I remember taking the first dip in
the Oslo fjord on the first of May.
Oslo on Sunday at sunset.
The city was completely empty.
I remember how tall the trees seemed
compared to those in Northern Norway.
I remember thinking,
"I'll remember this."
I remember dad sitting
in the kitchen, smoking.
Drinking coffee,
listening to the radio.
I don't remember Oslo as such,
it's people I remember.

We moved to the city.
We felt extermely mature.
ukfilm.in
busses, the metro, -
ukfilm.in
to some mythical party, -
ukfilm.in
- where you never knew whether
you were invited or not.
I remember how free I felt
the first time I came to Oslo.
Then I realised how small Oslo is.
I remember mom showing me where
she once rented a room.
- There's only offices there now.
- Every football match I've played, -
- was with friends I still have.
And that's because I'm from Oslo.
- I remember his laughter.
- The scent of salt on her skin.
Everyone was sure we'd win.
I remember the disappointment.
How he insisted "melancholy"
was cooler than "nostalgic".
We had so much time on our hands.
How my bed didn't fit into the flat.
- I remember walking past his flat.
- I remember having a best friend.
- It's a parking lot today.
- I never saw him again.
I remember when they
tore down the Philips building.
- Getting high on food now, Gisle?
- Shut up.
And I never had that feeling
when I went out before.
But I do now, and I don't know why.
Because I've been doing great here.
But the last month or two, -
Because...
Well, I'm scared shitless.
Scared of the future?
It's like I'm right back to
As if I'm back in primary school
emotionally.
That black...
Void, or...
It's like it's back.
And the relief -
- from shooting up is gone.
So I have serious doubts
about how I'm going to live now.
How to live with it.
Thanks.
The past days I haven't had any...
I haven't had strong
feelings in any direction.
I feel tired, but that's
- You've got a big job interview today.
- Yeah.
Would you like to talk about it?
Well, there's not much to talk about.
This is for the return trip. Remember
to tell them to enter via Losbyveien.
Taxis from Oslo always have
trouble finding us out here.
I'll see you back here later.
Goodbye and good luck.
- Hello?
- Hi, it's Anders.
Wow. Hi, Anders. Come in.
You see who's here?
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Remember me?
- I was just in the neighbourhood.
- Cool. Come in.
- Is this a bad time?
- No, not at all.
Long time no see.
- Want some coffee, Anders?
- Yeah, sure.
We have drinking-yoghurt,
juice, beer. Want a beer?
No, coffee will be fine.
Thanks.
You're having beer? He doesn't
usually drink for lunch.
You've completed the program?
I've got two more weeks,
then I'm done.
- You think it's helped?
- Well...
- Is that a troll?
- I guess so.
Why did you draw a troll?
- You're looking at Anders?
- Because it's so big.
So big, right.
Anders used to be a drug troll.
and speed and so on? Or khat?
- You've heard of "cat"?
- Yes.
Daddy used to party with
Anders sometimes.
But now I have to be here with
you and mom, which is really nice.
You want to give him the drawing?
- Is it for me? thanks a lot.
- You're welcome.
She seems to like you.
There's this guy at the home, -
- some pitiful junky,
who had to play Thomas.
- What do you mean?
- We do role playing, psychodrama.
It's part of the treatment.
The other residents play people -
- in my life, like my sister or you.
"A dopehead." So how's it done?
Well, you have to improvise.
They stand in a circle, try
to tempt me with stuff.
"Anders, remember how the dope
makes you feel warm inside."
"You can just smoke it,
no need to shoot up."
Well, stuff like that, you know.
And... But the guys who played
you, didn't have much to...
- Not much to go on?
- No relevant experience.
They were suppose to tempt
me with academic stuff.
But they had no idea.
"I've got a really awesome book here,
a really cool book. Adorno..."
- Seems they captured my complexity.
- He tempted me with his academia.
I can't believe you fell for it.
Well, it always ends the same
way, with the same words:
"I love you, Anders. I forgive you."
Like it's something they all
think they need to head.
But enough of that.
- You look well.
- You think so?
I didn't get much sleep last night.
I had my first so-called
"evening leave".
I met Malin.
She's moving to Stockholm.
- Malin? Do I know her?
- How could you?
Anders pulls so many women
you can't keep track.
- I don't think you've met.
- Here I am, feeling sorry for you.
Looking so tired. But you've just
I don't know.
I wasn't quite there.
Maybe I expected too much.
I felt nothing.
Proust said, "Trying to understand
desire by watching a nude woman" -
- " is like a child taking apart
a clock to understand time."
Jeez. He's trying to be personal,
and you hit him with a quote!
So if he's personal, I
have to be personal too?
But it's been ages since I
slept with a Swedish chick.
But his point was the opposite
