TUFFI FILMS PRESENTS

Want to give it a shot?

Yeah, why not.
- Are you ready?

Help...

There you go.

Whoa!
- Well?

What?

I love you.

Yes, you do.

How about now?

I love you.

And now?

Do you still love me?

FOUR LITTLE ADULTS

Hey!

Morning!

Morning Valma and Pulmu.

Morning sugarbunny.

Want some cereal?
- Yes.

Matias, can I phrase it
like this on Tuesday:

'Esteemed Speaker, the Social Affairs
and Health Committee

heard three researchers
on Tuesday, 7 September.

They all expressed their concern
for the current family leave model.

According to them,
it increases gender inequality,

complicates the development
of a father-child relationship,

and increases the risk
of divorce after childbirth.'

It's really good.
- Wait, that's not all.

OCTOBER

Be with me at this moment.

Please be with me.

You've given me so much already.
Please give me a little more.

Have a little more patience with me.

Please, be with me.

Jesus said to him:

'You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart

and with all your soul and mind.'

This is the greatest
and first commandment.

And the second is like it:

'You shall love your neighbour
as yourself.'

On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.

I'm glad Eevi's with her dad

so I got to attend the service,
not to mention the coffee hour.

Girl, you're totally off the leash.

Had the wine and everything.

I was sure the church would collapse

for having a heathen at
the Holy Communion.

Are you not coming in?

Oh yeah, sorry.
I should have told you before.

My parents invited us
for a family dinner today.

Oh. - Yes.

Will you come tomorrow?

I promised to take Miro
to the hair salon

and to his violin class.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry it has to be like this.

Soon we'll go to Stockholm.

I'll book us a room
with a view over the whole city.

Yeah!

Do you love Juulia?

Do you ever want to divorce her?

I do love her.

No, I don't want to get a divorce.

Thanks for being honest with me.

Do I have lipstick on my teeth?

No.

This wind will blow us away!

Please.

So...

Matias Johannes. My son.

Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha
often comes to mind

when I think of you.

Siddhartha tries to find God
in various ways

but ends up leading
the simple life of a ferryman.

And there,
while serving other people...

...he finds his place
and true calling.

Now that you have been handed

the grand and traditional
post of the parish vicar,

carry out your ferryman's job
with tenderness and thoroughness.

May God bless us today
and in the future.

Let's have some soup
while it's still warm.

Excuse me.

Very tasty.

Hi, Juulia. It's been a while.
Let's meet up for drinks?

People are extremely passionate
about this family leave issue.

Seriously,
the reaction we've seen is so strong

that I'm interested to hear
the response from your party.

It's very clear.

We should make
a post on social media about it.

Let's highlight the fact that
we were pushing it

from the very beginning.

Exactly. I'll forward you a link
to the materials soon.

That's great.

Thank you!

That's fantastic!
I'm so happy for you.

The advertising business
made you so tired and grouchy.

Invite me to
one of your parties next time.

I want to drink with
all the writers too!

I actually wanted to
talk to you about something.

I've been thinking long and hard
whether I should tell you this.

Because it's none of
my business, really.

What is it?

I told you about that woman, Enni.

Yes? - Well...

At the book fair afterparty...

We were both pretty drunk

and started kind of
bonding and opening up about stuff.

Then she told me...

...she'd been having
an affair for a year

with some married priest.

She then showed me
a photo of the priest.

Hi. - Hi.

Want some tea?
- No thanks.

How was Timo?

Where's Miro?

At Jere's.
I told him to be back by eight.

Timo works for this
new publishing house.

It's called Poikola & Lång.

He has a colleague called Enni.

I heard you're having
an affair with her.

What is this, Matias?

This is how you'll leave me?

No. I don't want to leave you.

What do you want then?

Are you in love with this Enni?
- I don't...

I mean...

I've had a crush on her.

But of course
I'll stop seeing her now.

I didn't want to hurt you.

But I hurt you anyway. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Do you want me to leave?
- No!

Don't go!

What do you want me to do?

I want my life back!

You've stolen everything from me!

You tell me you love me,

and then you take
everything from me!

You fucking asshole!

What should I tell Miro?

I'm sure you'll think of something.

...whereas fathers rarely
take full paternity leave.

The average is about 4 weeks
of the available 9 weeks.

As the docent of child psychiatry
Litmanen mentioned,

we still emphasise the mother's--

Honourable chairman...
- Patience, representative Salonen.

Thank you.

The structural inequality
sustained by family leaves

adversely affects men as well,
for example in the event of divorce.

To this day, when the parents divorce
in a heterosexual nuclear family,

the children stay with the mother
in 81% of the cases.

Representative Salonen.
- Thank you.

Representative Kannisto
mentioned the paternal leaves.

Those numbers are misleading
since they include entrepreneurs,

the unemployed, students,
who don't show up in the statistics

and distort the big picture.

Representative Pihkala.
- Thank you.

Are you okay?

My stomach hurts!
- Hey, what happened?

How's Juulia?

I don't know.
She won't answer my messages.

I'm sorry I told Timo.

No need to apologise.

Really.

Are we going to break up now?

I think we have to.

No!

UNKNOWN CALLER

Matias.

I regret nothing.

UNKNOWN CALLER

Matias Kronström.

Sorry, where?

I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.

I didn't realise the calls
came from the hospital.

That's ok.

It's nice to have you here.

I heard you can come home today.

Will you come?

32. - Good.

So these are now divided.

Now the next line,
first this sum here.

It's... 320.

Is it?

Ready to continue?
- Yes.

So, what's the sum?
- It's...

384.

Great! Well done, Miro.
That's it.

There's our charming pensioner!

Hey! How lovely to see you.

Congratulations for this new
chapter in your life.

Thanks. We'll go for a cup of coffee.
- Hello to you too.

I do appreciate you
confiding in me, Matias.

Thank you for that.

I'm sure the Lord
also appreciates the fact

that you have the courage
to face your sins.

Only then can you be forgiven.

The Lord knows you, and he also knows
you are but a weak man.

All He expects
is that you do your best.

I understand you.
I'm a passionate man myself.

But Matias.

You occupy a prominent position
as the leader of this parish.

From now on you must do things
in a way that causes us no trouble.

INCORRECT PIN CODE

I don't know how I can live anymore.
I'm at a complete loss.

Same here.

Did you ever actually love me?

I did. I do.

So, these are nails.

You can hang the beams on them.

Nothing to it. We just have to
visit the hardware store.

Okay.
- Want to go right after breakfast?

Okay. Can I be excused?
- Sure.

I wish you could still be
happy with me some day.

Do you miss Enni?

No.

It scares me when you lie to me.

I do miss her sometimes.

But I can live with that.

I want to live with you.

And I wish that you
could live with the fact...

...that I miss her from time to time.

I want to meet Enni.

You have such a lovely view
to the street from here.

Delicious looking pastries.

These are from a really nice cafe
just down the road.

I'm addicted to these.
It's terrible, really.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Want some milk?
- Yes, thank you.

Can I have a spoon, please?

Here you go.
- Thank you.

Thank you for coming, Enni.

You're welcome.

How are you doing?
- What?

I don't know why,

but for some reason I feel like
I should ask you...

...how you've been.

I don't know exactly.

I've been thinking about
the two of you a lot.

And cried.

I'm sorry, Juulia.

I'm sorry I hurt you.

You didn't deserve
to be hurt like this.

No, I didn't.

And I forgive you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for being such a cry baby.

I read that
literature blog of yours.

It's really lovely.
- No. Really?

I love the idea of reading
the same books again and again.

It shows how the reader's experience
ultimately defines the book.

Oh, thank you.

What's going on in your life?
How have you been?

Perhaps I'll get
straight to the point.

For the last few days,
I've been wondering...

...if an open marriage
might be the best option for us.

What?

I mean, maybe you two
should get to see each other

if you mean so much to one another.

Matias?
- Yeah, well...

I'm not sure I got this right...

I just read this guide to
polyamorous relationships.

It was really helpful and thorough.

So I went and bought another copy,

as I thought
you might both want to read it.

And think this through.

I marked some of the best bits.

What do you mean by
seeing each other?

Well...

You could continue your relationship.

But you wouldn't have to
keep it a secret anymore.

So how does this work?

Do we book our turns with Matias
on Google Calendar?

That's one option. There was a lot
about this stuff in the book.

But in a nutshell...

...Matias and I would
remain married and live together...

...and you and Matias
would be dating each other

and could meet
wherever you meet.

You are both nuts.

I mean that in a good way.
That's a wonderful idea, Juulia.

Or a lovely thought.

I love you Matias.

I love him, Juulia. I can't help it.

I need to use the bathroom.

It's there, just down the corridor.

What is this?

Is this some twisted way
of getting back at me?

Everything's fine.

I'm not quite sure what's happening,
but I'm here with you.

Care for a glass of wine?

I would love to,

but I should go and
relieve the babysitter.

Ah, of course.

Bye then.

Studies show that families long for
freedom above everything.

Freedom to choose the option
that fits their lifestyle the best.

We are seriously concerned
that people will find this

family leave reform
as something that's forced upon them.

Honourable chairman,

as a representative of the
Equality Party I'd like to point out

that this is about
equal opportunities.

I was thinking of
stopping by at Enni's.

If that's okay with you?

Of course it is.

Will you still be here
when I come back?

Yes.

NOVEMBER

I was thinking of running
for the party chair.

Okay. That's great.

Yeah.

Suddenly I've found
the courage to say it out loud:

'Yes, I would like to become
a minister one day.'

You'd have to work
even longer hours then.

That's right.

And another thing.

I was thinking of trying out Tinder.

What? - Yes.

I feel it might...

I just wish that--

Tinder?
- That's right.

Isn't that a little...

I mean, you're an MP.

Who's about to run for
the party chair.

Champagne?
- Champagne.

So, the question is,

shall we go with some caressing
and perhaps gentle penetration,

after which we can
sleep in a spoon.

Or would you prefer
some coke and karaoke?

And then some penetration
if we have the time.

I have to work tomorrow.
- Same here.

So let's take it easy.

I'm on my period.
- Good.

Are you leaving?

Yes, I have to go.

Get some sleep.

Good morning.
- Morning, darling.

Morning.

Will you have cereal?

Amanda asked me
for afterwork drinks.

I thought I'd go.

So could you take Miro
to his violin class?

Yeah, of course.

Doesn't make you any less of a leader
if you sometimes cry a little.

Do I still have your vote?
- Of course.

I have no idea what you're up to,

but remember that
I'll always be team Juulia.

What is this place?
- It's new.

Look at all these
lovely young people.

Hello. Welcome to Chit Chat!
It's our opening night!

Come and see
the amazing performances!

Who knows, perhaps you'll
end up on the dancefloor.

Dear friends. I suggest
you have some tissues to hand

because next up is
our gorgeous Miska,

aka Pulmu Naamapalmu
aka Paloma Holappa,

Snufkin in drag.

Please give a warm welcome to Paloma.

Hello, all you beautiful people.

I love you, Miska!

It took me forever
to accept that Matias

isn't such a radiant, warm
and charismatic person only with me.

He's like that all the time!

And then he's like, oops,
I slipped on a pussy!

If it's any consolation,

I've never found Matias
particularly hot.

And I can't be the only one.

Three shots of cut brandy
and three pints, please.

Hi.
- Hi.

You're the Snufkin in drag.
- Yeah.

Thanks for the gig.
You were amazing.

Thank you. And thanks for being
such a wonderful audience.

This is Amanda. I am Juulia.
- Hi, I'm Miska.

These two are Fanny and Topi.
- Hi!

I've always been
secretly in love with Snufkin.

Who hasn't?

Sorry for being so blunt,
but are you Juulia Kronström?

I am, yes.

I follow you on social media.

I'm kinda like your fan.

Hey, babe.

I think I'll head home now.
It was great to see you.

It was. - Want to share a taxi
or will you stay?

I'll stay for a bit.
- Take care.

The next round's on me.

I bet you're a poor student,
aren't you?

I'm a nurse.

But the pay isn't great, so go ahead.
- Where do you work?

Just started at the internal medicine
ward of the children's hospital.

So not only are you like Snufkin,
you're like Jesus as well.

You let children come to you
and cure the sick.

Yeah.

I pretty much see myself
as a Jesus figure.

What's got you so down,
if you don't mind me asking?

You drink whiskey?

She doesn't have
menopause yet like me.

Collagen coursing through her skin
and no sign of eye bags.

Probably has shitloads
of egg cells, too.

I'd appreciate it if you
didn't sell this to the tabloids.

Oh, sorry. I'll stop recording.

I'm also in a poly relationship
at the moment.

I mean, I only have
one partner, Yngve,

but he's in another relationship.

It was a bit difficult
to deal with the jealousy at first.

And since he's in Stockholm,

I sometimes get a bit lonely.

Yeah.

Do you love him?

I do.

Is he good to you?
- He is.

Yngve from Stockholm.

Hey!

Wanna hit the dancefloor?
- Let's go!

Look, it's Miska! I love you!

Thanks!

Even if a hundred lightnings strike
And all of life goes up in smoke

My love for you remains the same
We shall never lose hope

When a hundred suns shine upon us
And the ship is ready to set sail

I'll lead us out of harm's way
And find us a new place to stay

A hundred lightnings

Thanks for the company.

Likewise.

Can I hug you?
- Yeah!

Want to go for a coffee
with me some day?

Why not.

How will I reach you?

My email is juulia dot kronstrom
at parliament dot fi.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Matias?

I think I need to tell you something.

Sure.

Or are you busy with your sermon?
We can talk later.

No, go ahead.
- Okay.

It's just that...

I might be developing
a crush on... someone.

Okay.

I've met them
a couple of times.

I think they're also
developing a crush on me.

Their name is Miska.
- I see.

They're a nurse, and...

Anyway, I'm going to see them again.

Have you had sex?

Not yet.

Not that it's any of your business.

Your polyamory guide explicitly says

that partners should feel safe.

For example,
when it comes to sexual health.

Yeah. Well, we haven't.

We have kissed, though.

And if we do end up having sex,
we will obviously use a condom.

How many times have you met?

Three.

Three times,
and you haven't slept together?

Nurse Miska.

They do have a penis, though, right?

Yes, Miska does have a penis.

I hope you're happy.

This is what you hoped for
the whole time.

My sincerest congratulations.

For fuck's sake!

I'm sorry.
- Matias...

I'm sorry.

Hey, darling.
Nothing to worry about.

I'm sorry.

I'm just scared.

Welcome.
- Thank you.

You want a drink?

I have tea and vodka.

May I have tea and vodka?

I haven't been...

...this close to anyone but Matias...

...for nearly twenty years.

Would you like me to do
something else for you?

No.

I don't think you came.

I'm a bit too nervous.

But I will later.

Someday I'll squirt your
mattress so wet it'll get mouldy.

And you'll regret ever asking
if you can do anything else for me.

Wait, you're a squirter?

Yeah. I'm a squirt monster.

Oh my god. I love it.

I've only ever seen that...

...on TV.

Is that Yngve?

Yes.

He's so cute.

He said the same thing about you.

No, he didn't!

He was like:
"Oh, what a little cutie-pie!"

Don't hold my hands like that.

What? Sorry, did I hurt you?

No, I just don't like it
when you hold me like that.

Sorry, I didn't realise.

Why didn't you say something?

I thought you like it.

We've been fucking
like that from the start.

Why the hell
haven't you said anything?

Well, I'm saying it now.

I never want to do
anything that hurts you

or that you don't enjoy.

Oh my god.

Are you afraid
to tell me things like that?

Don't shout at me.

Now that I did tell you,
please don't shout at me.

Sorry. I didn't mean to shout.

I just suddenly feel
so damn ashamed.

So do I.

I read in this
American love guide

that men like women
who know their worth

and what they want,
and I'm nothing like that.

Sweetheart, can I hold you?
- Yes.

I'm glad you told me.

Really?

Can we fuck more, now?

Yes!

DECEMBER

Come on, Pulmu.

No...

Oh, you went from there.

You see, Daddy and I have this thing.

We love each other a lot.

And we both also have
another person we love.

Daddy has a girlfriend called Enni.

And I have someone called Miska.

Okay.

Both Enni and Miska
have their own homes.

Sometimes we visit them.

It's called polyamory.

It means you're in a relationship
with more than one...

I know what polyamory is.

Okay. That's good, then.

If you ever want to meet
Enni and Miska,

we can invite them
over or something.

Sure.
- They're both really nice.

I'm a bit busy right now
with the hurdle training.

Such a beauty.

These are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas, dear.

Okay, my turn.

Merry Christmas, dear.

With you,
every day feels like Christmas.

Thank you.
- Like little gods being born.

Like this.

I would've liked to buy you a castle
or order a symphony,

but I made this instead.

Wow!
- Do you like it?

It's super cool.

Did you...?

You didn't make
this yourself, did you?

You made this!
I don't believe it!

It must've taken you forever!

Call me on Christmas Eve?

You know how I love Christmas.

To me you are...
You are my...

I can call you
as many times as you want.

Okay.

I have to go now.

Okay.

Bye, honey.
- Bye.

I love you.
- Me too.

Hello, welcome!

Darling Miro!
- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Miro! Merry Christmas!

Some flowers for Kaarina.

Merry Christmas!

Go on, take your jackets off.

They get more stunning every year.
- Just like our stunning hostess.

Thank you.
- Honey, can you take this?

Is your sermon ready?
- No.

You could do
one of my old ones.

I saved all my Christmas sermons.

I do have
a little something prepared.

But I have to finish it tonight.

Apologies for that in advance.

I'll retire to work on it
at some point.

As long as you come to the cemetery.
That's not negotiable.

Yes, Mother.

Beetroot salad always reminds me
of Västerås during the war.

Mummy Birgitta used to put
bits of orange in the salad.

I'd never even seen an orange...

Who's that?
- Sorry.

Who calls at this hour?
- Perhaps it's Father Christmas!

Must be a wrong number. I'm sorry.

Where was I?
- The orange story.

Oh yes!

I would pick out the pieces
on the edge of the plate

and suck on them
with great devotion...

Sorry. It's mine this time.

I'm really sorry.

I should've confiscated your phones.

Hi, honey.
Can I call you later?

Great beetroot salad.
- What?

Oh.

Okay. I'm glad you called.

Enni called Miska.

She was crying because
you wouldn't answer.

What?
- Maybe you should call her.

Sorry about this hassle.

This is about...
Matias and I are...

Can't we say it? We're family.

You're not separating, are you?
- No, we're not.

But Matias and I are polyamorous.

Hi.
- Hi.

I'm sorry I couldn't answer before.
It's been a hectic day.

Are you mad at me?

I don't know.

I hope you manage
to set things straight.

Primarily for Miro's sake.

He's such a sensitive boy.

And you both have such
wonderful careers.

Public ones too.

Everything is fine with us.

But thanks for your concern.

For fuck's sake, you two.

You think I never cheated on Paavo?

I had an affair for three years.

But I certainly didn't have
the nerve to claim

the rest of the world
is narrow-minded

just because I lapsed
into shagging other men.

Listen to me, Juulia.

I truly hope you two will grow up,

and we never have to
speak of this again.

I'll apologise to your mother.

This was bad timing on my part.

I'm sorry.

Matias?

It's stuck on my neck.

FEBRUARY

How is that possible?

You have the...
- Coil.

Yes. Or I did.

Apparently,
it came loose at some point.

Or that's what the doctor said...

It's really rare but it can happen.

Like, one in a thousand chance.

Oh my god.

What are we going to do?

I think it's your decision,
of course.

And whatever you decide to do,

I'll fully support you.

But what do you think?

It's difficult to say
because I feel like...

I hope you don't feel like
I'm pressuring you into anything.

The discharge may last
for a few weeks as spotting,

until it gradually turns into
your regular menstrual cycle.

I will give you the instructions
in writing as well.

Here's the number
for our out of hours reception.

You should call them if you have
any concerns along the way,

or on the day of the bleeding.

Okay.

Do either of you have
any questions at this point?

Not really. You explained
everything really thoroughly.

I have nothing either.

Okay.

Here are the pills
you're going to take at home.

Two painkillers. And then....

The medicine that'll start
the emptying of the uterus.

I will now give you the tablet
that starts the termination process.

I can't take this pill.

I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Don't worry about it.

It's your choice.

You still have plenty of time
should you change your mind.

Our doors are open to you.

I'd like to be there for you.

But I'm not sure if I know how.

I've decided I can do this.

Because I...

I began to love it.

It's very early, of course.
Anything could happen.

But if everything goes well,
I'll give birth in October.

I see.

Well...

What now?

What happens now?

Are you going to move in together?

I was thinking we could carry on
with the current arrangement.

But maybe Matias could
spend more time at my place.

The polyamory guide
didn't really say how to deal with

situations like this.

You know what.

Congratulations.

I mean, it's a wonderful thing.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Matias?
- Yes?

Could you maybe
stay home with me tonight?

Of course.
- Sure I can.

It's one hell of a coincidence.

Sorry if I'm being harsh.

I just don't want you to be lied to.

I've chosen to think well of Enni.

That she's telling the truth.

OCTOBER

Hello?
- Hi.

Hi.
- Did I wake you?

I'm sorry, but we have to
be at the hospital at five

because I have a meeting at six.

What result are you expecting
from the chairman election?

A good one. The people running
against me are all competent.

The Party will get a great
chairman regardless.

What about your family?

You're known as a champion
of equal family leave.

How was parental leave
split in your family?

Tonight? Sure.

That might be wise
so we can iron out the details.

Is that what you bought?
That's not...

Sorry, I'm a little busy.
Can I call you back?

Could you wait here?
I need to visit the florist's shop.

That's not at all what I meant.
We can't bring them that.

Hi.
- Hi.

Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I'll put the flowers over there.

Such lovely flowers! Thank you!
- Congratulations.

Thank you.

WELCOME, LITTLE MIRACLE!

So beautiful.

How are you doing?

Thank you, I'm fine now.
Just a little groggy.

The placenta wouldn't come off,
so I lost a lot of blood.

When can you go home?

The baby and I will stay
for three more days.

But Matias can come home
tomorrow, I think. - Yes.

Don't you have work
the day after tomorrow?

Yeah, I didn't really apply
for parental leave, so...

How are you two?

We're fine.

I've been doing
a lot of night shifts.

NOVEMBER

Well?

I have to go.

Enni hasn't slept for several nights,
and she's falling apart.

Okay, Eevi! Time for bed.
Take the dress off.

Take the dress off
and brush your teeth.

I don't want to go to bed!
- Let mummy help you.

This is not funny.
- Did you pump milk?

It's in the fridge.
- Where?

In the fridge! Are you deaf?

Take off the dress
and brush your teeth.

No!

Then we'll do it like this!

Hey, you listen now--

Fuck!

I want to bring the Equality Party
close to every citizen.

I feel our methods and principles
are driven by love.

I want to lead a party
that isn't afraid to use that word.

A party that takes love seriously.

The voting for chairman has finished.

The votes have been
counted and verified.

Before me,
I have the results of the vote.

Candidate Niinisalo: 98 votes.

Candidate Vartiainen: 146 votes.

Candidate Kronström: 197 votes.

Juulia Kronström is the new
Chairman of the Equality Party.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU RULE!

Juulia motherfucking Kronström!
- Thank you for your trust!

It was a great speech.

Welcome! You found your way.
- Yes, no problem.

Here you go.
- Oh, thank you!

Long time no see. Cool cap.
- Thanks.

To the new chairman!
- Oh? Thank you!

I didn't know you were
such a good cook. - Thank you.

I can't cook to save my life.

Neither can I. This is lovely.
Thank you, Matias.

I like to eat well,
and it's nice to cook for others.

Juulia, how about Miro?
Did he agree to go?

Yes, he did.
- Okay.

To his violin class.

Actually, I have something to say.

Maybe I should just get it over with.

First of all,
thank you so much for coming.

And at such short notice.

Thank you, Enni, for letting us
into your lovely home.

Thank you, Matias,
for this amazing food.

So...

It's difficult to say this
out loud, but...

This might feel insignificant
to some people,

but it has become a big deal to me.

I mean, this setup
has become quite difficult.

Juulia and Matias.

You are the ones
who are openly a couple.

But Enni and I are sort of
hidden from the world.

If you know what I mean.

Of course, I understand why that is.

But I wanted to say this
out loud right here

because this doesn't concern
only me and Juulia.

It concerns all of us.

Right.

Yeah, I've been
thinking about this, too.

I've been wondering
how Joonatan will feel

if he can never
speak about his father.

Or say "That's my dad",
or go to parties with him.

I don't think we need to
solve this here and now.

For me, it's a relief
just to tell you about this.

Anyone else want to share anything?

I...

I have...

I feel ashamed.
- About what?

About how upset I am
that you have Joonatan.

I'm angry and terrified.

And ashamed of being
angry and terrified.

I mean, it's not like I'm
the central character here.

I'm also ashamed.

Even though
I wanted to have this baby

and chose to live here alone
with the kids,

I can't help that
I'm totally fucking exhausted.

Right now, I should be living

a lovely, snoozy life with my baby.

But all this time is being wasted.

Because I'm so angry
and tired all the time.

And I'm ashamed to admit it,
but I envy you all so much

because you go on amazing dates,
and all I do is laundry.

You all have other partners,
but all I have is Matias.

If it's any consolation,
Matias and I have had one date,

and he left in the middle
to be with you.

And my other partner is fucking
some male model in Södermalm.

Sorry, that came out a bit harsh.

I'm also jealous
that Matias has bought you

diamond earrings
and just plywood ones for me.

But it does feel like

he once put a lot of effort
into your relationship.

The plywood ones are nice...

But they're not forever.

Not something you'd get for someone
who means the whole world to you.

I'd like to mean
the whole world to somebody.

Traditions. Marriage. Family.

They exist so that we
stupid, little people,

with all our desires and impulses,

wouldn't be driven into total chaos.

I understand why
young people these days

feel a need to break boundaries

and throw away
labels and hierarchies.

It's a nice thought, in theory.

But real life is not a bloody poem.

It's life and death and survival

in the midst of
what nature offers us.

You asked for my advice.
I'll give you some advice.

Cut all contact
with this Enni immediately.

Take care of child support
and all that, of course.

What's done is done.

But do not speak of this
to anybody again.

If somebody files a complaint about
this situation to The Chapter,

without a shadow of a doubt
you'll be dismissed from office.

But you know that yourself.
- Yes.

Right.

Welcome to the adult world.

You're so fucking difficult
That I have to be enlightened

So that I can deal with you
Deal with you

But you're so fucking lovely
That I'll climb a mountain

And fucking do it
I'll fucking do it

Which one of us is crazier?
Let's make a poll

You or you, of course it's me
I don't care

The enlightened do not care

I sit and breathe

I sit and breathe down your neck

I sit and breathe down your neck
Take this

Take this, like this

Who's the one you're writing about?
- I don't think I can tell.

Come on, tell me!
- I can't!

Are you going to introduce us?

Sorry, of course.
This is Juulia. And this is Meea.

Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Miska's girlfriend.
- Okay, nice!

Thanks for the performance.
It was great.

Thanks! Great to hear.
I was so bloody nervous.

Now I'm all pumped up.
Give me the mike back!

What are you having?
I'll order another round.

I'll have an LBGT.

I'd actually like to go back
to your place.

I'm really tired.

But I just bumped into Meea.

Honey, I think you drink
a bit too much.

Maybe you should draw up
a bill for the Parliament

on how you think
Miska Holappa should live.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know.
I guess I'm fucking wasted.

My apologies, Queen Juulia the First.

I'm going home now.

It's about Sami.
- No way!

I work three shifts,
but we meet whenever it suits you.

On my rest day,
I wake up and listen to your stories.

I could listen to you forever,
but when it's my turn to talk

nothing comes out.
I don't know how to talk to you.

I don't know what to say.

Maybe you should
come out from under there.

What does a pretensious snob like you
get from this relationship?

It's spelled "pretentious".

You're home already?

I think Miska just left me.

No...
- Yeah.

Oh, no.

Can we talk when I come back?
I have to go help Enni.

She called again, and...
- Yeah, of course.

Hi, baby!

There, there.

Hi, Miro.

What?

Oh my god!

Everything will be okay.
I'll call an ambulance.

I'll be there soon, but I have to
call the ambulance first.

Mummy's ill again,
but she will get better.

I have to hang up now
to call the ambulance.

I'll call you right back, okay?

It's going to be fine.

What the...?

Her oxygen levels are fine and
the internal bleeding has stopped.

The doctor will determine
the benefits of a colectomy.

And we'll go forward from there.

I'll be in the booth
in case you need anything.

Thank you.

Is it okay that we're here?

Matias asked me to come.
He had some important meeting.

I'm glad you're here.

Say hi to Auntie Juulia.

Daddy brought
Joonatan over yesterday.

He liked it when I tickled him
with my hair.

He laughed like this.

You always wanted a little brother.

And now you have one.

Yeah.

Riikka Hokkanen said that
if my operation goes well

I can go home the day
before Christmas Eve.

That would be wonderful.

She also said that I should
stop drinking completely.

And eliminate
all stress from my life.

I was thinking that
even though I forgave you...

...I'm still angry with you.

Maybe I'm driving you away...

...because I'm unable to
properly forgive you.

I'm not going anywhere.

Grandpa!

Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas!

Miro keeps growing,
and grandpa keeps shrinking.

Did you oversleep?
- A bit.

Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Dad.

Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.

Here we go.

Hello! Merry Christmas.

Welcome.

Kaarina Kronström. Matias's mother.

Enni.
- Welcome to our home.

It's lovely to meet you.
- Yes, it is.

And who's this little lady?
What's your name?

Eevi.
- My name is Kaarina.

Is this for me? Thank you!

Such a lovely dress!

Merry Christmas!

Great to see you home.
- Tell me about it.

Is that Father Christmas?
- I don't think so.

Come and say hi.
- Hello!

Welcome to our home.
- Thank you. I'm Miska.

Hi!

Hi.

Merry Christmas.

How long are you on leave, Juulia?
- For three days.

Three days?

Our election campaign starts
right after Epiphany.

Don't wear yourself out.
Ask me to help with Miro.

So, Matias. Is your sermon ready?

It is, in fact. Got it done.

That poinsettia you brought
is so beautiful.

I heard you're a nurse.

I work at the Children's Hospital.
At the internal medicine ward.

Pass the sugar, please.

Thank you.

Hear that, Paavo? Yngve is
a maths teacher in Stockholm.

Oh, that's good.

I got the almond!

I wanted it.
- Maybe next year.

You can make a wish now.

Juulia!
- Kerkko, hi!

There she is!

Merry Christmas.
- Hi! Merry Christmas.

How are you?
- Much better, thank you.

Good to hear.

Hi. I'm Kerkko.

Your mum's colleague from parliament.
- This is Miro.

How are your guinea pigs?
- Fine.

Remember my wife Maria?
- Yes, we've met before.

These are my boys. This is Niko.
- Hi.

And this is Tomi.
- Hi.

This is Enni, Matias's other partner.
And their son Joonatan.

Hi. Kerkko. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

This is Eevi, Enni's child.

Will you say hi, Eevi?
- Hi.

And this is Miska,
my other partner.

Hi. Miska Holappa.
- Hi, Kerkko.

And Yngve, Miska's other partner.
He's from Stockholm.

Nice to meet you.
- And you know Amanda.

Hi. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Shall we go listen to Dad?

But Mary treasured up
all these things

and pondered them in her heart.

The shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God

for all the things
they had heard and seen,

which were just as
they had been told.

This Christmas I've thought
a lot about the shepherds,

who toiled through the night,
taking care of the sheep.

Suddenly, an angel appeared
in front of them.

The angel said:
"Do not fear! Do not fear!"

On that night,
God was very brave.

Brave enough to be born human.

A small, helpless child

of a poor carpenter
and his unwedded spouse.

To be born human,

with all the defects
and imperfections.

A trembling sigh
caresses sweetly

A tear across my face

The air is warm and full of grief

But also filled with grace

You trample on the streets of gold

I'm frozen in the night

From the caves of distant towns

You cast a warming light

In our brilliant innovation

Love became our creation

Your are the Earth

I am the Moon,
you are the Moon

I am the Earth

Building a house in your heart,
I love you

More than I love God

Building a house in your heart,
I love you

More than I love God

Moments beloved
are far too fair

For cunning, lashing tongues

Love is peace,
and love is freedom

Nothing but violated words

More gorgeous
than a golden castle

Your heart is my home

More comforting
than a warm embrace

My heart is your home

In our brilliant innovation

Love became our creation

You are the Earth

I am the Moon,
you are the Moon

I am the Earth

Building a house in your heart,
I love you

More than I love God

Building a house in your heart,
I love you

More than I love God

Preaching about the light
in your heart, I love you

More than I love God

Building a house in your heart,
I love you

More than I love God
