Original subtitles

-Go for it! -No, I'm braking!

You can make the turn, Julie!

You can make a wish if it starts snowing.

No way! Says who?

Says me!

I wish for us to stay best friends forever.

Me too.

Santa Lucia

There in our dark house...

MY HOUSE AFTER SCHOOL?

Excellent!

Do any of you know why we celebrate Santa Lucia?

A celebration of light.

Say it, Julie. Say it!

What did you say it was?

A celebration of light.

Julie?

-I think you know the answer. -Come on, Julie!

That idiot can't even answer!

Let Julie answer.

-She can't. -That's enough, Lasse!

Just say what you think it is, Julie.

Come on!

-Mette? -A celebration of light?

That's right.

Santa Lucia is a celebration of light.

Well done!

Naisha? Tomorrow we are rehearsing our Christmas play.

I was wondering if you wanted to be Lucia?

-Yes! -Lucky you!

-You'll be perfect. -Thank you.

Julie? You two others can wait outside.

Remember what we talked about at that meeting with your parents?

You still have a problem speaking in front of the class.

I discussed it with your parents.

We thought maybe you'd like a little challenge.

I was wondering if you�d like to introduce the Christmas play.

Would you?

Good!

You'll do great. We'll help you practice.

Of course. Just go like this:

Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our Christmas play!

-Let's get them! -It's the boys!

-Come on! -Take that!

Attack!

REFUGEE RECEPTION CENTER

-Hi, dad! -Hi, Julie.

Let's get Naisha!

-There they are. -Duck!

What is this?

It's Igor! Come on!

Was it you?

-No... -You just wait!

-Come on, Julie! -Come on!

Meet me you-know-where!

-In here! -Hurry!

-Did you know he's a cannibal? -A cannibal?

Amir said he ate his whole family.

-No way! -He made soup out of them.

-They found bones in his yard. -No way!

But his grandmother was so hard to chew he got a tummy ache.

-Rafiki. -Rafiki.

-Best friends forever. -Best friends forever.

-Naisha? -It's just mom.

-Chicken stew? -Yes. Hi, girls.

-Thought you might like that. -My favorite!

Mom, I have something to tell you.

I'm going to be Santa Lucia.

-When? -On Friday, of course.

-Friday... -Is something wrong?

No, not at all!

Do you want to call home and tell them you're eating here?

I don't have to call. I can stay as long as you'll let me.

-How about you, Julie? -I have to call.

Hi, dad. I'm at Naisha's. Can I eat chicken stew here?

Please!

But Mette is here.

OK.

Bye.

Was that good?

The rule is that we ask before going home with someone.

How's the Christmas play going?

-Is everything all right? -OK, but I don't want to introduce.

You'll do fine. We've talked about this before.

I think it would be good for you, Julie.

You'll do super-well!

You'll be super. The world's best introducer.

That's what I think.

Round yard and hearth

As the sun departs from earth

Shadows are brooding...

"Welcome to our Christmas play."

Wel...

May I have a word with you?

Look at her!

Look!

"Welcome to the 4th grade Christmas play."

Wel...

She can't do it. Look at her!

-She doesn't even know what to say. -Let Julie speak!

-Says who? -Says me! You're so immature!

Naisha's an idiot!

You come with me.

Now you can speak, Julie.

-Julie! -Wait for us!

Julie...

-Don't be chicken. -I'm not chicken.

-You can do it. -No, I can't!

-Don't give up so easy! -Show those boys how tough you are.

-Just say it. You can do it! -You can, no problem.

-I don't want to. -Don't be chicken!

-Just try! -You don't get it!

You'll never do it if you don't try!

-I don't want to! -Don't be chicken!

Why did you do that?

Unbelievable...

-Jerks! -It takes one to know one!

Julie?

Hey, can I come in?

Is something wrong?

-What happened? -I just got so mad at Naisha.

I see. But you know what? This is easy to fix.

With a little glue, it'll be as good as new.

Apologize to Naisha tomorrow. Then everything will be OK.

Hey...

Everything will be OK. For sure.

Julie? Bedtime!

Julie?

Honey, I talked to your teacher.

You don't have to introduce the play if you don't want to.

Do you think I can become a policewoman?

-Maybe. -Even if I'm not brave?

-You're brave! -Maybe I will be when I grow up.

Definitely.

-Naisha would be a good policewomen. -Think so?

Yes, she's so brave. She always says what she means.

Really?

What's that?

A friendship locket. I got it from Naisha.

It means that we're best friends forever.

Do you think Naisha and I will become friends again?

Try to get some sleep.

Good night.

-It will come as a shock. -I know.

-How long have you known? -A week.

-And said nothing? -The Immigration Directorate called.

-What could I say? -You have to tell Julie!

-Can't it be delayed? -No. Their application was rejected.

Naisha and her mother have to leave the country tomorrow.

But she's her best friend.

She's never had a friend like that.

Her best friend!

Go talk to her. Now.

Julie?

Julie!

Naisha?

Julie!

Where is she, dad? Where is Naisha?

I don't know, Julie.

I don't know.

It looks like they've left.

Night walks grand, yet silent Now hear its gentle wings...

Nice.

I'm sure many of you are wondering -

- why Naisha isn't here today.

And we desperately wish we knew more.

All we know...

The authorities decided that she couldn't stay in Norway.

And Naisha and her mother have gone missing.

If anyone wants to talk more about this, let me know.

-Yes? -She might be back tomorrow.

-Maybe. -She might.

Idiot! Don't you realize she'll never be back?

Cocoa?

Careful. Warm.

-Naisha said you were a cannibal. -A cannibal?

She says you ate your family before coming to Norway.

No. Although I wish I had. I wish I had.

I should have. Because then they would be here with me.

You are Julie?

I have something for you. Wait, I'll show you.

Naisha said this was for her friend.

-Do you know where Naisha is? -No, I don't.

They are hiding from the police.

They don't want to be sent out of the country. No one does.

"Had to hide. I'm doing fine."

"Best friends forever. Rafiki. Naisha."

FATIMA T�YENGATA 26, OSLO

What's that, Julie?

Nothing.

Let me see.

Julie...

If it says where they are, you have to show me.

-But it's a secret! -They are here illegally, honey.

If you know where they are, you have to tell me.

If you don't tell me...

You're breaking the law.

We don't have a choice, Julie.

Hey...

Yes. T�yengata 26.

Fine. Yes, we have an expulsion notice.

So the Oslo Police will take charge now?

OK. Tomorrow morning.

Goodbye.

-You can go in, Mette. -Hi.

This is super! Now we can write to her!

-I've done something terrible. -What?

I showed the note to dad. He called the police in Oslo.

-They'll get kicked out! -I know.

We have to call and warn them.

The number you have dialed is not in use.

Imagine, Naisha is there now.

-We can get there before the police! -We can't. They're in Oslo.

We'll run away on the night train!

-1:15 a.m. Meet me there at 1:00. -I'm not allowed.

We aren't going to tell anyone!

But dad will...

Do you want to rescue Naisha, or not?

Are you still awake?

Hey...

Are you still thinking about Naisha?

You'll get new friends in no time.

Try to get some sleep. We can talk tomorrow.

-Let's go! -Are we really doing it?

Hurry!

It's already 1:05!

We'll never make it!

Super!

Come on!

In here!

Rafiki.

Rafiki.

Julie?

Don't answer! They'll just want us to come home.

Wait at the train station. I'm coming. -Dad

Turn off the sound.

Come on!

I talked to Olav in Oslo. We'll find her.

-OK? -Call me as often as you can.

26!

The police!

-Which one? -"Fatima". Hurry!

Hello?

-Hello? Is Naisha there? -No Naisha.

-Naisha! -Julie and Mette! Open the door!

It's too dangerous.

Naisha, are you there?

Open the door!

Naisha!

-Up there! -The police are coming!

Open up! Police!

Open the door!

-What do you want? -We're looking for Salome.

You understand that you can't stay with us, right?

-But, mom! -Not now, Naisha!

Come on!

Naisha!

OK...

You wait here. I'll find some place where we can stay, OK?

Sorry I broke your Santa Lucia crown.

It's OK. Don't worry about that.

I wish you could stay, Naisha.

So do I. But I can't.

At least you're still here, -

- even though Julie showed your note to her dad.

You showed it to your dad?!

Oops!

You gave him our address?

That was the only safe place for us. I thought you were my friend.

Naisha...

-You have ruined everything, Julie! -Naisha.

It isn't my fault that you're here illegally.

-Go to your father! -Naisha!

-I said go! -Naisha!

Julie, wait!

It wasn�t her fault. She couldn't help it.

What's wrong?

Can't you find her? Please?

She was heading for the train station.

Stay here. I'll go get her.

Hi, Olav. Hello. Here are Naisha and Salome.

We think Julie is with them. Here is a picture of my Julie.

Julie!

Julie!

Julie, Naisha is very sad about what happened.

OK? Come on.

Julie!

Come here!

Dad, don't let them...!

-No! -Naisha!

There, there, honey.

No!

Julie!

A policeman!

You have one new message:

Julie? It's your mom.

We love you so much, Julie.

I know this is terribly hard for you.

But you can't fix this on your own.

You have to understand that.

Please call your dad.

Hi there. Hi.

-Can I help you? -No one can help me.

What? That doesn't sound good.

There.

Is that better?

I might as well ask you what I ask all the children:

-What do you want for Christmas? -Nothing.

-Everyone wants something. -I don't.

You're thinking about something.

They're going to get kicked out of the country because of me.

All I wanted, was that they could stay.

Then you do have a wish! You want someone to stay?

Yes. I want my friend to be allowed to stay in Norway.

That's a great wish!

That's a real wish.

That's a golden wish. A golden wish!

You have to make that one come true yourself.

-That's impossible! -Not with wishes like that.

The best wishes are like that.

If you say they're impossible, they will be.

But if you, no matter what, -

- say you'll do everything you can to make it come true, -

- then you'll see!

Then... Just maybe...

I'd better get back to work.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks.

Seriously, what can I do?

Seriously? Maybe talk to the people who make the decisions?

You haven't done your job, that's what I mean.

-I have done my job! -You've gotten no response! Think!

Should we go look for them?

Come on.

-Julie! -Julie!

I didn't mean what I said, Julie.

I'm sorry.

They took your mother.

The police.

They took Salome.

No!

-We're going to fix this. -Everything will be all right.

We're going to fix this. I have a plan.

What?

I found the book!

-That's the Parliament. -We've learned about that.

That's where the politicians work.

-Is that where we're going? -It's closed now. Tomorrow.

Cool!

-But where are we going to sleep? -The library is closing now. Bye.

Supper.

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...

Twenty!

Ready or not, here I come!

Boo!

That wasn't funny!

I'll get you!

-Are you thinking about tomorrow? -Yes. And about my mom.

-About what? -When I was younger.

There was so much shooting. I was scared.

I was scared the soldiers would take mom too.

When I couldn't sleep, she would come and stroke my hair.

Like this?

Do you remember much from back then?

-Yes, quite a bit. -Was there a lot of shooting?

No.

Mostly it was nice. But not when they took dad.

Where is he now? In jail?

We think he is dead. We don't know for sure, but I think he is.

I'm used to it now. I was pretty young.

-I'm glad you're here now. -Me too.

Rafiki.

Rafiki. Best friends forever.

-Any news? -No, we're still searching.

How could you let them take Salome like that?

Julie must have been horrified.

We sent out a bulletin. It will be in the papers tomorrow.

-Where are you going? -To talk to the decision-makers.

-Do you have an appointment? -Do we need one?

Yes, you do.

Can't you just let us in?

Come on, choir, this is the Parliament!

This is where we are singing.

-Weren't you here before? -Yes, but we're in the choir.

-Really? -Yes!

OK. Go on in.

2 GIRLS MISSING

When did you join the choir?

We joined...

-Last week. -I doubt it!

We're actually only here today.

What choir are you in?

-The sing... -Sing and be merry...

Girls!

-I've never heard of them. -Attention, please!

Pay attention.

Ready?

Are you sure it was them?

Without a doubt.

No, they can't get out without me seeing them.

I'll go find them.

Night walks with a heavy step

Round yard and heath

As the sun departs from earth

Shadows are brooding

There in our dark house

Walking with lit candles

Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia

There in our dark...

Where are you going?

-We have to pee! -You can�t just...

After the next speaker, we will listen to a school choir -

- before continuing the debate.

-We have something to say. -Let go of me!

-Let go, you jerk! -I can walk myself!

I have something to say.

Something unusual is taking place here.

A young girl has taken the podium at the Parliament.

Arild, what is happening in there?

Right now things are slightly chaotic.

Holy cow, it's Julie! Look at this!

She says she has something to say.

We don't know what she plans to say. I'll come back to that later.

We don't have time for this. Seriously!

This may not be according to protocol, but...

Go ahead.

Honestly...

Order!

She'll never do it!

Some children have interrupted a session of the Parliament.

Apparently some nine-year-old girl has something to say.

It...

Can someone please remove that girl?

What did you want to say, my friend?

It...

It...

For Christ's sake!

She can't even speak!

Sorry.

Apparently she didn't have anything to say after all.

I told you so!

Many people...

Many people don't dare say what they really mean.

They think everyone else knows what is right.

I just wanted to say that it's wrong that Naisha can't stay in Norway.

It isn't her fault that her dad died and they became refugees.

Her mother just wanted them to stay in Norway.

She goes to school here. She belongs here.

We have been friends since before she started school.

Please let Naisha stay!

Naisha gave me this. It means we are friends forever.

But now she's being kicked out.

And I may never see Naisha again.

You're the decision-makers.

Please let our best friend Naisha stay!

Order!

Order!

Abrahamsen, as Integration Minister, would you like to comment?

Seriously?

We don't comment on specific cases.

We aren't going to let some girl overturn a formal expulsion order.

Boo!

Abrahamsen, the least you can do is give the girl a chance.

-How inflexible can you be? -Use your head, Abrahamsen.

Abrahamsen, what will happen in this case now?

Nothing at all.

Doesn't what this girl said change anything?

-No. -There's nothing you can do?

-What about human considerations? -We have taken consideration.

I'm so proud of you!

You sure were tough!

Give the girls some room, please!

Mom!

Can't you do something, dad? Please stop them!

There's nothing I can do, Julie. It isn't up to me.

In spite of the girls' fight to have the ruling overturned, -

- it now appears to be final.

The three girls must say their final goodbyes.

Naisha!

-Rafiki. -Rafiki.

-Best friends forever. -Best friends forever.

Why couldn't we get her to stay?

You did more than anyone could expect.

She could have just stayed. It's not fair!

The world isn't always fair. We can't fix everything.

But you'll still be friends forever.

Ready? On air in one minute.

The so-called Naisha Case has started a heated debate...

The so-called Naisha Case has started a heated debate.

Integration Minister Abrahamsen is here.

You have been strongly criticized.

Where do you now stand on the Naisha Case?

We do not normally revisit specific cases.

But in this case we have had no choice...

Due to Julie's appeal and the massive criticism of you?

-We will revisit her case. -So Naisha can stay?

-We will revisit her case. -Thank you for joining us.

Welcome to...

It's Naisha!

Welcome to our Christmas play!

-Naisha! -Naisha!
