[woman 1] It didn't really turn out how I planned,
life. [sighs]
I don't know. I miss a lot of things.
Can you be specific?
Yeah, when I was your age, to use an example…
[woman 2] Hmm.
I could go home with five or six guys after a night out,
couldn't decide which one to have, who I wanted, so
I took 'em all home.
- And you think about it much? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do all the time.
So, then, how does it feel?
- How d'you mean? - I mean…
Do you feel a bit more
anxious?
Guilty?
[scoffs]
[chuckles]
What are you? Are you dumb, huh?
[both chuckle]
What? Sorry?
I mean, don't you get it?
[both chuckle]
- No. - But don't you see there's a void?
I mean, God, that's it, isn't it? Is there not a void in your life?
- Yes. Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
I could have them all, anyone I liked.
I'd just pick one, uh, and we'd go home and screw.
What I mean is--
Do… do you know what I can say that I… I regret in my life, really?
- No. - That way of life was a gift to me.
Then I just had to go and get myself married.
Very, very pointless.
All the fun just stopped.
[mobile phone chiming]
Oh.
Now, we're… out of time, so…
[woman 1] Mm.
Might… Should we book you in for another meeting?
Hanna, am I right?
- Yeah. - Word of advice.
Don't ever marry.
'Cause then your life is over.
- [door opens] - Ah!
- Surprise! - Surprise!
[laughter]
What're you… Why are you pulling me?
- No, I'm with a client! - No, that's my aunt.
- [woman 1] Good luck, Hanna. - Bye!
Remember to just say yes.

Oh, there you are. [sniffs]
Yes, it went well.
I, uh, took him for a little ride.
Said I'd received a higher bid.
[sniffs] So he signed there and then.
The same old trick. Congratulations.
Thanks, darling.
[sarcastically] I really don't know what I'd do without your support.
What do you reckon?
- About what? - About the dress.
Oh, right.
Yes, it's fine.
Yes, it's lovely.
You look younger in it. Slimmer.
For the wedding, stupid.
Oh, for fuck's sake. I'd forgotten all about it.
- For the love of God, Martin. - When's this bloody boat leaving?
On Friday, for the 150th bloody time.
- All day Friday. Is it a drop-in boat? - Yes, precisely.
Mm-hmm. I'll go and check the booking.
No, leave it. We'll have to change them anyway. I have meetings all day Friday.
And you know that the same time every Friday,
I have a sunbed. We'll go the next day.
But it's the same day as the wedding ceremony.
- [Martin] Mm-hmm. - We've said we'll come a day early.
So we get to spend time with his parents beforehand.
Yes, but sometimes life doesn't turn out as you like it.
I don't understand
why the hell they're getting married in the first place.
Have you considered they just love each other?
- You think that, do you? - Yes, I do.
Don't even know each other.
It feels like we're going away for some fucking piss-up in Las Vegas.
They've been a couple for one year now.
Don't ruin this, Martin.
Think about Hanna.
Oh, I'm doing that, all right.
[smooth brass band music playing]
[man] Oh yeah?
Well, when your son's getting married, you know,
you really want it to be extra good, yeah?
Oh yeah, for sure, Dad. But I'm very keen for it to go the way Hanna has planned it.
- And also, the way I've planned it. - [dad] Yeah.
- Hey, is Mum there? - [dad] Yes. Maj-Gun!
It's Samuel on the phone.
[Maj-Gun] Oh!
Yes?
Hi, Mum. Did you get my email?
Um, about how we want the arrangements and ceremony?
The email? Oh, yes. Yes, I've read it.
'Cause you know it's really vital.
[Maj-Gun] Yes, everything's under control here.
It's going to be perfect.
You can leave it to the boss, Samuel!
- [Maj-Gun] Yes. - Okay. Good.
- [Maj-Gun] Big hugs. See you soon. - Yeah. Well, sure.
[pounding dance music playing]
I've found the perfect dress.
- You know, I just love it! - [chuckling]
Nearly as much as I love Samuel.
[laughter]
Oh! It would be lovely to be there.
Obviously.
But we… we really want the whole thing to be intimate.
It'll just be me, Samuel, and the family.
Lovely.
But I really will take masses of pictures.
So you're going?
You're a bridesmaid?
Yeah…
So I…
Linda is… She's like family.
We've known each other since kindergarten.
Oh? So you're just inviting friends you've known longest?
No, it's not that.
But it's… it's going to be a small wedding.
[woman 1 huffs]
Can we have more shots?
No worries.
Woo!
- [Marco] Cheers! - Best part of the day.
Oh yeah.
[both sigh contentedly]
Hey…
- [Samuel] Mm-hmm? - I've been thinking.
How the hell are you gonna deal with Hanna's father as your father-in-law?
Yeah. Yeah.
Of course, at first, he can come across as a little… sour.
But when you actually get to know him,
he's a dick, yeah.
[chuckles]
Yeah! Well, how does he get on with your folks?
Yeah, we'll see.
- Oh, they never met? - No.
Oh! Well, good luck. They're gonna love each other.

No, babe, don't worry about them.
They won't care about that. They've got masses to do in any case.

I should probably have some water first. [sighs]

Oh, I just wish they'd never given me a hen do.

Also, you haven't forgotten both Jacob and I aren't here this weekend, yeah?
Huh?
Yes, we're going to a wedding, on Gotland. I did tell you.
Ah, yes. Yes. Yes.

Yep. A competitor's daughter's getting married this weekend.
Okay.
Martin Kjellner's daughter.
Murder Martin?
Oh yeah, precisely.
So Linda and his daughter, Hanna, are childhood friends.
She's the one getting married.
Well, we'll just have to cope, uh, without Linda for a few days, won't we?

Ah, you've arrived. You're here.
- [Hanna] Hi. - Hi.
- [Maj-Gun] Did you have a nice trip? - Welcome, little bro.
- Hi. - Hi, Leif.
Do you know, I've been thinking about something.
I know what you're going to say. And, yes, it was Hanna driving.
And you know what, Kristian? I'm okay with that.
What's more, I like it.
What?
You know, things have changed between men and women.
Samuel, what the fuck are you talking about?
Listen, we couldn't throw you a stag do for obvious reasons,
like you weren't even here.
[Samuel] That's fine. I didn't want to--
- So we're kidnapping you now, yeah! - [Samuel] No!
- Yes! - [Hanna] What's going on?
- What are they doing? - [Kristian] Come on, you little shit!
- [Hanna] What are they doing? - Having a stag do.
But he doesn't want to have a stag do!
You don't make that decision for yourself.

[Leif] Don't do anything I wouldn't do!
[man] Woo!

They couldn't make it today.
- Leifen. - Yeah?
[Maj-Gun] Her parents aren't coming!
- For real? - [Maj-Gun] No.

No!

But let's not wallow too long in our sorrows, eh, Hanna?
No.
Let me show you what I've got in mind for tomorrow afternoon.
- Yeah. - Oh, and, Leifen?
Can you bring the luggage to the guest house, then?
Yeah, yeah.
But how… how do we get to know them? We don't know them from Adam.

- Of course. - Yeah.
But, uh, yes,
I thought this would be a very good place to eat tomorrow.
- It's just lovely. - Yeah.
And, uh, if I understand correctly,
am I right in thinking you want to get married at dusk?
- Is that right? - Yes.
In that case, we should eat before.
- So folk won't have to go hungry all day. - "Folk"?
It's better to get all the formalities out of the way, right?

This really shouldn't be a problem. Why don't I put it on?

[exhales deeply]
[indistinct chatter]
So, er, what made you decide to get married, then?
It was pretty quick.
Because I love Hanna.
Yeah, well, I'll give you that, but…
I mean, you don't just get married 'cause you're in love.
It's not just about being in love.
What I have with Hanna is
stronger,
much stronger.
There is something that bothers me.
Her father… hates me.
Why's that?
I don't know. He's always so damn condescending.
Whatever I do, it's not enough for Martin.
[guitar playing]
So being a celebrity chef's not enough?
No, it seems not.
But once we get married,
he'll have to accept me.
- Is that why you asked her? - No.
No.
But when she said yes,
I know it pissed him off that we were getting married,
and it felt so good,
and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
[Kristian chuckles]
You know, you… you could've just killed him instead.
Yeah, but on the mainland, we don't do that.
Nah, that's too complicated for you, isn't it?
[gentle music resumes]
[Kristian grunts]
Did you have fun?
No. They're all crazy.
[in gruff voice] Man has to respect the island.
What?
You got away just in time.
Oh, right.
Yeah. Hey, Dad.
Any chance you could tone down the Gotlandic tomorrow?
For the wedding ceremony?
This is how I normally speak.
No, you're from Gothenburg.
It is for the good.
No, it's not. I can't believe you're still attempting to do it here.
But they don't have any respect for Gothenburgers here.
- I am Gotlandic! - Now you're prattling like a Gothenburger!
What the fuck?
I only slip into it when I get pissed off!
[Kristian and Samuel chuckle]
- Oh. - Where's Hanna?
She's in the guest house.
[sighs]
- She's in the guest house. - Yeah. Got it.
Okay. [chuckles]
I am a Gotlander.
If you say so, you old bugger.
You little shit!
[both laughing]
Yes… No. No. No. No. Help!
Sorry, I tried to stop them, but Kristian's bonkers.
Hey.
What is it? What happened?
So… your mother wants me to get married in that.
Okay. And you don't want to?
Yeah.
I'd absolutely love to.
Yeah.
No, of course I don't bloody well want to, Samuel!
Yeah, okay.
You know, there are so… so many traditions on the island.
Oh, fuck's sake!
You have to fix this! If I say anything, your mum'll go mad.
She's forever going to hate me!
Yes. Okay. I'll have a word with her.
But it's hard. She's…
Um, I'll sort it.
- [sighs] - [Samuel] Hey.
It's our day. They won't spoil it.
- Mm. - Mm?
- Yeah. - [bell ringing]
Oh.
- What's that? - We must go and join the others now.
What for?
When the bell rings, everyone has to come.
Jan-Inge, who's marrying us,
well, he's on his way today. So it's to do with that.
Yeah. Yeah. well, you go first. I have to change and freshen up a bit.
Okay.
[intriguing music playing]
[exhales]
- What's up? - Jan-Inge.
He's fallen off the roof. His leg is broken.
- What? Now? Just now. - [Leif] Yeah, yeah.
Which roof was it, then? Was it on the main house?
No. He was talking about putting a new roof on the new barn.
[Kristian] The new barn? The small barn? The shit barn?
But wasn't it the brewhouse?
- No, I think it was the old barn. - Yes, it was the old barn.
- Does it matter? - What?
Which roof it was, is that of extreme interest?
Yes, mate. You wanna know how high that is?
I just want to know who the hell is going to marry us tomorrow!
Yeah…
Well?
- [boy] Hi! - My God.
- Oh, you scared me. - What are you doing?
It's my bedroom! [chuckles softly]
Who are you?
[woman] Linus!
Linus!
He's in here!
Linus, you're not supposed to be here.
Go to Daddy.
Sorry, he just snuck off.
No, it's nothing.
[sighs] Hello. We haven't met, in fact. Jessie.
- Oh, right! - Married to Kristian.
Ah! Yes, course.
Hanna. [chuckles softly]
Sorry, there's been so much going on. And I'm a little nervous.
Trust me. I get you.
So is she trying to make you wear that?
Yes. Yeah. Well, she isn't making me, but…
Sorry, was I wrong? Do… do you want to wear it, then?
It… it's wonderful!.
But… but not for me, not for my wedding.
I hate our wedding photo.
It looks like a poster for Skansen.
- We'll have to change her mind, then. - Okay. Good luck with that.
Thanks.
Oh, yes, and have you heard about Jan-Inge?
What?
[poignant music playing]
Oh, have you heard?
Yes, Jessie told me.
Papa is ringing around now trying to find someone else.
Yeah, of course.
Maybe… Samuel, shall we go inside and have a little chat, yeah?
- Yeah, 'course. - Come on.
- Samuel? - Yeah?
Shall we just ring the pastor now?
No. No, a civil ceremony's important to Hanna.
It's important to me too.
[sighs wearily]
Yeah, yeah.
[sighs]
[grunts angrily]
- What you doing? - Let's not do this, Samuel.
Let's cancel it.
Yeah. So I brought this with me in case of a crisis.
And now this feels like one. Can you get glasses?
Sweetheart.
It's going to be alright. It'll be just how we want it.
How's that?
- It's going to be perfect. I promise. - [exhales]
[knock at door]
Yeah, come in.
I've fixed it.
- You've already found someone? - [Leif] Yes.
Is it a priest?
[Leif] No, no.
It's Bertil Fred.
He works for the municipality.
- Is that so? - [Leif] Yes.
I think he's with the Centre Party or something.
So no more need for you to worry.
[gasps] Thank you!
Are you drinking now?
No, a-absolutely not.
I was actually asking Samuel why he'd brought it with him.
Yeah, uh… No, I…
I brought it in case of… in case of a crisis.
But there's nothing to worry about.
I think you should rest.
And think about yourselves, will you now? It's a big day tomorrow.
[footsteps retreating]
Well, anyway, want one?
[chuckles] No.

- Shall I? - Mm.
[gentle music playing]
- There we go. - [chuckles softly]
- Got it. - Yeah.
[giggles]
No, nearly, hang on. [chuckles]
There!
It's gorgeous.
Thanks, sweetheart.
I thought I put it in that bag,
but I can't be sure if I even brought it along.
- ["Colonel Bogey" playing on car horn] - [Hanna] What's going on?
Oh.
Good morning!
- [tires squeal] - [Leif chuckles]
Come. Come and see.
[indistinct chatter]
What do you think?
"Forever."
You weren't expecting that, right?
No.
It…
Um, I think we've been quite clear about… that… that we
wanted a small one.
We thought it was so, so sad.
You see, we were quite upset
when we realised just how few friends you have,
so we thought, well…
- But… So… - What?
Mum and I decided to go for a grander scale.
Yeah. "No shitty little wedding", Leifen said.
- [both laugh] - But… the… the thing is, we…
we want to have a…
Uh, what's that for?
- [Maj-Gun] Oh! - [Leif] Oh yeah. Dad's little surprise.
- A bar for you! - Oh my God. Mm?
Ah, yes, we'll have the best party there ever will be.
Yeah. And you let me know if you need any help from me.
Um, with what?
To put the dress on, right?
- Yeah, right, um… - Yeah. Um…
Thing is,
um, Mum, we were thinking that…
Yes?
That I… I can help her with… with that.
[Maj-Gun] What? The groom?
[both laughing]
No.
- Ah. - But I don't want it.
[chuckles hesitantly]
I… I don't… I don't want to be a pain.
And you have so much to do, Maj-Gun, so it--
This is a shared pleasure.
- There's time always for that. Aw! - [Leif chuckles]
- [Maj-Gun] Oh! - [peaceful music playing]
Linda!
- Oh, hi! - Hi.
Hi.
I thought you'd be there already.
No, Martin had a few meetings that he couldn't move around. You know.
- Yeah. - Mm.
- Yeah, understood. - Mm.
- Yeah. - You driving?
No, we're taking the bus.
- "We"? - Yeah, I'm with a new guy.
Mm! [chuckles]
Marco, though… Isn't he coming?
Yeah, think so.
Yeah. So then would you like a lift with us? We've got a rental car.
Yeah. If there's space?
- Yes, of course there is. - Thanks.
- See you at the port. - Yeah.
- Bye! - See you!
Would any passengers with pets on the car deck
please meet at the information desk on deck 7.
[Martin sighs]
For foot passengers, please wait until the ferry has docked and…
What the hell are you doing? Already drinking now?
Yeah, a coffee avec.
You should enjoy some of the good things in life.
But we're driving. Hired a car.
Only need one driver.
It'll have to be you, then.
Or did you book a car that has dual controls?
Cheers.
So… Linda and her boyfriend are going to travel with us.
I bumped into her in the café just now.
[scoffs] Marco.
No, she has a new one.
- She has a new one? - A new man.
Well, Linda's smart.
Maybe she can inspire Hanna to do likewise.
Martin, you're awful.
Let it go, can't you?
[chuckles] Good night.
[whimsical music playing]
[woman] There you are!
- [Linda] Here we are. - Hi! I'm Helene.
- [Martin] What have we here? - I'm Jacob. A pleasure.
- [Helene] Pleased to meet you. - Little Linda. Hi.
Yes, I'd heard you'd traded up for a new model.
This is Jacob.
Oh, hello. It's… it's such a pleasure to meet a real legend.
- [stifles laughter] - Thank you, thank you.
"Legend"?
Yeah. So for all of us in brokerage, Martin Kjellner's a legend.
- Oh! - How about that? Where do you work?
I'm at the same office as Linda. It's Sjögren & Hallman.
Ah!
Tell me, wha… what's it like working for Johan Sjögren, then?
It's okay. It's fine. Uh, I like him and all that.
[chuckles] You can be honest with me. He's hopeless.
Oh yeah. No, he can be a real shit, in fact.
[laughs] "A shit" is a bit harsh. I'm just messing with you, kid.
[laughs insincerely]
Let's find the car rental. I think it's this way, yes?
- [Martin] You fell for that, eh? - [laughs insincerely]
- What's he on, amphetamines? - [Linda chuckles]
[Martin sighs] Hmm.
[mumbling incoherently]
What the fuck? Is he even awake?
- Hello? - Please.
I have a few things to do here.
It's hard doing two things at once.
Yes. Understood.
- Well, uh, we have booked-- - Kjellner?
- Yes, exactly. - Motor?
Yes, unless you have any pedaloes that are going?
An automobile, then.
I have a Toyota 86. Unlimited mileage.
Empty tank. Empty on return.
- It's in the parking lot outside. - What the fuck's he on about?
So there's no petrol in the tank?
Very little.
[Helene] But enough to get us to a petrol station?
[man] If you're lucky.
They're always a lottery, automobiles.
Driving licence?
[man] No, you drive at your own risk.
[Helene] Right. Understood.
There you go.
- [man] Good. Here you go. - Thank you.
Yeah, just one more thing.
She can be a little hot-headed.
I'm telling you now so you don't get a surprise.
- No, that's great. - No. Good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. The car's sounds a bit temperamental.
M-X-B-0-0-8.
There!
[Helene] Yes, there. Thanks.
[sighs]
Oh, for fuck's sake, Helene.
I delegate a simple task to you,
and this is the sad result of it.
I could only find one rental car in this place, yeah?
I rang Hertz, Avis.
You said, "Rent a Tesla, BMW, or some other pile of shit."
Huh? Well, here's another pile of shit.
Ah. Put your stuff in so we can get going now.
And we have to stop for petrol.

I'm just trying to make the best of the situation.
Hm, so says the wuss.

Do? Do what?
The bride viewing.
- I'm sorry, view? View? - [Kristian] The bride viewing.
It's a tradition. Haven't you prepped her, Samuel?
But we… we haven't planned for that. No.
- But what is… what is that? - We want you seen by the community.
Who do you mean?
[Maj-Gun] Well, all the folk who live locally.
There could be a lot of them. We put out an announcement.
But… my parents haven't even arrived yet or my…
So can we… can we can perhaps wait until they… they get here, so…
That because I…
I have to… I just have to… Sorry, it…

Nothing's going as I planned. I need you here now.
I think we're almost there. We got a lift from… from your folks, yeah.
Well, tell them to step on it, or you're going to miss the bride viewing.
That was Hanna. She told me to tell you to hurry, because there's a…
a bride viewing?
Bride viewing?
[sighs]
[Jessie] Hanna?
Yeah, I'm here!
There you are.
They need you to come now.
Don't worry. It'll be over in a minute.
I look good.
- Yeah. - [chuckles softly]
I'm a little shocked.
I don't look as good as you.

Hi, hi, hi.
- You look very fancy, uh? - Thanks.
[chuckles] Yeah. And there's a masquerade.
You didn't mention that on the invitation. You've dressed up as well. Nice, nice.
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
Yeah.
This is where you grew up.
Or tried to grow up, rather. Well, that explains a lot about you.
Uh, yeah. No. Yes…
You must be hungry, are you? Yeah. Could you manage a little bite to eat?
- Yes, definitely. - Yeah.
Yeah? Why don't you go through?

I mean, for a while, I was ready to call it off. The whole thing.
- So you're wearing that? - No, I am definitely not.
- You look beautiful though. - Would you have worn a folk dress?
[chuckles]
So, then, this is a little intimate job.
You won't post any pictures of me, will you?
Because if our friends see any of this, it'll be all over the place.
No.

Is everything all right, darling?
No, but, it's gonna get better.
- God, has something gone wrong? - [music ends]
Yeah, I mean, it's…
it's lovely though.
D'you think so?
Honey, all that matters now… is that you love each other.
That's the only thing that matters.

- That's you. - D'you know about that?

[Helene tapping on glass]
Hi, everyone!
My name is Helene, and, uh,
and, yes, I'm the one who earlier ruined the beautiful arch right over there.
[laughter]
But I'm also known as mother to Hannah.
And as her mother, this might be the greatest day of my life.
Apart from the day you were born, because that will always be the greatest.
When you were little, Hanna, you said to me,
"Mummy, I'm absolutely not going to get married!"
No, you were going to marry a horse.
[laughter]
[Helene] But those plans changed, thank goodness,
when you met, then got together with Samuel.
Hanna, I've never seen you so contented.
And you two are…
I mean, take a look at them. They're perfect and… committed.
And the fact you have the courage and are willing to take such a big step
so soon in your relationship,
I think, is the right thing to do.
Hanna, I love you.
And I want you to know that we are so, so proud of you.
And, Samuel, there's no one I'd rather see by Hanna's side in life.
[Martin] Well, perhaps I could say a few words as well.
If that's alright.
Normally,
you would eat first and then do all this after the actual wedding.
But I guess this is some strange tradition that compels you,
here on the island, to do the opposite.
Martin Kjellner is my name.
Thanks. [clears throat]
Hanna, I love you.
There is no-one I wish more success and joy and good fortune, Hanna.
You're the person who means the most to me.
That'll do it.
[Martin sighs]
And I just want to say that I think the same as Martin.
And I want to wish you all the good fortune in the world.
And a huge thank you to Maj-Gun and Leif for making this possible.
You've done a fantastic job.
Ah, and, of course, again, sorry for the arch.
[laughter]
Let's all make a toast to the bride and groom!
Cheers!
- [all] Cheers! - Congratulations!
Yep.
- [woman] Cheers! - [man] Congratulations!
[Leif clears throat]
Yes, uh…
Dear friends!
Soon, we'll meet Bertil,
who's hitching the young couple.
But, uh,
Dag, now I'd like you to sing
some truly, really authentic Gotlandic schnapps music.
- Alright. Yes. - [Leif] Ha! Good!
I think we should sing "Thanks for the Schnapps".
- [many people] Yes! - [Dag] Most of you know that one.

- [Maj-Gun] Ah, that's lovely. - Mm.
Then you must really know each other well, yes?
- [Linda] Yeah. - Are you enjoying it?
Mm. Yeah, yeah, definitely yeah.
That was a nice young man I put next to you, eh?
[chuckles]
- Yup. - You know, Marco is single.
Which he can carry on being, if you ask me.
We were a couple, but then, uh,
the arsehole cheated on me with an event coordinator, so…
It was one of those… conference fucks?
[chuckles]
Precisely.
[both laughing]
- You look so good in that. - Thanks.
- Hi. - Hi. Do you mind me stealing Samuel?
No, of course not.
- Well, see you later. - Yeah.
- Well? - What are we doing?
- About? - About this.
Yeah. Well, maybe… maybe I can, um…
can speak to my… my mum
about it, and say that--
So you have no plan?

Mm.
- Hey, Linus. - Hi.
You got ice cream. Is it nice?
More!

[Hanna chuckles] Ooh!
[Hanna gasps]
Oh no!
Samuel! It's all over my Gotlandic dress!
What's happened?
[sighs]
Oh…
No, it's chocolate.
You can't get rid of it?
Oh…
Maybe it doesn't show.
No, you mustn't get married in a ruined gown.
[disconsolately] No. [sniffs]
W… what do we do?
I mean, you do have your own dress with you?
Yes, I do.
I mean, it's not as nice though.
I'm so sorry, Hanna.
[whimpers]

[Jessie] That's what I should've done.
- [Hanna] How do you mean? - Hmm.
With the dress. Smart.
Tell Linus… thanks.
Hanna,
I'm so glad you're gonna be my sister-in-law.
So am I.
- Can I ask you a question? - Yeah.
Do you think Samuel's… a mummy's boy?
- A wuss? - What?
No. Why do you ask that?
Well, because we planned this wedding,
and then they just took over.
- And Samuel didn't say a thing. - He's afraid of Maj-Gun.
Kristian is too.
They won't dare stand up to her.
What Maj-Gun says goes. She knows best.
[Maj-Gun] Hello, Hanna.
Now, I've been thinking some more about the mark on the dress,
and… and I've come up with a plan.
[Hanna] Mm?
Look. My grandmother wore this when she got married, and…
Well, it would mean a lot to me if you wore it. Her bridal veil.
I think it makes up for what happened with that special dress.
Thanks.
You're going to look so very fine.

Yes. Yes. No.

Oh yeah? What kind of favour?
Well, Samuel, my… my youngest, is getting married, you see.
But it's a lay service, right?
No, no, no, it's not like that.
They absolutely want a priest.
And when did they come round to that?
No, they always wanted one, but…
but I misunderstood them, you see.
Hang on, you wanted a civil ceremony?
Yeah! No, no, no…
I'm a…very traditional follower.
I'm not a biblical literalist,
but I'm very, very Christian.
I really don't remember seeing you at church services often.
'Cause I sit all the way at the back, right out of sight.
- [Lars] Uh… - Well, here.
Here are all the papers,
so you can see that all is in order.
[Lars mumbles]
Kjellner?
Yeah.
Right. Right. Well, yeah, I'll come now. I just have to get prepared.
God bless you, Lars!
Hallelujah!
Okay.
So things didn't go exactly as you thought they would, you know?
- Things went a little astray. - Yes, that's right.
But, Hanna, you can't… you can't literally control every specific thing in your life.
For certain, you'll be mega mad, gone.
- You sound just like Samuel. - Yes, maybe I do.
Now, we could be saying the same things 'cause we… we love you.

I know my daughter pretty well.
I can tell when she's feeling good.
And today definitely isn't one of those.
So what do you say?
Shall we put a stop to this spectacle while there's still time?
D'you know what you are to me?
No, I don't give a shit what you think of me.
We're not here to chat about me.
A strange thing occurred a little while ago.
Oh?
I overheard your brother gossiping away to some other country bumpkins.
And it sounded like you'd said that this marriage,
quite frankly, to Hanna, is purely to mess with me.
Yeah, absolutely not.
From your reaction, it seems that might be true.
But have you spoken to Hanna about it?
No? Probably not.
I think it's a good idea.
She'd probably think it was incredibly romantic.
[sighs]
But perhaps you don't dare.
Maybe you want some help. I can help you with that, you know.
What d'you reckon?
- [unsettling music playing] - [cheering]
[laughs]
What the fuck is going on now?
[whimsical music playing]
[cheering]
- Hi. - [Maj-Gun] Hi. Welcome.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
[Maj-Gun] Well done. Yes. [chuckles]
Hi. Samuel.
Lars.
I'm very glad you could do it.
Well, of course I'll turn up.
Especially when I'm asked by the congregation's most devoted member.
- Leifen! - These are the bride's parents.
Martin Kjellner.
Lars.
Hi, Helene.
Hi. [giggles]
- Long time no see. - Mm-hmm.
[laughs] What the fuck's going on here?
Did you two know each other?
Yes, we did. It was in another life.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Yes, we…
Perhaps we don't have to rush the whole ceremony
or whatever you call it?
Would you like perhaps a glass of wine? Or a beer?
A glass of wine'd be lovely.
Red, please.
- Yes. - Like Christ's blood.
Not everything has to have biblical references, Leif.
No, sorry. Sorry.
Well, I'll go and get Hanna.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Now, shall we all sit down on the benches?
[breathes deeply]
- Mum? - Yes?
Listen. Hanna just doesn't want to wear the veil.
- And I don't want her to either. - No?
It doesn't go in the slightest.
So there it is. There's not going to be any veil.
There's absolutely no need to raise your voice.
Everything's fine. I just asked her if she'd like it.
[chuckles] Don't take it so to heart.
- Is she in there? - Yeah.
And she knows it's a priest?
Before that, I studied economics in Uppsala.
Oh?
It was around that time we got to know each other.
[Lars] That's right.
And then you show up here. A little bizarre.
Yeah.
It's a small world, isn't it?
But then one day, you were called by God for the…
Oh, my… For heaven's sake! Leif.
Sorry.
[Maj-Gun] Maybe we should get started.
Yeah, sure. It would be great if I could go in and get my robes on.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come with me. - [Lars] Thanks.
Just leave it. Yeah?
[door closes]
So there's a priest here now.
I know you don't want that. So I can go and explain to him.
- It's okay. - What?
You're… certain?
Mm.
And I mentioned the veil to Mum, and I said you don't want to wear it.
- Yeah? How was that? - She said, "No problem."
What?
- I was surprised as well. - [gasps]
We ready now?
Um, yeah, there's… there's just one thing that I must, uh,
admit.
I asked you marry me
because I love you more than anything.
Yes?
But, um…
um, um, um, it could be, a little part of me could have done it to
infuriate your father.
You know what an arsehole he can be to me. What about Christmas Eve?
How utterly vile he was to me on Christmas Eve?
And you asked on Boxing Day.
- Yeah. - Purely to get at my father?
No. No.
No, because I love you.
B-- bu-- but, yes, it might have provoked me in deciding to do it then.
Okay, that… that's enough.
This day, that was supposed to be our day,
has seriously become the worst day of my…
that I don't want to… to remember.
But… Don't…
- I… I'll go and tell the priest. - [sighs]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Well, Pastor,
what a surprise.
Yes, it… For me too.
[Helene giggles]
Did it just… happen?
Or did God bring us together again? [giggles]
- They say God works in mysterious ways. - [both chuckle]
[Helene inhales deeply]
Yeah.
You haven't aged one bit.
Neither have you.
And are you still working as a barrister?
No, no. Well, yes, I did. I worked for a short period,
but I haven't done it for a while.
The last 20 years or so, I've mostly been a housewife.
[Lars] Mm. Mm.
- Lars, can I ask…? - Mm-hmm.
Was it when it ended between us that you…
you became a priest?
[exhales]
Sort of.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's not tough, being a priest.
[both chuckle]
And I… I don't have to live a life of celibacy.
- [both chuckle] - [Helene] That's great!
That's helpful to know.
- [romantic music playing] - [Lars sighs]
[kisses]
[pop song in Swedish playing]
[pop song in Swedish continues]
[door opens, closes]
What the fuck you lying here for?
It's time, you know.
There isn't gonna be a wedding. It's your fault.
My fault?
Yes.
You've been going on and on,
telling everyone about Martin, and he heard.
Ah, no. So he wasn't impressed?
How the fuck could you let me down, huh?
Don't. Fuck, sorry, Samuel. I didn't mean to.
[sighs] But this could be, in fact, all for the best.
"For the best"?
Yeah, but now you don't have to do it for the wrong reason.
Do you love Hanna?
Yeah, 'course I do.
In which case, there really isn't a problem.
Getting married is mostly legal shit.
Real love keeps going. Stands on its own two feet.
I don't know if I have a leg to stand on any longer.
Hey.
Just trust me.
[traditional Swedish music playing]
Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for the wonderful music!
Now let's please assemble for the procession down to the lake.
Everyone, my brother has something to say to you.
The wedding's off, been stopped.
- [man] What? - What?
I know Hanna and I think it's best to cancel it.
- What? - Yes, that's good!
Or, I mean, that's tragic.
That you and I won't be related.
- That's such a shame. - Hey, Martin.
Maybe you and I should go behind the barn and have a talk, don't you think?
So the Gothenburgers have lost face now?
You're an arsehole!
- [Helene] No, no, stop Martin! - [Maj-Gun] No… No!
[groans]
- [Leif groans] - [Marco] Sorry, Leif. It was an accident.
Help me!
- Dad? - [concerned murmuring]
- [Maj-Gun] You alright? - No, my arm.
- [Maj-Gun] Your arm? - Yes.
That's what's called karma.
You, you pack up your things and go. There's a nasty smell around you.
[chuckles] Helene? We're going.
[Maj-Gun] Lie still. Easy, Leifen.
We'll call the ambulance.
What a day.
Yeah, it never ends.
It's an opportunity.
Martin! Martin!
Uh, can I help you with your packing?
[poignant music playing]
[breathes shakily]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[exhales deeply]
Forgive me, Leif. I'm so sorry.
It wasn't your fault.
Maybe we should leave an ambulance here all night.
No. No, that's… I think that's enough for now.
- Shall I come with you? - What are you thinking?
Just look after the guests.
Just all the decent ones.
Yes, of course, yes.
[engine starting]
[music swells]
- Yeah, did you see it? It was… - Sorry, have you seen Hanna?
Hanna?
Oh, yeah, yeah, Hanna. She went off on a bike.
She took off in that direction.
- She did? - Yeah. She went off over there, yeah.
- Yeah, thanks. - She didn't look very happy.
Want to be by yourself?
[inhales deeply]
Oh, it's been a day to remember.
Yeah.
[inhales deeply]
I feel so sorry for them,
especially Hanna.
She had planned this day so carefully, to the letter.
If someone had planned this day the way it has turned out,
they would've had to be a total lunatic.
Quite sure you could have planned a day like this.
Absolutely. [chuckles]
A real Marco day.
I know that you hate me.
I need you to know that it didn't mean anything.
Really.
What?
I wanted you to feel jealous. That's the reason I tried to cheat on you.
What for?
Because it felt like you didn't care about us any longer.
Like you were slipping away.
So you created your master plan?
[inhales deeply, sniffs] Yep.
[sniffles]
What d'you mean, you tried?
[Marco] Nothing happened.
I couldn't do it.
So why say you did?
To see how you would react.
[scoffs] I can't believe how idiotic you are.
And ugly.
Well, now you say it…
- Mm? - [tender music playing]
You're idiotic and ugly.
[both chuckle]
You just really want me to…
Hit me.
Coward.
[both laugh]
Harder. [laughs]

I'm staying right here.

We're getting the fuck out of this spectacle.

Hi.
Samuel.
Hanna.
I was at a wedding over there.
It wasn't a great success.
We were at the same one. I think we were, yeah?
I think this is where they're getting married, in fact.
But what for? It's so unnecessary.
I've been thinking the same thing.
[poignant music playing]
The important thing is they love each other, right?
Hope they do.
I know that he's crazy about her.
Completely crazy.
He can't live without her, he said.
Oh yeah?
Yes, he said so, just now. I heard him.
[music swells]
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
[music fades]
What the hell gives with you lot?
Normally, we have such very quiet parties in the farm garden.
[gentle music playing]
[male paramedic] Here we go.
- [Linda] Taking him to hospital? - [female paramedic] Right.
- Can I go with him? - Yeah.
Linda?
You're not together any longer.
[engine starts]
Linda, come back. You're not a couple any longer. Oh, for fuck's--
Hey. I think you should be going back to the mainland.
- Now! - [music fades]
[Jacob panting]
[Jacob pants]
Practical, having wheels, isn't it?
[hopeful music playing]
What would you have done if Martin had actually punched you?
I would have handled it, I'm certain.
Uh-huh?
I am a black belt in karate.
- What? [laughs] - Yes.
Yes, I'm a seven-time winner
of the Swedish Church's karate championship for priests.
- Nah, you're joking. - No, no, it's true.
There's usually just four of us competing, but I still think it's… it's great to win.
[laughs]
Yeah…
I'm going to have… a lot to deal with, I guess, when I'm home, so…
- Yeah. - Maybe we could just…
see each other in the, uh, future?
- [pop song in Swedish playing] - You know where I live.
Good night.

THE CELEBRITY CHEF'S FAILED PARTY
Hi.
What time is it?
- Half past seven. Hmm. - [music fades]
Do you sleep at all?
- But it's okay. - [chuckles]
Thanks for coming with me.
Have they said when I'll be able to get out of here?
- [places cup on table] - Not too long, I hope.
It's only a little concussion.
[Marco] Yeah?
I can't really remember what went on exactly.
Um, what happened?
Jacob hit you with a big plank.
And then… you were in the ambulance.
So where is he?
- Who? - Jacob.
Who's Jacob?
[chuckles]
Yeah, what else? Mm…
[sucks teeth] Mm.
Oh. Oh yeah, I remember.
You proposed to me in the ambulance.
- You for real? - Yes.
W-- what did you say, then?
That you're an idiot.
[sighs] Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Then I said yes.
What?
'Cause I'm also an idiot.

- [Linda] No, no, no. - [Marco laughs]

[Helene] Do I have to pay for this?
No, no, no. It's all included.
Very good!
Is it true?
- Do you mean your father? - Yes.
[sighs] It's just overwhelming. I can't take it any longer.
Mum.
I just can't.
Yeah.
Although I love Papa, I've been wondering how much longer you could carry on.
It's gone on far too long.
[Hanna] Yeah.
And what about… the priest?
- No, we just go back a long way. - [engine starts]
[Hanna] Mm?
Yeah, for now.
That could change.
[both chuckle]
I'd like to apologise again for all the damage we've caused.
- It is what it is. - Okay.
- Are you coming back later in the summer? - Yes, we must do.
Will we have a wedding then?
- No. - No.
No!
You shouldn't.
It leads to problems, it seems.
Yeah.
You look like you're doing perfectly all right without it.
- Yeah, we're good. - [Maj-Gun] Ah…
Mm…
Here comes Leifen.
[Hanna gasps]

Hey, it's a very good job that you're still here.
You can take Linda and Marco's stuff with you.
- How is he? - [Leif] He's fine.
They're getting married!
- What? - Say what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He asked. She said yes.
- Oh my God, wow! - [Maj-Gun] Fantastic!
[Helene] Wonderful!
- Yes, let's… - Yes. Aw!
See you, Mum.
- Take care. - [Helene] And I'm sorry. Yes. Yes!
Nah, it's fine.
Big bro.
Samuel.
Hey, I see Jessie's driving.
Yeah. No, a few months ago, I lost my driving licence, so it…
Fourteen speeding tickets.
It was a bit too much for the transport department.
- [Samuel] Fuck. - I don't mind. I sit and look at the view.
Yeah, you can try to say you don't mind.
I tell you, when he lost his licence, it was a blessing.
[all laughing]
No, in fact, it's no fun at all.

There.
- [Hanna] Okay. - Let's do it.
