A FILM IN 12 CHAPTERS,
A PROLOGUE AND AN EPILOGUE

00:01:48.893 --> 00:01:52.983
You've been through the epidermis,
derma and muscles.

00:01:53.067 --> 00:01:54.566
PROLOGUE

00:01:55.126 --> 00:01:58.333
<i>Julie disappointed herself.
This used to be easy.</i>

00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:01.833
<i>She was still among the top students,</i>

00:02:02.126 --> 00:02:03.500
<i>but there were too many</i>

00:02:03.751 --> 00:02:05.666
<i>interruptions, updates,</i>

00:02:06.209 --> 00:02:07.208
<i>feeds,</i>

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:09.583
<i>unsolvable global problems.</i>

00:02:11.709 --> 00:02:13.500
<i>She sensed</i>

00:02:14.501 --> 00:02:17.458
<i>a gnawing unease
she had tried to suppress by cramming</i>

00:02:17.751 --> 00:02:19.958
<i>by drowning it in digital interference.</i>

00:02:23.251 --> 00:02:25.375
<i>This was wrong.
This wasn't her.</i>

00:02:26.834 --> 00:02:28.208
<i>She'd chosen medicine</i>

00:02:28.459 --> 00:02:32.291
<i>because it was so hard to gain admission.</i>

00:02:32.792 --> 00:02:35.666
<i>Where her excellent grades
actually meant something.</i>

00:02:42.126 --> 00:02:43.958
<i>But then she had a revelation.</i>

00:02:44.542 --> 00:02:46.833
<i>Her passion had always been the soul.</i>

00:02:47.084 --> 00:02:48.916
<i>The mind, not the body.</i>

00:02:49.167 --> 00:02:52.291
Surgery is like, so concrete.

00:02:52.501 --> 00:02:55.666
It's almost like being a carpenter.

00:02:56.334 --> 00:02:57.458
<i>But now...</i>

00:02:57.667 --> 00:03:02.458
My passion has always been what
goes on inside - thoughts and feelings.

00:03:02.667 --> 00:03:04.791
<i>It was like a window had opened.</i>

00:03:05.001 --> 00:03:05.958
Not anatomy.

00:03:06.417 --> 00:03:10.583
If psychology will make you happy,
then do it.

00:03:11.209 --> 00:03:14.000
I think you're really brave.

00:03:14.251 --> 00:03:17.250
I can't take it anymore.
I don't want to.

00:03:17.584 --> 00:03:18.958
<i>She left him.</i>

00:03:19.834 --> 00:03:21.042
<i>Though he was devastated,</i>

00:03:21.126 --> 00:03:25.208
<i>he had to respect
the way she took control of her life.</i>

00:03:50.292 --> 00:03:52.583
<i>She observed her fellow students.</i>

00:03:52.834 --> 00:03:54.916
<i>Norway's future spiritual advisers.</i>

00:03:55.167 --> 00:03:58.166
<i>Mostly girls with borderline
eating disorders.</i>

00:03:58.792 --> 00:04:00.541
Say you're at a party.

00:04:00.751 --> 00:04:03.083
<i>She still felt trapped in
the role of model student.</i>

00:04:03.167 --> 00:04:04.125
<i>All this cramming.</i>

00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:06.916
<i>When was life supposed to start?</i>

00:04:07.126 --> 00:04:08.333
What's your name?

00:04:11.334 --> 00:04:12.333
Julie.

00:04:12.542 --> 00:04:14.541
The person's name is Julie.

00:04:15.167 --> 00:04:17.750
Let's say Julie and I meet at a party,

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.125
and we feel a mutual attraction.

00:04:22.334 --> 00:04:23.500
Hypothetically.

00:04:36.626 --> 00:04:38.791
<i>Actually, she was a visual person.</i>

00:04:40.001 --> 00:04:41.625
Now I know.

00:04:42.584 --> 00:04:44.208
I want to be a photographer.

00:04:44.709 --> 00:04:45.916
A photographer?

00:04:46.709 --> 00:04:47.333
I see.

00:04:47.626 --> 00:04:50.958
<i>Julie spent her student loan
on cameras and lenses.</i>

00:04:51.251 --> 00:04:53.001
As long as you're serious about it.

00:04:53.584 --> 00:04:55.916
<i>No safety net. No holding back.</i>

00:04:56.334 --> 00:04:57.167
Need help?

00:04:57.459 --> 00:04:59.209
<i>She took a temp job in a bookstore.</i>

00:05:00.584 --> 00:05:02.458
<i>Started a photography course.</i>

00:05:02.667 --> 00:05:03.500
Super!

00:05:04.001 --> 00:05:05.291
<i>She made new friends.</i>

00:05:06.042 --> 00:05:07.292
<i>It felt like coming home.</i>

00:05:11.209 --> 00:05:13.500
<i>Suddenly Oslo was a different city.</i>

00:05:14.001 --> 00:05:16.083
<i>New places. New faces.</i>

00:05:16.292 --> 00:05:17.166
Hi. Aksel.

00:05:17.376 --> 00:05:18.209
Right...

00:05:18.334 --> 00:05:20.208
You're the comic book artist?

00:05:20.417 --> 00:05:22.666
<i>She'd heard he was the creator of Bobcat.</i>

00:05:30.084 --> 00:05:31.666
<i>Sorry, I'm a wild animal.</i>

00:05:32.251 --> 00:05:33.416
Have you read it?

00:05:33.626 --> 00:05:34.459
Yeah.

00:05:35.042 --> 00:05:35.916
So?

00:05:36.876 --> 00:05:38.708
<i>She pretended she'd read it.</i>

00:05:39.292 --> 00:05:43.125
<i>She only remembered one strip
she'd found vaguely sexist.</i>

00:05:59.001 --> 00:06:00.125
I know what you mean.

00:06:00.334 --> 00:06:02.416
Nothing's ever good enough.

00:06:02.626 --> 00:06:05.500
The only thing worse than
all the idiots is yourself.

00:06:05.709 --> 00:06:06.542
But...

00:06:07.501 --> 00:06:11.666
If we go on, I'll fall in love with you.
Then it'll be too late.

00:06:13.042 --> 00:06:14.833
Maybe we should agree to

00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:17.708
stop seeing each other.

00:06:21.834 --> 00:06:24.583
The problem is our age difference.

00:06:24.792 --> 00:06:28.208
I'm just afraid we'll fall into
a vicious circle.

00:06:28.417 --> 00:06:30.500
You're much younger than I am.

00:06:31.417 --> 00:06:34.291
You'll start to question who you are.

00:06:35.376 --> 00:06:38.375
I'm past 40.
I've entered a new phase.

00:06:38.584 --> 00:06:41.875
Whereas you still need time
to find yourself.

00:06:42.292 --> 00:06:44.625
You don't need me waiting.

00:06:44.834 --> 00:06:47.666
You need to be completely free.

00:06:48.417 --> 00:06:50.666
I'm just afraid we'll hurt each other.

00:06:58.709 --> 00:07:01.291
<i>Later she said
that was the precise moment</i>

00:07:01.501 --> 00:07:03.625
<i>she fell in love with him.</i>

00:07:23.167 --> 00:07:25.750
Shall I put your bag in the bedroom?

00:07:26.001 --> 00:07:27.083
Yes, please.

00:07:38.251 --> 00:07:39.791
I have two copies of a book!

00:07:40.501 --> 00:07:41.125
Huh?

00:07:41.376 --> 00:07:42.250
Yeah.

00:07:43.209 --> 00:07:44.416
I'll throw one away.

00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.208
Can I have two shelves?

00:07:49.709 --> 00:07:52.083
How many closets do you need?

00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:54.666
How many can I have?

00:07:54.917 --> 00:07:57.750
No, that's not how it works.

00:07:58.292 --> 00:08:01.125
This is antique glass.
All wavy and stuff.

00:08:01.376 --> 00:08:03.750
No, don't do that. Not like that.

00:08:04.542 --> 00:08:05.750
No!

00:08:06.209 --> 00:08:07.583
Lift this catch here.

00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:09.916
I'm terrified it'll break.

00:08:10.167 --> 00:08:11.708
I gaze out this window.

00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:13.833
- No way!
- I'm not kidding.

00:08:14.084 --> 00:08:16.915
Hey, that's how relationships work.

00:08:18.541 --> 00:08:21.375
She's a bit frosty towards me.
That's new.

00:08:22.916 --> 00:08:25.333
Yeah? Why do you think that is?

00:08:25.626 --> 00:08:27.583
It's embarrassing to say.

00:08:27.834 --> 00:08:29.875
We've been single together.

00:08:30.876 --> 00:08:32.750
Lived that life.

00:08:33.001 --> 00:08:35.625
Then suddenly I move in with you.

00:08:36.334 --> 00:08:38.541
- And you're happy?
- Yeah.

00:08:39.584 --> 00:08:40.958
No, no, no...

00:08:41.542 --> 00:08:43.416
Did you date this guy?

00:08:43.709 --> 00:08:45.208
Yeah, just a fling.

00:08:46.709 --> 00:08:47.666
Okay.

00:08:48.251 --> 00:08:49.458
Stop!

00:08:52.209 --> 00:08:53.833
You're so predictable!

00:08:54.542 --> 00:08:56.083
Let's just fuck.

00:09:14.626 --> 00:09:15.583
Hello!

00:09:16.667 --> 00:09:20.166
CHAPTER 1
THE OTHERS

00:09:22.834 --> 00:09:25.041
- Happy to see you!
- Me, too.

00:09:25.251 --> 00:09:26.666
- Doing good?
- Yeah.

00:09:28.042 --> 00:09:28.875
Hi, Martin.

00:09:29.334 --> 00:09:30.041
Welcome.

00:09:30.251 --> 00:09:31.625
Thanks for coming.

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:36.416
Dad designed it.

00:09:36.667 --> 00:09:40.541
We should renovate,
but don't want to change anything.

00:09:40.792 --> 00:09:42.625
It's beautiful.

00:09:43.042 --> 00:09:45.875
Yeah, but there's stuff like that. Damp.

00:09:55.126 --> 00:09:58.458
We get this room because we're childless.

00:09:58.667 --> 00:09:59.916
Dibs on the top bunk.

00:10:01.376 --> 00:10:04.083
I always feel that Tone doesn't like me.

00:10:04.292 --> 00:10:05.833
She's just shy.

00:10:08.251 --> 00:10:10.583
That's what you say about boring people.

00:10:11.626 --> 00:10:13.583
- It's my turn now.
- Okay.

00:10:16.917 --> 00:10:17.916
Thank you.

00:10:18.167 --> 00:10:19.208
Vin?

00:10:20.209 --> 00:10:21.125
Vin de blanc?

00:10:21.376 --> 00:10:22.291
Thanks.

00:10:25.001 --> 00:10:28.458
Do you have any friends with kids yet?

00:10:30.126 --> 00:10:32.083
No. Only one.

00:10:32.292 --> 00:10:34.500
Guess this feels unfamiliar.

00:10:36.292 --> 00:10:38.875
- They're very sweet.
- Thanks.

00:10:39.126 --> 00:10:41.250
So what are you doing now, Julie?

00:10:41.459 --> 00:10:44.875
Aksel says you've started writing?

00:10:45.334 --> 00:10:48.541
Well, I wouldn't exactly call it writing.

00:10:49.126 --> 00:10:49.959
Being modest?

00:10:50.959 --> 00:10:51.916
No.

00:10:52.167 --> 00:10:53.333
Seems so.

00:10:53.584 --> 00:10:57.833
Is there anything you'd like to do,

00:10:58.334 --> 00:11:00.208
as a career?

00:11:00.459 --> 00:11:02.250
Questions, questions, Karianne.

00:11:02.501 --> 00:11:05.333
That question was vulgar
when we were students.

00:11:05.626 --> 00:11:06.208
Lucky you!

00:11:06.459 --> 00:11:07.625
Yeah, we were.

00:11:07.876 --> 00:11:10.083
True, we had a lot of freedom.

00:11:10.584 --> 00:11:12.250
Being young today is different.

00:11:12.876 --> 00:11:14.791
The pressure is heart-breaking.

00:11:15.042 --> 00:11:17.208
There's no time to think.

00:11:17.459 --> 00:11:19.166
Always something on the screen.

00:11:19.376 --> 00:11:21.083
Take William.

00:11:21.292 --> 00:11:25.333
If we don't set limits,
he spends his life on screens.

00:11:29.834 --> 00:11:31.250
Nice try.

00:11:31.542 --> 00:11:32.375
Okay.

00:11:33.084 --> 00:11:34.375
No, it's not your turn.

00:11:34.667 --> 00:11:36.666
It's Martin's turn.

00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:39.583
Julie's still the closest.

00:11:48.292 --> 00:11:49.458
Bedtime.

00:11:51.584 --> 00:11:53.125
- She's exhausted.
- No!

00:11:53.376 --> 00:11:54.958
No!

00:11:55.167 --> 00:11:56.083
- Yes!
- No!

00:11:56.459 --> 00:11:58.625
I don't want to go to bed!

00:11:59.709 --> 00:12:01.833
I don't want to!

00:12:02.084 --> 00:12:05.375
Eva, don't make another scene.
Come here!

00:12:05.584 --> 00:12:07.916
No! I don't want to!

00:12:13.042 --> 00:12:14.125
Let go!

00:12:15.417 --> 00:12:18.166
- You silly girl!
- I don't want to!

00:12:18.376 --> 00:12:19.875
But I want you to!

00:12:20.084 --> 00:12:21.500
I don't want to!

00:12:28.917 --> 00:12:30.291
Kids can be intense.

00:12:31.126 --> 00:12:32.416
Well, it's okay.

00:12:34.501 --> 00:12:36.291
- Fun with kids.
- Yeah.

00:12:39.459 --> 00:12:40.625
Can't we just enjoy it?

00:12:40.834 --> 00:12:43.333
Please. No fights.

00:12:43.542 --> 00:12:46.333
There are kids here, and it's chaos.

00:12:46.542 --> 00:12:47.625
Just try.

00:12:47.834 --> 00:12:50.625
Try playing with them or something, okay?

00:12:51.834 --> 00:12:52.708
Please.

00:12:52.917 --> 00:12:54.375
Spare me the kid talk.

00:12:54.584 --> 00:12:57.708
Sorry, but I wasn't the one who started.

00:12:59.459 --> 00:13:03.500
You're with someone who's
younger than you. There's a gap.

00:13:03.917 --> 00:13:07.791
You're almost 30.
Not a bad age to have kids.

00:13:09.417 --> 00:13:12.458
I'm 44. I want to go to the next level.
With you.

00:13:12.709 --> 00:13:15.958
It has nothing to do with my friends.

00:13:16.709 --> 00:13:20.916
You seem to be waiting for something.
I don't know what.

00:13:21.292 --> 00:13:22.125
Hello?

00:13:22.584 --> 00:13:24.250
Jeez.

00:13:24.667 --> 00:13:26.541
I didn't want to get into this.

00:13:27.126 --> 00:13:28.625
Really not.

00:13:31.501 --> 00:13:34.166
Everything's on your terms.

00:13:34.792 --> 00:13:36.742
You have time off, so we're on holiday.

00:13:36.834 --> 00:13:38.000
You agreed.

00:13:38.334 --> 00:13:41.208
After you publish, you get bored.

00:13:41.417 --> 00:13:43.166
And start talking about kids.

00:13:43.376 --> 00:13:47.083
The others here have kids,
so it's an issue.

00:13:47.626 --> 00:13:48.625
Not true.

00:13:48.834 --> 00:13:50.416
It is true.

00:13:51.584 --> 00:13:52.708
And then

00:13:52.959 --> 00:13:54.708
you get a new idea at some point,

00:13:54.917 --> 00:13:57.583
and disappear into your drawing board.

00:13:57.792 --> 00:13:59.333
What are you saying?

00:13:59.709 --> 00:14:01.833
Don't start. It's not cool.

00:14:02.042 --> 00:14:03.500
Shut up. Please.

00:14:03.709 --> 00:14:06.833
Of course I'd be there if we had kids.

00:14:07.042 --> 00:14:09.958
You know that.
You know I want children.

00:14:10.167 --> 00:14:13.958
Sure, and I'll also want kids
at some point.

00:14:14.167 --> 00:14:15.541
But I don't know...

00:14:15.751 --> 00:14:18.250
I have no maternal instinct, right?

00:14:18.584 --> 00:14:21.791
No, you'd make a great mom.

00:14:22.584 --> 00:14:23.417
I'm sure of it.

00:14:23.542 --> 00:14:26.291
I want to have children, too.

00:14:27.042 --> 00:14:28.250
At some point.

00:14:28.667 --> 00:14:32.083
So what are we waiting for?
What has to happen first?

00:14:33.834 --> 00:14:36.416
I don't know what exactly.

00:14:39.334 --> 00:14:41.375
I just want to do more first.

00:14:41.584 --> 00:14:43.666
Okay, like what?

00:14:44.209 --> 00:14:45.458
What's the obstacle?

00:14:45.667 --> 00:14:48.083
I don't know! Why do you ask?

00:14:48.292 --> 00:14:50.416
Your concept is flawed.

00:14:51.376 --> 00:14:55.208
Most people have kids without
sorting out their life first.

00:14:55.417 --> 00:14:57.791
- They figure it out.
- Flawed?

00:14:58.001 --> 00:15:00.375
That's how most people do it.

00:15:00.584 --> 00:15:05.083
But I don't want everything
to happen on your terms,

00:15:05.292 --> 00:15:06.458
based on what you want.

00:15:06.667 --> 00:15:09.333
Fine. I got it.
But what do you want?

00:15:09.542 --> 00:15:11.666
Oh, please! We have to stop.

00:15:14.584 --> 00:15:17.708
I need sleep to put up with those people.

00:15:49.792 --> 00:15:54.041
I know a guy who has a theory about that.

00:15:55.292 --> 00:15:57.666
He says we have
a limited number of sperm.

00:15:58.126 --> 00:16:01.208
Say... three trillion in your lifetime.

00:16:01.417 --> 00:16:02.458
Jerk off too much,

00:16:03.167 --> 00:16:05.208
and you run out.
Could be true.

00:16:05.417 --> 00:16:07.416
Easy now, Portnoy.

00:16:07.667 --> 00:16:08.958
How fascinating.

00:16:09.501 --> 00:16:11.250
Personally, I feel like

00:16:11.501 --> 00:16:14.875
I know everything about male problems.

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:16.416
Erectile dysfunction,

00:16:16.667 --> 00:16:19.583
morning wood,
infatuation with young women

00:16:20.459 --> 00:16:21.750
premature ejaculation...

00:16:22.042 --> 00:16:22.916
Nice work, Aksel.

00:16:25.167 --> 00:16:27.041
It's in all the books and movies.

00:16:27.292 --> 00:16:30.208
Where's the menstrual period?

00:16:30.459 --> 00:16:32.791
Female orgasm and desire? Where?

00:16:33.001 --> 00:16:35.902
Good question. Tell us.
In juicy detail.

00:16:36.209 --> 00:16:37.291
No, the point is

00:16:37.792 --> 00:16:39.916
it shouldn't be taboo.

00:16:40.126 --> 00:16:43.833
If men had periods,
that's all we'd hear about.

00:16:47.001 --> 00:16:48.500
Can you womansplain it

00:16:48.959 --> 00:16:50.041
a bit better?

00:16:50.292 --> 00:16:51.666
What do you mean?

00:16:52.542 --> 00:16:55.499
Like mansplaining, but womansplaining.

00:16:56.375 --> 00:16:57.083
What?

00:16:57.292 --> 00:16:58.666
Mansplaining is...

00:17:00.417 --> 00:17:03.874
When a 45-year-old man explains

00:17:04.334 --> 00:17:06.384
how things really are to a younger woman.

00:17:07.042 --> 00:17:08.166
Nice demonstration!

00:17:08.459 --> 00:17:09.624
My pleasure.

00:17:10.292 --> 00:17:11.125
Ding! Great!

00:17:11.334 --> 00:17:12.749
Whiskey, anyone?

00:17:23.501 --> 00:17:26.875
How's the senior citizen club doing?

00:18:01.459 --> 00:18:02.625
Come on.

00:18:36.917 --> 00:18:39.333
Look who's here!

00:19:02.834 --> 00:19:03.916
Are you okay?

00:19:04.126 --> 00:19:05.333
Not really.

00:19:06.417 --> 00:19:07.583
Show me.

00:19:09.001 --> 00:19:09.834
No!

00:19:10.042 --> 00:19:11.875
Let me see...

00:19:16.792 --> 00:19:20.166
We'll laugh about it later.
It's just a scratch.

00:19:20.417 --> 00:19:22.500
Karianne's such a drama queen.

00:19:22.709 --> 00:19:24.250
It's my fault.

00:19:24.459 --> 00:19:26.625
Not at all, Julie.

00:19:27.459 --> 00:19:30.125
It is. I always overdo it.

00:19:30.876 --> 00:19:35.041
I know being here isn't easy for you.

00:19:35.251 --> 00:19:39.833
I'm not into this whole
"happy family" thing either.

00:19:41.126 --> 00:19:43.625
I'm glad it turned into a party tonight.

00:19:45.459 --> 00:19:47.125
I hope you had fun!

00:19:47.334 --> 00:19:49.500
What the hell's wrong with you?

00:19:50.834 --> 00:19:53.875
What's wrong with having a little fun?

00:19:54.084 --> 00:19:56.000
I didn't have any fun!

00:19:56.209 --> 00:19:57.750
Sorry that happened.

00:19:57.959 --> 00:20:01.916
You don't care!

00:20:02.126 --> 00:20:04.291
Shut up! Just shut up!

00:20:04.917 --> 00:20:08.416
You don't give a shit about me!

00:20:12.001 --> 00:20:13.708
Shall we make a baby?

00:20:16.292 --> 00:20:17.125
Fuck you.

00:20:30.751 --> 00:20:32.041
- Hi.
- Good morning.

00:20:32.251 --> 00:20:34.416
There's coffee. And cups.

00:22:04.251 --> 00:22:07.958
CHAPTER 2
CHEATING

00:22:09.584 --> 00:22:11.125
Sorry, I forgot.

00:22:11.376 --> 00:22:13.041
What's your line of work?

00:22:14.209 --> 00:22:15.750
I work in a bookstore.

00:22:15.959 --> 00:22:17.583
Which one?

00:22:18.459 --> 00:22:20.750
Norli, by the university.

00:22:22.417 --> 00:22:25.000
Could you excuse me for a moment?

00:22:27.959 --> 00:22:29.041
Could you sign?

00:22:29.459 --> 00:22:31.333
Sure, I'll just finish this.

00:22:31.917 --> 00:22:33.750
Any new Bobcat in the pipeline?

00:22:34.584 --> 00:22:36.041
I've moved on.

00:22:36.417 --> 00:22:38.916
Do you work full-time there,

00:22:39.126 --> 00:22:41.916
or are you just temping on weekends?

00:23:00.792 --> 00:23:02.083
- Sorry.
- Bye.

00:23:03.459 --> 00:23:06.041
Hey, I think I'll head home.

00:23:06.376 --> 00:23:07.500
Okay.

00:23:08.042 --> 00:23:09.208
- You good?
- Yeah.

00:23:09.417 --> 00:23:11.166
- Sure?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

00:23:11.709 --> 00:23:14.000
- I can stay if you like.
- It's okay.

00:23:14.709 --> 00:23:18.041
- But I have to stay a bit longer.
- Of course.

00:23:19.209 --> 00:23:21.166
Okay. See you at home.

00:25:43.376 --> 00:25:45.166
Hi. Can I have a smoke?

00:25:45.376 --> 00:25:46.625
Of course.

00:26:35.209 --> 00:26:38.458
I had my second child ten years later.

00:26:38.667 --> 00:26:42.583
Now we're supposed
to introduce solids at 4 months.

00:26:42.792 --> 00:26:47.375
What made the pediatricians
change their minds?

00:26:47.584 --> 00:26:50.958
- Do you cuddle your kids?
- Sure, a lot.

00:26:51.167 --> 00:26:52.791
They'll be drug addicts.

00:26:55.001 --> 00:26:57.333
They'll be addicts because I cuddle them?

00:26:57.542 --> 00:27:00.458
Yeah, according to new research.

00:27:00.667 --> 00:27:04.500
New research says
you shouldn't cuddle your kids?

00:27:04.709 --> 00:27:09.125
I realize it must be counter-intuitive
for a mother.

00:27:09.334 --> 00:27:11.833
But motherhood upsets your limbic system.

00:27:12.042 --> 00:27:14.458
So my kids are going to be drug addicts?

00:27:15.001 --> 00:27:17.125
That's ridiculous.
Do you have children?

00:27:17.459 --> 00:27:21.666
No, but I'm a doctor.
I have a medical perspective.

00:27:21.876 --> 00:27:26.000
Babies express themselves by crying.

00:27:26.376 --> 00:27:30.625
It's normal for a mother or a father
to comfort them.

00:28:06.376 --> 00:28:07.291
Hi.

00:28:11.292 --> 00:28:13.541
Not asking me the usual questions?

00:28:14.459 --> 00:28:16.708
- Which ones?
- Who I am, what I do.

00:28:17.709 --> 00:28:19.708
Who are you? What do you do?

00:28:19.917 --> 00:28:22.291
I hate those questions.

00:28:22.501 --> 00:28:25.708
They're especially bad
when you're a doctor.

00:28:25.917 --> 00:28:27.125
Are you a doctor?

00:28:27.751 --> 00:28:28.958
No, you are.

00:28:38.959 --> 00:28:40.666
Which questions should I ask?

00:28:46.667 --> 00:28:49.083
Ask me who I know here.

00:28:50.001 --> 00:28:52.583
- Who do you know here?
- Nobody.

00:28:53.834 --> 00:28:55.083
I crashed the party.

00:28:55.959 --> 00:28:57.250
You just waltzed in?

00:28:59.917 --> 00:29:00.875
Okay.

00:29:25.292 --> 00:29:26.541
Nothing's gonna happen.

00:29:26.751 --> 00:29:27.791
Of course not.

00:29:28.001 --> 00:29:29.541
I'm with someone I love.

00:29:29.751 --> 00:29:30.708
Me, too.

00:29:31.126 --> 00:29:34.875
And I can't stand cheating.
I've been there. Never again.

00:29:35.376 --> 00:29:38.041
- Right, cheating is...
- No good.

00:29:46.459 --> 00:29:48.333
But where do you draw the line?

00:29:51.584 --> 00:29:53.000
You can feel it.

00:29:53.209 --> 00:29:54.541
If I do this...

00:29:59.501 --> 00:30:00.791
Is that cheating?

00:30:01.001 --> 00:30:01.958
No.

00:30:06.251 --> 00:30:07.916
What about this?

00:30:14.501 --> 00:30:16.458
- No, that's permissible.
- Is it?

00:30:23.917 --> 00:30:26.208
And hurting someone
who's not your partner?

00:30:26.417 --> 00:30:28.791
- You hurt your partner?
- Is that cheating?

00:30:32.167 --> 00:30:33.291
Did that hurt?

00:30:36.834 --> 00:30:37.833
Did it?

00:30:48.292 --> 00:30:50.208
- Feel good?
- Yeah, it did.

00:30:51.542 --> 00:30:52.458
Okay.

00:30:54.626 --> 00:30:55.875
Let me smell your sweat.

00:30:56.084 --> 00:30:57.375
- No.
- Yes.

00:30:58.959 --> 00:31:01.541
- Seriously?
- Yes, that's allowed.

00:31:09.376 --> 00:31:11.333
- It stinks!
- Yes.

00:31:11.917 --> 00:31:14.583
The kind of smell you never forget.

00:31:15.876 --> 00:31:18.500
My turn to smell you.

00:31:20.417 --> 00:31:22.583
No, please.
I regret it now.

00:31:22.792 --> 00:31:23.791
Let me smell.

00:31:32.626 --> 00:31:34.250
I think you smell nice.

00:31:52.459 --> 00:31:53.916
I don't know if...

00:31:59.751 --> 00:32:02.166
this is permissible.

00:32:07.042 --> 00:32:08.375
Go ahead.

00:32:08.584 --> 00:32:09.250
Okay.

00:32:09.459 --> 00:32:11.500
You start, then I'll go next.

00:32:12.834 --> 00:32:16.958
I actually think sex is best

00:32:17.251 --> 00:32:19.541
when the dick isn't too hard.

00:32:21.834 --> 00:32:23.208
Because

00:32:23.959 --> 00:32:26.875
in a way, then I'm the one

00:32:27.376 --> 00:32:30.916
who makes it hard, you know?

00:32:34.126 --> 00:32:36.250
My secret will be dumb now.

00:32:37.209 --> 00:32:39.291
I guess I misunderstood.

00:32:41.126 --> 00:32:43.583
I was going to say
I like the Barcode Project.

00:32:45.584 --> 00:32:48.375
It looks pretty from the bridge
when I go to work.

00:32:48.584 --> 00:32:51.375
I expose my darkest secrets, and you...

00:32:51.584 --> 00:32:54.208
You said "secrets", not "darkest".

00:32:54.417 --> 00:32:55.625
So why is that a secret?

00:32:55.834 --> 00:32:58.708
Because everyone thinks it's ugly.

00:33:07.709 --> 00:33:09.750
Sorry, we're...

00:33:29.917 --> 00:33:31.916
- Can I whisper it?
- Okay.

00:33:53.126 --> 00:33:54.166
What?

00:33:58.751 --> 00:34:02.875
Sorry, I seem to
be sitting on everything.

00:34:03.209 --> 00:34:04.333
My bad.

00:34:32.042 --> 00:34:33.958
There's nothing sexual about that.

00:34:34.584 --> 00:34:35.666
Not at all.

00:34:40.417 --> 00:34:42.708
Although you do like soft dicks.

00:34:43.167 --> 00:34:44.125
Yeah.

00:34:45.042 --> 00:34:45.916
Okay. Your turn.

00:35:01.667 --> 00:35:02.666
I can't pee.

00:35:02.959 --> 00:35:04.791
Just relax.

00:36:15.542 --> 00:36:16.708
I'm going this way.

00:36:20.542 --> 00:36:21.583
Okay.

00:36:29.042 --> 00:36:30.166
What's your name?

00:36:31.376 --> 00:36:32.375
Julie.

00:36:32.584 --> 00:36:34.484
- I'm Eivind. Eivind...
- Don't say it.

00:36:35.751 --> 00:36:36.666
Why not?

00:36:36.917 --> 00:36:39.875
I'll find you on Facebook, and...

00:36:40.167 --> 00:36:41.208
Good thinking.

00:36:43.167 --> 00:36:44.375
Okay.

00:36:45.126 --> 00:36:46.375
- Bye.
- Bye.

00:36:47.792 --> 00:36:49.583
- We didn't cheat.
- No.

00:36:49.834 --> 00:36:51.000
- Not at all.
- No.

00:36:51.292 --> 00:36:52.125
Bye.

00:37:19.876 --> 00:37:25.166
CHAPTER 3
ORAL SEX IN THE AGE OF #METOO

00:37:51.792 --> 00:37:52.833
Aksel?

00:37:55.626 --> 00:37:57.426
Aksel, I need to tell you something.

00:37:57.876 --> 00:37:58.833
Aksel?

00:38:25.626 --> 00:38:28.625
<i>"A friend told me she had sex with a man</i>

00:38:28.917 --> 00:38:32.791
<i>"who pumped his dick into her mouth
while he held her head.</i>

00:38:33.334 --> 00:38:36.791
<i>"She was confused because she enjoyed it.</i>

00:38:37.001 --> 00:38:39.000
<i>"It really turned her on.</i>

00:38:39.626 --> 00:38:43.958
<i>"Can you be a feminist
and still enjoy being mouth-fucked?</i>

00:38:44.501 --> 00:38:47.666
<i>"Most women I know are ambivalent
about performing oral sex.</i>

00:38:47.876 --> 00:38:52.791
<i>"They must act as if they like...

<i>"So I create the stiffness</i>

00:39:00.001 --> 00:39:03.041
<i>"instead of having it thrust upon me."</i>

00:39:27.917 --> 00:39:29.208
This is good.

00:39:30.126 --> 00:39:31.708
- Yeah?
- It's over the top.

00:39:32.501 --> 00:39:36.208
I don't agree with everything,
but it's very well written.

00:39:36.417 --> 00:39:38.583
Original. Very good.

00:39:38.917 --> 00:39:40.458
What will you do with it?

00:39:41.292 --> 00:39:42.500
I don't know.

00:39:45.667 --> 00:39:47.208
You really think it's good?

00:39:47.501 --> 00:39:49.125
Yeah. Absolutely.

00:39:49.876 --> 00:39:51.000
You sure?

00:39:51.251 --> 00:39:52.833
Yeah, I'm not lying.

00:39:53.126 --> 00:39:53.959
No?

00:40:00.917 --> 00:40:02.000
Are you sure?

00:40:02.209 --> 00:40:04.500
Don't you dare doubt it.

00:40:06.167 --> 00:40:08.083
It's pretty cerebral.

00:40:08.876 --> 00:40:12.000
But it turns me on too.

00:40:12.334 --> 00:40:13.708
- Right?
- Kinda.

00:40:14.459 --> 00:40:15.750
Is that why you wrote it?

00:40:16.876 --> 00:40:18.000
Intellectual Viagra?

00:40:18.209 --> 00:40:20.458
- Yeah.
- It works.

00:40:21.417 --> 00:40:24.750
<i>Her piece "Oral Sex in the Age of #MeToo"</i>

00:40:24.959 --> 00:40:26.500

CHAPTER 4
OUR OWN FAMILY

00:40:41.269 --> 00:40:42.869
I understand.

00:40:44.292 --> 00:40:46.125
<i>I hoped I could come, but...</i>

00:40:47.501 --> 00:40:50.583
<i>I can't spend an hour on a bus
with this back.</i>

00:40:51.291 --> 00:40:53.291
Don't worry about it.

00:40:53.917 --> 00:40:56.916
<i>Could you come to Hønefoss next weekend?</i>

00:40:57.167 --> 00:40:58.617
<i>So we can celebrate together.</i>

00:40:59.876 --> 00:41:01.750
<i>Nathalie says happy birthday too.</i>

00:41:02.042 --> 00:41:03.708
Say hello from me.

00:41:06.959 --> 00:41:08.750
How nice to see you.

00:41:08.959 --> 00:41:10.791
- It's been too long.
- Way too long.

00:41:11.376 --> 00:41:13.833
<i>Anyway, have a nice birthday.</i>

00:41:14.042 --> 00:41:15.125
Thanks.

00:41:15.376 --> 00:41:16.333
Okay.

00:41:17.167 --> 00:41:18.458
I'm too skinny?

00:41:18.709 --> 00:41:20.500
- You work too much.
- True.

00:41:20.834 --> 00:41:22.666
We'll talk later.

00:41:24.542 --> 00:41:26.250
Happy birthday!

00:41:28.626 --> 00:41:32.125
- Why do I always have to go see him?
- He's not coming?

00:41:33.417 --> 00:41:35.458
Well, he's got a backache.

00:41:35.667 --> 00:41:38.708
There's always something wrong with him.

00:41:39.376 --> 00:41:40.209
Hello!

00:41:41.001 --> 00:41:42.958
So, he's not coming.

00:41:43.542 --> 00:41:44.916
That's not nice.

00:41:45.126 --> 00:41:47.500
He wanted to, but he has a backache.

00:41:50.001 --> 00:41:52.375
Does he realize how it makes you feel?

00:41:53.292 --> 00:41:55.166
- He's...
- It's a backache, Mom.

00:41:56.876 --> 00:41:57.709
Sorry.

00:41:58.251 --> 00:41:59.583
Please help yourself.

00:41:59.792 --> 00:42:01.791
Thank you. It looks delicious.

00:42:02.417 --> 00:42:03.625
I hope you like it.

00:42:44.292 --> 00:42:45.167
Of course.

00:42:45.251 --> 00:42:46.451
- And?
- It's great.

00:42:47.459 --> 00:42:49.583
- Have you read it, Mom?
- No.

00:42:50.126 --> 00:42:53.333
Julie's article. It's excellent.

00:42:54.417 --> 00:42:57.958
<i>At 30, Julie's grandmother
had three children.</i>

<i>at the National Theater.</i>

<i>was a widow, alone with four children.</i>

00:43:09.876 --> 00:43:13.541
<i>Julie's great-great-grandmother

00:43:13.792 --> 00:43:16.166
<i>Two died of tuberculosis.</i>

00:43:16.792 --> 00:43:19.917

Herta, was a merchant's wife</i>

<i>in a loveless marriage.</i>

<i>The life expectancy for women

00:43:34.959 --> 00:43:38.958
I don't want to bother you
with it, but...

00:43:41.417 --> 00:43:45.833
It's getting harder and harder to pee.

00:43:46.709 --> 00:43:49.916
I was scared it was prostate cancer,

00:43:50.209 --> 00:43:51.541
but it wasn't.

00:43:52.251 --> 00:43:54.250
- Well, that's good.
- Yeah.

00:43:55.417 --> 00:43:56.583
Still...

00:43:58.459 --> 00:44:00.208
I go to the toilet all the time.

00:44:00.459 --> 00:44:01.375
And

00:44:01.959 --> 00:44:03.000
there's leakage.

00:44:05.876 --> 00:44:08.291
Thanks for the cool jacket.
Good timing.

00:44:08.584 --> 00:44:11.333
I want to get into hiking.

00:44:15.876 --> 00:44:17.541
Sorry we're late.

00:44:21.626 --> 00:44:23.416
You didn't make them coffee?

00:44:23.709 --> 00:44:25.083
It's okay.

00:44:25.584 --> 00:44:28.041
I'll fix something.

00:44:28.334 --> 00:44:29.625
- How'd it go?
- Great.

00:44:29.917 --> 00:44:31.875
- How many saves?
- Lots.

00:44:32.209 --> 00:44:33.042
Good job.

00:44:33.334 --> 00:44:34.875
Happy belated birthday.

00:44:35.167 --> 00:44:36.833
30 is pretty major.

00:44:37.917 --> 00:44:39.750
Too bad we missed it.

00:44:40.042 --> 00:44:41.875
The tournament lasted all day.

00:44:42.292 --> 00:44:43.541
So we couldn't come.

00:44:44.084 --> 00:44:46.583
No problem. That's okay.

00:44:47.001 --> 00:44:49.916
She's the goalkeeper.
You should see her play.

00:44:50.334 --> 00:44:52.708
No, she doesn't have to.

00:44:53.959 --> 00:44:55.750
She's awesome.

00:44:56.042 --> 00:44:57.708
I'll let you know next time.

00:44:57.959 --> 00:44:59.500
Yeah, please do.

00:45:00.709 --> 00:45:01.875
Cool.

00:45:04.626 --> 00:45:06.750
Did you get the article I sent you?

00:45:08.084 --> 00:45:12.416
Yeah, I was about to ask you.
I couldn't get the link to work.

00:45:13.334 --> 00:45:15.041
My PC acts up.

00:45:16.126 --> 00:45:18.625
Know anything about computers?

00:45:18.834 --> 00:45:21.166
I can take a look.

00:45:22.001 --> 00:45:24.875
But can't she just resend the email?

00:45:25.084 --> 00:45:26.625
Wasn't there a...

00:45:26.834 --> 00:45:28.500
Did she send it in an email?

00:45:28.709 --> 00:45:31.041
An attachment to an email.

00:45:32.251 --> 00:45:35.333
No, I pressed the button on the mouse.

00:45:35.584 --> 00:45:38.625
Then I put the arrow on the square.

00:45:38.876 --> 00:45:41.750
I tried twice, then it vanished.

00:45:42.001 --> 00:45:45.291
It could be my fault.

00:45:45.584 --> 00:45:48.333
Maybe I sent the wrong version.

00:45:48.626 --> 00:45:51.583
We'll fix it.
You have to read that article.

00:45:51.792 --> 00:45:53.875
It's really good.

00:45:54.292 --> 00:45:55.375
Very...

00:45:55.667 --> 00:45:58.416
Very well written, and...

00:45:59.626 --> 00:46:01.041
Clever girl.

00:46:03.834 --> 00:46:07.375
When are you coming to see us,
Per Harald?

00:46:07.751 --> 00:46:11.041
We'd love it.
Come see where your daughter lives.

00:46:11.251 --> 00:46:13.375
Sure, of course.

00:46:14.334 --> 00:46:16.625
But it's hard to park in Central Oslo.

00:46:17.667 --> 00:46:19.208
They've got that

00:46:20.751 --> 00:46:21.875
resident

00:46:22.084 --> 00:46:24.541
resident parking there.

00:46:25.084 --> 00:46:25.917
Yeah.

00:46:26.667 --> 00:46:29.333
It's made it much easier to find a space.

00:46:29.584 --> 00:46:31.250
You just have to pay.

00:46:31.542 --> 00:46:35.250
And move the car every half hour?

00:46:37.501 --> 00:46:41.000
Is that the reason
you don't come to see us?

00:46:41.792 --> 00:46:44.125
Because it's hard to drive in town?

00:46:44.417 --> 00:46:45.250
That's not it.

00:46:45.542 --> 00:46:46.625
Then what is it?

00:46:47.042 --> 00:46:49.708
Well, you know

00:46:50.126 --> 00:46:53.625
with my painkillers,
I'm not allowed to drive.

00:46:53.917 --> 00:46:55.625
There's that, too.

00:47:02.626 --> 00:47:05.375
The good thing is, he's open about it.

00:47:05.584 --> 00:47:08.750
His pains. His prostate.

00:47:17.459 --> 00:47:19.750
You have to make your own family.

00:47:30.459 --> 00:47:37.000
CHAPTER 5
BAD TIMING

00:48:13.709 --> 00:48:14.708
Excuse me?

00:48:15.209 --> 00:48:16.042
Hi.

00:48:16.167 --> 00:48:17.666
Do you have <i>Green Yoga</i>?

00:48:21.584 --> 00:48:23.083
Let me check.

00:48:23.542 --> 00:48:25.833
- Which book again?
- <i>Green Yoga.</i>

00:48:26.376 --> 00:48:27.958
Published last year.

00:48:31.042 --> 00:48:34.750
No, I'll have to order it.
It's not in stock.

00:48:35.001 --> 00:48:36.666
How long will it take?

00:48:37.542 --> 00:48:38.666
Two weeks.

00:48:40.292 --> 00:48:41.916
Okay. No thanks.

00:48:43.292 --> 00:48:44.791
They don't have it either.

00:48:45.084 --> 00:48:46.041
Okay.

00:48:46.292 --> 00:48:48.000
We can try at Ark.

00:48:49.001 --> 00:48:49.834
Thank you.

00:49:15.959 --> 00:49:17.659
I told her I forgot my sunglasses.

00:49:17.876 --> 00:49:19.500
I just had to say

00:49:20.334 --> 00:49:21.750
that I know what we said.

00:49:22.292 --> 00:49:24.166
But I think about you a lot.

00:49:25.334 --> 00:49:26.291
And...

00:49:26.834 --> 00:49:29.250
I don't want to bug you if you're happy.

00:49:30.459 --> 00:49:31.416
Are you?

00:49:34.126 --> 00:49:36.250
- I don't know what to say.
- Say nothing.

00:49:37.167 --> 00:49:40.041
I'd like to see you again.
Just to talk.

00:49:41.792 --> 00:49:44.000
I mean, I'm not going to...

00:49:45.334 --> 00:49:49.750
But I'd like to see you again.
Just to...

00:49:50.626 --> 00:49:53.875
I'm at Åpent Bakeri in Barcode
nearly every day.

00:49:55.042 --> 00:49:57.375
I work there, I mean.
If you want to.

00:50:00.709 --> 00:50:01.750
So...

00:50:05.042 --> 00:50:06.166
- Eivind?
- Yes.

00:50:06.792 --> 00:50:07.750
Your glasses.

00:50:07.959 --> 00:50:09.041
Oh, right. Fuck.

00:50:24.042 --> 00:50:28.041
Language opens the door
to the subconscious.

00:50:28.251 --> 00:50:29.833
Freud was a great writer.

00:50:30.042 --> 00:50:33.041
He could be self-critical.

00:50:33.251 --> 00:50:36.291
He never hesitated
to revise his theories.

00:50:36.501 --> 00:50:40.625
He viewed each individual patient
as a research subject.

00:50:40.834 --> 00:50:44.208
Freud didn't distinguish between
therapy and research.

00:50:44.459 --> 00:50:47.583
I find that very compelling.

00:50:47.792 --> 00:50:51.291
Especially these days,

00:50:51.501 --> 00:50:55.125
when scientific methodology is applied

00:50:55.459 --> 00:50:57.916
even in the humanities.

00:50:58.126 --> 00:51:00.916
Enough about Freud.
How's the movie coming along?

00:51:01.167 --> 00:51:03.333
Isn't it almost done?

00:51:03.626 --> 00:51:05.250
Yeah, I've seen it, but...

00:51:05.459 --> 00:51:06.791
- You have?
- Yes.

00:51:07.084 --> 00:51:09.083
It's no longer mine at all.

00:51:09.292 --> 00:51:11.583
Is it as bad as you feared?

00:51:11.792 --> 00:51:15.500
The worst thing is how
they've housetrained Bobcat.

00:51:15.709 --> 00:51:19.208
It's all very sanitized and safe.

00:51:19.417 --> 00:51:20.625
I'll show you something.

00:51:22.417 --> 00:51:26.250
A mock-up of the movie poster.

00:51:27.126 --> 00:51:28.291
I have to admit...

00:51:28.584 --> 00:51:31.125
I'm embarrassed my name's on it.

00:51:31.334 --> 00:51:32.167
Shit.

00:51:32.501 --> 00:51:34.000
No! Seriously?

00:51:34.209 --> 00:51:36.333
You must be kidding. No way.

00:51:36.709 --> 00:51:39.541
That's the poster. For real.

00:51:40.501 --> 00:51:42.083
Let's see.

00:51:42.292 --> 00:51:44.166
Looks like Chip and Dale.

00:51:44.376 --> 00:51:45.209
Holy shit.

00:51:45.709 --> 00:51:47.500
Should I laugh or cry?

00:51:48.084 --> 00:51:51.916
Everything was butchered.
The story. All the details.

00:51:52.876 --> 00:51:54.666
They removed the starfish.

00:51:54.876 --> 00:51:56.666
Sorry, I'm lost.

00:51:56.876 --> 00:51:58.083
What starfish?

00:51:58.292 --> 00:52:00.125
It's, you know

00:52:00.334 --> 00:52:01.916
the butthole. The anus.

00:52:02.126 --> 00:52:04.208
His butt is smooth in the movie.

00:52:05.042 --> 00:52:07.375
This thing is gone.

00:52:07.834 --> 00:52:09.708
That's bad in my book.

00:52:09.917 --> 00:52:12.125
In underground comics you shit,

00:52:12.334 --> 00:52:15.791
you puke, you fuck and all that stuff.

00:52:16.001 --> 00:52:21.125
Bobcat is a wild cat
in a world of domestic cats.

00:52:21.334 --> 00:52:23.625
He's a rebel against the bourgeoisie.

00:52:23.834 --> 00:52:26.541
One of the most iconic buttholes ever.

00:53:05.459 --> 00:53:06.458
Coffee?

00:53:06.667 --> 00:53:07.500
Yeah.

00:56:39.792 --> 00:56:41.833
I don't know what we should do.

00:57:15.126 --> 00:57:16.541
I have to go.

00:58:32.501 --> 00:58:33.541
Aksel,

00:58:33.959 --> 00:58:35.375
we need to talk.

00:58:37.251 --> 00:58:38.791
Yeah, of course.

00:58:40.167 --> 00:58:41.000
What's wrong?

00:58:41.959 --> 00:58:44.250
<i>Julie said she'd been thinking.</i>

00:58:44.792 --> 00:58:48.000
<i>It wasn't his fault.
Nothing he could have changed.</i>

00:58:48.209 --> 00:58:50.458
It's not anything you've done.

00:58:51.042 --> 00:58:53.666
It's not your fault. But I feel...

00:58:53.917 --> 00:58:56.458
<i>It was about all their old arguments.</i>

00:58:57.042 --> 00:58:58.541
<i>Things they both knew.</i>

00:58:58.751 --> 00:59:00.000
<i>It was bad timing.</i>

00:59:00.209 --> 00:59:02.916
<i>They'd met in different phases of life.</i>

00:59:03.126 --> 00:59:05.250
<i>They wanted different things.</i>

00:59:05.459 --> 00:59:07.666
We want different things.

00:59:14.501 --> 00:59:16.375
Are you leaving me?

00:59:17.042 --> 00:59:17.916
Yeah.

00:59:20.834 --> 00:59:22.875
I want it to be over.

00:59:49.459 --> 00:59:53.166
Are you sure you're yourself right now?

00:59:54.001 --> 00:59:55.041
What do you mean?

00:59:55.334 --> 00:59:57.625
Do you realize...

00:59:58.292 --> 01:00:01.250
Do you realize what you're doing?

01:00:01.501 --> 01:00:03.125
What you're destroying?

01:00:03.334 --> 01:00:05.250
Yes, of course.

01:00:06.209 --> 01:00:08.083
That's why it's so hard.

01:00:15.709 --> 01:00:16.833
Where will you live?

01:00:18.584 --> 01:00:19.791
I don't know.

01:00:20.126 --> 01:00:21.291
You don't know?

01:00:22.001 --> 01:00:23.041
No. With Mom.

01:00:28.167 --> 01:00:29.166
Move home to Mom?

01:00:30.167 --> 01:00:32.250
Yeah. Until I find a place.

01:00:34.751 --> 01:00:35.625
Okay.

01:00:41.709 --> 01:00:43.333
No, come on...

01:00:46.042 --> 01:00:47.375
It's over.

01:00:48.834 --> 01:00:51.875
I've had it. What else can I say?

01:00:52.167 --> 01:00:55.958
Is something else bothering you
and you're venting on me?

01:00:56.251 --> 01:00:57.084
No.

01:00:57.334 --> 01:00:59.234
I've thought about it for a long time.

01:00:59.959 --> 01:01:01.875
It feels right.

01:01:06.626 --> 01:01:08.083
Have you met someone?

01:01:08.584 --> 01:01:09.541
No.

01:01:16.126 --> 01:01:19.000
I'm so sick of all this, Julie.
Dammit.

01:01:19.209 --> 01:01:20.583
Sick to death of it.

01:01:23.626 --> 01:01:25.583
But okay.

01:01:26.042 --> 01:01:28.208
Just leave. If that's what you want.

01:01:31.167 --> 01:01:33.833
I'll take a walk while you pack.

01:02:01.167 --> 01:02:04.541
<i>Julie said he deserved
a more grounded woman.</i>

01:02:05.417 --> 01:02:07.000
<i>Ready for children.</i>

01:02:07.459 --> 01:02:08.583
<i>Who was dependable,</i>

01:02:08.792 --> 01:02:11.750
<i>didn't flake out every six months.</i>

01:02:14.292 --> 01:02:16.833
But I like you flaky.

01:02:17.042 --> 01:02:19.041
<i>Aksel said he liked her flaky.</i>

01:02:19.792 --> 01:02:22.458
<i>That he needed someone like that.</i>

01:02:22.876 --> 01:02:25.375
<i>Who could draw him out
of his drawing board.</i>

01:02:26.209 --> 01:02:28.875
And as for having kids...

01:02:31.709 --> 01:02:34.458
<i>He said he'd rather be childless with her</i>

01:02:34.667 --> 01:02:36.500
<i>than have kids with anyone else.</i>

01:02:37.251 --> 01:02:39.333
You know that's not the only problem.

01:02:40.001 --> 01:02:41.666
So what is the problem?

01:02:43.542 --> 01:02:47.625
It's a combination of things,
not just that.

01:02:48.001 --> 01:02:51.791
I can see you're in a crisis right now.

01:02:52.001 --> 01:02:53.958
I can understand that.

01:02:54.542 --> 01:02:57.250
But if you love me,

01:02:58.376 --> 01:02:59.875
we'll sort it all out.

01:03:00.084 --> 01:03:01.583
Yes, I do love you.

01:03:02.417 --> 01:03:03.958
And I don't love you.

01:03:04.834 --> 01:03:07.208
<i>Julie felt that this sentence,</i>

01:03:07.417 --> 01:03:08.916
<i>the way she said it,</i>

01:03:09.126 --> 01:03:10.542
<i>her emphasis on certain words,</i>

01:03:10.626 --> 01:03:13.708
<i>summed up the impossibility of it all.</i>

01:03:13.917 --> 01:03:16.916
I feel like a spectator in my own life.

01:03:18.626 --> 01:03:21.875
Like I'm playing a supporting role
in my own life.

01:03:27.959 --> 01:03:30.041
I get that you feel stuck.

01:03:30.251 --> 01:03:32.958
You need a change.

01:03:33.167 --> 01:03:35.291
But is this the solution?

01:03:36.001 --> 01:03:38.500
This is exactly my point.

01:03:39.042 --> 01:03:41.166
I'm trying to tell you how I feel,

01:03:41.376 --> 01:03:44.625
and you're defining my feelings.

01:03:45.501 --> 01:03:47.208
I see what you're doing.

01:03:47.417 --> 01:03:51.041
What am I doing?
Tell me what I'm doing.

01:03:51.167 --> 01:03:53.291
Shut up, and I'll tell you.

01:03:53.792 --> 01:03:58.083
You're acting out the confrontation
you never dared have with your father.

01:03:58.376 --> 01:04:02.416
- You're taking it out on me.
- Is that so?

01:04:03.126 --> 01:04:05.291
What do you know about it?

01:04:05.626 --> 01:04:08.625
This is the crux of our relationship.

01:04:08.834 --> 01:04:12.041
Everything we feel,
we have to put into words.

01:04:12.251 --> 01:04:15.291
Sometimes, I just want to feel things.

01:04:15.542 --> 01:04:18.958
You insist on being so
damn strong all the time.

01:04:19.209 --> 01:04:20.125
For you,

01:04:20.334 --> 01:04:22.708
being strong

01:04:22.917 --> 01:04:24.833
is about formulating things.

01:04:25.042 --> 01:04:27.125
If you analyze things

01:04:27.334 --> 01:04:29.666
at every psychological level,

01:04:29.876 --> 01:04:31.375
you think you're strong.

01:04:31.584 --> 01:04:35.416
Because I'm less analytical,
you think I'm weaker.

01:04:40.667 --> 01:04:42.750
<i>She said she was terrified
of being alone.</i>

01:04:42.959 --> 01:04:44.625
<i>Terrified of living without him.</i>

01:04:44.834 --> 01:04:46.666
<i>That when she left,</i>

01:04:47.042 --> 01:04:49.291
<i>she'd be like Bambi on the ice.</i>

01:04:50.459 --> 01:04:53.916
<i>And that was precisely
why she had to do it.</i>

01:04:55.959 --> 01:04:59.625
<i>Aksel mumbled soothing words
she didn't hear.</i>

01:04:59.876 --> 01:05:01.666
<i>She was thinking about how,</i>

01:05:01.876 --> 01:05:05.500
<i>at the age of 30,
she'd just compared herself to Bambi.</i>

01:05:09.292 --> 01:05:10.125
No.

01:05:11.959 --> 01:05:13.416
I'm pathetic.

01:05:13.626 --> 01:05:14.875
No, you're not.

01:05:29.542 --> 01:05:30.500
Aksel...

01:06:12.376 --> 01:06:13.416
Hey...

01:06:15.834 --> 01:06:17.458
I didn't mean what I said.

01:06:17.751 --> 01:06:18.666
It's okay.

01:06:18.917 --> 01:06:20.500
I said plenty of things, too.

01:06:25.126 --> 01:06:26.333
Stay a little longer.

01:06:31.001 --> 01:06:32.708
You'll regret it.

01:06:35.251 --> 01:06:36.791
I'm sure I will.

01:06:38.251 --> 01:06:39.625
The saddest thing,

01:06:39.876 --> 01:06:43.916
is one day, you'll want kids.

01:06:44.209 --> 01:06:47.166
In any case,
you'll have other relationships.

01:06:48.209 --> 01:06:51.958
And you'll realize that
what we had was unique.

01:06:52.417 --> 01:06:53.291
I know.

01:06:53.501 --> 01:06:56.708
You don't. But I do.
I've had many relationships.

01:06:56.917 --> 01:06:58.416
I know how hard it is.

01:06:59.792 --> 01:07:03.041
Nobody communicates like we do.
Laughs like we do.

01:07:13.417 --> 01:07:17.291
Who knows?
Maybe we'll get back together someday.

01:07:18.167 --> 01:07:19.791
<i>Then and there</i>

01:07:20.376 --> 01:07:21.500
<i>she meant it.</i>

01:07:22.501 --> 01:07:23.666
I mean it.

01:07:45.292 --> 01:07:48.416
CHAPTER 6
FINNMARK HIGHLANDS

01:07:59.876 --> 01:08:01.375
- Are you cold?
- Yeah.

01:08:05.876 --> 01:08:09.750
- It looked easier on YouTube.
- I told you we should practice.

01:08:13.126 --> 01:08:13.959
Wait...

01:08:14.126 --> 01:08:15.416
This one first.

01:08:15.626 --> 01:08:17.875
- Are you sure?
- Yes, this goes on top.

01:08:18.084 --> 01:08:20.791
Right, but is it first?

01:08:21.709 --> 01:08:23.083
Isn't the other one first?

01:08:23.292 --> 01:08:25.416
- No, that's the top.
- Okay.

01:09:07.001 --> 01:09:10.000
<i>Eivind turned it into a funny story
he told everyone.</i>

01:09:10.792 --> 01:09:12.791
<i>But it touched something deeper in her.</i>

01:09:14.667 --> 01:09:17.000
<i>Awoke something in her.</i>

01:09:17.292 --> 01:09:18.692
<i>She googled her family name.</i>

01:09:18.876 --> 01:09:21.708
<i>Her grandfather came from the Far North.</i>

01:09:22.959 --> 01:09:27.416
<i>The DNA sample
she sent to America confirmed it.</i>

01:09:32.292 --> 01:09:35.666
<i>Eivind didn't see how
her newfound identity</i>

01:09:35.876 --> 01:09:37.875
<i>as 3.1% Sami</i>

01:09:38.334 --> 01:09:42.250
<i>connected to mind-expanding substances
and unrelated exotic rituals,</i>

01:09:42.584 --> 01:09:45.333
<i>but tried to be supportive.</i>

01:09:47.292 --> 01:09:49.708
<i>As she became increasingly militant,</i>

01:09:49.959 --> 01:09:53.250
<i>she saw how climate change
was hurting indigenous people.</i>

01:09:59.126 --> 01:10:01.000
<i>Inuit starving as seals vanish.</i>

01:10:01.417 --> 01:10:04.333
<i>Melting ice ruining reindeer pastures.</i>

01:10:04.542 --> 01:10:07.791
<i>Aborigines dying of skin cancer
from the hole in the ozone.</i>

01:10:10.376 --> 01:10:13.333
<i>Eivind could forget
about flying to New York.</i>

01:10:13.834 --> 01:10:16.208
Breathe in. All the way up.

01:10:16.459 --> 01:10:17.875
<i>She made them live</i>

01:10:18.751 --> 01:10:20.166
<i>more sustainably.</i>

01:10:22.292 --> 01:10:24.000
<i>He could always do better.</i>

01:10:24.251 --> 01:10:26.333
<i>Study the ingredients more closely.</i>

01:10:26.542 --> 01:10:29.750
<i>Consider the environmental impact
of his purchases.</i>

01:10:29.959 --> 01:10:31.625
<i>Plastic is killing the oceans.</i>

01:10:31.876 --> 01:10:35.000
<i>Norwegian cod
was ferried to China and back.</i>

01:10:35.251 --> 01:10:37.625
<i>Cobalt mining was destroying the Congo.</i>

01:10:37.876 --> 01:10:40.041
<i>Batteries had blood on their hands.</i>

01:10:42.584 --> 01:10:46.291
<i>The sum of Western guilt
sat beside him on the couch.</i>

01:10:46.584 --> 01:10:48.375
<i>Went to bed with him at night.</i>

01:10:50.876 --> 01:10:53.625
<i>Everything was weighed against
the greater cause.</i>

01:11:10.084 --> 01:11:14.250
<i>He felt he was betraying Sunniva.
Betraying the Sami people.</i>

01:11:18.834 --> 01:11:23.041
<i>Felt like the world's worst person,
but couldn't resist.</i>

01:11:24.917 --> 01:11:27.583
I forgot my sunglasses inside.

01:11:28.251 --> 01:11:29.125
Right.

01:11:29.417 --> 01:11:30.875
Be right back.

01:11:39.334 --> 01:11:41.833
CHAPTER 7
A NEW CHAPTER

01:12:27.751 --> 01:12:29.833
<i>Eivind didn't want kids either.</i>

01:12:30.376 --> 01:12:34.708
<i>Climate researchers foresaw
hard times for future generations.</i>

01:12:34.917 --> 01:12:38.541
<i>Overpopulation was the reason
everything was falling apart.</i>

01:12:51.167 --> 01:12:54.083
<i>Julie liked how this pessimism
added depth</i>

01:12:54.417 --> 01:12:56.041
<i>to his cheerful nature.</i>

01:12:57.792 --> 01:13:01.291
<i>But she could tell
he had other reasons too.</i>

01:13:04.792 --> 01:13:06.583
<i>Eivind's father, like Julie's,</i>

01:13:06.792 --> 01:13:08.958
<i>tended to forget birthdays.</i>

01:13:09.167 --> 01:13:10.541
<i>Eivind would often say,</i>

01:13:10.751 --> 01:13:12.651
<i>"According to my father's calendar..."</i>

01:13:12.751 --> 01:13:14.333
I'm 12 years old.

01:13:15.417 --> 01:13:17.875
They're all hard. No ripe ones.

01:13:18.167 --> 01:13:19.542
People die of thirst in Chile

01:13:19.626 --> 01:13:22.916
because avocados need so much water.

01:13:43.042 --> 01:13:45.250
Still following Sunniva on Instagram?

01:13:47.001 --> 01:13:50.791
Yeah, she posts interesting links
about the environment.

01:13:52.834 --> 01:13:55.875
We don't message or anything.

01:13:56.167 --> 01:13:58.833
She's got over 30,000 followers.

01:13:59.126 --> 01:14:01.000
For showing off her ass?

01:14:02.709 --> 01:14:05.666
She's not showing off her ass,
she's doing yoga.

01:14:06.209 --> 01:14:07.291
It's yoga.

01:14:10.292 --> 01:14:11.750
Okay, she shows it off a bit.

01:14:12.334 --> 01:14:14.375
I don't mind you following her.

01:14:15.126 --> 01:14:16.875
It's not a problem, but...

01:14:18.417 --> 01:14:19.958
I don't want to be

01:14:21.001 --> 01:14:24.500
the sensible choice
while she's the sexy one.

01:14:33.126 --> 01:14:35.083
There's nothing sensible about you.

01:14:36.709 --> 01:14:38.166
- I mean...
- Yeah.

01:14:39.292 --> 01:14:43.000
- The angle of her pelvis...
- It's yoga.

01:14:43.584 --> 01:14:45.208
That's not yoga.

01:14:45.501 --> 01:14:46.334
It is yoga.

01:14:47.001 --> 01:14:48.083
You liked it!

01:14:48.751 --> 01:14:49.875
Oh, my god!

01:14:50.792 --> 01:14:54.291
- That's not cool!
- I had to like it!

01:15:02.584 --> 01:15:05.416
That's right.

01:15:06.292 --> 01:15:09.041
So, that's why...

01:15:09.417 --> 01:15:12.708
CHAPTER 8
JULIE'S NARCISSISTIC CIRCUS

01:15:12.917 --> 01:15:14.517
I want people to watch me dance.

01:15:14.667 --> 01:15:16.708
It's annoying as hell.

01:15:16.917 --> 01:15:21.583
You can make a fool of yourself
on the dance floor and still be cool.

01:15:22.876 --> 01:15:26.458
So true! I've noticed that.
When we dance,

01:15:26.667 --> 01:15:28.166
you take up all the space.

01:15:39.459 --> 01:15:40.750
Yeah, but it's also like,

01:15:40.959 --> 01:15:42.875
"Everyone look at me!"

01:15:43.167 --> 01:15:47.125
Yeah, that's my point.
You're always so mysterious.

01:15:53.042 --> 01:15:54.625
You still have your stash?

01:15:56.501 --> 01:15:57.583
What's that?

01:16:02.042 --> 01:16:03.042
Where'd you find it?

01:16:04.376 --> 01:16:05.625
What is it?

01:16:06.251 --> 01:16:07.416
Magic mushrooms.

01:16:15.751 --> 01:16:16.708
Have you tried it?

01:16:18.834 --> 01:16:19.875
Yeah.

01:16:25.709 --> 01:16:26.542
Right.

01:16:28.251 --> 01:16:29.375
Why'd you do that?

01:16:30.917 --> 01:16:31.791
Yuck.

01:16:32.001 --> 01:16:33.208
Tastes like dirt.

01:16:34.626 --> 01:16:35.500
Anyone?

01:17:30.667 --> 01:17:34.083
I don't feel anything.
They're probably too old.

01:17:35.501 --> 01:17:36.583
I gotta go.

01:17:36.876 --> 01:17:38.916
Are you sure? Could be risky.

01:17:39.417 --> 01:17:40.625
Come on, man.

01:17:41.084 --> 01:17:42.375
We've done this before.

01:17:42.584 --> 01:17:44.666
- We'll talk tomorrow.
- Call me.

01:17:53.751 --> 01:17:54.833
Adil?

01:18:04.876 --> 01:18:06.166
Can you speak?

01:18:15.084 --> 01:18:17.458
It's kicking in for him.

01:18:21.709 --> 01:18:22.542
Julie?

01:18:22.876 --> 01:18:24.291
Is it starting to kick in?

01:18:25.584 --> 01:18:26.500
You need water.

01:18:26.709 --> 01:18:28.041
It's important.

01:18:29.001 --> 01:18:30.791
You have to drink lots of water.

01:18:32.501 --> 01:18:34.125
Here.

01:18:34.501 --> 01:18:35.583
Drink it all.

01:18:35.917 --> 01:18:37.583
You'll be okay.

01:18:38.001 --> 01:18:39.708
You know I'm here for you.

01:18:44.959 --> 01:18:45.958
Julie?

01:18:46.709 --> 01:18:47.833
Drink the water.

01:18:58.584 --> 01:18:59.625
It's okay! I'm here!

01:20:10.959 --> 01:20:13.166
Julie, are you okay?

01:20:18.209 --> 01:20:20.583
I thought I'd make it.

01:20:21.501 --> 01:20:22.334
Are you okay?

01:21:45.084 --> 01:21:47.000
Thought we could use some coffee.

01:21:50.542 --> 01:21:52.541
We won't be doing that again.

01:21:58.334 --> 01:22:00.583
You should take a shower.

01:22:00.792 --> 01:22:02.166
Do I smell bad?

01:22:04.167 --> 01:22:06.291
- Is that...
- Oh, my god.

01:22:07.501 --> 01:22:09.375
Oh, my god.
I need to take a shower.

01:22:09.626 --> 01:22:12.000
Don't worry, it's not urgent.

01:22:12.209 --> 01:22:13.958
Shall I make breakfast?

01:22:25.584 --> 01:22:27.708
I feel I can be myself with you.

01:22:28.459 --> 01:22:29.750
Completely.

01:22:33.792 --> 01:22:35.666
You weren't yourself before?

01:22:36.126 --> 01:22:37.958
I was, but I felt like...

01:22:38.542 --> 01:22:40.083
I had to be

01:22:41.209 --> 01:22:42.625
a bit

01:22:42.709 --> 01:22:45.333
like I was when we first met.

01:22:58.959 --> 01:23:00.833
Thanks for putting up with me.

01:23:01.126 --> 01:23:02.541
I love you.

01:23:39.126 --> 01:23:42.708
CHAPTER 9
BOBCAT WRECKS XMAS

01:23:52.459 --> 01:23:54.850
BOBCAT WRECKS XMAS

01:24:15.292 --> 01:24:20.208
<i>Have you read your
old Bobcat comics since you grew up?</i>

01:24:20.417 --> 01:24:23.458
<i>Because in our day and age,</i>

01:24:23.667 --> 01:24:26.166
they seem so inappropriate and murky

01:24:26.376 --> 01:24:28.583
that we feel almost sick

01:24:28.834 --> 01:24:29.750
<i>reading them.</i>

01:24:30.042 --> 01:24:32.833
<i>It's unpleasant to realize
you created a character</i>

01:24:33.126 --> 01:24:36.125
<i>who gained popularity
at the expense of women.</i>

01:24:36.417 --> 01:24:37.375
<i>Okay, I get it.</i>

01:24:37.626 --> 01:24:40.208
You're saying art should be pleasant?

01:24:41.292 --> 01:24:43.250
Do you think it's art?

01:24:43.542 --> 01:24:47.833
I brought along
some of your early comics.

01:24:48.084 --> 01:24:51.166
Bobcat is one thing,
but then there's Dick Wolf Dick,

01:24:51.459 --> 01:24:52.958
Pedo the Parrot...

01:24:53.542 --> 01:24:57.875
Right, I don't really think
this is the right medium to

01:24:58.251 --> 01:25:00.125
explain comic book humor.

01:25:00.417 --> 01:25:04.375
<i>Have you ever considered that
some of your readers</i>

01:25:04.584 --> 01:25:07.208
<i>may have been victims of incest or rape?</i>

01:25:08.542 --> 01:25:12.541
<i>Do we stop creating
because some people might feel bad?</i>

01:25:12.751 --> 01:25:17.833
<i>Artists get killed for drawing things
others find offensive. They're shot.</i>

01:25:18.084 --> 01:25:20.875
Are you comparing Mohammed caricatures

01:25:21.126 --> 01:25:23.458
with drawings of women with big tits?

01:25:23.751 --> 01:25:25.166
Or with incest?

01:25:25.376 --> 01:25:26.541
What's your point?

01:25:26.751 --> 01:25:28.541
Well, yes and no.

01:25:28.792 --> 01:25:30.250
It's a bit of a cop-out

01:25:30.542 --> 01:25:33.708
<i>to claim freedom of speech
when people criticize you.</i>

01:25:33.917 --> 01:25:36.291
<i>We're discussing your work right now,</i>

01:25:36.501 --> 01:25:39.291
<i>so nobody's censoring you.</i>

01:25:39.667 --> 01:25:42.000
<i>As a woman, I'm upset.</i>

01:25:42.209 --> 01:25:45.666
<i>I'm offended,
though we're not supposed to say that.</i>

01:25:46.167 --> 01:25:49.875
You have a choice.
You don't have to feel offended.

01:25:50.126 --> 01:25:51.416
It's not a choice.

01:25:51.709 --> 01:25:54.541
This is very generational.

01:25:54.917 --> 01:25:58.166
<i>One author cannot be held
solely responsible.</i>

01:25:58.376 --> 01:26:02.541
<i>I think art has to be messy and free.</i>

01:26:02.751 --> 01:26:05.250
<i>It has to be a bit dangerous to be fun.</i>

01:26:05.459 --> 01:26:09.083
I want art to be a form of therapy

01:26:09.334 --> 01:26:12.125
where I can express and work through

01:26:12.417 --> 01:26:14.166
all my unacceptable thoughts,

01:26:14.459 --> 01:26:17.250
all my darkest impulses.

01:26:17.501 --> 01:26:21.250
But you're using your male privilege

01:26:21.501 --> 01:26:23.666
to mock people weaker than you.

01:26:23.876 --> 01:26:26.250
It's hardly art, or even humor.

01:26:26.459 --> 01:26:28.750
Sorry, it's not
smart enough to be satire.

01:26:29.001 --> 01:26:30.201
But this isn't about me.

01:26:30.376 --> 01:26:33.375
Like, when I create something,

01:26:33.709 --> 01:26:35.625
it's not just me talking.

01:26:35.917 --> 01:26:37.541
- I know that much.
- Do you?

01:26:38.376 --> 01:26:42.208
<i>Let's say I draw this interview
as a cartoon.</i>

01:26:42.417 --> 01:26:46.458
<i>The comic version of me
might call you a whore.</i>

01:26:47.084 --> 01:26:50.041
<i>It doesn't mean I think that.</i>

01:26:50.292 --> 01:26:51.916
<i>It could be</i>

01:26:52.167 --> 01:26:54.833
a parody of a certain type
of insecure male...

01:26:55.667 --> 01:26:57.208
You used the word "whore"?

01:26:58.251 --> 01:26:59.875
Yes, I said "whore".

01:27:00.334 --> 01:27:02.291
<i>You're not interested in what I mean.</i>

01:27:02.542 --> 01:27:05.125
<i>Can't you see that's crass sexualization?</i>

01:27:05.334 --> 01:27:08.208
I think we're on a slippery slope here.

01:27:08.459 --> 01:27:12.500
All you post-feminists
are so fucking self-righteous!

01:27:14.001 --> 01:27:16.916
<i>Thank you, Marthe Refstad
and Aksel Willmann.</i>

01:27:17.251 --> 01:27:19.791
<i>The term is "sex worker" now, by the way.</i>

01:27:26.292 --> 01:27:29.708
CHAPTER 10
FIRST PERSON SINGULAR

01:27:34.042 --> 01:27:36.000
<i>I'm happy to help!</i>

01:27:58.792 --> 01:27:59.750
Long time no see!

01:27:59.959 --> 01:28:02.291
- Yeah.
- How are you?

01:28:02.501 --> 01:28:04.208
Okay. And you?

01:28:04.501 --> 01:28:05.916
I'm good.

01:28:07.417 --> 01:28:10.041
Do you ever talk to Aksel?

01:28:10.251 --> 01:28:11.458
Is he okay?

01:28:12.001 --> 01:28:12.834
Yeah, well...

01:28:13.417 --> 01:28:16.125
I heard the radio interview.

01:28:16.334 --> 01:28:17.208
Yeah.

01:28:17.876 --> 01:28:19.333
He went a bit far.

01:28:25.126 --> 01:28:26.833
He's not doing that well.

01:28:28.126 --> 01:28:30.041
Did you know he's sick?

01:28:31.876 --> 01:28:32.709
Aksel?

01:28:32.917 --> 01:28:34.125
Haven't you heard?

01:28:34.334 --> 01:28:35.625
He has cancer.

01:28:37.084 --> 01:28:39.500
Sorry, I thought you knew.

01:28:40.542 --> 01:28:42.125
It spread quickly.

01:28:42.334 --> 01:28:44.791
They discovered it too late.

01:28:45.001 --> 01:28:45.834
Cancer?

01:28:46.292 --> 01:28:48.333
Pancreatic.

01:28:54.042 --> 01:28:55.208
But...

01:29:00.001 --> 01:29:01.666
How is he coping?

01:29:02.042 --> 01:29:04.666
Pretty well, under the circumstances.

01:29:04.876 --> 01:29:06.250
But it's hard.

01:29:06.709 --> 01:29:08.333
The prognosis

01:29:09.542 --> 01:29:11.416
is not good.

01:29:11.626 --> 01:29:12.833
It's incurable.

01:29:25.709 --> 01:29:27.541
Thanks for letting me know.

01:29:27.751 --> 01:29:29.875
I thought you knew.

01:29:30.959 --> 01:29:32.750
No, I hadn't heard anything.

01:29:34.209 --> 01:29:35.333
It's just...

01:29:37.209 --> 01:29:38.958
I didn't know.

01:30:22.376 --> 01:30:23.666
When did you write this?

01:30:25.584 --> 01:30:26.750
Have you read it?

01:30:27.001 --> 01:30:29.625
I was moving it to paper recycling.

01:30:31.209 --> 01:30:32.291
It's very good.

01:30:33.959 --> 01:30:35.083
You think?

01:30:35.584 --> 01:30:36.984
Yeah, it sucked me right in.

01:30:37.584 --> 01:30:39.541
It's really, really great.

01:30:40.042 --> 01:30:42.125
I mean...

01:30:43.834 --> 01:30:44.875
It's like...

01:30:46.917 --> 01:30:47.541
What?

01:30:47.792 --> 01:30:49.083
Well...

01:30:53.084 --> 01:30:54.541
I have to say,

01:30:54.792 --> 01:30:56.875
it's really nice to read about you.

01:30:58.334 --> 01:31:00.166
But it's not about me.

01:31:01.209 --> 01:31:04.750
But the Christmas scene
is your family, right?

01:31:06.167 --> 01:31:08.791
Yeah, but it's fiction.
You didn't get that?

01:31:09.042 --> 01:31:10.208
I made it up.

01:31:10.417 --> 01:31:12.583
Okay, it's fiction.
In any case...

01:31:15.626 --> 01:31:18.291
- It's good.
- Because it's me?

01:31:18.501 --> 01:31:21.291
No, because it's nice.

01:31:21.501 --> 01:31:22.541
"Nice"?

01:31:24.792 --> 01:31:27.250
Yeah, nice. Good.
Well written.

01:31:27.751 --> 01:31:31.375
The way you write is really great.

01:31:33.209 --> 01:31:34.416
Like here:

01:31:34.709 --> 01:31:39.333
"Too many memories overlapping,
blending into a blur."

01:31:39.626 --> 01:31:43.916
That resonates with me.
It's well written. Truly good.

01:31:44.876 --> 01:31:46.250
It's not well written.

01:31:48.876 --> 01:31:49.750
What's wrong?

01:31:49.959 --> 01:31:53.333
Suddenly you're into literature?

01:31:54.876 --> 01:31:57.166
What was the last book you read?

01:32:00.334 --> 01:32:02.500
- Are you okay? What's up?
- Why?

01:32:03.376 --> 01:32:06.041
You criticize everything I do these days.

01:32:06.334 --> 01:32:10.041
Sorry, but going through my trash
is pretty invasive.

01:32:11.834 --> 01:32:13.875
- Can't you see that?
- Relax.

01:32:14.126 --> 01:32:15.458
- "Relax"?
- Calm down.

01:32:15.751 --> 01:32:17.666
Relaxing is your specialty!

01:32:17.959 --> 01:32:20.750
You don't mind
serving coffee till you're 50.

01:32:21.042 --> 01:32:22.083
But I want more!

01:32:32.126 --> 01:32:34.666
That's hurtful.
I don't know what to say.

01:33:00.542 --> 01:33:04.750
CHAPTER 11
POSITIVE

01:33:31.959 --> 01:33:33.083
Hello?

01:33:45.126 --> 01:33:46.083
Hey...

01:33:51.626 --> 01:33:52.750
Have you eaten?

01:33:52.959 --> 01:33:55.625
Yeah, but I can make pasta if you like.

01:33:55.834 --> 01:33:58.250
No, I don't need any if you've eaten.

01:35:41.751 --> 01:35:42.833
Oops, sorry.

01:35:58.042 --> 01:35:59.875
It started with a backache.

01:36:00.959 --> 01:36:03.625
I've had backaches before.
I didn't worry.

01:36:04.626 --> 01:36:08.083
Then my skin turned almost golden.

01:36:10.501 --> 01:36:11.701
I thought I looked good.

01:36:13.251 --> 01:36:15.041
It turned out to be jaundice.

01:36:18.334 --> 01:36:22.125
Mom said I was born jaundiced.
They put me in a light box.

01:36:23.542 --> 01:36:24.416
Is it painful?

01:36:25.417 --> 01:36:26.666
No, not really.

01:36:26.959 --> 01:36:28.291
It's okay.

01:36:29.167 --> 01:36:33.083
They block selected
neural pathways with Botox.

01:36:34.417 --> 01:36:35.250
That's good.

01:36:35.501 --> 01:36:39.333
Yeah, it keeps me from taking
too many painkillers.

01:36:45.084 --> 01:36:46.833
How's your family doing?

01:36:47.626 --> 01:36:48.791
Fine, I guess.

01:36:49.209 --> 01:36:51.125
Mom still follows your every move.

01:36:53.501 --> 01:36:54.625
And your dad?

01:36:57.501 --> 01:36:59.375
I've basically cut him off.

01:36:59.709 --> 01:37:00.666
Good.

01:37:02.084 --> 01:37:04.041
He can chase me if he likes.

01:37:04.292 --> 01:37:05.291
Does he?

01:37:05.542 --> 01:37:07.333
No, not really.

01:37:08.501 --> 01:37:09.416
Two coffees.

01:37:10.667 --> 01:37:12.875
They thought it was hilarious.

01:37:13.126 --> 01:37:15.375
In some circumstances,

01:37:15.626 --> 01:37:18.324
morbid humour can be funny.

01:37:18.626 --> 01:37:20.860
Even anal sex at a bar mitzvah?

01:37:21.167 --> 01:37:24.250
It makes me laugh.
But I'm an old guy now.

01:37:24.501 --> 01:37:25.500
No.

01:37:25.792 --> 01:37:27.208
Well, you know...

01:37:27.834 --> 01:37:29.458
I kind of expected this.

01:37:29.667 --> 01:37:32.833
I'd given up long before I got sick.

01:37:34.417 --> 01:37:38.791
Really. I just watch
my favourite old movies over and over.

01:37:39.042 --> 01:37:43.125
Lynch, <i>The Godfather Part II</i>...

01:37:43.376 --> 01:37:45.000
How many times can you watch

01:37:45.667 --> 01:37:47.083
<i>Dog Day Afternoon</i>?

01:37:47.292 --> 01:37:48.416
Many times!

01:37:51.792 --> 01:37:52.708
You should.

01:37:53.459 --> 01:37:54.458
Absolutely.

01:37:57.667 --> 01:37:59.916
Sometimes I listen to music...

01:38:00.709 --> 01:38:02.125
I haven't heard before.

01:38:02.834 --> 01:38:04.166
But...

01:38:05.042 --> 01:38:06.875
It's old as well.

01:38:08.292 --> 01:38:12.250
Music I didn't know about,
but from when I grew up.

01:38:13.251 --> 01:38:15.958
It felt as though I'd already given up.

01:38:18.084 --> 01:38:22.541
I grew up in an age
without Internet and mobile phones.

01:38:24.834 --> 01:38:27.166
No, but honestly...

01:38:27.709 --> 01:38:30.875
I sound like an old fart.
But I think about it a lot.

01:38:31.917 --> 01:38:35.083
The world that I knew

01:38:36.209 --> 01:38:37.958
has disappeared.

01:38:38.167 --> 01:38:41.375
For me it was all about going to stores.

01:38:42.001 --> 01:38:45.250
Record stores.

01:38:47.667 --> 01:38:50.417
I'd take the tram
to Voices record store in Grünerløkka.

01:38:50.751 --> 01:38:53.375
Leaf through used comics at Pretty Price.

01:38:53.626 --> 01:38:57.625
I can close my eyes and see
the aisles at Video Nova in Majorstua.

01:38:59.209 --> 01:39:01.791
I grew up in a time

01:39:02.001 --> 01:39:05.333
when culture was passed along
through objects.

01:39:07.042 --> 01:39:10.000
They were interesting because

01:39:11.751 --> 01:39:14.083
we could live among them.

01:39:14.292 --> 01:39:17.250
We could pick them up.
Hold them in our hands.

01:39:17.792 --> 01:39:19.125
Compare them.

01:39:19.334 --> 01:39:20.875
A bit like books?

01:39:22.167 --> 01:39:23.750
Yeah, a bit like books.

01:39:27.001 --> 01:39:31.333
That's all I have.
I spent my life doing that.

01:39:33.209 --> 01:39:38.125
Collecting all that stuff,
comics, books...

01:39:39.876 --> 01:39:41.083
And...

01:39:43.167 --> 01:39:47.166
I just continued,
even when it stopped giving me

01:39:48.292 --> 01:39:50.250
the powerful emotions

01:39:50.459 --> 01:39:53.458
I felt in my early 20s.

01:39:56.084 --> 01:39:57.916
I continued anyway.

01:39:58.459 --> 01:39:59.416
And

01:40:01.001 --> 01:40:02.291
now it's all I have left.

01:40:02.501 --> 01:40:07.083
Knowledge and memories
of stupid, futile things

01:40:07.292 --> 01:40:10.166
nobody cares about.

01:40:10.376 --> 01:40:11.875
Don't say that.

01:40:12.084 --> 01:40:14.250
You've got the comics you created.

01:40:15.084 --> 01:40:18.250
I wish I'd had what you had.

01:40:18.459 --> 01:40:20.416
To be able to draw

01:40:20.626 --> 01:40:24.583
without doubting that you're doing
what you're supposed to do.

01:40:26.459 --> 01:40:29.291
I really wish I had that.

01:40:29.834 --> 01:40:30.875
Yeah, but...

01:40:31.209 --> 01:40:33.083
I've got cancer. I'm dying.

01:40:33.292 --> 01:40:35.791
Of course I'm being retrospective.

01:40:37.417 --> 01:40:40.041
You said you've done that for ages.

01:40:40.251 --> 01:40:42.166
Not for that long.

01:40:43.417 --> 01:40:48.041
In recent years. I reached
a point in life when suddenly...

01:40:48.251 --> 01:40:49.833
It just happened.

01:40:51.459 --> 01:40:53.041
When...

01:40:55.876 --> 01:40:58.250
I began to worship what had been.

01:41:01.001 --> 01:41:05.125
And now I have nothing else.
I have no future.

01:41:07.251 --> 01:41:09.500
I can only look back.

01:41:13.001 --> 01:41:14.333
And...

01:41:14.584 --> 01:41:17.083
It's not even nostalgia.
It's

01:41:17.834 --> 01:41:19.250
fear of death.

01:41:19.459 --> 01:41:21.541
It's because I'm scared.

01:41:28.667 --> 01:41:31.166
It has nothing to do with art.

01:41:31.917 --> 01:41:33.833
I'm just trying to process...

01:41:45.917 --> 01:41:48.458
I have surgery tomorrow at 9.

01:41:49.876 --> 01:41:53.291
<i>I felt I could tell you anything.</i>

01:41:54.542 --> 01:41:56.000
<i>You wouldn't judge me.</i>

01:41:56.376 --> 01:41:59.375
<i>You're the least
judgemental person I know.</i>

01:42:02.584 --> 01:42:04.500
I don't have anyone I can talk to

01:42:06.001 --> 01:42:08.375
the way we used to talk.

01:42:20.959 --> 01:42:24.375
Can you tell me what you used to tell me?

01:42:25.209 --> 01:42:28.375
I hated hearing it at the time,
but can you tell me...

01:42:29.167 --> 01:42:31.208
I'll be a good mother?

01:42:34.667 --> 01:42:35.577
Are you pregnant?

01:42:45.292 --> 01:42:46.875
Congratulations?

01:42:49.459 --> 01:42:51.166
How do you feel?
Good or bad?

01:42:51.376 --> 01:42:52.625
I don't know.

01:42:54.126 --> 01:42:55.583
I'm not sure.

01:42:57.917 --> 01:42:59.541
It was an accident.

01:42:59.751 --> 01:43:03.000
I must've been careless.
I mean, clearly I was.

01:43:18.542 --> 01:43:20.666
Were you really sure?

01:43:22.626 --> 01:43:24.375
Sure you wanted kids?

01:43:30.584 --> 01:43:34.750
I was scared, too.
I had doubts, of course.

01:43:36.334 --> 01:43:40.208
But I didn't want to show them,
to keep you from...

01:43:41.792 --> 01:43:45.041
I never doubted you'd make a good mother.

01:43:45.792 --> 01:43:49.250
I saw that you doubted it.

01:43:50.167 --> 01:43:53.958
If I regret one thing,
it's that I never managed...

01:43:56.376 --> 01:44:00.791
to make you see how wonderful you are.

01:44:21.542 --> 01:44:22.708
What are you thinking?

01:44:26.334 --> 01:44:28.541
This is hard to hear.

01:44:34.709 --> 01:44:37.541
But... will you keep it?

01:44:39.459 --> 01:44:41.000
I don't know.

01:44:49.792 --> 01:44:52.916
I wasted so much time

01:44:53.834 --> 01:44:55.791
worrying about what could go wrong.

01:44:56.001 --> 01:44:59.958
But what did go wrong,
was never the things I worried about.

01:45:02.459 --> 01:45:06.208
If he's a kind man, then go for it.

01:45:07.084 --> 01:45:11.208
With a kind father,
and you as the mother,

01:45:12.167 --> 01:45:13.583
everything will be fine.

01:45:27.292 --> 01:45:29.625
Your voice has stayed in my head.

01:45:29.917 --> 01:45:32.750
We still have great conversations.

01:45:33.042 --> 01:45:33.875
No way?

01:45:35.959 --> 01:45:37.125
About what?

01:45:38.626 --> 01:45:41.125
Mostly about comics.

01:45:43.334 --> 01:45:45.166
Eclectic tastes.

01:45:54.667 --> 01:45:56.041
Same here.

01:45:56.334 --> 01:45:58.708
I have imaginary conversations with you.

01:46:13.417 --> 01:46:18.041
I'm sure I remember things about you
that you've forgotten.

01:46:20.126 --> 01:46:21.416
And the other way round.

01:46:22.376 --> 01:46:24.250
Yeah, maybe.

01:46:29.084 --> 01:46:30.916
When I'm gone,

01:46:31.751 --> 01:46:34.250
all that stuff about you will go with me.

01:46:45.751 --> 01:46:47.458
May I ask you a question?

01:46:49.376 --> 01:46:53.541
Had you already met him
when you broke up with me?

01:46:59.667 --> 01:47:00.666
Yeah.

01:47:04.126 --> 01:47:05.708
Why didn't you tell me?

01:47:13.751 --> 01:47:15.041
I don't know.

01:47:16.459 --> 01:47:17.750
I didn't dare.

01:47:24.709 --> 01:47:27.000
And now you're breaking up with him?

01:47:27.709 --> 01:47:29.375
No, why do you say that?

01:47:31.042 --> 01:47:34.666
Maybe because you don't seem happy
about the baby.

01:47:38.001 --> 01:47:41.250
And that's what you do
when things get tough.

01:47:49.292 --> 01:47:50.958
I'm glad I'm pregnant.

01:47:59.376 --> 01:48:00.541
I'm sorry.

01:48:06.834 --> 01:48:07.875
It's alright.

01:48:32.876 --> 01:48:35.426
You were the most important
relationship in my life.

01:48:38.584 --> 01:48:40.750
You don't have to say anything.

01:48:41.417 --> 01:48:44.500
I know it's not the same for you.

01:48:45.459 --> 01:48:49.000
That's normal.
You have many years left to live.

01:48:51.751 --> 01:48:53.208
But I know, I feel it.

01:48:56.042 --> 01:48:57.791
And I want you to know.

01:49:02.376 --> 01:49:04.625
You were the love of my life.

01:49:20.334 --> 01:49:21.791
You're a damn good person.

01:50:01.084 --> 01:50:02.500
I should've told you before.

01:50:03.251 --> 01:50:04.583
But I couldn't.

01:50:06.917 --> 01:50:08.291
I'm pregnant.

01:50:15.459 --> 01:50:17.166
How long have you known?

01:50:18.917 --> 01:50:20.875
I know we don't want kids.

01:50:21.459 --> 01:50:22.541
No...

01:50:22.751 --> 01:50:25.458
I don't know if I do.

01:50:27.751 --> 01:50:31.250
I feel like I never see anything through.

01:50:31.459 --> 01:50:34.958
I go from one thing to another.

01:50:43.584 --> 01:50:45.958
I need time

01:50:47.167 --> 01:50:48.541
to think about all this.

01:50:49.084 --> 01:50:50.375
About us.

01:51:11.417 --> 01:51:12.791
It's okay.

01:51:24.084 --> 01:51:28.416
CHAPTER 12
EVERYTHING COMES TO AN END

01:51:39.959 --> 01:51:41.083
That's where I lived.

01:51:44.584 --> 01:51:46.333
We moved there when I was 8.

01:51:48.501 --> 01:51:49.791
Shall we knock?

01:51:50.376 --> 01:51:51.916
No. I don't think so.

01:52:18.167 --> 01:52:21.083
<i>What do you remember from here?</i>

01:52:30.167 --> 01:52:32.250
<i>I remember these colours.</i>

01:52:38.459 --> 01:52:40.958
<i>They were always my reference</i>

01:52:41.334 --> 01:52:43.041
when I drew my comics.

01:52:43.792 --> 01:52:45.250
These colours.

01:52:51.834 --> 01:52:53.416
<i>And I remember</i>

01:52:54.376 --> 01:52:57.583
<i>the local drunk, who was super nice.</i>

01:53:42.751 --> 01:53:45.625
I'm so tired of pretending
everything is okay.

01:53:57.334 --> 01:54:00.458
It sucks being in so much pain.
It sucks.

01:54:01.251 --> 01:54:02.958
Everything sucks.

01:54:05.417 --> 01:54:06.250
And...

01:54:08.542 --> 01:54:11.375
I don't want to be a memory for you.

01:54:12.542 --> 01:54:15.250
I don't want to be a voice in your head.

01:54:16.667 --> 01:54:19.750
I don't want to live on through my art.

01:54:26.376 --> 01:54:28.750
I want to live in my flat.

01:54:30.917 --> 01:54:32.000
I want to live...

01:54:36.376 --> 01:54:38.583
I want to live in my flat with you.

01:54:39.542 --> 01:54:41.125
I want to be happy together.

01:55:26.959 --> 01:55:27.958
Bye.

01:55:28.501 --> 01:55:29.625
Bye.

01:55:29.917 --> 01:55:31.000
<i>Hi, Julie.</i>

01:55:31.584 --> 01:55:34.458
<i>Aksel's condition has suddenly worsened.</i>

01:55:35.167 --> 01:55:38.416
<i>He's too ill for his planned treatment.</i>

01:55:38.709 --> 01:55:41.791
<i>He may not make it through the night.</i>

01:55:42.459 --> 01:55:46.166
<i>His family is with him,
but I thought you should know.</i>

01:58:33.542 --> 01:58:37.125
EPILOGUE

01:58:37.542 --> 01:58:39.125
There's nothing more to say.

01:59:00.626 --> 01:59:01.459
Cut!

01:59:01.876 --> 01:59:02.709
One more.

01:59:02.876 --> 01:59:05.875
One more quick take.
Slight adjustment.

01:59:06.542 --> 01:59:07.708
Be sadder.

01:59:07.917 --> 01:59:08.833
Okay.

01:59:09.042 --> 01:59:10.791
But he gets up so quickly.

01:59:11.126 --> 01:59:12.333
Hey!

01:59:13.334 --> 01:59:15.666
Okay, camera ready.

01:59:17.376 --> 01:59:18.375
Action!

01:59:18.626 --> 01:59:20.026
There's nothing more to say.

01:59:38.917 --> 01:59:40.541
Cut! Great.

01:59:41.167 --> 01:59:42.083
Let's move on.

01:59:43.167 --> 01:59:44.375
Right, stills.

01:59:48.834 --> 01:59:50.875
Sorry, I need some shots of you.

01:59:52.917 --> 01:59:54.208
- Sure. Here?
- Yeah.

01:59:59.876 --> 02:00:01.708
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

02:00:05.084 --> 02:00:07.291
But I think I was pretty terrible.

02:00:09.459 --> 02:00:12.208
Then use that.
Hold on to that feeling.
