I would never be able to do this without...-

- her.

And I have to...-

- have to do this.

Good morning.

Veronica?

Hello?

Veronica?

Hello?

Veronica?

F***!

Veronica.

I'm so sorry.

I should have told you all along.

I just ... I'm so ashamed of the disease.

Hey..

It must have opened when it hit bottom.

We just fill it with rocks and tie a rope

around it. Then we tie ourselves to it.

We just need a rope. It'll be all right.

Come here, I'll show you

the end of Norway!

Look at me!

-Come on!

.You really are weird.

What?

-That's Ferder Lighttower.

-Yeah?

Imagine, behind is the rest of the world.

Now that you know about me,

tell me something about yourself.

Okay. What do you want to know?

I don't know, something important.

How are you parents?

I don't know.

How old are they?

-Both of them?

48 or 49. Something like that.

What do you like about them?

My mom's really pretty.

Okay, what else?

She's always the center of attention.

Do you love her?

Everybody says we look alike.

What does she mean to you?

What's that? Ouch...

-I might need to clean it.

-Take the camera.

No, hey!

I'm just kidding.

Wow, look! We should let it out.

Grab it!

There you go.

That's great medicine for you.

-Is it?

-Yes.

I'm still not sure if I get it,

why you want to do this.

-Is this okay?

-Yeah.

Why do you want... I don't get it.

Is it hard, saying the word out loud?

You know what I mean.

I'm just trying to make it easier.

-Aren't you the least doubtful?

-Are you?

I'm more doubtful about not doing it.

After I decided

What does the illness do to your body?

It attacks your motor neurons.

Your what?

They're what makes us able to move.

How?

Usually it starts in your hand or foot.

You get weak -

Even the simplest things needs focus.

Yeah? Like smoking a joint?

Yes. Then the weakness increase.

You stop being able to do stuff.

As the muscle tissue fades,

your joints stiffen -

- and your hand curves inwards like this.

What? Like this?

Yes. Then the same thing

happens to your feet.

What's so funny?

What's so funny?

And then what?

You're put in a wheelchair?

Yes, weelchair!

Electric wheelchair! .

That's actually kind of fun.

You get to steer with your hand and just...

Are you able to move your finger?

But you can still feel

everything on your skin.

On your skin?

Yeah, you never stop feeling,

even though you get paralyzed.

But you'll be lying there..

And the only way you can

communicate is trough your eyes.

But I can still speak though my skin...

What'd you do that for?

I don't know. I wanted to know

how it is, to kiss a girl.

Veronica?

Oh, hi! Eirik!

-Hi, nice to see you.
