Beginnings (2025) Movie Script
Hi.
- Good day!
- Hi.
- Here, Malthe!
- Come on.
There you go.
Nice one, Tobias!
- I'm with you, Jon! Same side!
- Cross it!
- Yes!
- That's it!
Hi, Ulla.
I thought I could avoid you.
- Will you send me something later?
- Tomorrow. I have the final corrections.
Good morning.
It's 10:15, and we'll continue
our discussion about carbohydrates.
You fucking pig!
- Disgusting!
- You bitch, it was a joke.
It was a joke!
Hey!
- He's a fucking jerk!
- You stay here.
You stay here.
What's going on?
That's not okay, right?
Tobias, damn it.
Breathe.
Breathe.
- When did you get off?
- Ten minutes ago. You're late.
- Oh God, I'm sorry.
- What the hell are you doing?
- Can't I come home with you then?
- Okay, you can.
- Do you want this in the bowl?
- Just make it how you want.
She said she didn't know anything,
but I don't know if I believe that.
Especially because she trains with the little ones,
so they're together all the time.
- So she should know.
- Shouldn't you do that too?
- Train the little ones?
- Yeah, you could do that.
No... I don't have time for that.
I train myself. It's a shitty job.
Oh, really?
And I want to go to the competition,
and there will be scouts.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Plus I'm still behind after the injury.
- You're not in pain anymore, right?
- It smells lovely.
- There's something over there.
You're quite late.
Mom and I made food.
Worked hard.
- Will you bring the paper towel?
- Yes.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
How's it going? Was it a good practice?
Nemo seems to
be doing much better now.
- What did you do to him?
- Nothing.
Nothing? Maybe you talked
to him a little extra?
Maybe.
Come.
Sit down.
There you go.
And I mean sleep.
- Right?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
How far along are you with the article?
Last read-through,
and then it goes off to Ulla.
Wow.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Have you figured out when you're moving?
I'm moving as soon as
we've talked to the kids.
- Yeah, that was the agreement.
- It was.
- When should we talk to the kids then?
- We could probably talk about that now.
Fine.
- Good. What do you think?
- I don't have an opinion on it.
- I just want to get it over with.
- I want that too.
- You have plenty of opinions.
- What do you mean?
- Otherwise you wouldn't bring it up.
- I don't want to argue, Thomas.
I can't handle it.
Have you figured out where you're moving?
We're looking at a sublease downtown.
Exciting. That's nice.
What about you? Did you sort it out with the bank?
They want to have the house appraised
before they can approve the loan, so...
So...?
Shouldn't the kids know you're moving
before an appraiser comes?
- No.
- No?
We can't talk to them until we know
what their lives will look like.
You need to know
if you can stay or not.
We can't start that
before we've told the kids.
We can't talk to the kids
before we know if they can stay.
We have to do it properly.
We've agreed on that all along.
- Then you fucking need to step up.
- What the hell do you mean?
- You stop right now!
- We can just sell the house.
You have your head up your own ass.
I'm trying to think of what's best for everyone.
You're not doing anything.
That's so mean to say.
You're so irresponsible, so conflict-avoidant.
A huge idiot.
- Congratulations. Mirror.
- A huge idiot.
- Are you out?
- Yeah, I'm a little busy.
Oh yeah, I can see that.
I'll pick you up after practice.
- And you have snacks for the team?
- Yeah, I bought treats.
- Good morning, sweetie.
- Don't call me that.
- What should I call you then?
- Marie.
- Marie? Isn't that a bit boring?
- No.
- Silly.
- Want to come? Come.
- Bye. Have a good day!
- See you.
Put your jacket on.
Ane?
Ane!
What's going on? Why are you lying here?
Hi, Ane. My name is Andrea.
I'm a doctor in the neurology department.
Are you there?
We need to get some equipment on you,
and then I'll examine you.
I need a little support.
Can you hold this for me?
- You need to go into a scanner.
- There.
Marie, can you turn that down?
It's incredibly annoying to listen to.
- How can you even play right now?
- Clara, just leave her alone.
Turn it down a bit.
Hi, Ane.
Look who I brought.
Come on.
- Someone wants to say hi.
- Mom...
Fuck.
Keep looking at my nose.
Can you see my hands in your periphery?
Can you see me moving a hand?
Yes.
There? Okay.
Yes.
How is your arm doing?
Have you been able to move it?
- No...
- Can you try to lift it for me?
Okay. I'll just take it.
Can you bend your arm?
Okay, that's difficult.
What about your fingers?
Yes... a little bit.
What about the other arm?
Can it move?
It can. That's fine. Thanks.
Yes...
I'll just take the cotton swab.
Can you feel me touching you?
Ane? Can you feel
me touching you on the right side?
- Yes.
- Can you feel it over on the left side?
- Can you feel me touching you here?
- Yes.
What about over here?
No.
Ane, you've had a blood clot in your brain.
It's here on the right side, and it makes
your left side partially paralyzed.
And when I examine your field of vision,
you're not as attentive to the left.
But it will pass, right?
The damage you've suffered in your brain
is of such a size -
- that you won't completely
return to where you were.
It's not going to
be completely normal again.
But we will help you.
It will be okay, Ane.
Yes.
Come on.
There.
Come here.
- Goodnight, honey.
- Goodnight.
Well done!
Then you need to lean your upper body forward a bit.
Yes, exactly.
Then you have weight on your legs.
- I'll just hold on.
- You just hold on to me.
Good.
Good. And then you walk.
Left foot forward, come on.
Good.
Next stop: Bredholtvej.
Yes, that's great.
Like that.
I'll just put it down again.
There.
Well, there you are.
Why are you sitting here?
Why aren't you in with Mom?
Because she's a little weird.
Yes, but you can't come in here
without us agreeing on it first.
Then I get worried.
Can't you see that?
Should we go in and say hi to her?
No.
Okay.
I'll go in and say hi to Mom,
and then we'll go home afterwards.
Who is Stine?
- What did you say?
- Stine.
Why do you ask about that?
Because she sends you a lot of text messages.
Yes, that's Stine from work.
I'm going in to Mom. You stay here,
and then we'll leave in five minutes.
- Okay.
- Okay.
How often do they check on you?
I don't know.
- No, but you've had lunch?
- Yes, yes. I'm not that hungry.
No.
They're sending me home soon.
I don't know what they're imagining.
I can't even...
I think it's best that I
stay living here until you get better.
Right? I can't move now.
You can stay living here until I start
working again and get better.
Let's say that.
Marie!
- Hi, Morten.
- Hi, Thomas. Welcome back.
Thanks. Hi, Tobias.
Have you eaten breakfast?
- No.
- Shouldn't we eat together then?
- Two seconds.
- See you in there.
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
- Holy shit, what a shock.
- Yes, huge shock.
- Are you okay?
- Yes, it's great to be back.
Hi, Thomas.
It's good to see you.
Just to think about something else,
get out a bit and meet you guys.
- Do you want some coffee?
- Yes, definitely.
- I think it's cool here.
- I also think it's super cool here.
Can you handle it?
Yes. Can you handle it?
Yes.
Okay.
Then I think you should move in,
and then I'll come as soon as I can.
Yes.
Ane?
- Hello, I'm Bjrn.
- Hello.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah, you could say that.
There. We're going this way.
Can you help me a bit?
Good, Ane.
- Let's get you up and walking.
- Okay.
If you grab here with your right...
I'll help you. Good.
Let's start with the right foot.
Very good. Like that, Ane.
And a step with the right.
Thomas?
Hurry up...
Could you hand me that?
I really need to pee.
Thank you.
I can't.
I can't...
No...
I'll just take your panties off.
Can you lift your leg? And the other.
There. I'll put them in the wash, okay?
Should I wash you?
- No, don't wash me.
- Do you want to sit down?
I don't want it!
Don't do it. Stop it.
You're not my nurse.
- I just want to help you.
- Get out!
Clara, what are you doing?
Come on.
I think the potatoes
might be a bit overcooked.
- I think they taste good.
- Oh, that's good.
- Do you think so too?
- Yeah.
Should I help you cut it?
- No.
- Okay.
- Did morning rehab go well?
- It went okay.
I have some issues with my balance,
but otherwise fine.
What?
It's maybe not very nice
that you complain about your balance.
What do you mean?
Just look at
the problems I'm struggling with.
Sorry then, Mom.
Do you think you're better than me?
Is that what you're thinking?
- That you can do everything? And I can do nothing?
- Dad asked me a question.
You always turn it into something
I can't do.
You talk about balance!
You know I can't stand
on my own two feet!
What are you staring at?
Am I eating the wrong way now too?
Is that a problem for you?
Should I eat like this instead?
Stop it!
Ane, stop that!
What are you doing?
Stop it!
Marie, go to your room.
I'll be there in a minute.
What the hell are you doing?
- You can't fucking do that!
- I need to take this off.
Wipe your mouth first.
You have remoulade all over your face.
- I need to take this off.
- You have to ask for help.
I can't know
what you're thinking and what you want.
Take it off!
Sorry.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
It's not me
you should apologize to.
I can't do this.
I can't.
Come on. I've got you.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Good.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Do you want to try floating a bit?
- Maybe.
Okay. I'm right here if you need me.
Like that. Really good.
How does it feel?
It's actually really nice.
- Did you eat it?
- No.
Maybe it's here.
- I can't find...
- You've come so far.
- Look, that one looks a bit like broccoli.
- Yeah, it does.
You finished the bird.
A piece is broken,
and we can't find the rest of it.
- I can see that.
- I think Marie ate it.
- That's not true.
- You did.
No, I didn't.
And again. Yes, come on.
Last one. Good, Ane.
- How does it feel?
- I'll just go over here.
- I want to try it myself.
- Okay.
Ane, you have a ladybug in your hair.
Should I get it?
Look.
Should it go on your nose?
- Hi!
- Hi! Congratulations.
Thanks. It's so nice
that you came!
Hi. Congratulations.
- Hi!
- Hi, girls. Come on in.
- You look so nice.
- Thanks.
Can you handle it?
- Hi!
- Hi, Dad.
Hi, John. Good to see you.
You can hug. Just go for it.
- There.
- Nice to see you.
...to Florida, before the little one comes.
We haven't seen my sister in a year,
so it'll be really great.
That sounds lovely.
They also talked about the southern tip
of Langeland. You can almost walk...
What about you, Ane?
What are your plans for the summer?
We don't have any plans yet.
You also need some time to process
everything that's happened.
- When do you go back to work?
- I don't know.
I'm going there soon
because my article is being published.
Then we'll see
if they want me back.
- You look damn good, though.
- Thanks, John. That's sweet of you.
- Are you still doing rehab?
- Yes, almost every day.
It's a terrible mess.
- Come on, John!
- Well, it is.
Yeah, it wasn't exactly
what we had in mind...
No.
What about you? Did you take the train?
- Don't even ask.
- Why not?
Because they've damn well removed
all the toilets from the stations.
I don't know what they're thinking!
She squatted and peed right there.
At the station?
I really had to pee, so I went
around the corner and found a good spot.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
I know all about that.
- You can't just close a toilet.
- And you have to pay for the ones left.
We're almost done! Come on!
Yes! Like that!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Having a good time?
- Yeah. You?
Yeah, definitely.
I just sent
my dad home in a cab.
Was he drunk?
He was sleeping under the table
in the kitchen.
Really.
He just wanted to stay there.
He's so sweet.
Let me help you
with the necklace.
- You need to move my leg.
- Should I move it?
There.
Hi, Marie.
- Nina got really drunk yesterday.
- She wasn't the only one, right?
Do you realize how much you snored
in the cab? The driver got worried.
- I was just sleeping.
- He wasn't sure he wanted to drive us.
Yeah, you were sleeping.
'Is she dead?' we thought.
- You don't snore if you're dead.
- No.
But did you hear how much she snored?
We got a little worried.
- Are you wearing perfume?
- Yeah, a little bit.
- It smells good.
- Thanks.
Perfect bacon. Well done.
What do you think I am?
Serious, honest, faithful, loving...
- You can take a look.
- Okay. Have you looked at it?
Yummy larvae...
Two of them.
Well, what do we say?
Cozy? Definitely.
- Festive... What does it say?
- Should we describe you?
- I'm taking off now.
- Where are you going?
I have a night shift.
There's food in the fridge
you can just heat up.
- Should I heat it before I go?
- No, no, we can handle that.
We'll help each other.
Have a good shift.
Thanks.
- No, not positive.
- You are positive, sometimes.
I can't see the difference.
- Well, it's a bit shorter.
- It's the small one I need here.
I actually saw a sofa bed
that I thought -
- would be really good
to put in Clara's room.
I thought she should have the one by
the bathroom because it's the biggest.
She's probably the one
who has the most overnight guests.
And then...
I mean, it's not now...
It's only when Ane is well,
and there's room to tell it.
But it would be cool
if it was all ready.
There.
And this one...
Come on.
Like that.
I can do that.
There.
- Are you already home?
- Yeah.
- Are the kids home?
- No.
How was your night shift?
- Wait, stop...
- I've been working out with Bjrn.
- This arm is completely wrecked.
- Does it hurt there?
You're very tense.
- Is it good?
- Yeah.
- Can you help me up?
- Yeah.
- One, two, three.
- There.
- Will you just...
- Yeah.
- What are you laughing at?
- Nothing.
What are you laughing at?
Nothing.
Do a backbend.
- That did something.
- In your back?
The football back.
- Hi.
- It's so great to see you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry I'm a bit late.
It takes time to get out the door.
- And look here.
- Well, now something is happening.
- Congratulations on the article.
- In print and everything.
Well, where is it...
- Congratulations.
- Great work.
- It's really good.
- Thanks.
- Congratulations.
- Good thing you stuck with it.
Hi.
Remember that Jon knows exactly
what to do to piss Tobias off.
Thomas, with all due respect,
you don't see most of it.
Tobias can only behave responsibly
when his contact person is present.
- It's unsustainable.
- No more than passing him on.
That would be a defeat
for all of us.
Just look.
I'll try again.
- Are you okay?
- Me?
I really don't know.
- Maybe.
- Okay.
Honey? Unfortunately, we can't
eat together tonight after all.
Ane called,
and she got her article published.
So she wants
the family to get together.
- Oh, okay.
- With the kids.
Yes.
Yes, but I guess it has to be that way.
Yes, unfortunately it is.
Is that okay?
Yes, yes, it's fine.
Shouldn't I be okay with it,
or what?
Yes, yes... of course.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You seem a little weird.
- Have you got your split yet?
- No, it goes best with the right leg.
I can't go down on the left either.
- Are you driving home?
- Yes.
My mom is picking me up,
but she has to go shopping.
Then I'll just tag along.
Girls? Josephine, Clara and Freja?
You've got the next competition.
Really well done, girls.
- That's so good.
- Congratulations!
I've been in such good shape
the last three months.
And you've hardly had
any problems with your injury.
You are so cool, girls.
Are you eating with us tonight?
Maybe.
I'll figure it out.
That would be super cozy.
Well, then we have to go home and make some food.
Are you coming, Clara?
How beautiful.
It's also very nicely set up.
I don't know if...
Can a clownfish
be with that species?
Oh, there it is:
Ane.
Hello, hello!
We can't have
Nemo going to war and pulling out his saber.
- Nemo wouldn't go to war.
- He might.
- Look! It's mom's article.
- Did training drag on?
Freja and I just had
some school stuff.
Now I would like to serve
the champagne, which has been waiting.
- Thank you.
- Do you want a glass?
- I have training tomorrow.
- A little splash?
- Can't I just have some cola?
- Yes, of course.
You're not keen on
giving any of your cola away.
So let's say cheers to Ane Justesen
and her beautiful new article.
Oh, I have to tell you one more thing.
I talked to Ulla
at the university, and she said -
- that I can probably soon
start teaching again.
Yes.
I must say.
That's damn nice.
- That's a bigger reason to celebrate.
- That's a double toast.
- Another toast!
- One, two, three, four, five.
Do you have anything
we should toast to, Marie?
- I've learned to eat cilantro.
- That totally needs to be celebrated.
- Then we need a clink.
- First the university and then cilantro.
- Well, now it's...
- Now we eat.
These are for you. None of
the rest of us want them.
- Clara, aren't you having any?
- No.
Is it okay if I go sit down?
I'm really tired.
Oh, look how much I bought.
All your favorites.
- We have to celebrate mom.
- Are you sick?
No, I...
I'm just tired.
- Can't you just sit with the rest of us?
- Fine.
Is something wrong, Clara?
Clara?
No, there's nothing.
Are you sure?
There's nothing wrong.
Hi, honey.
I thought you didn't get off
until this afternoon.
- Hi.
- Hi, Clara.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yes. Thanks.
- It's cozy here.
- Yes. Thanks.
There's obviously a little missing, but...
Thomas hasn't said at all
that he's talked to you and Marie.
Won't you sit down?
Yes, but can I
just use the bathroom first?
Yes, of course. It's down the hall
and the second door on the right.
I actually have to go to school now.
It was nice to meet you.
- You too, Clara. See you.
- Bye.
So it's completely finished.
Ane?
- Hi.
- Do you have time?
What's happening?
Clara has been over at Stine's
and rang the doorbell.
- Did you tell her where we live?
- Of course I didn't!
- Where is she now?
- She turned off her phone.
I can't get hold of her.
It's so far out.
She came and rang the doorbell at Stine's.
And then she pissed in our bed.
She peed in our bed.
Do you realize
how humiliating that is for Stine?
Stine has been accommodating and has
shown understanding for our family.
- She's never interfered in anything.
- She's interfered a little.
What the hell were you thinking?
That you could juggle two lives?
No, I don't want two lives!
But Clara peeing in my bed...
I don't know what to do!
Should I leave Stine?
Is it best if I come home
to you and the kids?
I think you should move now.
I'm not your charity project.
Now Clara knows, and I'll tell
Marie, and then you're moving.
That was the point, wasn't it?
I don't know if this was the point.
This isn't working.
No.
Fine.
Yeah.
But that's how you feel too.
I don't know how you feel,
but forget it. Just go. Or I will.
It's fine, Freja. I just wanted to know
if Clara was with you.
No, no, you don't have to.
Her phone's probably just on silent.
Yes, please do.
There was some trouble last night.
The police just left.
- Jon's been hospitalized.
- Why?
Tobias poured chlorine in his eyes.
He might be blind in one eye.
- Where's Tobias now?
- He's in the hall.
Hey, Tobias? Tobias!
I need to talk to you!
Please come with me.
I need to talk to you.
Let go!
Do you realize what he's done?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why are you sitting out here?
- Where have you been?
- Nowhere.
Come on.
- Hi.
- Why didn't you answer your phone?
It died.
Are you okay?
Did you know they were together?
Yeah.
Come on.
If you need to pee,
there's plenty of room in the garden.
- It's not funny, Mom.
- Yes, it is.
And then I bought this one.
It's a really nice blush.
It's called 'Sunshine',
I think, and I saw it in...
You good, Marie? Good.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
You guys are busy.
- Who's doing laundry?
- Me.
- You don't know how to do that.
- Yes, I do.
Food's almost ready,
so you can just sit down.
That's very sweet of you, but I'm not
a helpless child. I'm your mother.
We're helping each other out.
Right?
You're late.
Everyone else has left.
I just had something to practice.
- Hey, Marie.
- Hi.
- You drove here?
- Yeah, I wanted to surprise you.
- It's going pretty well, right, Marie?
- Yeah.
- I didn't think you were allowed to drive.
- Yeah, it's no problem.
Get in.
It's going pretty well, right?
- How did it go today?
- It went well.
- I've figured out the balance thing.
- Good!
And my coach was happy, or whatever you
call it when she doesn't yell at me.
You're so good.
- Maybe.
- You are.
Thanks.
Mom, I think
you're a bit in the middle of the road.
No, it's fine.
- You need to go a bit to the right.
- I don't know what you mean.
Mom, can't you see
you're in the middle of the road?
You're stressing me out.
Mom, you're still doing it!
Mom, come on. Please!
- Then tell me what to do!
- Watch out! Turn!
Hey...
Come here.
Honey...
That's quite a bruise
you've got there.
- Does it hurt?
- Yeah, a little.
- Where's Clara?
- She's getting an X-ray.
Come on.
Are you okay?
Do you need some painkillers?
No, I'm fine.
- Where's Mom anyway?
- That's a good question.
- Maybe she's sleeping.
- I want to sleep with Clara.
- Can Marie sleep in your room?
- Yeah, of course.
Okay, we'll do that.
We'll do it that way.
Should I help you with your clothes?
You can just sleep in that T-shirt.
- Sleep well.
- You too.
I just need to...
You know
you're not allowed to drive, right?
I just don't really understand...
You need to explain
what you were thinking -
- when you got in the car
and drove with them.
I just really wanted to pick her up.
But you can't.
And you could have...
I...
You know you might not
be completely okay in the head?
- Why do you say that?
- Since you make brain-dead decisions.
About driving
when you know you're not allowed to.
Don't you understand anything?
No, what is it I need to understand?
I'll go lie down and sleep here,
and then we can chat tomorrow.
What do you want with me?
- What do you mean?
- What do you want with me?
Why do you keep being here?
Why do you come back?
You've moved.
You can't just come in and out and leave.
I can't take it.
Now I think you should go,
because you've moved.
And that's fine.
You don't live here anymore.
Go now.
Sorry.
I just don't quite know
how to be your mother now.
Lie down and sleep.
It's okay.
- Aren't you coming to bed?
- Yes.
Come on, Jose!
Oneliner
- Good day!
- Hi.
- Here, Malthe!
- Come on.
There you go.
Nice one, Tobias!
- I'm with you, Jon! Same side!
- Cross it!
- Yes!
- That's it!
Hi, Ulla.
I thought I could avoid you.
- Will you send me something later?
- Tomorrow. I have the final corrections.
Good morning.
It's 10:15, and we'll continue
our discussion about carbohydrates.
You fucking pig!
- Disgusting!
- You bitch, it was a joke.
It was a joke!
Hey!
- He's a fucking jerk!
- You stay here.
You stay here.
What's going on?
That's not okay, right?
Tobias, damn it.
Breathe.
Breathe.
- When did you get off?
- Ten minutes ago. You're late.
- Oh God, I'm sorry.
- What the hell are you doing?
- Can't I come home with you then?
- Okay, you can.
- Do you want this in the bowl?
- Just make it how you want.
She said she didn't know anything,
but I don't know if I believe that.
Especially because she trains with the little ones,
so they're together all the time.
- So she should know.
- Shouldn't you do that too?
- Train the little ones?
- Yeah, you could do that.
No... I don't have time for that.
I train myself. It's a shitty job.
Oh, really?
And I want to go to the competition,
and there will be scouts.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Plus I'm still behind after the injury.
- You're not in pain anymore, right?
- It smells lovely.
- There's something over there.
You're quite late.
Mom and I made food.
Worked hard.
- Will you bring the paper towel?
- Yes.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
How's it going? Was it a good practice?
Nemo seems to
be doing much better now.
- What did you do to him?
- Nothing.
Nothing? Maybe you talked
to him a little extra?
Maybe.
Come.
Sit down.
There you go.
And I mean sleep.
- Right?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
How far along are you with the article?
Last read-through,
and then it goes off to Ulla.
Wow.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Have you figured out when you're moving?
I'm moving as soon as
we've talked to the kids.
- Yeah, that was the agreement.
- It was.
- When should we talk to the kids then?
- We could probably talk about that now.
Fine.
- Good. What do you think?
- I don't have an opinion on it.
- I just want to get it over with.
- I want that too.
- You have plenty of opinions.
- What do you mean?
- Otherwise you wouldn't bring it up.
- I don't want to argue, Thomas.
I can't handle it.
Have you figured out where you're moving?
We're looking at a sublease downtown.
Exciting. That's nice.
What about you? Did you sort it out with the bank?
They want to have the house appraised
before they can approve the loan, so...
So...?
Shouldn't the kids know you're moving
before an appraiser comes?
- No.
- No?
We can't talk to them until we know
what their lives will look like.
You need to know
if you can stay or not.
We can't start that
before we've told the kids.
We can't talk to the kids
before we know if they can stay.
We have to do it properly.
We've agreed on that all along.
- Then you fucking need to step up.
- What the hell do you mean?
- You stop right now!
- We can just sell the house.
You have your head up your own ass.
I'm trying to think of what's best for everyone.
You're not doing anything.
That's so mean to say.
You're so irresponsible, so conflict-avoidant.
A huge idiot.
- Congratulations. Mirror.
- A huge idiot.
- Are you out?
- Yeah, I'm a little busy.
Oh yeah, I can see that.
I'll pick you up after practice.
- And you have snacks for the team?
- Yeah, I bought treats.
- Good morning, sweetie.
- Don't call me that.
- What should I call you then?
- Marie.
- Marie? Isn't that a bit boring?
- No.
- Silly.
- Want to come? Come.
- Bye. Have a good day!
- See you.
Put your jacket on.
Ane?
Ane!
What's going on? Why are you lying here?
Hi, Ane. My name is Andrea.
I'm a doctor in the neurology department.
Are you there?
We need to get some equipment on you,
and then I'll examine you.
I need a little support.
Can you hold this for me?
- You need to go into a scanner.
- There.
Marie, can you turn that down?
It's incredibly annoying to listen to.
- How can you even play right now?
- Clara, just leave her alone.
Turn it down a bit.
Hi, Ane.
Look who I brought.
Come on.
- Someone wants to say hi.
- Mom...
Fuck.
Keep looking at my nose.
Can you see my hands in your periphery?
Can you see me moving a hand?
Yes.
There? Okay.
Yes.
How is your arm doing?
Have you been able to move it?
- No...
- Can you try to lift it for me?
Okay. I'll just take it.
Can you bend your arm?
Okay, that's difficult.
What about your fingers?
Yes... a little bit.
What about the other arm?
Can it move?
It can. That's fine. Thanks.
Yes...
I'll just take the cotton swab.
Can you feel me touching you?
Ane? Can you feel
me touching you on the right side?
- Yes.
- Can you feel it over on the left side?
- Can you feel me touching you here?
- Yes.
What about over here?
No.
Ane, you've had a blood clot in your brain.
It's here on the right side, and it makes
your left side partially paralyzed.
And when I examine your field of vision,
you're not as attentive to the left.
But it will pass, right?
The damage you've suffered in your brain
is of such a size -
- that you won't completely
return to where you were.
It's not going to
be completely normal again.
But we will help you.
It will be okay, Ane.
Yes.
Come on.
There.
Come here.
- Goodnight, honey.
- Goodnight.
Well done!
Then you need to lean your upper body forward a bit.
Yes, exactly.
Then you have weight on your legs.
- I'll just hold on.
- You just hold on to me.
Good.
Good. And then you walk.
Left foot forward, come on.
Good.
Next stop: Bredholtvej.
Yes, that's great.
Like that.
I'll just put it down again.
There.
Well, there you are.
Why are you sitting here?
Why aren't you in with Mom?
Because she's a little weird.
Yes, but you can't come in here
without us agreeing on it first.
Then I get worried.
Can't you see that?
Should we go in and say hi to her?
No.
Okay.
I'll go in and say hi to Mom,
and then we'll go home afterwards.
Who is Stine?
- What did you say?
- Stine.
Why do you ask about that?
Because she sends you a lot of text messages.
Yes, that's Stine from work.
I'm going in to Mom. You stay here,
and then we'll leave in five minutes.
- Okay.
- Okay.
How often do they check on you?
I don't know.
- No, but you've had lunch?
- Yes, yes. I'm not that hungry.
No.
They're sending me home soon.
I don't know what they're imagining.
I can't even...
I think it's best that I
stay living here until you get better.
Right? I can't move now.
You can stay living here until I start
working again and get better.
Let's say that.
Marie!
- Hi, Morten.
- Hi, Thomas. Welcome back.
Thanks. Hi, Tobias.
Have you eaten breakfast?
- No.
- Shouldn't we eat together then?
- Two seconds.
- See you in there.
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
- Holy shit, what a shock.
- Yes, huge shock.
- Are you okay?
- Yes, it's great to be back.
Hi, Thomas.
It's good to see you.
Just to think about something else,
get out a bit and meet you guys.
- Do you want some coffee?
- Yes, definitely.
- I think it's cool here.
- I also think it's super cool here.
Can you handle it?
Yes. Can you handle it?
Yes.
Okay.
Then I think you should move in,
and then I'll come as soon as I can.
Yes.
Ane?
- Hello, I'm Bjrn.
- Hello.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah, you could say that.
There. We're going this way.
Can you help me a bit?
Good, Ane.
- Let's get you up and walking.
- Okay.
If you grab here with your right...
I'll help you. Good.
Let's start with the right foot.
Very good. Like that, Ane.
And a step with the right.
Thomas?
Hurry up...
Could you hand me that?
I really need to pee.
Thank you.
I can't.
I can't...
No...
I'll just take your panties off.
Can you lift your leg? And the other.
There. I'll put them in the wash, okay?
Should I wash you?
- No, don't wash me.
- Do you want to sit down?
I don't want it!
Don't do it. Stop it.
You're not my nurse.
- I just want to help you.
- Get out!
Clara, what are you doing?
Come on.
I think the potatoes
might be a bit overcooked.
- I think they taste good.
- Oh, that's good.
- Do you think so too?
- Yeah.
Should I help you cut it?
- No.
- Okay.
- Did morning rehab go well?
- It went okay.
I have some issues with my balance,
but otherwise fine.
What?
It's maybe not very nice
that you complain about your balance.
What do you mean?
Just look at
the problems I'm struggling with.
Sorry then, Mom.
Do you think you're better than me?
Is that what you're thinking?
- That you can do everything? And I can do nothing?
- Dad asked me a question.
You always turn it into something
I can't do.
You talk about balance!
You know I can't stand
on my own two feet!
What are you staring at?
Am I eating the wrong way now too?
Is that a problem for you?
Should I eat like this instead?
Stop it!
Ane, stop that!
What are you doing?
Stop it!
Marie, go to your room.
I'll be there in a minute.
What the hell are you doing?
- You can't fucking do that!
- I need to take this off.
Wipe your mouth first.
You have remoulade all over your face.
- I need to take this off.
- You have to ask for help.
I can't know
what you're thinking and what you want.
Take it off!
Sorry.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
It's not me
you should apologize to.
I can't do this.
I can't.
Come on. I've got you.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Good.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Do you want to try floating a bit?
- Maybe.
Okay. I'm right here if you need me.
Like that. Really good.
How does it feel?
It's actually really nice.
- Did you eat it?
- No.
Maybe it's here.
- I can't find...
- You've come so far.
- Look, that one looks a bit like broccoli.
- Yeah, it does.
You finished the bird.
A piece is broken,
and we can't find the rest of it.
- I can see that.
- I think Marie ate it.
- That's not true.
- You did.
No, I didn't.
And again. Yes, come on.
Last one. Good, Ane.
- How does it feel?
- I'll just go over here.
- I want to try it myself.
- Okay.
Ane, you have a ladybug in your hair.
Should I get it?
Look.
Should it go on your nose?
- Hi!
- Hi! Congratulations.
Thanks. It's so nice
that you came!
Hi. Congratulations.
- Hi!
- Hi, girls. Come on in.
- You look so nice.
- Thanks.
Can you handle it?
- Hi!
- Hi, Dad.
Hi, John. Good to see you.
You can hug. Just go for it.
- There.
- Nice to see you.
...to Florida, before the little one comes.
We haven't seen my sister in a year,
so it'll be really great.
That sounds lovely.
They also talked about the southern tip
of Langeland. You can almost walk...
What about you, Ane?
What are your plans for the summer?
We don't have any plans yet.
You also need some time to process
everything that's happened.
- When do you go back to work?
- I don't know.
I'm going there soon
because my article is being published.
Then we'll see
if they want me back.
- You look damn good, though.
- Thanks, John. That's sweet of you.
- Are you still doing rehab?
- Yes, almost every day.
It's a terrible mess.
- Come on, John!
- Well, it is.
Yeah, it wasn't exactly
what we had in mind...
No.
What about you? Did you take the train?
- Don't even ask.
- Why not?
Because they've damn well removed
all the toilets from the stations.
I don't know what they're thinking!
She squatted and peed right there.
At the station?
I really had to pee, so I went
around the corner and found a good spot.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
I know all about that.
- You can't just close a toilet.
- And you have to pay for the ones left.
We're almost done! Come on!
Yes! Like that!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Having a good time?
- Yeah. You?
Yeah, definitely.
I just sent
my dad home in a cab.
Was he drunk?
He was sleeping under the table
in the kitchen.
Really.
He just wanted to stay there.
He's so sweet.
Let me help you
with the necklace.
- You need to move my leg.
- Should I move it?
There.
Hi, Marie.
- Nina got really drunk yesterday.
- She wasn't the only one, right?
Do you realize how much you snored
in the cab? The driver got worried.
- I was just sleeping.
- He wasn't sure he wanted to drive us.
Yeah, you were sleeping.
'Is she dead?' we thought.
- You don't snore if you're dead.
- No.
But did you hear how much she snored?
We got a little worried.
- Are you wearing perfume?
- Yeah, a little bit.
- It smells good.
- Thanks.
Perfect bacon. Well done.
What do you think I am?
Serious, honest, faithful, loving...
- You can take a look.
- Okay. Have you looked at it?
Yummy larvae...
Two of them.
Well, what do we say?
Cozy? Definitely.
- Festive... What does it say?
- Should we describe you?
- I'm taking off now.
- Where are you going?
I have a night shift.
There's food in the fridge
you can just heat up.
- Should I heat it before I go?
- No, no, we can handle that.
We'll help each other.
Have a good shift.
Thanks.
- No, not positive.
- You are positive, sometimes.
I can't see the difference.
- Well, it's a bit shorter.
- It's the small one I need here.
I actually saw a sofa bed
that I thought -
- would be really good
to put in Clara's room.
I thought she should have the one by
the bathroom because it's the biggest.
She's probably the one
who has the most overnight guests.
And then...
I mean, it's not now...
It's only when Ane is well,
and there's room to tell it.
But it would be cool
if it was all ready.
There.
And this one...
Come on.
Like that.
I can do that.
There.
- Are you already home?
- Yeah.
- Are the kids home?
- No.
How was your night shift?
- Wait, stop...
- I've been working out with Bjrn.
- This arm is completely wrecked.
- Does it hurt there?
You're very tense.
- Is it good?
- Yeah.
- Can you help me up?
- Yeah.
- One, two, three.
- There.
- Will you just...
- Yeah.
- What are you laughing at?
- Nothing.
What are you laughing at?
Nothing.
Do a backbend.
- That did something.
- In your back?
The football back.
- Hi.
- It's so great to see you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry I'm a bit late.
It takes time to get out the door.
- And look here.
- Well, now something is happening.
- Congratulations on the article.
- In print and everything.
Well, where is it...
- Congratulations.
- Great work.
- It's really good.
- Thanks.
- Congratulations.
- Good thing you stuck with it.
Hi.
Remember that Jon knows exactly
what to do to piss Tobias off.
Thomas, with all due respect,
you don't see most of it.
Tobias can only behave responsibly
when his contact person is present.
- It's unsustainable.
- No more than passing him on.
That would be a defeat
for all of us.
Just look.
I'll try again.
- Are you okay?
- Me?
I really don't know.
- Maybe.
- Okay.
Honey? Unfortunately, we can't
eat together tonight after all.
Ane called,
and she got her article published.
So she wants
the family to get together.
- Oh, okay.
- With the kids.
Yes.
Yes, but I guess it has to be that way.
Yes, unfortunately it is.
Is that okay?
Yes, yes, it's fine.
Shouldn't I be okay with it,
or what?
Yes, yes... of course.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You seem a little weird.
- Have you got your split yet?
- No, it goes best with the right leg.
I can't go down on the left either.
- Are you driving home?
- Yes.
My mom is picking me up,
but she has to go shopping.
Then I'll just tag along.
Girls? Josephine, Clara and Freja?
You've got the next competition.
Really well done, girls.
- That's so good.
- Congratulations!
I've been in such good shape
the last three months.
And you've hardly had
any problems with your injury.
You are so cool, girls.
Are you eating with us tonight?
Maybe.
I'll figure it out.
That would be super cozy.
Well, then we have to go home and make some food.
Are you coming, Clara?
How beautiful.
It's also very nicely set up.
I don't know if...
Can a clownfish
be with that species?
Oh, there it is:
Ane.
Hello, hello!
We can't have
Nemo going to war and pulling out his saber.
- Nemo wouldn't go to war.
- He might.
- Look! It's mom's article.
- Did training drag on?
Freja and I just had
some school stuff.
Now I would like to serve
the champagne, which has been waiting.
- Thank you.
- Do you want a glass?
- I have training tomorrow.
- A little splash?
- Can't I just have some cola?
- Yes, of course.
You're not keen on
giving any of your cola away.
So let's say cheers to Ane Justesen
and her beautiful new article.
Oh, I have to tell you one more thing.
I talked to Ulla
at the university, and she said -
- that I can probably soon
start teaching again.
Yes.
I must say.
That's damn nice.
- That's a bigger reason to celebrate.
- That's a double toast.
- Another toast!
- One, two, three, four, five.
Do you have anything
we should toast to, Marie?
- I've learned to eat cilantro.
- That totally needs to be celebrated.
- Then we need a clink.
- First the university and then cilantro.
- Well, now it's...
- Now we eat.
These are for you. None of
the rest of us want them.
- Clara, aren't you having any?
- No.
Is it okay if I go sit down?
I'm really tired.
Oh, look how much I bought.
All your favorites.
- We have to celebrate mom.
- Are you sick?
No, I...
I'm just tired.
- Can't you just sit with the rest of us?
- Fine.
Is something wrong, Clara?
Clara?
No, there's nothing.
Are you sure?
There's nothing wrong.
Hi, honey.
I thought you didn't get off
until this afternoon.
- Hi.
- Hi, Clara.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yes. Thanks.
- It's cozy here.
- Yes. Thanks.
There's obviously a little missing, but...
Thomas hasn't said at all
that he's talked to you and Marie.
Won't you sit down?
Yes, but can I
just use the bathroom first?
Yes, of course. It's down the hall
and the second door on the right.
I actually have to go to school now.
It was nice to meet you.
- You too, Clara. See you.
- Bye.
So it's completely finished.
Ane?
- Hi.
- Do you have time?
What's happening?
Clara has been over at Stine's
and rang the doorbell.
- Did you tell her where we live?
- Of course I didn't!
- Where is she now?
- She turned off her phone.
I can't get hold of her.
It's so far out.
She came and rang the doorbell at Stine's.
And then she pissed in our bed.
She peed in our bed.
Do you realize
how humiliating that is for Stine?
Stine has been accommodating and has
shown understanding for our family.
- She's never interfered in anything.
- She's interfered a little.
What the hell were you thinking?
That you could juggle two lives?
No, I don't want two lives!
But Clara peeing in my bed...
I don't know what to do!
Should I leave Stine?
Is it best if I come home
to you and the kids?
I think you should move now.
I'm not your charity project.
Now Clara knows, and I'll tell
Marie, and then you're moving.
That was the point, wasn't it?
I don't know if this was the point.
This isn't working.
No.
Fine.
Yeah.
But that's how you feel too.
I don't know how you feel,
but forget it. Just go. Or I will.
It's fine, Freja. I just wanted to know
if Clara was with you.
No, no, you don't have to.
Her phone's probably just on silent.
Yes, please do.
There was some trouble last night.
The police just left.
- Jon's been hospitalized.
- Why?
Tobias poured chlorine in his eyes.
He might be blind in one eye.
- Where's Tobias now?
- He's in the hall.
Hey, Tobias? Tobias!
I need to talk to you!
Please come with me.
I need to talk to you.
Let go!
Do you realize what he's done?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why are you sitting out here?
- Where have you been?
- Nowhere.
Come on.
- Hi.
- Why didn't you answer your phone?
It died.
Are you okay?
Did you know they were together?
Yeah.
Come on.
If you need to pee,
there's plenty of room in the garden.
- It's not funny, Mom.
- Yes, it is.
And then I bought this one.
It's a really nice blush.
It's called 'Sunshine',
I think, and I saw it in...
You good, Marie? Good.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
You guys are busy.
- Who's doing laundry?
- Me.
- You don't know how to do that.
- Yes, I do.
Food's almost ready,
so you can just sit down.
That's very sweet of you, but I'm not
a helpless child. I'm your mother.
We're helping each other out.
Right?
You're late.
Everyone else has left.
I just had something to practice.
- Hey, Marie.
- Hi.
- You drove here?
- Yeah, I wanted to surprise you.
- It's going pretty well, right, Marie?
- Yeah.
- I didn't think you were allowed to drive.
- Yeah, it's no problem.
Get in.
It's going pretty well, right?
- How did it go today?
- It went well.
- I've figured out the balance thing.
- Good!
And my coach was happy, or whatever you
call it when she doesn't yell at me.
You're so good.
- Maybe.
- You are.
Thanks.
Mom, I think
you're a bit in the middle of the road.
No, it's fine.
- You need to go a bit to the right.
- I don't know what you mean.
Mom, can't you see
you're in the middle of the road?
You're stressing me out.
Mom, you're still doing it!
Mom, come on. Please!
- Then tell me what to do!
- Watch out! Turn!
Hey...
Come here.
Honey...
That's quite a bruise
you've got there.
- Does it hurt?
- Yeah, a little.
- Where's Clara?
- She's getting an X-ray.
Come on.
Are you okay?
Do you need some painkillers?
No, I'm fine.
- Where's Mom anyway?
- That's a good question.
- Maybe she's sleeping.
- I want to sleep with Clara.
- Can Marie sleep in your room?
- Yeah, of course.
Okay, we'll do that.
We'll do it that way.
Should I help you with your clothes?
You can just sleep in that T-shirt.
- Sleep well.
- You too.
I just need to...
You know
you're not allowed to drive, right?
I just don't really understand...
You need to explain
what you were thinking -
- when you got in the car
and drove with them.
I just really wanted to pick her up.
But you can't.
And you could have...
I...
You know you might not
be completely okay in the head?
- Why do you say that?
- Since you make brain-dead decisions.
About driving
when you know you're not allowed to.
Don't you understand anything?
No, what is it I need to understand?
I'll go lie down and sleep here,
and then we can chat tomorrow.
What do you want with me?
- What do you mean?
- What do you want with me?
Why do you keep being here?
Why do you come back?
You've moved.
You can't just come in and out and leave.
I can't take it.
Now I think you should go,
because you've moved.
And that's fine.
You don't live here anymore.
Go now.
Sorry.
I just don't quite know
how to be your mother now.
Lie down and sleep.
It's okay.
- Aren't you coming to bed?
- Yes.
Come on, Jose!
