welcome, welcome,
my beautiful friend

mademoiselle Rococo!

Patients are human too.
But she'll be bald.
That was in her pocket
when we undressed her.
Wrap her up.
Anna Lappalainen.
Cabaret dancer.
Interval singer at movie shows.
Worked also as a masseuse.
Manic-depressive,
schizophrenic.
Mother gave her away.
Only daughter. 15 foster homes.
Aggressive behaviour.
- Bruises, has cut herself.
The patient does not talk.
- For how long?
We don't know. She doesn't speak.
- Should we ask her mother?
Yes, indeed.
- What about her father?
Died when the children were small.
- That figures.
My family had a cat called Anna.
She didn't talk much either.
Nursing staff must know
their responsibilities.
What is Kuronen doing here? - If

You should be in work therapy.

Take him to his work.
She doesn't seem to wake up.
Glucose solution intravenously.

Who are you?
Where are we?
Who am I?
Can't you see
that I'm trying to help?
From now on we are more humane.
used alongside the old ones.
They are not the opposite
of being more humane.

Throw them in!
Don't hesitate!
Good morning.
It's Tuesday, 8th of June, 1945.
It is six in the morning.
Good morning!

in a shop window.
Head Nurse mustn't hear that.
Nurses don't dance here.
Neither do the patients.

The bus goes in half an hour.

and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

A true blue-blood.
Our own apparatus. An updated
version of what we had temporarily.
Greetings from Sweden.
You have already started.
Go on, please.
There is some new staff here.
Could you explain the efficiency
of this revolutionary machine?
Well...
This prolongs the clear moments
after coma and shock.
There have been some
very promising results.
Electricity induces a state
that resembles insulin shock -
quicker and more economically.
Could use some fine tuning.
Do you like Mozart?
That's what we need in life.
I play the violin myself.
I talked to your mother
on the phone.
How come you talked
when you lived with her?
They said that you had
a very loud voice.
That's right.
I understand.
You should get over it.
Then you'd start to get better.
I can't help you
if you don't talk.
Listen to this, Anna.
Did you say something?
- No.
I just wonder
how you talk to your superiors.
Student mixes things up. The one
you mentioned is my housekeeper.
I am Princess.
Princess.
I was born
in Buckingham Palace.
An eagle stole me from a balcony
and took me to the skies.
In Lapland the bird dropped me
and Lapps took me to their hut.
Princess has been
in Finland ever since.
My mother is the King of Scotland,
He sired me in a harem in Monaco.
- Your mother isn't a king.
The King of Scotland is a man.
And in a harem in Monaco...?
In the court. My mother
is the Queen of Scotland.
You said king.
Poor peasant.
He just doesn't understand.
and I know about people's mental-
physical state and its fragility.
Mother found me in a swamp
and took me to Helsinki.
Then I came here to my palace.
My English mother at my birth was
the Empress of Athens, Fredrika.
Congratulations.
You made the mute one talk.
It wasn't exactly like that.
- He pretends to be modest.
What a miracle cure. We not only
got talk but a real princess.
With our new technology
we can get rid of delusions.
We have an electric gadget of our
own and won't have to borrow one.
Could you help? A delirium
tremens was just brought in.
Turn off the shower at least.
Saastamoinen. Deep delirium.
Has been drinking for two weeks.
Dreaded water when we
showered him. Then went like that.
Dress and confine him.
We'll see about him in the morning.
Army unit was killed in a river.
He was one of the few survivors.
A partisan. He's probably
used too much amphetamine.
Also he dreads water.
What a lout.
- You're justjealous.
Teach her to behaveI
Let's go to sleep.
Patient Lappalainen,
go to your own room, please.
Did you understand?
- Listen!
I'm Princess and the President
of Finland is my husband.
You're an ex-masseuse.
Do you understand that?
Nurse!
Evening, evening.
Morning.
Open the door!
The Bible protects.
Code of Laws and the almanac
protect from evil spirits.
Patient Lappalainen.
- Princess!
Open the door at once!
What's happening there?
- I don't know. She bolted the door.
Open up, please. - Remember that
she's also a little human being.
Scopolamine!
How are you, Anna Lappalainen?
