

-I've stopped playing with Lego.
-Oh.

But you play football.
Alva did too when she was little.

Yeah, I did. So much.

But I had to stop because I got
a really hard ball right in my head

and just fell over and like...

-Everyone thought I was dead.
-What? Were you really dead?

No, I wasn't really dead,
but I had to go to the doctor,

I had a concussion.

But I got a bunch of cake
and then it was fine.

-I have to pee.
-Okay, let's go.

I'm sorry but it is what it is.

With this fog, we have to cancel
the afternoon's pigeon shooting.

But I'll see you tomorrow
for the boar hunt.

We'll gather here at 6:00. Okay?

Let's have a drink instead, then.

-Do you want something?
-Yes, please. Anything.

Hey, how's it going?

Not that great. I'm trying
to call her, she won't even pick up.

-Oh, that must be hard.
-Yeah.

You could say that...

What will you do now
that the hunting's been cancelled?

I don't know...

I just feel like
shooting myself in the head.

-Don't say that.
-Ellen, should we...

-Should we take these to our room?
-Yeah, absolutely.

-It's fine, I'll survive.
-Okay, see you later.

And I was wearing new
football boots, so I...

fell and hit my chin here,
and it just sprayed out.

-What?
-Yeah, it's true. Crazy right?

-And I got this scar, see?
-Yeah.

Okay, up to Mum now.

-Can't you stay for a bit?
-No, I can't.

But... I'll come watch
your football practice on Thursday.

-And I'll come upstairs to say bye.
-Yeah.

Hey... don't you want
to give Alva a hug?

No, you really don't need to.

But Harry, it was great meeting you.
I'll see you another time.

Of course you will.
Okay, come on. I'll be right back.

This looks nice.

-What?
-The spa, it looks really nice.

-Should we go check it out?
-Yeah, I'd love to.

You don't want to?

-Yeah, really, I do.
-You do?

-Yeah.
-It looks really nice.

-Yeah, let's go.
-Cool... Hang on...

I'll bring towels in case they don't
have them.

-I'm sure they have them, but...
-Yeah, great idea, do that.

Can you see if you can find
my swimsuit too?

-Yeah, I'll bring it.
-Great.

ARE YOU OK?

My swimming trunks...
Have you seen them?

Yeah, I packed them.
They're in the bag.

Yes, good.

-NOT DOING WELL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
-WE'RE GOING TO THE SPA.

-Oh, what...
-Shit.

-What is it?
-Damn it...

I forgot to cancel the pram.

-Are you getting in?
-Damn it's cold.

-Hello!
-Hey! How's it going?

-Good. How are you?
-There's so much stuff.

-We'll put the pram... there.
-I think she's waking up.

Yeah, it's fine.

We heard...
We were gonna come by and...

But then we didn't know if...

-No, right...
-No, it's...

-I'm sorry!
-Yeah, so sorry!

Tell us if you need any help.
I could help you carry...

-No, you don't have to.
-Are you sure?

-Yes.
-Because that's no problem...

No, it's okay, we've got it.

-Okay, have a good day.
-Bye.

I've got this.

Just lift it out. Damn it.

Just grab it. Damn!

Can you grab it?

Well, if this is
what hunting is like...

It's pretty nice.

No, but it's good, I think,
doing new things together.

It's not
like I'm yearning to have...

Taco Friday in the forest
every week, but...

I do think it's good to do things
in new ways.

I do think so. Change is...

good... It's good.

-You're good.
-You're good.

Yes.

Hey there.

-Hey!
-Is there any power in this?

Yeah... it is.

I'm so glad you were going here.
I really wanted to go here,

but it felt depressing
to go sit here by myself.

-Feels like I'm just oozing anxiety.
-No, you're not.

-No.
-It's just good to have you here.

Yep, really nice.

So you're...
You're from up north, right?

-Norrland?
-Yeah, that's right.

"Ume", as we call it.

-What do you say, some water?
-Yes, please.

-Re-hydration?
-No, I'm okay. Thank you.

-Thanks for texting me.
-Of course.

Of course, I would also have
preferred if it was just you and me.

But he texted,
what should I have done?

I don't want to be mean,
he's not doing well.

-No, you're so thoughtful.
-And what the hell were you doing?

-Showing off, flexing your muscles?
-He asked me where I'm from.

-And I showed him my Umeå-tattoo.
-Yeah, right.

Nico?

Nico?

What?

Hey?

I want to try again.

What?

I want to have a baby with you.

Are you sure?

I'm at least sure that...

That I can't do nothing.

How do you feel?

Of course.

-Are you sure?
-Totally sure.

I know you want to get out there,
so I'll keep it brief.

-Today we're stalking boar...
-Stalking?

-Stealth hunting.
-Oh, sneaking?

And it's really important
that you're quiet out in the forest.

Do we have any dead weight?
There should be a couple I think.

-Me.
-Olle, you're with me.

And there's one more.

-That's you.
-Is it me?

Yeah, it means you don't have
your hunting licence.

Yeah, I'm one of those
dead... weight, or whatever it was.

-And who is responsible for you?
-I am.

Then you know he stays at arms reach
the whole time?

Absolutely.

And you know that if he shoots, it's
technically you who fired the shot.

-Absolutely.
-You'll manage that?

-I will.
-Good.

So I can shoot like crazy,
and it'll be you who did it...

Actually, you two.
We'll change it up a bit.

-You'll get site 78 over there.
-Yes.

And the rest of you know where
you're assigned? Good. Let's go!

-78, that's good, right?
-No, it's not that good.

It's really bad.

I get that you'd rather
be with the others,

hunting and shooting and all that.
I get that.

-Did you listen to the guide at all?
-Yeah...

-Yeah, but I mean, I'm dead meat...
-Dead weight.

Yeah, dead weight.
It's nothing I can...

-do anything about.
-Stop it.

-Even the kid got to go.
-Yeah...

Someone has to do this too.

You were messing around,
I saw it, he saw it.

Right... But at least
it's really beautiful here.

Who are you texting? Is it Matteo?

Yeah.

Okay. I'm taking a break.

-No! Where are you going?
-I'm gonna pee.

-No.
-Yes.

-Why not?
-Because they'll smell it and leave.

-So, what? I should pee my pants?
-Yeah, if you must.

Damn it.

-I'm taking a break.
-Alex, stop it!

Come back...

Idiot.

Alex?

That's right, we have
a frozen embryo with you.

We'd like to book an appointment
to implant it.

Then I'll schedule an appointment
and we'll make a plan.

-Yes.
-How about Tuesday at nine?

Yes. Tuesday will be great.

-Perfect, see you then.
-Great, thanks. Bye.

Wow, that was fast.

-Do you know what that means?
-Yeah.

-Everything can turn to shit again.
-No.

We're going to celebrate.

-What are you doing?
-I'm just gonna pee.

I thought you had accidentally
shot yourself.

-Do you even need to pee?
-Yes, if you could back off...

Can you be quiet?
You can't speak that loudly.

Here, take this.

-You want me to pee in this?
-Yes. So the animals won't smell us.

-Give me the rifle.
-What?

Yes. As long as you're armed
I have to stay at arm's reach.

Give me it,
you're my responsibility.

-I'm your responsibility?
-Can you be quiet?

-You'll scare the boars, understand?
-Okay.

So they're more important
than we are?

Can you just stop. I have
three kids, I don't need another.

Okay.

What?

You know what? You don't need to be
responsible for me anymore.

-I'm done with this.
-Alex?

-Is it a no go?
-Yes.

-And then what? Cheese?
-Yes.

-Which one is worst?
-No, only the unpasteurised ones.

Okay. And we'll buy wine.

-Wine?
-And maybe some cold meat?

Alva?

-Hey!
-Come here!

-Yeah.
-What, have you cancelled me?

No, of course not. Sorry.
This is Adam, or...

-Hey! Adam.
-Nico.

-Nico, yes.
-What was it, Nicke?

-Nico.
-Oh, that's nice... too.

Good to see you.
Did you get a new number?

-No. No.
-I tried to call you the other day.

Oh? Sorry, must have missed it.

-No dress today?
-What?

No dress today?

No, no dress. It's too cold.

But hey, we have to keep going.

Good to see you, Aida.

-Bye. Take care.
-You too.

One of these washed-rind cheeses?
Like Gorgonzola?

Great, go with that.

By the way... That guy with Aida,
what was his name? Adam?

Was he...
Or like, you met him out, or?

Out when?

When you were wearing
that 12,000 kr dress?

Oh, that night?

Yeah, me and Amanda ran into him.

-He seemed pretty into you.
-Into me?

Maybe in school,
a long time ago. I don't know.

He's such a fucking idiot.

But he knows that.

But what do you really want?

-What?
-What do you want? Do you love him?

Yeah, I do.

But he doesn't accept me
for who I am.

Or who I want to be now.

He's here though.

It seems like he's trying.

He seems to hate
this whole hunting thing,

but he's here anyway.

I mean, sometimes we're idiots.

Never mind that he's an idiot.

Do you want him in your life?

Maybe you should tell him then.

Should we open that bottle
we bought on Friday?

Sure.
I'm just taking the rubbish out.

Thanks.

-Hey, Amanda speaking.
-Hi. It's Nico.

-Alva's boyfriend.
-Hi.

I was just wondering...

It's a little strange, maybe, but...

I was just wondering about...

That night you were out,
you and Alva...

-Yeah?
-Did she meet some guy there?

No, I... what do you mean?

-His name is Adam.
-Adam...

No, I...

I don't know.
There were so many people

and I wasn't sober, you know, so...

Hi, Amanda. What's up?

Nico just called, asking if you
saw Adam when we were out.

-What did you say?
-I said I didn't know.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on.

-No?
-Listen, I'll call you back, bye.

Before you hang up...

This natural wine is a bit sour.

Maybe it would be nice
with some ice or something.

Where was it you saw that guy, Adam?

I already told you.

And what happened?

Nothing happened, I don't get it...

I was out, and I saw him.

-You see people when you're out.
-Did you do something?

-No.
-I can tell that you're lying.

I'm not lying.

I can call him right now
if you want.

You slept with him, right?

No.

I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry.
-No.

No.

It was this whole thing with you
suddenly having a child.

And I... Fuck, I hated you.

I hated myself and I hated you
and I hated...

I fucking hated everything.

It just happened. I fucked up.

Everything.

-I'm sorry.
-Stop it.

No, I don't want to hear it.

Nico.

Alex?

Ellen. Ellen!

-What?
-What's going on?

He's taken the car and left
and he won't pick up when I call.

I don't know, I might have to...

I might have to
call a taxi or something.

-Take mine.
-What?

Take mine.

-What? Are you sure?
-Yeah, it's the grey one, ZBH.

-It's fine.
-You sure? That's so nice of you.

-Call me later?
-Sure.

Come on.

You're a bloody idiot.

You too.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

I know I should have told you
about Harry.

I get that.
I really tried, but I couldn't.

You were very delicate,
with the baby and everything.

I tried, but...

And then you just...

You just go out and fuck him?

I never wanted to hurt you.

-It just happened.
-You just want to...

When I'm trying to protect you,
you're trying to destroy everything.

You just want revenge.

I don't want that.

If you had just told me,
I would have understood.

But you didn't say anything.

And even now, when I asked you,
you didn't say anything.

Instead, you lied.

I'm sorry.

Please...

I'm sorry, Nico.

Listen.

It didn't mean anything.

-Okay?
-I know.

It didn't mean anything.

Nico.

Stay! Nico, don't go.
