Hi! I'm Reetta.

[Reetta] We just moved in.
I mean, duh,
I'm sure you can tell.
- May I pet it?
- Sure.
- [snarling]
- [gasping]
Naughty! Roosa!
You can't do that.
I'm sorry.
She's never bitten anyone.
Did she hurt you?
No. It was my fault.

Is that the new introduction video?
[Mother] Yes.
It's still a bit unfinished.
LOVELY EVERYDAY LIFE
[]
Hi, welcome to my blog
"Lovely Everyday Life."
I'll show you the everyday life
of an ordinary Finnish family
and how lovely it can be.
I'm a woman with two children
and one man.
My lovely daughter Tinja,
a super gymnast,
will soon have her first
competition.
I'm nervous
but incredibly proud of her.
What?
My toes weren't pointed.
They're like this.
They should be like this.
I'll crop the video so they don't show.
Okay.
A new family moved in next door.
That's nice.
- Have you met them?
- Yes.
I mean, their daughter Reetta.
She invited me over tomorrow.
She has a really cute dog.
You said you were going to focus
on the competition.
Or have you changed your plan?
No. I'm focusing on it.

[woman] Go already.
[woman] Good.
You still didn't do the flip at the end.
Yeah.
You're hesitating.
You've gotta trust yourself.
- I'm sorry.
- You don't have to apologize.
But I can't let you compete
if you can't do it.
- I can do it again.
- No more today.
Take it easy now, okay?
- [indistinct chatter]
- [laughter]
- Tinja, are you coming?
- I have to go for a run.
Don't go.
Why did you even ask?
She wouldn't come anyway.
Have fun!

[clears throat]
Hi. This is Tero.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Why don't you get out of
your gymnastics clothes, sweetie.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How was practice?
- Really good.
Good.
I have a surprise for you.
I love it.
You've gotta shine in the competition.
You saw us.
Hm...
Sometimes adults have these...
special friends.
- But what about Dad?
- Well...
Dad is Dad.
You know what he's like.
- Yeah.
- [mother chuckles]
How about we keep this
between us? All right?
I'm going away for a couple of days.
But remember:
Shh... this is between us girls.
[door closes]
[heart beating]

[Mother] Hi.
It smells good in here.
Oh my, it looks so beautiful here.
Mother! Mother!
We made waffles for you.
Yeah. Okay, that's enough.
Hey, Matias, that's enough.
Great. Now both of our clothes
are ruined.
Did you have a nice business trip?
Yes, it was lovely.
[guitar playing]
Hi.
Well? What's up, Tinja?
Nothing.
Did Mother tell you about the trip?
Yeah.
She said it was a really good
blog seminar.
That's nice.
- I bought a new one. Look.
- It's nice.
Okay.
[heart beating]
[]
[grunting]
- Good.
- Good job, Tinja.
You're getting there.
There's still one spot in the competition.
And our last one.
What was your name?
Reetta.
- Hi!
- I can't believe this.
Okay, Reetta, go.
Yes. That was perfect.
[grunting]
Yes. Let's do it again.
[grunting]
Yes. And again.
And again. And again.
All right, Tinja.
Let's do it one more time.
- I should lock up.
- [Mother] We'll take care of it.
- Don't overdo it, Tinja.
- I'm okay.
Okay, let's do it one more time.
Good. That's it.
Tuck your pelvis in.
Straighten your back.
Symmetrical arms,
no hunched back.
Remember your chin.
Good job, Tinja.
You know, I was thinking of
live streaming the competition.
[]
[liquid gurgling]
Shh...
Everything's okay.
I'll take care of you.
[]
[Mother] We had
a really authentic moment there.
People love them.
Hey...
May I confess something?
I think...
I'm in love.
[laughing]
I mean...
for so many years,
I've only given to people
and thought
that's what women have to do.
But this...
This is just...
Tero is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
This is the first time in my life
I feel that I really love someone.
I have to see where it takes me.
Do you understand?
Yes, of course.
I knew you would.
Sweetie, I'll be away next weekend too.

What happened? Are you okay?
A bird.
A bird came in.
I think it was wounded.
What kind of bird was it?
I don't know. A really big one.

[Father] Matias,
let's see what Tinja has to say.
What?
What are you...
So...
you didn't let Matias use
the bathroom last night.
Tinja is a shithead.
[Father] We didn't come here
looking for conflict.
Matias peed in his bed.
Okay, I'll change the sheets.
- [Matias] Tinja went outside last night.
- [muffled groaning]
What? You did?
No. Was there anything else?
I guess not. I mean...
Oh...
Yes. Right.
Yes. I see.
Let's go.
[door closes]
[squawking]
[chirping]
[girl] Do you have a bird?
No.
I mean, we might get one.
Why didn't you come today?
Where?
To practice.
I... I forgot.
[girl] She's so weird.
Do you want to
walk home with me?
Then a terrible storm started.
The waves were this high.
They went like this.
It was unbelievable.
[screaming, laughing]
Can you help me post these?
- Roosa ran away last night.
- Oh.
I mean, oh, no.
MISSING: ROOSA
Hi. There you are.
Ta-dah.
What did you bring me?
Thanks. This is really nice.
What did you bring me?
Oh, honey,
I didn't get you anything.
Your beautiful hair
is so tangled.
Your hair has gotten so long.
[thudding]
Matias.
What on earth...
This is the neighbor's dog.
Tinja buried it.
[Mother]
Where did you dig it up?
[Matias] Tinja killed it.
- [Mother] Some animal mauled it.
- [Matias] Tinja did it.
- [Father] Matias, stop lying.
- [Mother] Go to your room.
Now!

What happened?
Mother!
You can't do that! Understand?
Do you understand?
Who are you talking to?
Myself.
What...
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
What's that smell?
It's... It's the dog.
[screams]
- What is this?
- I don't know.
[liquid dripping]
[Mother] Who did this? Matias?
[hissing]
- [Mother] Tell me.
- No, it was an accident.
Mother, are you angry at me?
I thought the competition was
as important to you
as it is to me.
[grunting]

I already told you no!

Mother, Tinja is a monster!
You had another nightmare.
It wasn't a nightmare.
It's real.
[spraying]
[Reetta] Hi.
Look.
You're beautiful.
Thanks.
- Then Reetta. Tinja, spot her.
- I don't need a spotter.
That's it.
I'll go see my old classmates.
We haven't seen each other
in such a long time.
I miss them so much.
Did you find your dog already?
Oh, no.
But, hey, you were really good.
Thanks.
Would you also like to be
in the competition?
Yes, if I'm qualified.
That means Tinja
has to practice super hard
if she wants to beat you.
Right, Tinja?
[muffled banging]
[muffled banging]
- Do you want a ride?
- No, I'll walk.
- I can take you home.
- I like walking. See you!
[heavy breathing]
Mother.
Let's turn back.
Mother, let's turn back.
[]
[gasps]
[panting]
[screaming]
Tinja.
What's the matter with you?
[panting]
Tinja.
Everything's okay.
I understand. I know.
I was also very nervous
before my skating competitions.
It was very stressful.
Do you know the best way
to get rid of the stress?
What?
Winning the competition.
Show everybody
you're the best, right?
If you know you're going to win,
they'll know it too.
When you win, you don't
have to worry about anything.
I have an idea.
Being home is
clearly very stressful for you.
So why don't we spend
the weekend at Tero's?
What do you say?
Alli!
[Mother] Here you go.
Have you lost weight?
You've gotten rid of
the last bits of baby fat.
When you're done eating,
get ready.
We'll go to Tero's house,
you and me.
Your mother is so strong-willed.
I've always respected
her knowing what she wants.
It's easy being with
someone like that.
Yeah.
Tero is a good man.
I mean, person.
[Mother humming softly]
[]

Isn't this lovely?
[indistinct dialog]
[indistinct dialog continues]

- [door slams]
- [gasps]
Oh, hi.
Nice to meet you.
I mean,
we saw each other already.
But it's great you could come.
You look identical.
Mother has such a great style.
That's true.
Welcome and
make yourself at home.
Isn't this a lovely house?
It's a bit of
a fixer-upper, but...
Hi.
Do you want to see your room?
[baby crying]
Let's go meet Helmi first.
[Mother] Come, let's go.
[crying continues]
[Mother] Who do we have here?
Isn't she sweet?
A little princess.
You're so well-behaved
and beautiful.
Tero is a widower.
Helmi's mother
died in childbirth.
But you have us now, don't you?
Yeah.
Oh.

[Mother] Move your hands
into the shot.
That's it.
[Tero] Do you really have to
photograph everything?
I might not want to show
my house to the whole world.
No one will know
I took these here.
Look. I cropped you out.
[baby cooing]
Are you a sweet little princess?
Are you?
Here we go.
Let's put this on you.
You're so cute
in this lovely outfit.
[chuckling]
- Yes, you are.
- [phone buzzing]
Hi.
Yes?
Eat, by all means.
[Mother] Yes.
[Mother] Where?
- You like it?
- Yeah.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Look. What if I do like this?
- Oops.
- [Mother] Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Helmi, let's show her
our table manners.
Oops.
I see. I mean, that's terrible.
[monitor beeping]
[respirator hissing]
[Tinja] Reetta.
- [gasping]
- [screaming]
That's so awful,
with the competition
coming and all.
But the most important thing
is that you don't let this
affect you.
[]
[sobbing]
[creaking]
Why did you do that? Why?
Let me go, Alli!
Let me go!
[grunting]
[sobbing]
[]
[tapping]
What's on your mind?
I was just looking at the chair.
It's nice.
Yeah. I found it in a dumpster.
People don't treat their things well.
I like fixing them,
broken things like this.
Hey. Um...
I was going to
give you these later,
but I'll give them to you now,
since the competition is
coming and all.
Thank you.
This is a cartwheel.
[clapping]
This is an aerial cartwheel.
[grunting]
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
Wait, I'll do it again.
- I can do better.
- You don't have to do it now.
[grunting]
- I can do better.
- It doesn't matter.
What do you mean?
Tinja, do you really like
gymnastics?
- It's a good sport.
- Yes...
I guess it's important
for your mother
that you do well in it.
Hey...
Do you want to see me
do a cartwheel?
[grunting]
[laughs]
[screeching]
- What was that?
- I'll go change.

[Tero] Tinja, open the door.

[Tero] Tinja! Tinja!
- Open the door!
- [screeching]
Let go!
- [slamming]
- [groaning]
[Tinja] No! Stop!
[floor creaking]
[Tero]
Do you have anything to say?
I packed already.
I can leave when Mother comes
or...
I can take the bus home
if you want.
You'll never have to
see me again.
No one's going anywhere now.
You must think
I'm a horrible person.
You're not a horrible person.
I mean, you were a bit
a moment ago.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Hey.
It's okay.
Apology accepted.
Maybe you've had a bit too much
to process lately.
We'll talk about this
with your mother.
No, don't tell her.
Don't say anything to her.
I'll do anything.
Was that because of the competition?
No. I mean...
You can tell me.
Hi! Are you ready?
Let's check your poses,
and then we'll go.
I'll start filming
when you start stretching.
What happened to your hand?
[Tero] I had an accident
in the workshop.
Honey, I've told you to be
careful with your tools.
All right, let's go.
Remember to point your toes
like you showed me.
Cover your ears.
Hey, seriously.
Tinja, you can do better. Hey.
Tinja, it's only a question of focus.
[baby crying]
I'm sorry, honey.
Did we wake you up?
Was Tinja too loud? Was she?
Who's Mother's darling baby?
Who?
Who?
All right, Tinja, we gotta go.
Good luck!
Are you... Isn't Helmi coming?
No, Tero and Helmi
will stay here.
- Helmi has to come with us.
- Tinja, we're in a hurry.
Helmi has to come with us.
We'll be late for the competition.
We need to talk.
Tinja, say bye to Helmi.
Bye-bye, Helmi.

Tero, what are you...
Do you understand
what your daughter has done?
Tinja? When?
Now. A moment ago.
We just came from the competition.
[Mother] Have you been drinking?
Go to hell.
[Mother]
Why are you talking like that?
I said we were at the competition.
I don't care where you were,
but you're not coming here.
- What?
- You only see yourself, huh?
Your daughter has
some serious problems,
and I want nothing
to do with them.
Wait here.
Tero.

What?

You lost.
It's good to have you home.

What are you doing there?
[sighs]
Hi, everyone.
I just wanted to do an update
since my live broadcast ended
so dramatically.
Hi, everyone.
Tinja is doing well,
and we want to thank you,
every one of you,
for your loving messages
and support
and for being
so wonderful to us.
You're part of our family.
Hi, everyone.
I know I always say
how lovely everything is,
but an equally important part
of our everyday lives is failing.
Mother.
What?
I can be better. I can do it.
[Mother] You smell.
[Father] Tinja.
[sniffing]
What are you doing here?
Come. I need you.
[Mother]
Your hair looks terrible.
Look at yourself.
How can you be so disgusting?

[Mother] What...
What was that?
I... I hatched it.
Everything's its fault.
I just want it to go away.
Oh, baby.

Mother's darling.

Is everything okay?
There's someone here.
Don't ask what.
It looks like Tinja,
but it's not Tinja.
Everything is its fault.
We'll take care of it,
and everything will be okay.
It wasn't a nightmare.
You're right, honey.
Keep an eye on Matias.
