-Are we going by bus or train?
-Shall we do it in modern costume?
Good morning, dear Lysistrata.
What's the matter? You're irritated.
Don't frown. It doesn't suit you.
You'll age before your time.
Kalonike, I'm...furious
because of these women.
We're not reliable like the men say.
Yes. And they're right, aren't they?
I told them all to come. I said
it was important and no one's here.
I bet they're all still in bed.
They'll come. You know
it's hard for a woman to get away.
She's fussing over her husband
or chasing up a slave
or putting a baby to bed
Being a housewife...
Here it comes...
Being a housewife
is an important job.
But there are far more
important things.
Gunilla,telephone for you.
What now?
Hello, darling. Sorry to disturb you
but what time will you be home?
Good morning, dear Lysistrata.
What's the matter?
Don't frown. It doesn't suit you.
You'll age before your time.
Kalonike, I'm furious.
I can't say you look very furious.
But we have the boat
and the summer house
because I'm not free!
Should I sell them?
Yes, do that.
And we'll live off what you make!
No,forget it.
That's better.. Go on.
It's hard for a woman to get away.
She's fussing over her husband
or putting a baby to bed
Being a housewife
is an important job.
But there are far more
important things.
-What could that be, Lysistrata?
-This is a big thing.
It's up to us womenfolk
to do something
Can't l say "women"?
-Why?
-I don't like "womenfolk".
It's up to us women
to do something about the world.
It's in a bad way.
If it's up to us, it really is bad.
Don't you see? If we could unite,
we could change a lot in the world.
We can't get involved in politics.
Our duty is to look after our home and
husband and children and husband...
Do sound as if
you're a bit interested.
How long did you say
this tour would last?
Did you say something?
See? You can do it.
come first just aren't here.
But look... Here are some women.
Lots of them.
Hello!
For heaven's sake,
where is the wretched girl?
Are we late, Lysistrata?
Well, saysomething.
What's to say, Myrrhine?
So late for an important occasion?
I couldn't find mybra in the dark.
If it's important, tell us what it is!
Marianne, if you learned
to be ontime,
you might even learn
to find your place in the text.
I never want to see you again!
That's better..
Can't someone stop
that child screaming?
You're not taking him on tour,
I hope!
If it's important,
tell us what it is.
No, wait.
You see...
this play is very important,
because it has to do
with our own day and age.
If it's so important,
could you tell us more precisely
what it's about?
Well, it's rather hard to explain,
it's about how things stand... now.
In fact, to be more precise,
it's about...
women and war.
I thought it was about
boys and girls.
-They nevertake anything seriously.
-What woman ever does?
Joking apart, what's it about?
The play actually is a joke.
A very serious one.
Nothing to joke about.
We're supposed to work with them?
Silly things.
Perhaps we'll let the viewers
judge fort hemselves.
Here's an excerpt from the play.
- Who called this meeting?
-I did.
And what's it for?
Yes, what's so important, Lysistrata?
Good morning.
Yes, what's so important,
Lysistrata? Tell us.
I'll tell you. But first of all...
Do you mind if l ask you all
one small question?
Go ahead.
Don't you all long for your men?
For the fathers of your children?
They're mobilized. I'm sure you've
