He looks
so fragile.

Dani.

elvis presley,

Pills as

Dani Bexar,
dead... dead.

As dead to the devil
as all satanic myths.

What have
you done?

I threw away all the old junk.

You threw away our memories.

Dad, where are you
going? Can I come with?

Can I come with?

Moment by moment...

Moment by moment.
Events and coincidences.

Moment by moment.

Moment by moment.

We grow moment by moment.

You have to remember
them in order to know yourself.

Dani.
- Riku.

Where was The Who's blind
wizard good? You know that.

I give the first letters.

P, i, n, b, b...

You don't concentrate. Before,
you only knew this and that.

Pinball Wizard, oh my god!
It was superior in pinball.

You're thinking of something
else, but you may not know what.

Maybe something forgotten,
that you can't remember?

Where does the
human story begin?

What about the story of people's
love, hate and speechlessness?

At first everything was
fine. It was a little paradise.

Come on, Riku.

Just stand there. Speed up!
- Run at full speed.

Now show dad.

Even run against the wind.

Help, Dani.
-Run!

Now let's run. Harder, harder.

Run, run.

It flies, it flies.

Great.

In the glow of these candles -

I am once again pleased to
wish my family and son-in-law -

very merry Christmas!

Cheers!

The rest of us in the family
are already getting too old -

and because one day my son-in-law will
take over the management of our company -

to continue the traditions
of the Gnejs family -

like his son after him -

I hereby wish to hand him this.
-Thank you.

Shouldn't it be kept here
in the House of Gnejs?

Let's put it on the screen.

Higher, a little more.

Higher, a little more.

As said, time flies.

Here I am your age.

This is a handsome logo.
I guess I shouldn't have given up on that.

But a new era...

Look.
Benita is always as sweet as ever.

My little ice princess.

Cigar? -Thank you.

Yes, I love Christmas.

After marrying your daughter,
my life has been one Christmas.

Do you remember who had a twin brother
whom he never knew?

By the King, Elvis Presley.

Father also liked Elvis.

Even though father was rushing into
the career pipeline at such a speed, -

that he learned to keep quiet about things.

Already had to Lovely time -

and Suvi sweet

Beautiful everywhere -

decorate the flower

He already gave his blessing

The warmth of the sun again

It gave up nature's newness

It calls to life

I have heard a bee dancing
on the edge of a cake of wax.

When it's full of nectar.

Water.
-When it's full of water.

And pollen and a touch of sun.
-And the monkey sniffs.

Clover.

And the clover smells.

Read now.

And the clover smells.

Read, my God.

And clover...

And the clover smells.

To the beehive, to their own,
whirring wise, beautiful ones...

I will go now.
-Come home at eight.

I have summer vacation.
- For eight!

Let's get Riku.

Oh my god, how embarrassing.
- I think you did well.

It's pointless, it's a pity.

How will I ever dare to come to school again?
- Come on, Marina.

Where did Dani go?
- Somewhere in the boys' Saab.

Riku...

I guess we should
work together more.

What would
we do?

You'll see
when I get back.

Where are
you going?

to
Copenhagen.

We are starting to import
electronics. Radios, record players, etc.

I'll make time for just the
two of us when I get back.

Then we'll be
together a lot more.

But it didn't
happen that way.

Successful people can
have everything. Except time.

Time becomes more and
more scarce - and when time

becomes scarce, there
will also be a shortage of joy.

And you relied on me
more and more, Riku.

We are playing those mind games

together our
psychological game.

Pushing the barriers,
planting seeds

We cut down border
fences, we sow seeds.

Chanting the Mantra
Peace on Earth

Our chanting mantra
Peace on earth.

We all been playing

those mind games forever

Blow the smoke away.
You can't smell here.

Projecting our
images in space and in

time We project our
own image into space.

Some call it magic,
the search for

the Grail It's called
magic, As a grail.

Huh?
- The grail.

Do you understand?

Love is the answer, and you

know that for sure Love, love.

What song, Riku?

John Lennon's Mind Games.

What is Detroit known for?
-The Motown Sound.

How many guitars did Jim have during his career?
-227.

Fantastic! You have taught the boy well.
- How does it know everything?

You need to pull
yourself together, Riku.

What about your testimony, Dani?

This is even better
than Marina's.

First you apply to graduate school, -

then you aim for
Hanken and join the army.

Then you should familiarize
yourself with Gnejsi's transactions.

Now let's go to sleep.

The boy is superior,
he can do anything.

Thank you.

Feet down.

Five of them. You buy a new car.

Can you hear the pop?
Maybe a rifle submachine gun.

Dad died in just one bullet.
In the middle of the forehead.

Imagine what it's like to die
alone in the cold and dark.

Hard times came for my mother.

There was little food,
and I was sent to Sweden.

I still remember
what did it feel like.

train, ship, seasickness
and nausea.

Other children in the dark.
We just stared at each other.

I didn't speak a word of Swedish,
nor was Finnish spoken in the village.

I lived on a farm and tried
to work hard to be liked -

but no matter how i tried
the village boys beat me.

I came to Turpi until I learned their
language. Then it got a little easier.

In the end I was quite popular.

What are you doing?

I won't let you
ruin your future -

just because you don't know
how to choose your company.

You will be under house
arrest for the next four weeks.

Where are you going?

You're not going anywhere.

Bexar...

Did that customer come?
I'll come right away.

Some call it magic,
the search for the Grail

Why do you fight
so much with dad?

How much does a room cost at King of the Road?
-50 cents.

What is Sid Barrett
doing in Cambridge?

Drinks tea and eats
scones with his mother.

Who did Janis Joplin play with
before she became famous?

Jorma Kaukonen.

Who is Zimmerman?
-Bob Dylan.

What happened then?

Is the TV on?
-Not yet.

It's just starting.
-Hey, Robin.

Ceder, Sammy Ceder.
-Bexar, Henrik Bexar.

I am your son's new classmate. I
moved with my mother from Pori.

What will Sammy Ceder
be when he grows up?

Rich, wealthy and prosperous.
Maybe not in that order.

We have the same goals.

Do you have a TV here?
- This is my TV.

Hannibal Heyes, here he comes.

Hannibal Heyes is tough.

Kid Curry is tougher.
Or what, Sammy?

Kid Curry is miserable.

What is this?

A review of Slade's latest.
-Are you playing a rock critic?

Isn't Robin coming?
-That will come later.

Great mimes.

What is?
- Come and see.

Stop. It costs five marks.
-Huh?

It costs a fortune to watch.
-Watching what?

Two mimmies swam to us.
-Fiver?

I agree with the
mimmies. FIM 5, please.

We are neighbors.
-Does not help.

That's the whole week's allowance.
-A contract is a contract.

Yes Yes...

No no...

Everyone is fine.

Yeah, let's talk.

Merry Christmas.

Look at me like that.

I once wanted to spend
Christmas at home, - so that

I wouldn't always be a guest
at other people's houses.

I'm not a stranger to Hallonviken.
Neither do the children.

It is my mother
and father's home.

Studio musicians in Memphis -

were ripe before the
last gig of the day.

They had promised to play
cheaply in some junkie's session.

They can hardly raise
their eyes, - when a stranger

comes and says: Hi, my name is Otin Redding.

You were supposed
to come hours ago.

I understand you promised
to be on time today.

You got the hell wrong.

I understand.

When we celebrate Christmas at home,
I thought you would understand coming.

So that Riku wouldn't have to apply.
- Now everyone is at home.

Dinner is served.
-Thank you. Is there Christmas beer?

First, apologize to your mother.
-What?

That you're late.

lrti, fascist.

let's eat now so the
feelings cool down.

When I was your age,
I fought for a better

tomorrow - and not just
for meaningless whims.

You're a revolutionary.
Your music is just a business

- just like the stereos and
tape recorders that I bring

into the country - and with which you play your records.

During the general strike, me and
my friends crashed a luxury car...

I am against violence.

I opposed society's un-
passages, not my own parents.

I was in solidarity with them.

Why would I be in
solidarity with such a zero?

What have you accomplished?

You married your mother
and your mother's family.

Are you going to wear a goat mask all Christmas?
-I do not know yet.

It would make it easier if I didn't
have to see you again today.

Dani.

Dani.

Dani.

The car came into a
curve 120 km per hour.

It went off the
road to the right -

flew around in a
ditch and hit a rock.

Jakob Pettersson drove the car.

It was in his blood 0.

6 per thousand of alcohol.

He died immediately.

Died as well Larsko
Kasell and Kim Malm.

You're welcome. I'm
going to finish school and..

. Dani gold.

I do not want to fight. I..

. We all love you. Don't
you understand that?

Do you have to make
everything so difficult for us?

I don't want to fight either
but i'm finishing school.

You'll get great grades
without breaking the bank.

I don't believe in grades like you do.
There are more important things in life.

Maybe Dani needs a gap year.

You wanted to
study English abroad.

I guess you won't go that cheap.
He just wants to laze around.

I thank you.

I brought magazines,
if you want to read.

You live my life then
father will be satisfied.

The following years were strange. The
roundness disappeared from the world.

The world had been
full of round things.

Round things
disappeared one by one.

And I disappeared
from your life.

You are composed. These
papers will get you into Hanken.

County and state. We don't
bump into each other here.

Dan Bexar is calling
from Denmark.

Will you answer the call?
-Yes.

The call is answered.

Is that you, mom? This is Dani.

Dani, dad here Where are

you? Do you need money?

Benita?
-Go away.

Open up, Benita.

Open the door!

Where does this come from?

Off, off.

Take that painting
to your mother.

Take the box with you.

Now you have
space, just for yourself.

Katja Beckerman.
-Sammy Ceder.

Hi, Sammy. I've heard a
lot of good things about you.

Nicole Wallin.
-Robin Åström.

Learn from Robin.

Mimmit is like a business.
You have to know how to market

yourself - and convince the customer
of the superiority of the product.

Needed in this town Studio 54.
-This place stinks.

Dad could borrow
some initial capital.

Riku, why didn't
you pursue Hanken?

Some don't realize
that there must be goals.

Riku is not hungry.

It is a spoiled
born shareholder.

Or too stupid to get rich.

Wasn't I with that
girl a while ago?

Easier to say
who you haven't been with.

Shut up already!

Go to sleep.

Be quiet.

What is it?

I need a job.
I thought I'd start here.

Don't you take a
gap year after writing?

Since you broke up...
I can not afford.

When your mother and I broke up,
I thought I couldn't continue here.

I thought of Gnejs & Co as the
company of your mother and her family -

but you partners disagreed -

as is your mother's family.

They value professional
people, and so do I.

Apply for a job here when
you decide to apply to Hanken.

I can help you find
work elsewhere.

And a stranger enters
the studio in Memphis...

Can you see it in front of you?

It says:
Hi, my name is Otis Redding.

Wasn't that a good thing?
-It was.

Do you have Joy Division
Love Will Tear Us Apar?.

Love will... It isn't.

You could shave your
beard a little better, Mr. Bexar.

This company has its traditions.

I'm in a bit of a hurry.
I just brought you this.

Have you started a club?

Me and Robin.
- Robin?

What's up with that?
-Good. It has a hard skull.

It lasts for many bottles of wine. And as Robin

says - it can't afford to be
at odds with a shareholder.

It was nice to meet again.

There's a customer.
You are the seller here.

You might want to serve him.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Riku.
-What?

I saw Dan.
-What? Where?

There.

You have to protest
against protest. It's all over.

The wax cabinet at the club
follows age-old patterns of behavior.

They look so terrible
and the music is horrible.

Because of Jimmy Dean and
It's been a long time since Dylan.

I don't understand
a word.

No one knows why anything is
done. Jimmy Dean is a piece of junk.

What have you done to yourself?
-Dylan has become a preacher.

Engelbert Humperdink
or any Iskelmä is better.

Syrupiness is the
only real protest.

Sammy and other trend
pellets are mere conformists.

As conformists, they get furious
if their ways are questioned.

When did you come
home from your travels?

when did you
come home -Home?

Yes, to Helsinki.
-A little while ago.

Marina, I like those buttons.

They say you were in
Köpis and Stockholm.

What are you doing there?
-Did you know, that you have beautiful eyes?

Hi, I'm
your sister.

Don't you have
any coffee?

Let's share
these.

I have a daughter.
Melly lives in Stockholm.

So I'm an aunt.
Where is the girl now?

Melly's mom and I have a deal.

Melly can come to
Helsinki if I stop...

If you stop using...
-Using what? Horsemen?

You stop using drugs.

Go now.

What the hell did you come to...
You are like a faija and a mutt.

Know-it-all bourgeois pigs.
You know nothing, -

because you haven't seen anything.

You fear that your world will
collapse if you open your eyes.

Now you go. Go!

Dani?

Dani!

Soon it will be as if
the past never existed.

There will be a shortage of time.

The lack of time ticks our
bodies faster and faster.

As if someone pressed the gas to
the bottom and did not lighten the shoe.

Sammy Ceder has quickly
created a huge business network.

He has partners, but
the reins are in his hands.

Money is said to
corrupt the soul.

Bullshit.
Not true.

Used properly, money
cleanses the soul.

A healthy soul does not avoid money,
but goes to it.

Do you take any responsibility
for the companies you buy?

Good night.

I'm not saying that money brings happiness -

but money is the shortest way to happiness,
or what?

Sammy.

Riku, great that you came.

I'd like a little something.
- You organized a great party.

We'll come back to that later.

How has it been?
-Good thanks.

You bought a villa in Hawaii.
- It's a castle. And my own green.

Please come and visit.

Would a gentleman offer
free booze to a thirsty lady?

I can't afford anything else.
- Right? Don't you know me?

Niki?

Where have you been?
-Don't you enjoy company?

Now let's drink.
Something really strong.

10 tequila slammers
with champagne.

You must have
enjoyed yourself enough.

You heard the order. 10
tequila slammer with champagne.

Just a second.

Riku Bexar, do you really
want to live this shitty life?

I like Niki.

You'd rather be useful.

Do you still have those shares
in your father's company?

You have a reserved seat
on the board of Cederco.

Your main area of responsibility
is the radio station we bought.

Couldn't this be improved a bit?

However, we have
one requirement.

You have to buy a suit.

A new and stylish suit.

One more thing: You said you still

have the shares of
the family business.

We want to buy them.

They are not for sale.
- They are. What is your price?

Think about it. No hurry.

Where have you been?
-Everywhere.

How does short hair feel?

My daughter needs to get a really
good home when she comes to Helsinki.

The circularity ends.

I will be a gray, honest Hessian.
-Where do you live?

I just flew out of the cabin, but i got a new one.
-Where from?

Are there no apartments?
-Not like that, which I can afford.

Do you have any shares left?
- I sold them a while ago.

you can come now but he is busy.

I want the information
immediately.

You could have called.
- I was nearby.

This time of day?

I have been offered a new job.

I would have offered the coffees if
I had known your result, but now...

Sorry, here are the
latest stock quotes.

I don't know if I want that job.
- Riku, what do you really want?

Take the offered job and
manage on your own for once.

Lick asses. That's
what our people

have to do - if we're
going to get anywhere.

I met him.
-Who?

I thought everything
would be fine if I met him.

It was at Tittenhurst Manors. A
beautiful mansion, like the Taj Mahal.

I slept in the
park for four days.

I was completely frozen. A recording
artist took pity on me and helped me.

John Lennon was leaning
on the door frame and I

said, "I thought everything
would be okay if I met you."

John furrowed his
brows. "How come?"

It had short hair and four-
rimmed glasses. I tried again,

“I knew right away that A Day
in the Life was written for me."

I didn't remember how
much rock stuff you know.

You got the dune
Radio from Bright Lights.

I'm the boss
of the station.

What is
happening?

Who buys
and why?

Who are
they?

Who sells
to them?

So you bought
an apartment.

It's a wise
investment.

Did you move to it?
- I don't. I rented it to Dan.

This is also a really
good investment.

The property has been well
maintained for generations.

And this came as
if on top of the deal.

Can't a building
this old be awkward?

Oh, because it's a protected area?
-At least it needs a big kick.

The facade may well be
From the 19th century, but...

there must be space inside,
don't you like it?

Don't you like it? -Yeah

Damn beautiful.

It's coming here
Cederco Leisure Centre.

There will be a sauna
and relaxation areas.

A small art gallery
would fit in that grove.

Thanks for help.

We couldn't have taken over
Gnejs & Co without your shares.

Your father has fallen off the sled.

But not you.
Not you, Riku.

Isn't it wonderful to be
bigger than his father? Come.

Henry!

I didn't think they...

I thought you were
allowed to stay in charge.

They promised me.

Dad, I wanted to help Dan.

He has a daughter,
who needs a home.

Is that someone from your company?

I don't have a company anymore.

I am a free man.

Sammy, this is so beautiful!
- Is it about you?

Riku, the evening is young.

Riku, where are you going?

Sorry. Doesn't Niki
Wallin live here?

No, he's moved.

Where?

I do not know.

Sorry.

Can I give you these?

Good night.
-What happened to that?

Nothing.
-Nothing?

I'm going to the doctor.

You're already at the doctor's.

Nobody moves, nothing is shown.

I know I stand with hundreds
of people in the desert.

Everything is black.

Only the sky with its millions of
brightly twinkling stars is above me.

And suddenly...

The entire pyramid of
Cheops explodes into light.

Right at the foot of it, Jerry
Garcia's gang starts playing.

The best gig in the world.

Take it easy, no worries.

Children can handle
situations like this.

You know that.

Hello, Melly. How was your trip?
-Very.

Is everything okay?
You are so sweet.

Nice to see you.

Father. Look.

It's a little surprise for you.

Dani wants to meet you
and introduce her daughter.

You haven't even
seen Riku in ages.

Hello, Melly.
-So cute.

Wait here, Melly.

Good luck, Dad.

Lots of kites.

This is my daughter Melly.

Come on, Raj. Have you seen
that big butterfly-looking kite?

Dani, where are you going?
- Melly has to go to the bathroom.

I'll take her.
- No, I'll take it.

Dani, my father is disappointed in me.
-No worries.

Hello... Yeah,
everything is fine.

Anything. Invigorating,
sedatives, whatever.

As long as something.

Yeah, I'll be there. Clear.

How the hell can
you learn to live -

when you can't even take
care of your loved one?

Doctors can save Melly's

legs, - but she'll never run again.

Riku, what does your brother
have? It's playing on the radio.

Has something
happened to that girl?

Betraying your
child is unforgivable.

When it's a danger
to the one you love.

Why does everything
beautiful have to turn ugly?

Can someone explain it to me?

I know that life is
all about opposites.

For example, my
esteemed employers.

Would Cederco's stock market
sharks chase the most expensive

cars - and the most beautiful women,
if they didn't know what ugliness is?

Or what does piss taste like?

They never do. Because
that's what it's all about.

I'd rather burn than
drown in a pond,

- where others are
"trampling fools"

- as Sammy Ceder
and his gang see it.

However, Sammy Ceder is just...

Just scary little shit from
Pori and nothing will change.

Satan.

Did you hear how the
music swayed, geeks?

The drummer didn't play wrong,
it was the rhythm of the heart.

The rhythm of the heart wavers,
the heart does not beat like a machine.

The rhythm of the heart...
What are you doing here?

I own this place.

Devil of Satan!

Let it go.

That you became such
a piece of shit, Sammy.

What the fuck?

You're just a fucking fake.
Everything revolved around you.

You took all the space,
without everything.

The whole family focused on Dan.

You were somehow amazing
to all of us, especially dad.

You're just a bubble.

Dani... Dani.

Hi, my name is Otis Redding.

Dani.

He looks so fragile.

We came as soon as we could.
-Dad, wait!

What have you done?

I want to go to Uncle Dani's.

I want to go to Uncle Dani's.
-Raj! No!

I want to go to Uncle Dani's.

What are you doing here?

You have a son at
home to take care of.

Melly and Raj.

Press here.

Melly, this is for
you from your father.

Your father wanted
to give it to you.

Look over here.

Run, run.

Run, run.

It flies!
