You're supposed to be...

my best friend.

But Adolf, now we'll become

brother-in-laws too, and family.

You probably never cared about me.

You have only come here for Agnes.

Sure, I care about you.

You have never even given me a thought!

I'm sorry...

I never though I'd...

...see you and my sister

kiss each other...

Well, Agnes, you're rich now.

At least our family will be pleased.

Agnes, come here.

The three of us will stick together. Right?

There, there...

Fly? No!

Yesterday I found a spider in my soup.

Boys!

Put it under the chair!

This tragic turn of the year should

maybe have been celebrated calmer!

Knut, should give the boys

in the trenches a thought!

The war is fought

not far from our borders!

Don't worry,

Sweden will remain neutral.

Adolf:
Wake up.

You have to be sociable.

Now that you're engaged.

I've written a verse in your honor.

You're not the only poet in the family.

The good wife

in agony, sweat and toil.

Her beloved husband spoil!

Bravo!

How elegant!

The wife keeps quiet

while her husband discusses.

She is her husbands wife,

his property, his female other half.

Anyone who finds a good wife

find the way to happiness.

Next time, he'll offer her the ring, and

Agnes will never break free from us then.

So much pain, so many tears

in the circle of a ring.

Agnes...

Agnes, it's almost twelve o'clock.

We have to return to the others.

Our family wants to raise their glass

to the new year.

But this year has been so awful

Nothing but war and death.

Those things has nothing to do with us.

Come now, and try to cheer up.

Stay with me, and kiss me

and say that you love me.

Do you?

You know I do.

You never say it voluntarily.

The family means more to you than I.

But, you belong to the family.

Do you believe in God?

I believe in myself.

I'm getting tired of this.

Let's go.

Engaged people can spend

time alone, can't they?

Not when it's new years eve, as we are

celebrating with our parents. Let's go now.

You're afraid to be

alone with me.

Your eyes are so cold!

You're acting strange again.

Aren't I almost as cute

as Ava now?

Yes, you are very pretty.

don't you think, Gerhard?

Good night.

Good night, son.

You are hurting me, Ava!

What cold hands you have!

What sharp little nails!

Gerhard says he is very tired.

He wants to go to bed.

SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

Who is it?

Agnes.

Put your hands in the air.

A ship comes loaded with peppermints.

Beda will teach you how to make them.

Since it's Gerhards

favorite candy.

Here's a bag for you too,

sister Maja.

You can go now.

But promise you'll be back.

You're wondering what I'm doing here.

It has nothing to do with Gerhard.
