after Dani was born.

There's a medical explanation -

for any monstrosity!

You don't have to accept everything!

If mum was a junkie, how did you

dare to send me off with her?

Were you depressed, too?

Perhaps he thought

it'd save your mother.

If you stayed with her.

A difficult decision.

With her relationship to Dani so...

- She was a sick, mad person.

Thank you, it was very good.

She hated Dani.

No need to diagnose that.

I've taken care and

raised Dani from day one.

Oh, dad.

We're making a mess here.

Laura!

These things happen.

- Right.

We thank you now.

Good night!

- Good night!

So surprising, life is.

There you sit.

As if nothing had happened.

F*** what a mess.

I'm ashamed of those jerks.

Never mind them.

Come here.

How long did it go on?

- Quite a bit.

But Dani did nothing?

- I didn't watch it that way.

But the hand was there.

- Whose hand, and where?

You sors hand

on your daughter's thigh

and the other way

round and they

seemed to like it fine.

- I see.

Like I said

it's one of those things -

not meant for us to understand.

Some post-puberty sweating,

nothing serious.

But I wonder why they kept going

seeing as they've

never even taken

a bath together when small.

- Right.

Someone at his age might react.

I'd watch them to see

no harm gets done.

Dani.

It's hot in here.

A bear. He's gone.

No danger anymore,

back to bed.

Here, on the terrace?

- No, by the lake.

What happened?

- Back to bed, everyone.

Smelled the deer,

of course. - Awful.

Must've woken up, hungry.

- He's not there any more!

Bears can smell them

at miles.

- Really?

Dani, hey!

- What?

See you don't catch cold,

sleeping with so little on.

Right, have to be careful.

Was it a bear?

- Don't know.

Hardly.

Should we put up guards?

- Don't think so.

He's not there any more.

Better you don't come home yet.

I'd really appreciate it

if you didn't act difficult now.

So you seen any bears here?

- Not for fifty years at least.

Hey! Did you see

where he went? - There.

That way?

- Yeah.

He's somewhere

round the lake now.

We should call

the police or some -

what do you call them

- security things.

Would you call the police?

Would you call the police so we...

- You call them.

I'm coming in the back.

Dani'll drive.

No licence.

- Yes you have. Almost.

This will be a home test drive.

Dress rehearsals.

- I won't.

Yes, yes. Come out.

- The hell I will.

Out of there!

The f*** you're doing?

Drive, please.

And stop saying "f***" all the time!

It doesn't become you.

What's happening here?

- Slight rebellion in the air...

Buckle up.

What're you doing?

Open up!

- The mirror.

Did I fail the test?

I'd like to strangle her.
