Are you awake?

Woman: Um, Christian?

Uh, what?

Do you need anything?

It's time for the next one.

- What?
- It's time for
your next interview.

- Uh, yeah.
- Do you need a few minutes?

- A glass of water?
- Just give me a couple
of minutes.

- See you in gallery one.
- Right.

We need a soundcheck.

So, what did you have
for breakfast?

I had some bread,
cheese and cornflakes.

- Uh, an egg.
- I'll just...

Some juice, coffee.
Are we all set?

Hello. Christian.

Hello again.

So, is everything all right?

- Sure.
- Good.

- And you?
- Very well.

- Wonderful.
- Yeah.

- Um, grab a chair.
- Yes.

- And let's get...
- Get started.

Woman: His checklist
will be right there?

Woman: Yeah.

- Man: Sorry.
- Woman: All right.

- Interesting.
- Yeah.

- Did you get a level?
- Woman 2: Yeah, we're good.

- And you're comfortable?
- Mm-hm.

Well, that's-- oh, my god.

That's okay.

No, it's just--
no, it's--

sorry, just a second.

Okay.

Are you rolling?

Woman: Should I start over?
Yeah.

Yeah, if you can start over.

Thanks.

- Woman: You're ready?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Woman: We're rolling.

You all set?

- Christian: You ready?
- Yes.

Good.

Uh, my first, um...

Question's a broad one.

What are the biggest challenges
in running a museum like this?

I hate to say it,
but it's probably money.

Um, raising sufficient funds.

We're a museum of modern
and contemporary art.

So we need to present art that
is absolutely the art of today,

the future, art that is
absolutely cutting edge,

and that's expensive.

And the competition is fierce,

because you've got
buyers and collectors

from all over the world
with so much money

you can't believe it.
They spend more in an afternoon

- than we spend in a year.
- Mm.

Whereas, if we buy
that piece of art

we'll be able
to present it here.

To a large audience, to all
of Stockholm and Sweden

and perhaps even visitors.

So I think it's actually
an obligation for us

to, um... to get into
that competition

and present...
Art that is absolutely...

Woman: I agree.
I agree absolutely.

- It's key. Yeah.
- Mm-hm.

Well... 'Cause I wanted
to ask you

about something that I read
on your website.

- All right.
- That I didn't understand.

And I was hoping that you could
help me to understand.

- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.

Do you mind
if I read this to you?

- Please do.
- Yeah.

Um, may 30-31.

"Exhibition/non-exhibition.

An evening conversation
that explores the dynamics

of the 'exhibitable'
and the construction
of public-ness

in the spirit of
Robert Smithson's
site/non-site.

From non-site to site,

from non-exhibition
to exhibition,

what is the topos of
exhibition/ non-exhibition

in the crowded moments
of mega exhibition?"

Can I?

- Do you want to read it?
- Yeah.

- Um...
- Yeah, I just don't--

I'm sorry, I'm clearly not
as scholarly as you are.

I was just hoping
that you could...

Well, this is, um...

This was a couple
of evenings in may

where we discussed, um...

When... when...

I mean, if you place
an object in a museum

does that make this object
a piece of art?

- Hm.
- For instance,
if we took your bag,

and placed it here...

Would that make it art?

Ah.

Okay.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, it does. I think. Yeah.

Well, that is all we have.

I need a hand over here...

The square is a sanctuary
of trust and caring.

Within its boundaries,
we all share equal rights
and obligations.

Woman: Do you want to save
a human life?

Do you want to save
a human life?

Not right now.

Do you want to save
a human life?

Do you want to save
a human life?

- Do you want to save
a human life?
- Sorry?

Help!

Help!

Help!!

Help!!!

You have to help me,
he's going to kill me!

- Man: Hey, calm down.
- He's going to kill me.
Help! Please!

- Man: What's the matter?
- Help me, he's going
to kill me!

Man: Get a grip on yourself!

- He's going to kill you too!
- Calm down! Shut up!

- Hey, back me up here!
- But I don't...

- Okay, what's going on?
- Someone's howling over there.

- I can't see anyone.
- He's going to kill us!

- Would you calm down!
- He's going to kill us!

- No, no...!
- No, don't...

- What the hell?!
- Cool the fuck down!

- I wasn't going after you guys!
- What the hell?

Have a nice day, guys.

- Bloody idiot!
- What a bloody idiot!

- Bloody idiot!
- What the hell just happened?

That was insane...

What a fucking idiot! Jesus...

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- Is your heart pounding?
- Yeah.

My heart's like...

Good thinking,
getting me in on it.

I just reacted.

Asking for help,
that was really smart.

- I was scared, how about you?
- Well...

Shit.

- Right...
- Yeah, all right.

- Take care!
- Have a nice day.

Excuse me, may I please
borrow your phone?

Could you please help me?
Could I please borrow
your phone?

I just need some help.

Woman: Excuse me. Um...

You're on your way to
the art exhibition now?

Yeah, castle is over there.

Woman 2: Oh.

Man: Have you seen
any of his work before?

Man 2: No.

Woman : This is
what "the square" looks like.

Right.

And the exhibition
will open on September 15.

Woman 1: That's right.
I've booked the usual
billboards,

and ad space in two
of the major daily newspapers.

- Okay.

So we've done some prep already.

Right. You see...

Listen, this is
a very nice project

that raises important issues.

But, from a communications
point of view,

the values are too general.

We need to talk about
the difference

between art and marketing.

I totally agree.

For every new project, we need
to assess how newsworthy it is.

What makes this exhibition
stand out?

Does it involve any controversy?

Can we tie it to trends
or current events?

If not, you're stuck
with the billboards.

That makes it hard to generate
any international attention.

Then you'll only reach
the usual "culture vultures".

To get journalists to write
about it, you need some
controversy.

Only this project doesn't really
have much of an edge.

As a journalist, I want
to create my own standpoint.

Like most people, I want to
express an opinion

that isn't just consensus.

I'd never post
a Facebook status like

"Daniel wants peace on earth."

- So...
- Christian: Hang on.

There's more to this exhibition
than a Facebook update.

Of course.

Its strength lies
in its simplicity.

That's what we
should communicate.

Reporter 2: Definitely,
just let me read this.

"The square is a sanctuary
of trust and caring.

Within its boundaries,
we all share equal rights
and obligations."

No one would disagree with that.

So why should I,
as a journalist, care?

Well... you dropped this.

My point is, that this isn't
about the statement.

What's important is what
this square activates
in its audience.

- We understand.
- That's what we want
to communicate.

May I clarify something?

The guys aren't disputing
the legitimacy of the project.

As long as we agree
on the content.

And they're not questioning
what you're trying to explore.

They're simply trying to explain
how the media landscape works,

and what it takes
to make an impact.

Woman: I've been thinking...

How about doing something
like the ice bucket challenge?

Woman 2: Yeah, that's a good
idea. Only what was it?

It was a viral success...

Well, ordinary people,
or celebrities,
filmed themselves

getting buckets of ice-water
poured all over them.

Woman 1: And it went viral.

- It was huge!
- Woman 3: It was
all over the place.

Woman 2: Sure, but what
was the point of it all?

- There was no point.
- Woman 1: You make it
sound corny.

It was to promote als research.
It generated one billion kronor,

so it was a very successful
campaign, but it wouldn't
be viable here.

Your ambition level is high.
Our ambition level is high.

Together, we should shoot
for something bold.

- I agree.
- That's what we're trying
to explain.

We need to take a leap.

Do something fresh.
And these guys know how.

They were born into
this fast-moving arena.

- It's their home turf.
- Christian: Perfect.

Man: We have everything we need,

so let's go back
to the drawing board.

Next week
we'll present our ideas

and we'll take it from there.

- Sounds great.
- Woman 1: Good,
sounds exciting.

- Can we keep these?
- Woman 1: Sure.

This will be great, Christian.
So, how are things?

- The craziest thing
just happened.
- What?

- The craziest thing
happened to me.
- Today?

Listen, I want you all
to hear this.

It's
un-fucking-believable.

And after Christian
says goodbye to the other guy,

he checks his pockets
and his wallet,

his phone and
his cufflinks are gone.

- You must be kidding!
- I don't understand
how they did it.

And now my phone
is down there.

- It's really close.
- And we're here.

- So surreal...

Woman: Hello...

Elna, check this out.

I need a print
of the press release.

Come here.

- Can you see what that is?
- No.

Of course you can't.
Well, it's my phone.

On my way to work this morning,
i was robbed.

They took my phone,
they took my wallet,

and they even took my cufflinks!

I have no idea how they did it.

So what do you say?

Is that your work phone?

It's the only phone I have.

Work or private,
it's the phone I use.

- It's almost time, isn't it?
- Yes.

- See you out there.
- I'm on my way.

- Will you...?
- Sure.

We'll talk about
the next step later on.

Yeah.

We will be presenting
the Argentinean artist and
sociologist Lola arias.

Lola's art is inspired by
Nicolas bourriaud,

and his thoughts
on relational aesthetics.

In short, relational
aesthetics explores

how we relate to each other
in a social context.

I'm sorry, this all sounds
very stiff.

May I start over again?

Would that be okay?
Cool.

I'll lose the notes...
I don't need them.

Now off with these...

Because the project
I'd like to tell you about...

It means so much to me
that I'd prefer to speak
from the heart.

This is a very special night.

Our museum has
received a donation

from Anna-stina and Gunnar's
foundation: 50 million kronor.

Now I'd like to ask
our chief curator, Christian,

to tell you about
our first acquisition

with this donation,
a piece known as "the square",

which you may
have seen on your way in.

An exhibition will also
be tied to this artwork.

Thank you for joining us,
Christian.

Um, dear friends of the museum,

we will be presenting
the Argentinean artist
and sociologist Lola arias,

and her artwork "the square".

Lola's art is inspired
by Nicolas bourriaud,

and his thoughts
on relational aesthetics...

What's so funny?

Oh, a phone is ringing?
Is it for me?

Let's wait and see.

Erik? Is it for me?

My mother usually calls
at this hour.

Um...

May I take this opportunity
to start over?

It all felt a bit too stiff.
Let me lose the mic.

I'd like you to
do something for me.

Are you game? Okay.

I'm asking you to imagine
that you are standing

in a public place in town.

Such as odenplan,

or any other large city Plaza.

Are you there now? Okay.

It's an ordinary day and
lots of people are in motion.

You look down and see
that you are standing
inside a square,

a clearly defined
4 x 4 meter square.

That's what "the square"
is on a physical plane.

It's like an empty frame
waiting for its contents.

Lola arias compares "the square"
to a pedestrian crossing.

A pedestrian crossing
involves a clear-cut contract:

Drivers are to look out
for pedestrians.

In a similar way,
there is a contract

implied by "the square",
to look out for each other.

We help each other.
If you enter this space
and ask for help,

anyone passing by
is obligated to help you.

"I'm hungry.

Can you help me with a meal?"

"Can you teach me how to swim?"

"My father just died
and I have no one to talk to.

Could you spare me
30 minutes of your time?"

Some of you may be thinking
that this sounds naive.

Maybe even utopian.

Christian: Thank you.

Thank you.

The exhibit opens
in late summer,

and you just can't miss it.

And now I hope you're hungry.
We have a treat for you.

Jonas, will you
present the food?

I'm sure you'll do that
better than me.

- Hello!
- Audience: Hello.

We've prepared
a lovely buffet for you.

Corn-fed chicken
smothered in mushrooms,

asparagus marinated
in truffle oil...

And celeriac
roasted to sweet perfection...

Please don't rush.

Slow down!

There's a sauce, too.

Pan juices refined with
a touch of balsamic vinegar,
honey and Sage.

Enjoy!

Can I ask you something?
The GPS in my car...

Yeah.

It's always about 50 meters off.

- Is that location reliable?
- It's right there.

- It may be 10 meters off, tops.
- That's too much.

We may not know which flat,

but we can be certain
of the building.

Listen, I have an idea.

Let's write a threatening letter

that we distribute
in the building,

putting it in
all the letterboxes.

That way, we get to
whoever did this.

There could be 15 floors.

- So what? It's not a problem.
- 8 flats on each floor...

I'll do it. It's fine.

Isn't a threat a bit
over the top?

"To the person who robbed me,

I'll bash your head in
if you don't return my stuff."

No, no. Come on,
that's way too violent.

These people are criminals,
that's how they roll.

It doesn't justify
bad behavior from us.

Don't be so Swedish!

Ditch the political
correctness crap.

They should fucking
pay for this.

"We know who you are
and where you live, obviously,

or you wouldn't
be getting this."

Good one.
Very good.

- And then they...
- Hang on!

"We know who you are
and obviously where you live,

or this would never
have reached you."

New paragraph.

Um...

"Return my wallet,
my phone, and the cufflinks

that once belonged
to my grandfather."

They were my grandfather's.

- I'll type while you eat.
- Sure.

Okay if I ditch comic sans?
Find something less childlike.

I didn't pick it.
It's a 90s all-time favorite.

Now it won't look like
a kid's birthday party
invitation.

- After all, it is a threat!
- This is insane!

- Go on. Continue.
- Just a second.

"My phone"...

"...and my grandfather's
cufflinks within 24 hours"...

You missed the "my"
in front of grandfather.

"My wallet, my phone,
and grandfather's cufflinks"...

It's getting v-e-r-y personal.

"...to the 7-Eleven
by the central station

or we'll be back..."

Should we add a skull?

No emoticons,
that's for texting.

- Right, it's too childish.
- Let's print this shit!

- Let's go!
- 50 copies.

They're driving
like bloody maniacs!

- Man: Could we listen
to some music?
- Sure.

How about a golden oldie
from back home...

- Gasoline!
- Don't you have anything
more upbeat?

This is more upbeat.

Cool, you've got justice.
Track 5.

- What?
- Justice. Track 5.

That's the one.
It's awesome. Put it on.

Okay.

Man: Yes.

Come on, crank it up loud.

I haven't listened to justice
for ages.

The paradox is that
they're called justice.

And what are we out to get?

- That's not a paradox.
- Well, maybe not...

But we're out to get justice,
aren't we?

Christian: Yeah.

- That's great timing!
- It certainly is.

Are you ready?
Turn it up!

- Isn't this great?

This is what happens
when they steal your phone.

- We're coming with the cavalry!
- Coming at them with a hammer.

- A great, big hammer.
- Out for justice...

In a Tesla.

- The Tesla of justice!
- You're crazy.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Are you going?
One of us has to watch the car.

Man: I'll do it.

- You'll do what?
- I'll watch the car.

I'll watch the car.

This is kind of
embarrassing, but...

You are aware that I'm
sort of a semi-public figure?

- Yeah, yeah.
- People know who I am.

There's a good chance
I'll be recognized.

Not here.

- They wouldn't know
who you are.
- True.

But I wasn't the one
who was robbed.

But this was your idea.
Oh, yes, it was.

You suggested writing
a letter. Right?

I just wanted to help out.
So I can't see why...

Let's just skip the whole thing,
it doesn't matter.

Let's get out of here.

Give me your jacket.

I can't go in there
in this suit.

Hand over your jacket,
you sissy.

Being a sissy
has nothing to do with it.

You're a sissy!

Hang on. I'm sorry...

Do you remember saying
you'd run in with the letters?

- I never said that.
- You did.

Let me refresh your memory:
"It's dead easy, you just..."

- I did say that.
- You did.

But I never said
I'd do it, personally.

As your boss, I'm curious
to know if I can count on you.

If you promise to do something,
can I count on you?

- Of course you can.
- Really?

I'm willing to overlook it
this time, but in the future?

You can count on me.
Yeah, yeah.

That's cool.

Motherfuckers...

Elevator: Thirteenth floor.

Going down.

Hello?!

Shit.

This is totally insane.

Come on!

Oh, fuck!

Yes, this is my car,
but I'm kind of busy.

Man: It's a cool car.
Could you start it up?

- What?
- Start it up. Drive...

Could you please not touch it?

- You might scratch it.
- Man: I'm not doing anything.

I just want you
to start her up.

No, I don't feel like it.

Come on, don't be such a drag,
I've never seen one of these.

It's just an ordinary car.
Nothing special, dead boring.

Have a nice evening.

What the hell?

What do you think you're doing?

- What are you doing?
- Man: Whatever I want.

Listen, stop this crap...

- Go! Go!
- What?

- All right! Get in!

I think we hit something.

Christian: Yeah,
i guess we did...

Could you pull over...
So I can take a look?

Please, I have three children
and diabetes. One krona?

Excuse me...
Please, one krona?

- Thank you, ma'am.
- A little money? Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.
Please, kind ma'am.

Hello, help me...
One krona, please.

Hello, help me.
One krona, please.

Thank you.
Help me, please.

Woman: Do you want
to save a human life?

Do you want
to save a human life?

Do you want
to save a human life?

- Hello.
- Hi.

How are you today?

Money...

Sorry, I don't have any cash.

But I could buy you
something to eat.

Chicken ciabatta.

- What?
- Chicken ciabatta.

- Okay, chicken ciabatta.
- Yeah.

- Hey...
- Yeah?

What did you say?

- "No onions"?
- Yeah.

Okay.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'd like a pay-as-you-go
sim card

and one chicken ciabatta.

Has anyone dropped off
a parcel or letter

addressed to "Christian"?

Peggy?

- Peggy?
- Yes?

Has anybody
dropped off a parcel?

A parcel?

A parcel or a letter
for Christian?

- No.
- Nothing?

- Sorry.
- Okay.

Have a nice day.

Here's your ciabatta.
Pick the onions out yourself.

Hey. Hey!

Guard: Sir?

No picture.

Man: My starting point
with this installation

as with probably all
my art over the last...

...six years, um...

Uh...

My starting point was
my immediate surroundings

and, uh... uh...

And uses everyday objects

to explore the meaning of one's
human response to art.

By that, I mean
they are framed instances

that shine a light
on everyday objects

which might normally
be not noticed

in their original context.

I was interested,
for example, in--

what happens when
a landscape painting

is hung in a gallery.

How does that landscape
relate to its...

To the space of the gallery,

how does that space
relate to the space

inside one's own head?
Inside one's psyche, so that--

man:
Cock, goddammit!

Um...

You were
talking about landscape,

and that reminds me of
the late Robert Smithson,

who, in the 60s and 70s,
was very famous for his--

man: Garbage!

Um, of photography and, uh...
And the landscape.

And, um, he used material such
as soil, rock and leaves

and mixed it with
other materials, like--

man: Show us your boobs!

Woman: We apologize,
my husband has tourette's.

- Other materials such as--
- tourette's?

- Please, carry on.
- Yeah, um...

So the piece of art
is created,

when you're talking
about earth art...

Man: Whore!

By introducing materials
such as concrete, metal,

to rocks and soils and leaves,
is that something...

Is that a headline for
the work you do? I mean--

- man: Fuck off!
- Man 2: That's enough.

Woman: Sorry. Sorry...

Artist: Smithson was a friend
of mine, in fact, when I was--

he was interested
in the aesthetics

of earth and the products
of the earth,

and I'm interested
in using those products,

- but not in their aesthetic.
- Man: Garbage!

Cocksucker! Whore!

- Woman: This is outrageous.
- I'm sorry.

Woman: If everyone
that can be quiet,

please try to be quiet.

Shut up!
Go home! Fuck off!

Woman: If the artist
is okay with it--

we have
this one opportunity

to meet this fantastic artist...

Man: Show us your boobs!

Let's continue.
Everyone is welcome,

irrespective of views...

- Um, yeah...

Have you seen
the exhibition downstairs?

You've seen it?
Did you like it?

Man : Garbage!

Okay.

- Man 2: I liked it.
- Okay.

What do you want to say?

Go home! Fuck off! Suck cock!

- We can't hear a thing.
- Woman: The atmosphere
is stressing him out...

Shut up! Go home!

- Camel toe!

Try to be a bit tolerant.

The man is suffering
from a neuropsychiatric
disorder.

This isn't voluntary,
so show some tolerance.

Interviewer: Uh, yeah.

Artist:
You're very welcome here.

I don't see any reason
for any other interruptions.

Fuck!

Woman: What are you up to?

Woman: Algot, come here.

She's off her rocker...

Hello, my name is Christian.
I believe you called me?

Well, I'll be damned!

Unbelievable.

Money?

- This is for you.
- Thank you.

- And this...
- Thank you.

Thank you...

Attention, people...

This is a very special place.
Right behind here...

I'm serious,
this is the royal palace.

The former private quarters of
the king and queen is next door.

And one person here tonight
has the keys...

We thought we'd pop in
and have a look.

Oh, crap! We have...

Don't forget to be
extremely careful
with the interiors.

- Josefina!
- Come with us...

Do you know this one?

No.

Do you want to sit?

No, go ahead.

Cunt!

Shh! Cunt!

Excuse me?

Cunt.

Did you say "cunt"?

Shh!

Cunt.

Okay.

Yeah, do you remember
from the...

Shh!

Um...

- You want to go ahead?
- No.

I am not going
to sleep with her tonight.

Um... Anne?

Anne.

Anne: All right.

I can take that, yeah.

There.

- It's on.
- Okay.

Hmm?

Did you come?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Cool.

I can take that.

- What?
- I'll take it.

No, it's fine. I got it.

- Give it to me.
- No, it's cool.

I'll...

- I'll do it myself.
- Give it me, Christian.

Um... no.

No. I'll do it myself.

I'm going to the bathroom, so...

I'll throw it out myself.
It's fine.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Throw it away.

God, you really...

Hmm. You really think highly
of yourself, don't you?

No.

I can't believe you think
i would do that.

Do what?

You know what I'm talking about.

And what would that be?

You tell me.

- I'm not thinking anything.
- Yes, you are.

- No! No.
- You're lying to me.

- I'm not lying.
- Yes, you are.

"No, I'm not lying."
Yes, you are.

- I'm not lying.
- Tell me. What do you think?

Oh, my god, you're being
all weird now.

- No, I'm not!
- Yes, you are.

The second we're done you're
going straight for the condom.

- Trying to be nice.
- "Can I have it?"

- What? Do you--
- let go of it.

- You let go.
- It's mine.

It's not yours. Let go.

- No.
- Yes, you're acting
like a child.

- I'm not letting go.
- Let go!

- No!
- I'm gonna let go if you don't.

- Let go then.
- You let go.

- It's gonna break.
- Yes, it is.

- Let go.
- Give it to me.

- Hello?
- Woman: Hello,
is this Christian?

Yeah.

This is the central station
7-Eleven.

I'm calling to say that
there's a parcel here
waiting for you.

There must be
a misunderstanding,

I picked it up yesterday.

This came just
a little while ago.

I'm holding it as we speak.

It has "Christian" written
on it, so it has to be yours.

- And it was dropped off today?
- Yes, today.

That's strange...
Could you open it for me?

- You want me to open it?
- If that's possible, please do.

There's a little note inside.

Is there a message?

- Yes, want me
to read it to you?
- Yes, please.

"You accused me
of being a thief.

Apologize to me
and my family,

or I'll make chaos with you."

Oh, I'll be darned...
"Chaos," you said?

Yes. "Or I'll make c-h-a-o-s
with you."

Uh-huh, yeah. Well, I'll
pick it up as soon as I can.

There's a phone number here
too, want me to say it?

No, never mind,
I'll come and get the parcel.

- Thank you for calling.
- Great, bye.

- Will you be wearing
your hair up?
- That's the plan.

- Okay
- is it time?

One, two, three...

Yes!

Man: What's up!

- How are you feeling
about this?
- Great.

We're getting closer.

I'm excited to hear what
you've come up with.

- Man: Right. Are you all set?
- Woman: Absolutely.

- Man: It's great to be back.
- Great to have you back.

This project raises
many interesting,

topical and
humanitarian issues.

But the challenge here

is to cut through
the media clutter.

Your competition
isn't other museums,

it's disasters,
terrorism,

and controversial moves
by far-right politicians.

Keep that at the back
of your mind, stay calm,

and Daniel will
tell you about our idea.

Okay.

Daniel: Yes.

Moving media,
that's what we recommend.

When making films today,
you need to be aware

that people have
a very short attention span.

If the viewer isn't hooked in
two seconds, they'll move on.

In 10 to 15 seconds, tops,
we also have to create

something so powerful
or interesting

that people want to
share it on Facebook,

social media, to the press,
thereby creating a viral effect.

We conducted market research

on what's shared the most
on social media.

It's generally
vulnerable groups.

People post about women,
the disabled,

the racialized, lgbtq people...
You can make that list longer,

but there is one group
that affects people

even more strongly: Beggars.

So we'd like to use a beggar
in this clip,

but also turn it up a notch
by making the beggar a child.

In addition to this,
the beggar will have fair hair.

Personify the Swedish...

What are you thinking...?

We open on the palace courtyard.
The square is visible.

So there's product placement
from frame one.

Towards this artwork...

It's daybreak and the square
is shimmering

with its promise of trust,

caring, moral courage
and all that good stuff...

Then we see a little girl
approaching the square.

She's shivering.
She's all alone. She's crying.

She's wrapped in a dirty blanket

and you sense
that she's homeless.

These are powerful images
so we've hooked the viewer.

Daniel: The girl
keeps on walking...

- Excuse me?
- Sorry, please go on.

Powerful images...
You wonder where it's
all heading.

She's crying
as she moves along...

She enters the square...

And there,
it's time for the unexpected.

The total opposite of everything
the square stands for.

The surprise effect will
generate the attention we need,

creating the perfect platform
to express your message.

All those values and issues
your exhibition

would like to raise.

- Hmm?
- Exciting...

And not at all
what I expected.

- That's good.
- A novel approach.

Woman: That's what we wanted
to achieve.

So, what happens?

Exactly what happens?

Well, we haven't quite figured
out exactly what that will be,

but in one way or another,

the girl will get hurt
inside the square.

Woman 2: What do you mean
by "get hurt"?

Well, it's the last thing
viewers expect,

- and opposite of...

- Hello.
- Great! Come on in.

Christian: Michael, can i
bother you for a sec?

Man: Christian, it would
be great if you could join us.

It would be great
if you could join us.

- Let's take it from the top.
- Man: He needs to be
on board with this.

This looks fine.

It's the right approach.
Go ahead, run with it.

- Daniel: I could
run through it...
- Christian: I've got to go.

- Bye.
- But...

Okay, we'll do a recap later.
Let's move on.

Woman 1: Explain, please.

What's happening here
is exactly what we
want to achieve.

Questions like these reflect

how the general public
and the media will react.

- Woman: That's what
I'm afraid of.
- Don't be...

Michael: Excuse me...
What's your name?

Hello...

- Yes, you.
- Nicki.

- Do you have
a drivers' license?
- Yes.

Come along.

- Right now?
- Yes. Please.

Man: We have, of course,

prepared for crisis management.

That's part of our risk
analysis, to prepare for
any external concerns.

The same concerns I sense here.

We can handle them.

Don't make me angry!
Don't act stupid!

Christian: I don't know
what you're talking about.

- It says "Christian" here.
And there.
- Yes, but...

- Oh. Are you Christian?
- No, he's my boss.

- Your boss?
Where's your stupid boss?
- Listen...

- Where's your stupid boss?
- Lower your voice.

I've got nothing to do
with all this...

- I want his phone number.
- You can't have it.

Why not? Look what he did to me,
i need to talk to him.

I'm really sorry,
we made a mistake.

What? Why did you write this?
My parents think I'm a thief.

They won't let me play ball,
or anything! All thanks to you!

- Hey, listen...
- You put this in my letterbox.

It wasn't me, it was my boss.

No, you did this!
You're lying. You're Christian.

- He's lying to me!
- Calm down.

Look what he put
in our letterbox!

Now my parents think
I'm a thief.

- My boss was robbed...
- All I get to do is stay home
and rot!

They took his phone
and his wallet...

So he put a note
in all the letterboxes.

- What are you laughing at?
- Well, it's...

- You bastard! Shut up.
- Chill...

- You can't fight in here.
- Look at what he wrote.

Don't I have the right
to be angry?

Girl: I don't know
who's right here.

He's pretending
to have a boss called Christian.

And he's pretending that he
can't understand my Swedish...

Translate,
so the idiot understands.

Stop calling me an idiot.

- Give me his number!
- Shh! Calm down!

- Hey, where are you going?
- Hey! What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

What do you expect me to do?
I didn't do this!

- Jesus!
- What the hell are you doing?

- I'm so sorry.

- You scared me.
- You scared me.

- Sorry...
- Christian?

- God!
- I'm sorry, but...

- This is not a good time.
- It's an emergency.

- What?
- Excuse me. Sorry.

- It's okay.
- All right...

One of the cleaners
managed to sweep up

parts of the gijoni exhibit.

- The piles don't look the same.
- Are you pulling my leg?

- Hmm.
- Are the piles gone?

No, but they don't
look the same.

And we found
a bag full of gravel.

So I'll call
the insurance company.

No, no! No, don't do that.

Where's the gravel?
The gravel that was swept away?

In a bag? Great.

And we have photos, don't we?

- Um-hm.
- So here's the plan:

Meet me downstairs in 5 minutes,
with the photos and the gravel,

and we'll fix it.
Without telling anyone at all.

She doesn't understand a thing,
she's American.

Are you serious?
We're going to fix the piles?

Sure, it will be fine. Hm?

We'll sort it out.

- Okay.
- Mm-hm?

Mm-hm. Yeah. Okay.

Do you remember what happened
between us the other night?

We were here.

Yeah, no, after that though.

- We left.
- Yes. And then?

- We got in a car.
- Mm-hm.

Went back to your place.

No?

- Missing something?
- Mm-mm.

You opened a bottle of wine,
we sat down.

We talked, had a great time.

And then what happened?

Are you getting at something
specific here?

- Yes.
- You've got something...

Very specific.

Why don't you just come out
and say it?

Because I want you to say it.

I want you to remember it.

Why is it so hard
for you to say...

Come.

Why is it so...

I don't understand why it's
so hard for you to say this.

- We had sex.
- Great, yes.

Why didn't you just
say it yourself?

You didn't want to say it.

Okay, you were inside of me,
that's what happened.

- Yes, I am...
- You were inside of me.

- I'm aware of that.
- Okay, good.

You remember that then.

Listen, that is part of it.

Yes, it's a big part of it.

When a man and a woman,
you know...

The man is...

- Good.
- Inside the woman, yeah?

And that meant something,
did it not?

Absolutely.

Okay. What did it mean to you?

I really enjoyed myself
that evening.

- I did. I absolutely did.
- Good, good, and I...

Can you please keep
your voice down?

It's just there's someone
right over there.

- Yeah, yeah. I like you.
- Mm-hm.

And I have an emotional
connection to you,

and I'd like to explore that
because it's important to me.

I don't just go have sex
with anybody.

You know? I have to have that.

Do you just go have sex
with just anybody?

Excuse me?

Do you just go have sex
with lots of other women?

Um...

Anne: Is this something
that you do a lot?

Kind of a private question,
isn't it?

Uh, well, so is being inside me
pretty private, so...

But where's
the connection there?

I'm asking how often
you do this.

How... how often would you say
that you take women...

That you don't know very well,

and have sex with them
and be inside them?

I'm not sure...

Do you not remember them?

Yeah, sure, I do. Yeah.

You know their names?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

- Mm-hm, yeah.
- Always?

- Always. Yeah.
- Yeah.

So what's my name?

I know your name.

Okay, then good, what is it?

I'm not gonna go
into this with you.

This is stupid.

Anyone that would know
somebody's name

would just say, "of course
i know your name."

Name.

- I know your name.
- What is it?

Anne.

Okay.

You really
pissed me off.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I think you're fascinating.

Oh, now we're gonna
get to the... oh.

Yeah, I think you're
so interesting.

Yes, I really do. I'm really
starting to figure you out.

- You are?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Let's hear it.
- I think you're interested
in using your position,

which is a position of power,

to attract women
and to make conquests.

That's what I think.

That's what I think. Sorry.

Mm-hm. Is that how i
got you into bed?

Well, it didn't work for me
in that way.

- Oh, no. Absolutely not.
- Well, you admit it now.

It didn't work for you.
That's not a turn-on for you
in any way.

It's a lot of things,
but I don't think it's...

It's nothing to do with
the fact that I'm...

I... I don't think so.

Why is that so hard to admit,
that power is a turn-on?

- Admit it.
- But it's not true for me.

- It's not true. Okay.
- No.

I'll admit to something else
as well.

I'm really proud
that I conquered you.

- Are you?
- Yeah.

- Proud of having me.
- Mm-hm.

You. You're quite a catch...

Yeah. Huh?

You're quite a catch.

"You accused me
of being a thief.

You will apologize to me
and my family,

or I will make chaos with you."

Hello?

Hello.

- Child 1: Daddy!
- Child 2: Why didn't you
open the door?

Child 1: And why didn't you
pick us up!

Christian: It wasn't
my turn to do it.

- We had to call mummy!
- She didn't tell me...

- Go inside, you idiot!
- Stop it!

No... what's going on here?

What's wrong?
Don't fight like that...

- What's wrong with you?

- You twerp!
- I hate you!

- Let go!
- Stop it!

Hey, hey...!

What are you doing?
No, go to your room.

What's the matter, lise? No!

Lilly? What have I said
about slamming doors?

What have I said
about that?!

What have I said
about slamming doors?

We've talked about this.
What's wrong with you two?

Lise? You're the eldest...
What's all this?

Hello?

Why are you fighting like this?

What's the matter?

- I'm sorry, daddy.
- No, it was my fault.
I raised my voice.

I shouldn't have
shouted like that.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Do you want to wait here
while I go get lise? All right?

Welcome! I'm delighted
to see such a crowd.

Here are sets for our new
exhibition, one that is
very promising indeed.

To enter, you have to decide
whether you trust other people,

or that you don't,
you mistrust them.

This is done by pressing
the appropriate button.

You're welcome to do that now.

Excited?
Let's see what happens next.

- Lise: Should we?
- Christian: What do you think?

- Lise: That's what it says.
- Christian: So, shouldn't we?

- Lise: Here?
- Christian: Mm-hm.

Christian: Is that okay?
Does it feel strange?

Lise: Yes.

It'll be interesting to see
if they're still there

when we get back.

This reminds me of something
your grandpa told me.

He was a boy, about 6 years old.

And he was about to go out
and play...

His parents made him a tag
and wrote his name and address
on it.

They hung it around his neck
and sent him off to play

all by himself
in the middle of Copenhagen.

Imagine if I had done that
to you when you were six.

That never would have happened.
Attitudes change...

Back then,
people trusted other grownups

to help their children if they
had problems or had lost their
way.

But nowadays, you tend to
regard other adults

as potential threats.

- Do you understand?
- What's that got to do
with this?

Everything. Read this again
and you'll understand.

Read it again. Out loud.

"The square is
a sanctuary of trust and caring.

Within it, we all share
equal rights and obligations."

I don't have any cash.
Sorry, I don't have any cash.

I don't have any cash.

Hello?

Hello, I'm pauline
from YouTube Sweden.

- Oh, hello...
- Congratulations to 300k.

- Excuse me?
- Congratulations to
300,000 clicks.

- 300,000 views?
- That's right.

Your video has seen
a lot of traffic

in just a few hours.

Really? Well, that's nice.

I presume you're referring
to our artist talk.

No, it's "blonde child beggar
gets blown into pieces".

The reason I'm calling
is to ask

if you are interested
in any ads,

thereby sharing
partner revenue.

- Hello?
- I need to get my head
around this...

We have a clip on YouTube

that features kids
being blown up?

I haven't seen
the clip myself...

I don't work with content.

No, of course not.
Listen, can I call you back

in ten minutes
when I know more about this?

- Sure.
- I'll do that. Great. Bye.

This so can't be happening.

Unbelievable...

Christian: Excuse me,
could you help me?

No?

- Could you give me a hand?
- Sorry...

Christian: Excuse me.

Hi. Can you...

Hey, hey. I need your help.

Can you help me, please.

Can you please help me.

Yes, you.
Can you help me, please.

Can you please come with me.

Please come.

Come. Come. Come on.

I need help.

Thank you.

Just...

Um, and just wait.

Just wait here.

My daughters are missing.

So I'm gonna go look for them.

If they come back here,

please tell them
that I will be right back.

And just watch... the bags.

And my daughters,
if they come,

tell them I'll be here
in five minutes.

Yeah. Thank you.

"These people must die in hell.

If I meet them on the street, i
will punch them in their faces."

"You make money off of
scaring people shitless."

"Why aren't these people dead?"

- Well, at least
we got people talking.
- He's here.

...have produced this
video with taxpayers' money...

Hello...

Lise: Hi, elna.

And the other thing
they do, that they are
clueless about,

is to attack one of Sweden's

most vulnerable groups,
the beggars.

People who sit day
and night outside shops.

A video like this is pissing
straight on their faces.

What's really sick is that
my 6-year-old daughter...

- Could you turn that off?
- ...Sees body parts flying...

Who's that idiot?

Elna, this is an opportunity
to take a stand.

We, as a museum, mustn't
be afraid to push boundaries.

To transcend
all kinds of taboos.

Nothing should stand in the way
of freedom of expression.

That's my conviction.
It's something to stand up for.

Without a doubt.

Elna: Babybjorn...

Do you think they'll want
to donate money to this museum?

You do realize

that I didn't have anything
to do with this video?

- I didn't make it...
- That's totally irrelevant.

Really.

I have a board meeting
to attend.

And I want to make sure
that you will comply

with any decisions we make.

Well, that depends
on what we're talking about.

That would be decisions related
to the consequences of all this.

- Elna: Obviously.
- Okay.

Good.

Girls, if you want to draw,

there are some crayons
over there.

- No...
- You don't want to? Why not?

Elna: One more thing.
We need new press photos of you.

- What for?
- On the ones we have,
you're smiling.

Elna: Welcome.

Christian?

Keep in mind that they
don't know about the clip.

Man : I'm
asking for your utmost caution

during this performance.

- What's happening?
- This will be exciting!

Welcome to the jungle.

Soon you will be confronted
by a wild animal.

As you all know,
the hunting instinct

is triggered by weakness.

If you show fear,
the animal will sense it.

If you try to escape,
the animal will hunt you down.

But if you remain
perfectly still,

without moving a muscle,

the animal
might not notice you.

And you can hide in the herd,

safe in the knowledge that
someone else will be the prey.

Woman: What's going on?

- This is rather fierce.
- Yes.

Hello.

Stop.

- Stop.

Very funny.

Go on, go away.

Go away.

- Come on.

Man: Okay...

Let's have a round of
applause... for Oleg rogozjin.

- Amazing!

- Great! Thank you very much.

- Oleg, I just said that...

- I'm just saying that...

I'm just saying...

Woman: No.

Help...

Hey...

That hurts a bit...

Hello? Help...

Fredrik, could you help me?

Okay... help!

Stop it! Hey! Stop it!

You bastard!

Kill him, for god's sake!

Are you Christian?

Are you Christian?

Lise: Daddy?

Why don't you go upstairs?
This won't take long.

You can wait outside.

- What are you doing here?
- You put this in our letterbox.

- My parents think I'm a thief.
- You shouldn't be here.

Yes, I should.
And you should apologize.

Listen to me,
you shouldn't be here.

This is just weird.
You have to leave.

- Stay here. Hey!
- No.

Hey...

- Hey, stop!
- Don't shout,
people are sleeping.

If you apologize, I'll go.

Listen carefully to me...

I'm really sorry
if my letter caused you trouble.

This has nothing to do with you.
Please, let me finish...

It was nothing personal.

All I wanted was to
get my stuff back.

- What are you doing?
- Good night. Go now.

Stop!

Hey! Stop!

What are you doing?
Beat it!

- Hey!
- Stop this.

No. Apologize to me
and my family!

Stop shouting!
Stop this and get out!

I will smack you one,
believe me.

I'm counting to three.
One, two...

Get out.

Get out!

Let's go inside.

What are you doing?
Don't do that!

Stop doing that!

Stop it!

You called me a thief,
so I'm making chaos with you!

Christian: Stop this...

No! Don't you...

- They're my neighbors! Get out!
- Boy: Help me!

- Hello? Hello?
- Beat it!

Why didn't you listen to me?

You should have listened.

Right? Now go home.

Go home.

All right, go
and brush your teeth.

Go on, brush your teeth...
Shoes off first.

Help!

Boy : Help!

- Hello?
- Help me...

Is there anyone here?

Hello?

Help!

Here we go... yes.

Help me!

Help!

Help me...

Help!

Help me...

Help...

Voicemail: The person
you're trying to reach

is not available...

Uh, hi...

You can probably
see who this is.

We just met on my stairwell.

I tried to call,
but I couldn't get through.

So now I'm making
this video instead.

Because you're absolutely right.

I apologize for
the rotten thing I did.

I accused you
of being a thief.

Please show this
to your parents,

so they'll know you are
not a thief.

The note said you stole
my phone and my wallet,

but that wasn't true.

I want to emphasize
that this is simply not true.

So I'd like to apologize.
It was a bad thing to do.

It was so selfish of me.

Careless and prejudiced
and I'm...

Looking back, I should have
gone into your building,

knocked on the doors
and asked a simple question.

But that never
occurred to me, because...

Well, honestly,
i was too afraid.

Afraid of the people who live...

Afraid of the people I picture
living in a building like yours.

Those negative expectations
say something about me.

They say something
about our society,

because I'm sure I'm not
the only one who's prejudiced...

You have preconceptions
about us too,

probably because
our lives are so different.

So suddenly,
it comes down to politics

and the distribution of assets.

Because these problems can't
be solved by individuals alone.

Society needs to lend a hand
too. It's not enough

that I admit I was wrong
and apologize to you in a video.

There are bigger,
structural problems

involved that society
needs to deal with.

I actually know
one of the 291 people

who own more than 50%
of the world's wealth.

A guy like that could fix
all this in an instant.

Voicemail: Hi, you've
called Christian.

I can't pick up my phone
right now,

but please leave a message
and I'll get back to you.

Woman: Welcome...

We have...

We have called
this press conference

in response to a certain video
circulating on the Internet.

We believe that it's the best
way to deal with your questions.

This session will be led by
our chief curator,

Christian juel Nielsen.

Hello.

Well, as previously stated...

We are here
to discuss the video clip

published on the museum website
and on our YouTube channel.

We have received a massive
amount of messages

and indignant responses

with regard to this video,
and this pains us.

- Could you please speak up?
- Yes, certainly.

We're very sorry
to have caused this commotion,

particularly since this clip
was published by mistake.

This museum has
clearly defined procedures.

It's my role to supervise
all our communications

and marketing efforts.

In this particular case, I did
not fully comply with protocol,

and this video was published
without my knowledge.

I have acted
irresponsibly in this matter,

and have therefore,
in accord with our board,

decided to step down.

- Are you saying that
you're resigning?
- Yes.

- When?
- As soon as possible.

- Were you sacked?
- No, it was
a unanimous decision.

We felt that it would be
the best solution.

Define "we".

That would be myself,
our management and our board.

Where is your solidarity
with the voiceless

and the vulnerable
members of society?

Where is your solidarity
with the voiceless

and the vulnerable
members of society?

You should be ashamed
of yourself!

Man: That's total bullshit...

You started out by saying
that you and the museum board

agreed that you should resign.

Yes, that was our decision.

This is not the image
we wish to project.

So you've reached the limit
for how much freedom of speech

you can handle?

You've hit the ceiling
in terms of communication?

Do you personally believe
that you crossed a line?

I believe that freedom of speech

comes with certain
responsibilities.

You must consider
what you express.

But is it up to you
to limit free speech?

Isn't such self-censorship
cause for concern?

- You're in a powerful position.
- The decision was not all mine.

But you took part
in this decision.

You have clearly expressed
that this clip

was so distasteful that you
feel obligated to resign.

I made a mistake, the clip was
published without my approval.

So that's where you draw the
line? A fictional girl gets...

No, it isn't. Like I said,
this has nothing to do

with my own opinions.

You're putting a cap
on free speech!

These are not
my personal opinions.

We're talking about the museum
and my professional role.

What is it you don't
understand about that?

This is a highly alarming future

you're creating for our society.

Quite frankly, it sucks!

Christian... Christian?

I have questions
about the content of the clip.

How did the choice fall on
a blonde beggar girl exploding?

This just came
from the PR agency.

If you wanted to draw parallels
to the poverty in the eu,

why not have
a dark-haired child?

How do you respond to that?

As I was trying to explain,

I have not dealt responsibly...

- Answer the question!
- I just received a message...

...that might shed
some light on this.

I hope so.

It's a statement from
our marketing department

and the agency we used.

"We want to emphasize
that the clip

published on the museum's
website and YouTube channel

in no way expresses
the standpoint of the museum."

"The clip was produced
in sheer speculation to generate

attention for
an upcoming exhibition."

- So it's all speculation?
- What exhibition is that?

- Will you be blowing up kids?

What kind of exhibition is it?

To best explain
the theme of the exhibition,

I'll quote the artist's
manifesto, which goes something
like this:

"The square is a sanctuary
of trust and caring.

Within it, we all share
equal rights and obligations."

- Could you repeat that?
- Quiet, let him talk.

"The square is a sanctuary
of trust and caring.

Within it, we all share
equal rights and obligations."

- What's the name of the artist?
- Lola arias.

- Repeat her last name, please.
- A-r-i-a-s.

All the press material
is on our website.

- Including photos
of Lola arias?
- Yes, in high-resolution.

Both of the artist
and of some of her work.

There is an extensive press kit
to download there.

Museum speculates in disgusting
details to grab attention

imam, priest and rabbi:
Stand united against PR campaign

here is the exhibition
they wanted to launch

announcer: The coaches are
therese Johansson,

yasemin beyasit,
and Josephine kalmlund.

And here come the "bobcats"!

Great! Let's go for it!

Go, girls!

Girls' coach: Hey guys,
great job today.

Good teamwork.
Way to work together.

Really, really proud
of you girls.

Hey Ellen, listen.

What's with your attitude?

Look at me.

Sitting there feeling sorry
for yourself isn't gonna help.

Okay? Stop wasting your energy
on those thoughts.

Use it to help the team.

You guys, if you mess up,
correct it and move on.

Feeling guilt isn't
gonna help you.

Okay?
How do you feel?

How do you feel?

All right.
Go ahead and take your showers.

Very good.

Hey, where are we going?

Christian:
I'll explain in a minute.

Remember that boy who was
waiting for us the other night?

He lives over there.
I need to talk to him.

It will only take ten minutes.
Twenty, tops.

You don't mind
waiting in the car, do you?

Is that okay?

Daddy?

Daddy!

What is it?

Could we come along too?

- Well, if she wants to.
- Do you?

Sure, let's go.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Hello... sorry to bother you.
My name is Christian.

This may sound a bit crazy,
but I was hoping...

Did you happen to get a letter
accusing you of being a thief?

Claiming that you stole
a phone and a wallet?

- Tenant: Pardon?
- A letter.

Accusing you of being a thief.

- What did you say I got?
- A letter with a weird message.

- Tenant: In my letterbox?
- Christian: Yes.

I put them through
all the slots in this building.

Tenant: I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Christian: Could anyone else
in your household have found it?

My ex-wife comes around
to clean.

She throws away any mail
that doesn't have my name on it.

I have one more question...

Are there any kids living
in this building?

- Sure, why do you ask?
- I'm looking for a boy.

He's, like, ten or 12...
Pitch-black hair.

About this tall?
Really dark hair...

- Ten, 13-years old...
- That's right.

Does he live here?

Tenant: He used to.
I haven't seen him around.

- The family used to live here?
- I think they moved.

I see...

- Do you know where they moved?
- No, not a clue.

I'm afraid I can't help you.

- Okay.
- Bye.
