Oskar?

- Hi, Dad. - Hello, honey.

- Hi, Mom. You look good. - No.

- Are you leaving already? - Yes, I will.

Am I a little overdressed?

Oskar, come and say goodbye to your mother.

See you, my dear. Can you really enjoy yourself?

Not too much screen. See you, honey.

- You are beautiful! - No.

Who is the fastest? A: fireman Henrik or B: coastal lifeguard Brian?

Henrik has 30 years of experience as a firefighter...

- They're both pretty cool. - Yes.

But he swims in the water. He lives by the beach.

Yes, but firefighters, they can do something too. They are good at climbing up and down.

What are you doing?

Do you want more?

Who do you agree with? The lifeguard or the firefighter?

- "To liven up." - What?

- "Widget." - But what?

- But what? - "Weaver."

You have to choose one. Spit them out. Addr.

Out.

No. Adr!

Far?

Wake up.

Dad? Wake up, Dad.

Dad? Wake up.

Far? Far!

Now, Youssef... Then it's goodbye to the mainland.

- Can we go out and get some air? - Yes, just go outside and get some air.

You just wait here.

How did it go? Did he get to say a proper goodbye?

Yes, he said goodbye, but it was something junk.

Come out and talk to Anne-Line.

Welcome to. You look a little worn out.

It's been a bit tough, maybe?

Yes.

We sneak up and have a chat with Stuart. And then we'll find out if we're a match.

If we think you're the man for it, and if you think it's something for you.

We'll get through, where Stuart and I live with our family.

There are six carriages, and there are currently five boys.

And you could have the last carriage, if we can agree on that.

- It's the yurt. - I'll just wait out here.

Take a seat. Stuart, it's Youssef.

- Welcome, Youssef. - Stuart is also a veteran.

- And that's why we created this place. - Let me tell you a little about myself.

I served as an officer. in the Australian Army for 20 years.

And I honestly didn't know either, What the hell was going on in my life.

It took ten years before I was declared ill. due to war trauma.

I can relate to it, How are you?

I don't know a damn thing about, who you are or what you have done.

Where were you stationed?

I was...

... four times: In Kosovo, Iraq and twice in Afghanistan.

Look at me.

I would like to make it clear, that I don't feel sorry for you.

This is not about to feel sorry for you.

This is about to get you back on your feet.

I know how it feels, when your family is afraid of you.

Will you tell us, What happened at home?

This is an opportunity for to recreate the life you deserve.

And that life, that your wife and son deserve.

But the only one, The one who can do it is you.

It won't be easy.

Would you like this?

Okay.

Goodbye, Youssef. It's your car.

It's like FAB in the old days.

The instructions for the composting toilet hanging out there.

Breakfast at 9 a.m., lunch at 1 pm, dinner at 7 pm.

Some questions, So you just say it, right?

Are you ready to get some food?

Hello, Youssef. Come in. Grab a chair, get some dinner.

Next man.

- Hello, Youssef. Welcome. Felix. - No.

- Be well. - No.

Pass me your plate. I hope it tastes good.

- Have you made any effort? - You'll find out.

- You've done very well. - It tastes really good.

Good. I've made an effort too.

Invalid number. Please check the number and...

Invalid number. Please check the number and try again.

Invalid number. Please check the number and try again.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Are you ready for some thread? - Yes, we can.

- Ready, Knudsen? - Yes.

Yes, come on. One more time.

Strong.

Hey, can I borrow your phone for a moment?

I forgot mine over in the car. Just a quick call.

Have you blocked me? Why did you do that?

What are you thinking? That we shouldn't have any contact at all?

What about Oscar? Can't I talk to him either?

Am I going to be here for four months? without calling you at all?

Lark, wait a minute. Lark!

How has it been? to be here until then?

That's fine.

I am curious to hear, why you are here.

What bothers you in your everyday life? What is difficult?

Should we sit and talk or what?

I thought, that we can get to know each other -

- so I can hear why you're here.

Maybe you've tried all sorts of things before, maybe not.

But I want to teach you something new -

- which will have an impact on your way to be with your family on -

- when thoughts come.

You know, What could I possibly want?

That you kept your mouth shut. I'd like that. That you kept your mouth shut.

Can you do it?

So you want silence?

Instead of talking Can we do an exercise together?

Do you feel like it?

- Yes, let's do an exercise. - Okay.

Try to tense all your muscles. in the body at the same time.

Shoulders up as much as we can.

The face, the legs... Tighten, all you can.

Brace your shoulders, the arms, the stomach, the hands...

Buckle up, buckle up!

Tighten and release!

I can see you didn't let go.

Okay.

There is fresh coffee.

Good morning. Do you drink coffee?

- I do. - Sorry, I'm late.

I was just about to finish feeding the animals. Good to see you.

- So the feeding is finished? - It's under control.

- Coffee? - How was your night?

Not fucking good. I just had to go out and take a walk.

But it's pitch dark.

I think I've got it all together. Three hours. Both sweats and nightmares.

Youssef, how was your night?

- So nice. - Good to hear. Knudsen?

I had a good night. For once. Seven hours.

Happy days.

Today's project: We are going to cut down a tree. It's all men.

Knudsen, you are a chainsaw man.

Youssef, Take the rope here and go in that direction.

I'll probably direct you so you're far enough away. Then you pull the tree down.

You certainly can.

Further out in that direction. A little longer.

Security must be in order.

It's fine there, Youssef.

Yes, fine.

Then you just pull that tree down.

- Do you need help? - Come on, buddy.

Youssef, you need to get the front right.

You have no traction. with his back to the tree.

Shouldn't we come and help you, friend?

- Shouldn't we give a hand? - Youssef, this is your calling.

Just tell me.

- Should we help? - Yes.

- Good, we're coming now. - So come on!

- Come on, boys. - I need help.

- Now we are here. - I'm going to...

Come on.

Good. Are you ready? Are you all okay?

Yes, thank you, man!

Shut up, that was good.

Really fucking well done.

Good job, Youssef. Welcome to.

Good job, boys.

Good work.

Very well done.

- What did you do before you came down here? - I work...

I worked in a security guard position, where They drove around to different posts.

Are you settling in?

Yes, I think...

I don't know.

Something that occurred to me was...

I had looked down on others a lot, when they went down.

Where you have built a facade yourself, and then you go down yourself...

I don't know. How many people have tried it?

- but I've been in and out of psych -

- and have tried all possible medical treatment.

It was only when I landed here...

...that I feel, there is a way out on the other side.

Aren't you Youssef?

What?

My kite is stuck up in the tree. I was just wondering if you could help?

By getting it down.

If you would like...?

I think you can just touch it. I just can't reach.

Thanks for the help.

Well, my name is Indee.

See you.

- Hey. - Hey, friend.

- They are digging. - Yes.

I just need to get this hole cleared.

- What's the point? - To dig until you're done.

So I get to use my energy. This gives me peace of mind.

- Should I take over a little? - Yes.

Not.

I don't think so soon, it must be deeper.

- Is it getting there? - You come down where it's hard.

Then it's not fun anymore.

- Should I fill it up again? - No, it's not very good?

It's nice to be able to enjoy your hole a little. Then we can cover it for tomorrow.

- We can certainly say that. - We're just going to enjoy it.

- Is there anyone who wants to help with the sheep? - You have to cross your legs.

- Are you taking a piss on me? - No, no, you can.

That's true enough. And then keep under the garden.

- Then you move forward slowly. - It likes you.

Now you have it under control. You can feel it.

- Correct sheep management. - So we'll turn around a bit here.

- If you just hold it. - Yes.

Now I'll take over.

- Should I move? - I do.

Keep your legs straight. Keep your legs here. The hind legs and the forelegs.

Hold on tight, because cramps may occur.

- You can just let go. - Are we getting there?

It'll just take a moment. to disconnect.

Get back to work here. Tag fat i benet her.

We need to hang it up. Get a good grip.

Is it there?

Like that, you can just let go. Just slip.

Youssef, are you okay?

Youssef? Youssef?

Youssef? Hey...

- Youssef? Youssef? - Sorry.

Breathe. Yes, breathe.

Breathe, Youssef.

Calm, calm...

Just take this off, so you can cool down a little.

Remember to breathe. Remember to breathe.

You just disappeared for a moment.

- Did you go back to another place? - What?

What happened?

Flashback. It's not dangerous.

Breathe.

No danger.

That's good.

Try to stand up. I'll give you a hand. Ready?

Yes. Okay. Breathe.

When I was in Afghanistan, we got Christmas gifts. We got a thermos cup like this.

It was apparently from the Ministry of Defense.

- A thermos? - No, it was from the trade union.

- We got some gold pens. - Well, yes, gold ballpoint pen.

Then you felt truly loved. "Thank you very much and Merry Christmas."

- Should I sign my resignation with it? - Yes, impressive that you remember me.

I have a red box at home with me. a ballpoint pen. I've never used it.

I think you're the only one I know, who still has that pen.

- Shut up, I've brought a lot of shit. - It looks good.

- I've put on my stiffest makeup. - I couldn't recognize you at all.

It's a little different.

How did you know you were ready?

I've just been able to feel that for a long time. For some time.

I've been going here for a long time. I'm going home to my girlfriend and daughter.

- Take this. Are you ready? - Yes.

- Are you ready? - I'm ready to say goodbye.

- Good luck. Take good care of yourself. - Thank you very much for everything.

It is much appreciated.

- So you need a hug. - Your girlfriend has my number.

- So if there's anything, she calls. - It'll probably work.

- It's going to be really good. - It's not a funeral, is it?

It has been a pleasure.

- See you soon. I'm ready. - See you, Felix.

- Take care of yourself. - Bleach.

Welcome. Are you okay, Alex? Welcome, Youssef.

Not.

You've probably seen the others in the area.

- This is my son, Aiden. - Hello. Youssef.

- And Aida. - Hello. Youssef.

- And Indee. - You can sit here if you want.

Finally sit down.

You look like a German tourist. in those sandals, Youssef.

Well, my shoes were wet, so I borrowed Henrik's...

I'm just teasing you. Sit down.

- What do you have with you? - Well, that's for you.

- Is it for me? - Yes.

- Can I open it now? - Yes, of course.

- Is that a dragon? - Yes.

This one doesn't go in that easily.

Did you make it? Thank you.

Thank you.

You live in the gray van, right?

Yes, it is gray.

I helped paint it. There is a giant eagle under the paint.

- When I was younger. - Okay.

- Then I say thank you. - It was so little.

- So you like animals? - Yes.

I liked being a veterinarian. for wild animals.

Oskar, my son, would. He also wanted to be a veterinarian.

When he was smaller. I don't know now.

Is he coming down here?

I don't know.

We're going to have grilled lamb.

You actually have it yourself helped feed them.

Indeed, you are the youngest, so you can start.

Let me know if he comes by.

- Then I can say hello. - It's a deal.

I still feel your hands in mine, even though you left

I still feel your eyes locked in my moment

And even when you wake up in the morning and don't know where you are...

...then I still think, you know, that I will always be right here...

Pumpkin and Pie, come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Are you coming?

Or are you afraid of the water? You are going in.

- Did you make it yourself? - Yes.

Do you like it?

- What do you think? - It's good.

Not.

- Do you crochet? - No, I don't.

- You don't knit either? - No.

What about your son? Does he crochet?

No, he's drawing.

Do you miss him?

All the time.

Do you think he misses you?

I don't know.

He does.

- That's difficult. Is it corn? - No.

- Is that...? - That's kind of sweet.

- Cinnamon? - No.

A clue?

- It's something you like. - Yes.

- Peas? - No, it's sweet.

- Peas are also sweet. - Time is passing, Oscar.

- No, help me now. - It's a kind of cake.

Hey, bass.

- Cookie? - Yes!

Hello.

Yes. I can hear you.

Sorry I'm calling so late. And thank you for...

Thank you for wanting to talk.

Eat.

That was good.

- Youssef? - And?

- Meet our new man, Thomas. - Yes.

I thought you could show him around.

- See you later, okay? - Because.

Are you okay with that, Thomas? Good. See you later.

Yes.

- Shut up now. - Come here.

I didn't see that coming.

You don't want to be known by me, do you?

You know me. I like to fly. under the radar. People shouldn't talk.

- Aces, damn it. - That's how I am. You know that.

What are you doing here?

I am waiting for a response to a compensation claim.

The boyfriend would like to Get me out of the cabin and...

They don't mean, that I have been in enough danger.

So now I'm just waiting for an answer.

I hope it goes through. I'm totally screwed.

I just can't work anymore.

To lead, that it's stress from desk work.

Assholes. So I'm waiting for that now.

What about you? Lark and Oskar?

It was a bit of a mess at home.

But things are going better now. We're back in touch. It's okay.

- Good to hear. - Yes.

But this... Isn't that a bit of hippie nonsense?

It's totally hippie. 100%.

I wrote: "I am healthy, 36 years old and live on Strynø."

Fresh guy?

- Healthy guy? - At 21? So...

What the hell is wrong with that? I am healthy.

- I'm not getting married tomorrow. - What are you, Henrik?

- So everyone is on Tinder except you? - No, I'm not in either.

- Those are the two boys over there. - You can create a profile together.

The Eiffel Tower.

- What kind of website is this? - Shut up, man.

Can't you just turn it off? Aces, we don't see war anymore.

- Don't you watch the news? - No, not here.

- I'm not following at all. - We have a rule about that here.

Fair.

No. Okay.

The boys just want to have some peace and quiet.

I could understand, that you have experienced something.

Well, the slaughter? Yes.

Yes, that...

Maybe I was just fresh enough there.

Is that something you want to talk about?

The...

In Helmand, we were always told, that we should...

... store our snacks. They are good for to hand out to children and things like that.

One day on patrol, a group of children came.

So we stopped and had a little fun. Tossed candy out to them.

Then they would grab it...

Then I made eye contact with...

There was a little boy.

He was in a way more...

... fragile. They are all fragile.

He was standing at the back. and hadn't gotten any candy.

He had big brown eyes.

And perfectly white teeth. I remember that.

Then I made eye contact with him. and said, "It's for you."

"Pull yourself together."

And then I threw it away. far above them all.

They all laughed. He ran after it.

I can clearly remember those laughs that...

...was there right up until the bang.

He stepped on a landmine.

And when the dust had settled, I could see that his body was intact.

He was lying with his head down in the water.

So instinctively I run out to him.

I can't explain why, but I was sure he was okay.

And then I turn him around -

- then his whole face is gone.

His eyes... It was all gone.

It must have been a really tough experience.

I couldn't really feel anything.

A few months later, when I got home...

...then I noticed...

... that I was extremely angry with Oskar.

On my son.

And he hadn't done anything. He is the nicest...

He is the nicest little boy. Very sensitive.

And I was just furious with him.

I don't know why. I didn't show it. I kept it...

I can feel it, that behind that anger and rage -

- there is immense sadness.

Is there a place in the body, Can you feel it right now?

- And... - Right there?

How does it feel? Does it tighten?

Yes.

That's a big deal, Youssef. You can feel it. There's room for it.

It's okay.

You don't need to do anything about it.

And you are not alone. Right now.

One, two, three...

You can just stop there.

- Hello. - Hello.

You look different.

Well, yes, but I didn't have anything with me.

And there isn't a single clothing store on the island. We have a currency exchange center at the grocery store.

Sorry. An exchange center?

- Yes. - That's not what I meant.

He's a little nervous. He has been very happy.

- Okay. - Yes. It'll be fine.

- Should I do something? - No. Are you ready?

Yes.

Honey, just take off your seatbelt.

Dad was overjoyed. You've been looking forward to it too. Just say hello.

Come on, honey.

Hello, Osbob.

Do you want to give dad a hug?

- That's so nice, honey. - That's fine.

Would you like to come up and see where I live?

There are animals. Horses, sheep and pigs.

Yes, we would like that, wouldn't we?

- Do you live here? - Yes, I do.

Here is everything you need.

It's very nice here.

- It's me. - Yes.

- Do you remember that day? - No. When was that?

You've been there for six years. You ate three ice creams that day.

- There are many. - Yes.

Where is her main house?

Do you want to go up there now?

- What the hell? Aces? - Lark.

- Hello. - Beautiful chick, man.

- How nice to see you. - In the same way. Youssef said you were here.

- It's Oscar. - Hello.

- Aces. Do you know who I am? - No.

Your father and I have known each other for 20 years.

- Shall we go up to...? - We're going to talk to Anne-Line.

- Come on, honey. It was nice to see you. - In the same way, Lärke.

I'll go straight up and talk to Anne-Line. Are you okay?

- Good. - Yes.

- Hello. - Hi, Anne-Line.

Anne-Line owns the place.

Her and her husband. They are the ones who decide here.

- Mother? - Coming soon.

She will be here in a little while.

Are you doing well at home?

- And at school and with friends? - Yes.

- What about football? - I've stopped doing that.

Now. Why?

Because Sebastian also stopped.

Now. That's no reason to stop.

What else do you do? Is there anything else you like?

I play GTA.

Well, it's a car game, right?

No. You have to have money.

And then... I have someone who makes fake money, and then you sell it to others.

And a friend of mine has an acid lab, where cocaine is sold.

Yes.

- He sells it to motorcycle clubs. - Indee?

- Hello. - Hi. Come over here.

- Indeed, it's Oskar. - Hello.

- What are you doing? - Well...

Oskar tells me about a game.

- His mother is inside talking to your mother. - Yes.

Do you want to come down to the harbor?

- Shall we? - Good idea.

It's cool, isn't it? It's like driving a tank.

- Where are we going? - I'm just going sailing.

- We're sailing around the island. - Okay.

We're just driving Indee down there. Then you can also see the harbor properly.

- Have you tried fishing? - A few times, yes.

- What about you? - Once.

- Did you catch anything? - Yes, such a mini fish.

It almost couldn't be on a rye bread.

I threw it out again.

- Should we sit here? - Yes.

It is very windy.

It's just before a tsunami hits.

- En tsunami? - Yes.

Yes.

I remember, when you had just been born -

- then I was going to Afghanistan.

It is desert and hot. But it can be really windy there.

There were some sandstorms like that, where you couldn't see at all.

I thought a lot about you and your mother. What were you doing?

If you had hiccups. She told me that.

Or if you were sleeping, whether you kept her awake at night.

Or if you had made a huge shit in the diaper.

Oh, look, there are pigs.

- Why do they eat soil? - They eat everything.

That's Pumpkin, and that's Pie.

No, he needs a brace. He is ugly.

They are very cute. It's actually two girls.

Throw it in the mud puddle and see, whether they want to eat it.

She would like that.

- Do they care that it's dirty? - Absolutely. Look, it's got it in its mouth.

I would like to try too. Here.

This means that we must employ the nurses who have resigned themselves.

But at double the salary.

They have thought, that I was also on my way away -

- so they have chosen to give me more responsibility.

You are so talented. Congratulations.

I also make more money.

Tax? Can't you turn that off?

Come here and sit down. Don't you want more to eat?

I'm not hungry.

- Tell Dad what you're doing. - And...

- My birthday is coming up soon. - Yes, you have. It's round.

- 40 years old. - 10 years.

- I don't get it. - Round birthday.

- We're going to have a big party. - Are you going to?

- Okay. - We do.

- Who's coming? - Grandma.

Uncle Tolga and Aunt Elham.

- And... Victor. - Yes.

- Who else? - Your cousins.

Except Isa. She is at a gymnastics demonstration.

It is still... It's a huge party.

Aren't you coming, Dad?

- Dad needs to be here for a while. - Honestly. I'm turning 10.

But dad has to be here. And it's great to be here.

Come on.

Yes, I'm here for a while now...

- We're just talking about it. - Yes.

- Good night. - Good night.

Turn off the light.

Dad, wait a minute.

Do you remember that time? Did you sing me a lullaby?

- It was mom. - Yes, once in a while you did.

- It's just because you don't want to sleep. - No, I mean it.

- What do you want? - The lark's nest.

I know a lark's nest, I won't say any more.

It is found on a heath, a place that no one sees.

There are babies in the nest...

You are a little bandit.

Now you go to sleep. Okay? Otherwise I'll get in trouble with your mother.

- You just sang? - No, he...

I've never heard you sing before.

- He just didn't want to sleep, right? - Sit down. I have something to tell you.

Anne-Line says, What a fucking cool guy you are.

You talk to pigs and pick pears, and I don't know what.

You are simply became a new person in no time.

If you fuck it up in there...

I'm so sorry about all of this. I have exposed you.

I feel better now.

And I just want to go home.

To you. And to Oskar.

And be there for you.

You should go home and sleep.

Yes.

I've been thinking about that too.

I'm going home to my junkyard.

Absolutely.

Not?

So what? Today's man in the spotlight!

- Did it go well? - Yes.

Shut up... It's great that it went well.

I have started a group to chat with the old boys.

- CL and Rosenkilde are there. - Okay.

It's nice to talk. about the old stories.

- I invited you too. - Have you told them I'm here?

Yes, of course.

- It doesn't matter. - No, no.

We're all dragging around on something or other.

Yeah. I just don't think I'm going to...

Boys! Give me a hand!

But say hello to them from me.

Can't you do it?

Lego Ninjago. Does he like that kind of thing?

He liked Lego before. But he also liked football.

- We'll take this kind. - Okay.

- That one is pretty fat. Isn't it? - Yeah. Try pressing it.

- Couldn't it be something else? - Yeah, those weapons are cool.

It's pretty cool.

- Should we take it? - Yes, we'll take that.

It is good.

Okay.

My daughter loves rainbow colors.

When we walk together, she says: "Dad, do you know what my favorite color is?"

"It's rainbow colors." "We're going to try to find a rainbow."

"Yes, we will. Where is it?" "I don't know. We just have to go."

It's so good that I have you.

It's good that you've come.

I was standing on a bridge at one point. and looked out over...

I actually took the step up.

I remember, that I grabbed the railing up there.

And I just wondered if that was it.

But something did, that I didn't do it.

What scares me is the day... I have no control over it.

And choose to do it... And it affects other people.

Breathe.

Breathe.

How is the contact between the feet? and where we stand?

How is our breathing?

Open your eyes and look at the raisin with all your curiosity.

That rosy one, as if it's the first time ever.

Can you smell it?

And you are welcome to put the raisin in your mouth.

Close your eyes and zoom your attention into the mouth.

Can you taste it?

Is there saliva?

Let's get closer.

So what?

What happened?

It didn't work out.

- Have you been rejected? - What the hell did I expect?

Of course I was rejected.

Assholes, man.

What should I say to Marie?

- I've been nagging her for years. - You're making something up.

We always do that.

I have nothing to bring home.

Now you have a few months here.

You'll think about things a bit, and then something pops up.

I'm going to Oskar's birthday...

Home.

It wasn't in the cards. a couple of months ago.

The only thing we have, That's what we have together.

Are you missing some coffee down here?

- Can I have a beer? - No, you can have some more coffee.

Youssef!

- Then you could be here. - Hello, honey.

Hi, Sorry I'm a little late. There was a bit of a delay with the train.

- How beautiful you are. - No.

Hi, Sos.

Youssef is currently on Strynø.

- Hello, my boy. - There are some good people down there.

And then he became good friends with a pig.

- It's called Pumpkin. - It's actually called Frank.

- Have you received any nice gifts? - I've got puzzles and markers.

I have something with me too. Please.

Wow.

- But I don't play Ninjago anymore. - We'll just replace it.

- It can be exchanged, right? - The one with the letter.

I'm holding it, Then you say thank you to Dad.

- Thank you, Dad. - Thank you.

One, two, three, now!

We'll take it over here and cut it out.

All kids, over to the children's table. Everyone gets a piece.

Save one for me.

Such.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I think so.

I just had to land. When you come straight home...

Now, cheers.

Roland, cheers.

- It's good to see you. - In a straight way.

- Are you having coffee? - Yes. Otherwise, thank you.

- Come on. - I actually don't drink anymore.

What? Is it a kindergarten colony, Are you done, or what?

You usually do well... Well, but then there's more to me.

What do we stand for with Ukraine?

Shouldn't we show Putin, Who decides?

We'll have to do something. We can't let Putin run the whole shit.

We have to stand together.

We were sitting on our flat when they took Crimea, now we're doing it again.

- Are we doing it? - We all do.

- I'm sitting and talking... - Doesn't it tingle in your finger...?

Hey!

It was something of...

- I'm sitting and talking to my sister. - Yes, yes.

Of course.

Oskar? Try to come.

We will then fly the flag, when it's your birthday.

Do you want to keep it? So you have to be careful.

It's the Dannebrog.

In the old days, it was like this: If you lost the flag, you lost the battle.

Do you remember that?

Take good care of it.

It's going to be really nice.

What's up, honey?

- Sorry. - Why do you say that?

I dropped the flag.

Well... It doesn't matter.

It was just a stupid story. Right? It's okay.

Tax?

No, Oskar, calm down.

- Mother! - Oskar. Have fun.

- Honey, it's okay. - Mom! Mom!

- Youssef! Go away. - Yes.

Go away! Has he done anything to you?

You mustn't go, mother.

Breathe. Breathe.

Is he still here?

Youssef? What's going on?

- Is something wrong? - What?

It just didn't go so well. That's fine.

- Youssef? - I'm just helping over there.

Now get a grip. Yes, now get a grip.

It was a bit of a crappy vacation, but... The kids didn't think much about it.

They were just playing in the pool. and rocked with the iPad.

And that... Yes, that was it for me, I think.

Thank you for sharing it. And then Felix showed up.

- Hello. How are you? - Yes, what about you?

What do you do to pass the time?

I'm having a good time. Spending a lot of time together with my daughter.

The first couple of weeks went well. There were no problems.

Then there was one stupid decision, that changed everything.

Would you like to elaborate on that a bit?

On Wednesday I was out with Mathias. and should have Thai food sometime.

Mathias gave a beer, then I gave one. Then we bought drinks.

When a few hours had passed, We had also ordered a bag and then...

It became night, and my girlfriend wrote all the time.

I was hooked, but denied it.

So we ended up going home. Mathias. I've been there for a couple of days.

I don't even know what day it is. I went to the kindergarten to pick it up.

The educators could see, that I was drunk.

So they asked me to leave. They threw me away.

It was Satan's.

That was really sad to hear. It was sad.

Yes.

There aren't many soldiers left. in these poor people.

Come on. One more.

Yes, damn it. Like that! Get out of there.

Good, champ.

Anything new from home?

Have you heard from Lärke?

The best.

I don't know either, what should I say to her.

I can't figure that out.

When I'm away...

They miss me, of course, and I misses them, but she's got it under control.

She greases lunch boxes, makes play dates and pays bills.

And then I come home...

And so it is, as if it's all falling apart.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

It is what it is.

- I've talked to OH. - OH?

I knew, that it might make you smile.

- How is he doing? - Has he ever had a good time?

I don't know, who put him together.

The boys are ready.

Ready for what?

I've found a private mission for us.

Shut up, man.

Africa.

Good money, honorable cause.

Are you serious?

I can see it in your eyes, that you would like to.

Oskar... He goes to school now, right?

Have you thought about what he says, when they ask what his father does?

Do you think he's telling you? that his father is running around on Strynø?

Or do you think he would tell, that his father is a real warrior -

- which has been taken away with his old group?

Aces, I'm not going anywhere.

So what do you need to do?

You can't run around here forever.

We'll leave with or without you.

Think about it.

Double six. Yay!

- Like this. Shut up, you're so good. - Of course.

Good, honey. That was hell. A slap in the face, what, Youssef?

Double six. Mega six.

- Can't you... - We're just filming.

Can't you...

We're just filming.

- Can't you... - We're just filming.

Good morning.

Hello.

Hello.

- What are you doing here? - You're not answering your phone.

- I'm getting really nervous. - I was thinking of calling back.

She has the best intentions.

And you, like many others, Just went home a little early.

It's okay. We tried.

- Is he okay? - Yes, Oskar is okay.

I think, He needs to talk to you.

Yes. I'll call him.

He is here. He is out for a walk with Indee.

It was close.

- Hello, Oscar. - Hi, Dad.

Now I don't want to anymore.

Indeed, Anne-Line would like your help. upstairs in the house.

I don't quite know what.

- See you. - See you.

- Was it fun? - Yes.

I am really happy, that you have arrived.

I miss you.

And I want to say to you, that I am sorry...

...that I came to scare you for your birthday.

And the other stupid things.

It wasn't intentional.

The...

It's okay.

Tender...

She says you're a little sick.

- It's good, we have her, huh? - Yes.

We've been lucky with her. Give her this.

She will be happy about that. Don't you think so?

You are the coolest boy in the world.

And I am very proud of you.

Do you know that?

Yes.

Come here.

When will we see each other again?

Soon. She's waiting for you there. Off with you.

You came with everything that was you.

and blew up every blocked road

and what a spring it was!

That year, when everything became strong and clear

and wild and full of thawing speed

and everything shouted: Live it!

I stormed out and bought beer.

Yes, winter's old, stiff foal went out into green meadows.

And you became warm and bright and full...

Shoot!

It's easiest to do nothing.

And tell yourself, that you don't have to take responsibility.

That's the easy choice.

We each have to find out, how we handle our situation.

One day at a time.

The rest of our lives.

You will hardly be the same man, You once were, Youssef.

Not even close to that man, you dreamed of being in this life.

And if you can accept that man, as you have become -

- then maybe you can start in time to be something for others.
