Can you pass the bread?

We're out of butter.

You can eat it without butter too.

Don't be afraid.

Fly now.

Hallo, cutie.

You are beautiful.

I love you.

- Are you going to the mainland today?
- No, not today.

Do you remember...
my friend Olavi Kalm?

I Forgot to mention that he called.
He's on his way here now.

He now lives in Paris and
wanted to escape the city.

He didn't know where,
so I invited him. OK?

He can go to the guest room.
We have enough space.

The coffee tastes really good.

At the same time...
the world has changed.

That's the way it is.
I had the same feeling on my return to Finland.

Come by our country house.

- Sounds scary.
- Whiskey and crab?

Maybe I'll come over.

Thanks so much.

Hey.

Hallo.

Pretty far from France to Finland.

- You could say so.
- But it's worth it!

- Definitely, of course.
- Good.

We'll go hunting and fishing.

And you will have forgotten
city life in no time Have?

Not much going on here at the moment,
but hardly any people live here.

We had summer guests...

...a lot of them this summer.

This is our fifth year
as permanent residents.

Service apartment.

Here we are.

Good boy, Usko.

The house needs constant maintenance.

Every time you fix one thing,
something else falls apart.

- Looks great though.
- Thanks.

We really like it here.

- Despite the work. We have it great here.
- Yes I can see that. Follow me.

Usko is already...

...half blind and almost deaf,
but a good watchdog.

For real?

- Are those cherry trees?
- No, these are plums.

Cherry trees are behind the house.

We grow most of our
food in our own garden.

Our neighbours supply milk and eggs.

We also fish and hunt.

Elli! Olavi is here!

- Nice weather.
- However.

Hallo. Olavi.

Hey.

- Hi.
- Warm welcome.

So we still welcome each other despite
Covid with a handshake or a hug.

Although, maybe not always immediately.

- Nice to see you again.
- Yes.

It must have been 15 years ago
that you last saw each other, right?

- Do you remember, Elli?
- May be.

- At least 15 years.
- It feels like an eternity.

You had just started studying.

- I hope you have a really nice time here.
- I hope so too.

But the house is in
need of a lot of work.

Master Kalm, come look at the view.

So you're writing your thesis?

- What about?
- It's about beauty.

Sounds interesting, and complex.

- Follow me.
- Yes, beautiful here.

So, do you have a partner?
Married?

Unfortunately not.
I Never managed to nail one down.

And do you prefer? Men or women?
Or does it matter?

Mainly women.

We should find you a Lockdown-lover.

- Lockdown-lover?
- Soon the Island will be full of beautiful people.

- Attractive people.
- I've got to know someone.

I met one on the ferry.

Her turn-on's were climate
change and magic mushrooms.

A really smart woman.
Aspiring doctor.

- That must have been Liina.
- Yes.

It was her, we waved.

So, doctors, Soldiers,
policemen and priests...

They're the keepers.
Especially doctors and priests.

Well, maybe not the priests.

Cheers.

I'll be right back.

We don't have much contact
with the outside world.

Sometimes I just forget
about the rest of the world.

But it's nice to have a quest.
Refreshing.

Is your father still alive?

No.

I've always enjoyed talking to him.

He often spoke of you after you left.

He was waiting for you to come back.

I intended to.

But then came Paris...

- Look what I found.
- Thank you.

Ignore the jacket,
take a look at these.

I had pimples back then.

Elli, is the guest room ready?

- Yes, everything is ready.
- Very good.

I'll be fine, thanks.

Good.
Well then good night.

- Goodnight.
- I See you in the morning.

I guess we should go to bed too.

I'll be right there.

Ok, see you then.

Do you still go fishing?

Not a lot of places to fish in Paris.

Or are you speaking metaphorically?

What, no hanky-panky?

You really haven't
changed a bit, you rascal...

There was one woman there...
But it was too complicated.

- Give me the soap.
- She was married.

Have you lost weight?

I don't know, maybe a little.

Have you gained weight?

Maybe a little bit.
Cold water makes you look thin, doesn't it?

So how was it,
with the married woman?

Great.

Weekend trips.

Stimulating dinners,
and other activities.

I hate those jet-ski's.
I should get my shotgun.

It was not always like this.
At first... Elli didn't want to commit herself.

She wanted to travel around
and continue studying.

But then she came back to me.
We got married and moved here.

I got a job offer
here on the islands.

It's a completely different
kind of life here.

Slowly and...

...beautiful.

In the middle of the national park.

That vinyl sound is unmistakable.

- So analogue and self-sufficient.
- There's no internet on the islands.

I can stream at work but here it's vinyl.

That's all we have at home.
Cooler Sound.

Listen! This sound works
always and everywhere. That is...

...a work of art, a real classic.

Come on, beautiful woman.

Dance, dance for me!

Dance, dance!
Shake your hips baby!

- Isn't it great?
- Yes.

The ferry stops once a day we're, on the
edge of civilization. But we keep on rockin'.

Next are The Beatles
with this masterpiece.

Okay...

Don't worry.
He'll definitely get bored soon.

See you later.

I love you!

Dammit!

I'm sorry.

- Am I disturbing your work?
- No you didn't.

How's your writing coming along?

Well... slowly.

I suppose that's normal.

- Do you still play the cello?
- Very rarely.

Do you want to go for a walk?

Mikko said you're writing your doctoral thesis.
What's it about?

About women.

I see.

About the women in the
films of François Truffaut.

You care so very much for women.

I am interested in both women and men.

For the complexity of their relationships.

Relationships in general.

And yet,
you are not in a relationship.

I was, until recently.

We wanted different things in life.

If love is the most important thing in life,
then what is it exactly?

Is leaving someone also love?

And is love somehow in
relation to your own self?

That you always remain
honest to yourself?

If you didn't love her,
there was no chance for happiness.

Maybe I'm looking for something better.

Look who's back.

Hallo!

God's greetings.

- And how are you?
- Very good. Elli showed me the Island.

- Did you get what we need from the store?
- Yes.

- Did you get everything?
- Yes, everything.

I ran into Liina.
I was to say hello to Olavi from her.

- Okay.
- I think she likes you.

- She invited us to her place.
- Yeah.

Do you want me to take you with me?

We'll walk, or I will.

- Start peeling the potatoes.
- Okay.

Actually I walk too, but you don't
have to do anything, I'm cooking today.

Good evening ladies and gentleman.
Are you ready?

We'll start the evening
with a potato-coriander...

...blue cheese puree,

First of its kind., so...
It is about...

...about the creations,
from the experimental kitchen.

- Thank you very much.
- You're very welcome.

A harmonious taste collage...

...with ingredients from the garden...

...of our hosts.

- Wonderful, Olvi. Very... French.
- No, Mikko.

No...

A very special Island cuisine.

Cheers!

Oh, now I forgot myself.

Please enjoy before it gets cold.

Yes.

I must say...

...the presentation was wonderful.

But I really hope...

...that the main course tastes
better than this blue cheese purée.

Yes.
This is fucking disgusting.

Absolutely awful.

Did you use up all our salt for that?

And way too much
garlic is in there too.

Let's eat and not complain.

Can it be that you all these years-

- you were not in France,
but spent time in a prison kitchen?

Maybe, but... eat up.

- No leftovers.
- Hey.

It's nice to have you here my friend.

Hope I'm still allowed to stay,
even after this meal.

You won't get away from us that easily!

You can pack your mits and leave.
Now Michael Jackson...

I could you perform a finger puppet show.

I will eat you up.

I will eat you up.

Good morning!

- Good morning.
- Mikko has already left.

- It's so wonderfully quiet here.
- Yes, isn't it.

Truly a godforsaken area.
Come on!

- How's your work going?
- So so...

Good.
Let's go watch Mikko work his magic.

If I speak with both people
and angelic tongues,

- but lack of love,

- then I'm just a echo of brons.
A shrill lance cymbal.

Love... is patient and kind.

Love is not the will to fight

- not boastful, and not inflated.

It finds no joy, in injustice-

- but rejoices with the truth.

Everything it bears,
everything it believes,

- it hopes everything,
it endures everything.

- Can you drop this by the house?
- Sure.

- Are you taking these with you? We walk.
- I'll do it.

I should be back the day after tomorrow.

- Bye.
- I'll put these in the car.

Well then, Elli, happy midsummer!

Liina would be good for you.

- You think?
- Absolutely.

What are you looking for?
A miracle?

An independent, strong woman.

I have one of those.
Go find your own.

So my dear friend...

...hold down the fort for me.
See you soon.

Death waits for no one.

Tell me Liina,
what was your field of specialty?

Psychiatry. I want to take care of
people that have metal problems.

There are so many of those these days.

Which are you Olavi?

- Deranged or self-destructive?
- Yes.

Self-destructive.

Now that Mikko's gone to the mainland,
you'll have to spend the weekend with me.

The guy with Liina...
Are they in an affair?

Liina's not that into him.

Because he's boring or...?

That's the worst kind.

Liina's waiting for someone
better to come along.

She's lucky.
She still has time to wait.

Love comes second
when choosing a partner.

There are many other things to consider.

Evolutionary biology at it's best.

- That sounds kind of sad.
- Yes, true.

Yes.
Backfires every time.

Ideally, you can find both.
Rationality and love in the same person.

And if the personalities
mismatch and the love is missing,

- how can two people then
coexist without suffering?

Then they just have to suffer.

Then we must suffer, yes.

Want some more?

We have our own freshwater spring.

Cheers.

To our forefathers and old flames.

Thanks.

Sleep well.

- Can I row too once?
- No.

Do you usually go fishing with Mikko?

No, I'd rather go alone.

Here we go.

Elli, are you happy?

I am.

I think so.

Sometimes I dream
that someone is coming-

- and take me away from here.

To a completely different place.
Just taking me.

But so far, no one has come.

I know I leave at any time,
if I wanted to.

But I've chosen to live here.

People fantasize about all sorts of things.

Especially of things that are,
not meant to become reality.

We are very much alike.

You are sincere.

I like that about you.

Are you happy with your life?

Are you really happy with your life?

Yes.

There are days,
where I feel lost-

- and I can't feel anything.

But you always have
the choice to be happy.

You just have to choose it.

May I come in?

You can.

Aren't you afraid?

Alone here,
with Mikko always gone?

Sometimes I even sleep upstairs
even when Mikko is at home.

Sometimes I need my alone time.

Am I too close to you now?

It's fine.

Your bedroom...

...is directly...

...under mine.

That's right, yes.

Does it...

...disturb you...

...when I...

...move around...

...upstairs?

Yes, I hear you...

...as long as I'm awake.

Hallo?

- Ready to go.
- Hi?

Anyone home?

Whoo!
Oh, hey.

- Did we catch you at a bad time?
- No.

- Come in.
- Is Olavi playing the man of the house here now?

No "man of the house" is needed here.

Mikko is on the mainland, at a funeral.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Here's to summer.
- Cheers.

To Whiskey and crayfish!

Hey, let me put on
some "Christian music".

I propose a toast!

To fire, light and the shadows-

- and to fearless love.

Hallelujah!

Not him, not him, not him.

I'm going to "Super Like" this nerd.

- Let's see who wins.
- The winner gets a bottle of whiskey.

Elli.

We would really like to go to the sauna.

Sure, no problem.

Thank you!
You're the best.

Aren't we moving too fast?

- Olavi.
- What?

I want to see him too!
Now don't be so uptight.

What are you saying,
I'm not uptight.

- Sure?
- You can't miss that.

I want to see what's under the clothes.

The sauna is ready.

- Where are the others?
- We are alone.

- Are you coming in?
- I'll come later.

- No, you're coming with me now.
- Come on now.

- I'll be right there.
- Come on now!

You realise they can hear
you screaming across the bay.

"I want to see your dick!"

- Elli, come have a drink.
- Live a little!

Let's dance!
Whiskey and dance!

Good morning.

How long have you been
out here chopping wood?

Since this morning.

Impressive.

- Everything all right?
- Yeah.

Was something bothering you last night?

No, I was tired and
wanted to go to bed early.

Nothing else?

You and Liina seemed
to enjoy yourselves.

We did.

But I was only thinking
of you the whole time.

I'll race you,
first one in the water!

You're just going to stand there?

Hi!

I got a ride back earlier then expected.

We can eat right away,
I brought a big fish.

People asked so many big questions.

So many important questions about life.

Questions lead to fear,

And this fear creates in us,

- the wish,

- to believe in something bigger,

- to something more permanent,
imperishable.

I've been worried about Mikko.

He always sacrifices himself
so selflessly for everyone.

To be honest, not that long ago,

- I was willing to give up my job.

I have... at my work...

...felt so insignificant and useless.

I felt, I unable to help anyone.

And how did it go this time?

Good.

I've learned about mourning.

After the initial shock, we have this.
People need time to reminisce.

We use all our energy and time to-

- to live in the past.

We do everything to
keep our memories alive.

We're looking for meaning and
of course also for consolation.

I never quite understood
how nostalgic we humans are.

Yes, you're right.

Your visit is a good example of this.

As soon as I saw you I came alive.

I felt the same way.

Apart from social media,
we hardly had any contact.

I mean, we hadn't seen
each for a whole 15 years.

15 years...

But as soon as I saw you...

...I remembered.

I felt young and alive again.
I Felt my existence.

I feel again, more human, stronger.

But what does that mean?

I don't know.

But it opened something,
and now I want more.

Amen!

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Good morning!
Did you sleep well?

- Not really.
- Why?

Too much light in the room.

- Do you want milk?
- No, thank you.

What are you up to today?
Let the party continue?

You know, Whiskey and crayfish?

I'll get back to my work.

I really have to continue writing.

Are you coming to church with me?

I don't feel like it today.

That's a shame.
You would definitely like my sermon.

Will you join me for a walk?

I really have continue
my urgent writing.

Okay.

Well then,

...I wish you success.

I thought something had happened to you.

- Were you looking for me?
- Yes.

Mikko left for the mainland.

And now you have to wait here for him.
Like a bitter straw widow.

Can't be easy.

What's is wrong with you?

I do not understand you.

That's probably the problem.

We don't really understand each other.

Often, when two people
are drawn to each other-

- they believe that they think alike.

That their thoughts
and ideas match-

- and everything is easy,
spontaneous and wonderful.

Then suddenly something happens...

...and they notice that
they were wrong all along.

Do you really believe that?

I speak of things that I've seen...
and heard.

What did you see and hear?

How you make love...

...and how much you enjoy it.

You don't know what I enjoy.

Or don't enjoy...
Or what I long for...

You love Mikko and
want to be happy with him.

You just went away...

...waited for you.

When I realised you weren't coming back-

- I decided to forget about you.

I studied...

...and traveled around.

I met many wonderful men.

I had...

...some pretty wild relationships.

All kinds of relationships.

I had one night stands,

- but also longer affairs.

Then came Mikko.

He loved me.

And we got married.

It felt right.

And then, after so many years,
you show up...

I waited a long time for you.

I love you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Want to take a trip?

I want you to touch me...

Put your fingers inside me...

Stick them deep inside me...

Deeper inside...
Harder...

No.

Not yet.

Go on...

Push deeper...

And tighter.
Harder...

Even faster.

Yes, exactly like that!

Even faster...

Let's go!

Hi!

Were you on a picnic?

- Yes.
- Nice.

If you had waited,
I would've come with you.

Today is our anniversary.

Or more like the first time
I visited Ellis' parents.

- Weren't you there too?
- Yes.

It's like an anniversary...

...so we must celebrate.

The weather is so nice,
we should fire up the grill.

Come outside for a toast.

Come out, I'll fix the drinks.

It's really nice,

- to be with someone-

- that you can fall
in love with every day.

It's rare to have someone
like that in your life.

The only sad thing is
we don't have children.

Any particular reason why?

Elli hasn't wanted any.

Do you remember my last girlfriend?

In high school?

It's really horrible.
She had an abortion.

Remember?

I still find it difficult talk about it.

I could be a father now...

I could have a child now...

At least...

...you have each other.

Elli!
I've missed you.

You're so wonderful.

Come closer.

So...

To us.
To our anniversary!

I'll go get more wood and light up the grill,
and put Barbie in heat.

That was a bad joke.

Fire up the grill...

Are you mad at me?

No.

I can't prevent Mikko
to get close to me.

You can...

...but you just don't want to.

Looks pretty good so far.

The grill is hot.
Soon we can eat.

Come here. Elli.

Liina can take me to
the mainland tomorrow.

- And from there to Helsinki.
- No way!

You can't leave yet.

Hey...
hey, hey, hey hey!

The grill is on fire.

The woods are full of bilberries.

When a man goes to pluck
berries and find a good spot,

- he is happy and plucks them empty.
liters of berries.

He goes home happy.

But when a woman finds a good spot...

...and sees a better spot,
she suddenly moves there.

She can't make up her mind,
and is constantly looking for a better bush.

And so it continues...

At the end of the day, that wasn't smarter.
There are an incredible number of berries left over.

What kind of bilberries have
you eaten in France? Hm?

Only cultivated blueberries.

Ah, ok.
Although they are larger but not that sweet.

How about a walk?
Or we go rowing?

- I'd rather stay here.
- And you? Or should we just go to bed?

Please leave me alone.

- Let's go to bed.
- I don't feel like it now.

Let's make ourselves comfortable,
cuddle and kiss!?

Do not touch me!

I'm suffocating!

I'm suffocating!
Leave me the fuck alone!

I'm sorry.

Yes, yes.

Forgive me.

I understand you...

Even if I don't want to.

I understand you...

Only those who are honest,
can feel really free.

How are you, my friend?

I'm leaving today.

Are you really sure you wanna leave?

Yes.

Please stay a little longer.

Maybe I come back again next summer.

Then let's hope that...

...the weather will be as good next year.

Forgive me...

Forgive you for what?

Remember our train ride
from Valencia to Barcelona?

Yes.

I do, until I passed out.

What about the...

...the trip to Riga?

Remember after the party at the university,
We walked all the way back to the hotel?

That morning was just heavenly beautiful.

The snow was like, the winters of my childhood,
the air was so fresh and clear.

These trips were so intense,
do you remember what?

Yes.

There will not be no any
more winters like this.

Not even snow.

We can't go skiing anymore.

I'm going to start hunting more often.

And travel.
As soon as it is possible again.

New places give us new memories,
in case we ever need to cling to them again.

If you don't give, you have nothing.
Not to give love, is just a failure.

To not be loved...

...is a misfortune.

I could shoot you now...

We should all go duck hunting together.

That would be funny, right?

That would be funny.

Come with me.

Do you feel that you
can be yourself with me?

Yes, but I am scared,
to speak openly with you.

I'm scared to be honest.

Why?

I'm afraid that you...

...would react too emotionally,
if I'm honest.

Are you afraid of me?

I'm scared, that you'll leave me.

I love you.

Just the way you are.

You can be free.

I just want you to be happy.

Sometimes...
I'm so fucking mad.

Sometimes very sad...

And sometimes empty...

...and feel nothing.

Fuck, I hate you so much!

But I'm also relieved.
Only good things can come out of this.

What ever you choose to do next...

...I accept it.

And I'm grateful that you've
shared your life with me.

I'm grateful, that you're honest.

I love you so much...

...that I only wish you to be happy.

With or without me...

Do you want to go fishing?

Yes.

Great.
