Secondly, our Norwegian parents-

-agreed that they wouldnt

keep in touch.

And thirdly...

My brother's father,

he was a terrible man.

And our mother

had to suffer because of him.

Who wants to remember that?

Could you pass me the soy?

But what about you? Did you agree

that you should forget each other?

They never asked me.

Maybe it's not your problem?

Hi! Aren't you going to come

in and get in my way a bit?

They're fresh.

-Hello, Maria.

-Hi.

I made the meatballs.

-Do you like them?

-Yeah.

See you later.

Maria?

All the way... Axel?

Say hello to Liv. Remember Liv?

-Yes, of course I remember Liv.

-He's handsome.

His eyes have become so beautiful.

Hi. Have you had cake?

Look at him, in his suit. You know

he used to play in a punk band?

Now he's a snob like the rest of us.

-So what are you telling her?

-That you're afraid of being seen-

- without your white shirt.

-That's not my impression.

May I have your attention, please?

It's the birthday of my dear Fredrik.

Happy birthday.

All you in the dining room,

please come in here.

Because now we're going

to sing the birthday song.

Is everybody ready?

One, two, three...

Hi.

You look fresh to Ive in this place.

-I've just moved in.

-I'm Maria.

-Per.

-Are you a photographer?

Well, no. I'm a student.

Ive just bought the camera.

I'm studying philosophy.

I'm a student too.

I'm studying Norwegian behaviour.

-And what have you found out?

-Well...

The Norwegians are sad.

They're hurting inside.

And hard, like statues in a park.

And some are naked.

Bye.

Unwanted in a foreign country?

Yes, it's a frightening feeling.

-Is it easy to loose your bearings?

-Hi, mom.

Hi, we're listening to a programme

on the radio. It's from Afghanistan.

I'm listening to it as well.

But thanks.

Its very interesting. But...

There's another thing. Karsten...

He wanted to come

and visit you in Oslo. Is that okay?

Yes, that'll be fine.

Are you all right?

-Sure.

-See you at the hunt.

-Well, bye.

-Bye.

Activists are mobilising against

the war, and plan a demonstration -

- in connection to the NATO meeting.

Any thoughts?

I think... they've no idea

what theyre talking about.

Afghanistan is complex...

Its not about war or peace.

Its just not possible

to withdraw overnight.

Karsten!

Hi.

-Shall I take it?

-Yeah.

-This much stuff?

-Mom's packed it, you know.

So it's the entire weekend?

-There sure are many beggars here.

-Yeah, there sure are.

Drug addicts as well.

You haven't tried drugs, have you?

No, I haven't.

So you don't know anyone

Who smokes hash?

No.

-Did you hear that?

-What?

A woman screaming in the street.

-Karsten, it's normal city sounds.
