01x02 - Perhe koolla

[bunniefuu]

It's so nice to have all family together.
-Hey mister! Morning coffee is waiting.

Leave that tape recorder already
and come and have some coffee.

"Posmottaa" alone in the car
as Kivennapa's "vallesmanni."

You have no sense of diplomacy.
-What? -You propose selling just now!

You should think first and
talk afterwards.

I guess I have a right to say,
what I think.

Yes, but your way of presenting
things too directly annoys others.

You seem greedy and selfish.

I have a right to say,
what I think...,

and it has nothing to do
with my selfishness.

I think I am the only one in our family,
who uses common sense.

Dad and mom don't have any chance
to continue running the farm,

now that dad got a heart attack.

Erkki only drinks. I guess I can
say it out loud? -Be silent now!

Erkki went on the field already early
in the morning. -It's part of the disease.

You saw his condition yesterday.
-That was yesterday.

I will help.

Is it Eeva! Thank you.

Is it Erkki driving on the field?

I'm trying to think everyone's best.

It would be best for mom and dad to
move in the village.

Listen, your mom and dad
won't move out from here.

This is their home, whole life.
-You think you know it.

Does grandma still own the farm?
-Risto doesn't know about it either.

It makes selling more difficult.
-If somebody would sell.

But nobody isn't.

Why hasn't grandma transferred
the farm to mom?

Does grandma even have testament?

Who knows.

Talk to grandma about it,
as a lawyer.

No I won't!
It is not my responsibility!

I go to drink coffee.
Please follow.

Risto: Double-check that client,
we don't want any surprises.

Call me when the thing is clear. Bye.

A telephone in the car!

Brother has become a big boss.
-Little manager maybe.

Little manager!
What shall we do with Erkki?

I don't know. You cannot get a job
here without education.

He should stop drinking, goddammit!

Then could think about this Lepp?vaara...

I trust Erkki, if he does not drink.
-So do I.

Do you recall, when we used to write
autographs after the olympics?

As long as it was Metsola Whoever
it was good enough.

Could really be proud of Erkki that time.

One girl fell in love with me once
just because I am Erkki's brother.

That's why you went to Sweden.
-Don't bother! There were other reasons.

Heikki, would you tell Kristina,
that you can come and eat here?

Certainly.

If it is okay.
If it does not trouble you too much.

It does not trouble at all.
-Thank you.

Thank you for the coffee.

Annikki... I don't think I can take
coffee anymore. -Go for it.

We were discussing with Jaana,
what you could with Lepp?vaara.

We discussed the same thing with Risto.
-Selling is the last method.

We could figure out something else.
All I have in Finland is this.

Lepp?vaara is Finland for my family,
goddammit.

All you can do,
depends on grandma.

(Auto radio plays topical program.)

Is it Raija? -Yes, live broadcast.
That's why she couldn't come here.

In the background of mass movements
were the requirements of -

democratization of universities,
controversial international questions -

and critisism of western
consumerist society.

Next week 20-year old
culture political movements and -

and modern mistakes will be reviewed
from today's point of view.

Thank you. It went well.

Would you leave me the interview tapes,
I'll make a copy and a summary.

Do you continue still? -Not today.

Except maybe with a steak, red wine and
good company... -Good.

I'll volunteer.

Pretty! Who are these?
-It is very old picture.

It is Kari Kaukovaara's
grandfather's father -

and your grandmother's mother.

They were siblings.

Oh yeah?

Then Kari Kaukovaara's grandfather
and my grandfather are cousins.

In other words Kari's father and
our mother are little cousins. -Yes.

(Knock.)

This is where you are?
We have been waiting for you.

We just stayed to see some old photos.
Take Marianne. -No thank you.

Kari Kaukovaara is related to us.

Mom has talked about it.
-Oh, not for me.

There was a scandal behind it. Farm owner's
daughter Aino Kaukovaara married a tenant.

The man had no name,
so it was taken based on farm.

That is why mom is also Lepp?vaara.

It was not a scandal!

Every house was poor those days.

I was also working as a maid
at Kaukovaara -

before I got married with
the owner of this farm.

Afterwards things are spoken and exaggerated.

Grandma used to work at Kaukovaara?
-Yes I was.

Why nobody has told me anything?

There is a lot, what small pots
don't know but still boil.

Let's not talk about old things.

Does grandma have testament?
Jaakko can help, if no.

Jaakko is Master of Laws.

What would I, old person,
do with a testament?

Hi! You work so hard that
sweat keeps flowing.

Hangover sweat it is.
-That's what I was afraid.

You shouldn't drive. -It is ok
on home fields. -I see.

I guess it was quite a scene
when I came home. -In a police convoy!

You should have seen Jaana's expression.

Usually they leave me at the crossing.

Usually! So you come home in
a police convoy often?

Why did you go drinking now,
when mom and dad need help?

I just did.

It's not necessary for you to drink.
-I guess not.

They kicked me out from coaching job.

I cannot even join the service team.

They embarrassed me completely.

You have so many achievements
you could share some.

Apart from that you got many
opportunities to recover.

It was not due to booze.

Others drink as well.
-But not every day.

Don't you preach too,
so many do it.

This was the only this week.
-Even that was too much. Admit!

Ha ha haa!
-Try at least. Get a job.

At this age? Somebody should have
forced me to study before.

Teachers and everyone else only
cared about my sport achievements -

not grades on math.

Everything was forgiven,
as long as I skied.

Everybody was supporting.

Now everybody just laugh.

Who cares about a man,
who got bronze in a ski-team?

Winners are recalled and honoured.
Nobody else matters.

No use to fall into self-pity.

You have a cabinet full of awards.
You have seen the world.

Quite many is envious.

Can you get rid of booze without help?

I can get rid of it, if I want to.
-Hopefully so.

You can still get back to the top,
if you want. -Don't be childish!

I have skied my skiings.
-I'm not talking about skiing, silly!

Hi. I will go and get dad from
health center.

and I will stop by in Kaukovaara also.

I'll take you. -No you don't! Go and
drink coffee. On foot, not with tractor!

J?k?ti j?k?ti!

To the top... Heh heh!

What do they want? Come with us?
-Of course.

Could someone lend a car?
I should go and get dad from healthcare center.

If the leaders won't dare to
give theirs, take mine.

I don't think you should go driving around with
that "house". Take my BMW.

It's a bit easier to drive.
-I need to visit Kaukovaara as well.

-Go ahead, no problem. -Thanks.

Ok, you can go!

I really have to go and make a call.
-Call from TVH's tent.

No, I really need to call about this
road matter.

I think he run out of strength.

Heat up the sauna, Jaakko.
-Ok, I'll ask Jaana.

Don't ask, but command,
that puts the sauna heating.

I guess you manage well with
your Swedish. -It's kind of necessary, -

if one wants to be successful.

Your kids don't really understand Finnish.

It's difficult, when being there.

Kristina thinks Finnish is very difficult,
and that it wouldn't really benefit her.

She studies Italian and Spanish though.
It's more colorful.

It's hard to force kids.

How's things at Tampere? Lasse and Liisa?
-No problems.

Liisa has matriculation examination in
the spring and Lasse is in Reserve Officer School.

Liisa is dating guys already.
I think she has a secret boyfriend.

I guess she's at that age...
-Lasse plans to apply to TKK, and that's good.

That's gonna be tough to get in.
-But boy is tough too, like his mom.

You can go already. -I'm amused to be here.
-Are you embarrassed? -No.

Officer student Metsola with his bride.
-What's up man?

-Your holiday's ending? -It does.
I think you were supposed to be in Turku.

I'm going there.
-So what are you doing here?

I came to see one of my aunts.
-An aunt, I see.

This is my roommate from RUK-school,
Eklund's Stigu.

This is my little sister.
-I am his mistress.

Let's go, train is leaving.
-I'll stay here. -Why?

I cannot leave this pretty lady here alone.
-She is my little sister!

I'll stay here, bye. You are in wrong train
by the way. -Am I? Oh damn!

Bye!

There is always something fun with Lasse.

On the other he also fits very well
in military career. -What?

Haven't you heard? Lasse has applied to
Military Academy. -I don't believe it!

You haven't heard? -Well no! Oh my god!
-Maybe I shouldn't have said.

Don't tell anyone. -I won't.
-Promise! -Ok, ok.

Shall we go eat pizza? With vanilla sauce?
Or chocolate sauce?

Or do you have sweetheart waiting?
-Not right now.

Then let's go. -Yes, let's go.

There you are already. Let's go in.
-I cannot stay now.

I'm on my way to get dad from Healthcare.

Drinking coffee won't take long.
-You had something important?

Yeah... How far are your studies?

Could you take over at Health care center?

Yeah, I've been doing those
for two years already.

If all goes well, a year from now
I should be graduating.

So then what? -It's hard to hire
doctors to Hoikka.

We have three vacant positions,
but only one is fulfilled.

And the community physician should
also get chance to have vacation.

As a chairman of the municipal council
I thought to make use of this opportunity

So could you come and take over?

Of course you will get paid.

Salary I mean and travel expenses...

Can I consider this as a deal?

When can you start?
Or you need to time to think?

I could call, when I know when I have exams
and other things in order. Ok?

Certainly.

When you are driving around here,
welcome to visit.

We could sit down, talk a bit more
and spend some time.

So I still wonder wouldn't you
come and have coffee?

I really need to go now.

I will call you.

This is not really a nice place. Let's go.
-Isn't this pretty good? -No!

Let's go elsewhere.
-Wherever the lady wants.

What have you taken?
And for how long?

I've been waiting on
a neutral soil -

so that they wouldn't catch me back.
Look, what they gave me to eat.

I see, 0,5 milligram nitro.

Keep it with you. It's good and
helps for sure. -That's what they say.

Nitroglycerin...
It's ardent substance to explode.

We used to detonate a complete bridge away
during the "great logging site".

Nowadays need to be careful with Annikki,
she doesn't like "clapping" the doors.

I see! Come on now.

Let's drive carefully and
don't you take whole can at once -

so Jaakko's car remains undamaged.
-Has Jaakko called to road district?

Now that we got "amisjuuni",
we shall start attacking.

Sauna is ready.
How's the water?

Warm.

Hei!

This will be avenged!

Well well... -The sauna...

Welcome to Metsola spa...

Here blind start seeing and
crippled throw their sticks -

and otherwise all handicaps get healed.

Appears more like massage establishment.

Is it going alright otherwise?

Sun is shining?
-Yes, sceneries are beautiful.

Are there any greater shortages?
-Bring them here!

Boys are asking to sauna.
Let's see after awhile.

Have you called to mom?
-Not yet.

She will only get upset in vain.

I'll need to practise this pill
sucking on my own.

How come this kind of matter
suddenly occurs to healthy man...

It's not right.

You didn't bring Raija along?
-No, she's working.

So should I actually.
-But you came anyway.

Raija guessed, that I am not going to die yet.
-We didn't come because of that.

So here we are batheing,
even we shouldn't.

But beer drinking is not forbidden.
-That's for sure.

I finally reached the engineer from TVL.

Quite a story teller.

This engineer told that -

Kaukovaara's Kari has donated
Lintuj?rvi to be nature preservation area.

That is why TVL is now constructing
the road on this of the hill.

That guy has c*ck's nature!

And that is not all.

They have also decided that Lepp?vaara
doesn't need an exit from the new highway.

Isn't that a case for criminal investigation?
-That's what I said to him actually.

He just said that it's a matter to be
discussed at meetings.

Kari is sly and pettifogging!

We will have to drive many extra kilometres!

And goddammit,
I'm not going to evacuate anymore.

Now we need to fight against hard.
-Don't get upset, dad.

It'll be alright.
TVH is not an emperor though.

No, but it'll be hard to
challenge these decisions.

They will just spread their arms,
that it's final what's decided.

That road may become beneficial too.
-I don't think there's nothing but loss!

It will affect the future of the farm.

I think we should go and have coffee at grandma.

Goddammit! -Dad...

I don't like this!
Why did you bring me here!

I want mom! -Look straight ahead
and breathe deep.

Does someone want more coffee?
-I could take some.

Hay is not looking that good.
-Looks not important, as long as it's tasty.

Hope the weather stays dry,
it'll get better.

Farmor... -What is it, darlings?

Of course, go away.

Boys asked, that can they go to
shed to see calf.

Oh... Go ahead.

Dad! Now you should stop eating egg butter.

That's enough for five pies.
-H?p? h?p?!

All my life I have eaten carelia pies -

and back then my dad and mom also ate -

and before then their dad and mom.
And all of them lived, before they died.

And nobody ever blamed carelia pies
for their death.

Mom, you need to watch dad.

In the frying pan advertisement it was said,
that Finns eat too much fat -

at least in East-Carelia.

That's why they all die due to heart attack.

In Sweden there's research done,
that concluded it isn't exactly so.

They diagnozed you?
How else they could know?

Don't you just eat bunnies and pills there?

That's why they are such plum cheeks.

Everything is forbidden nowadays,
fat and butter -

and real milk isn't good either,
and cream.

It's okay to take fish oil though,
that's alright.

Sugar is forbidden too, and shouldn't fry.
-And salt is forbidden.

And potato. -Eat like before, but avoid greases.

And mom guards, that dad eats some salad too.

Are you going to keep growing hays?

Sure, nothing else is profitable than
stock raising, if even that.

Isn't state giving rather good subsidies?

It's a prerequisite actually.

Should say like the old woman -

who was at post office picking up child
allowances and crop failure compensations:

"No matter was it husband, c*ck or frost,
Kekkonen always pays the bill."

(Antti laughs.)

Hmh... Perkele, how could that happen...

Now this went to Kekkonen's bill.
-Let it be, I'll put it dissolving.

Even though these dissolve substances
shouldn't be used anymore.

Coffee is forbidden too. And lichen,
because it contains that "bekkerel".

What is that?

Äh, I can't recall... Heikki,
what is "produce" in Swedish?

Tillverka... Gjorda.

I want to ask, are Kristina's shoes
made in Italy?

Är dina skor tillverkade i Italien?

"Made in Taiwan." -Taiwanissa...
-Dom ?r j?ttesk?na! (exclusively beautiful)

There is quite a bit work to do,
but I guess you can fix it.

I sure have time.

So you got rid of the old one?

Joo, I gave it to one friend to pay my debt.

Let's go to have coffee.

What will you do,
when grandma's cottage goes?

Is TVH going to build a new one?
-I don't want new.

They will pay it.
-I don't know...

Or what, Jaakko? -What?
-We were talking about grandma's cottage.

They will pay, but not that much.

This is just fine house.

It must be enough so that grandma
has place where to live.

It won't cost that much.
-Grandma will move to live with us.

Moves, moves! We have plenty of space
now that children have moved away.

I won't come to live with you.

If state doesn't let old person
die in her own house -

have to go to poor's house.
-It's called home for the elderly.

There is good company and also nursing.
-I don't long for company.

I am done with my datings.

Me, old person, in this age would go
and live with other dummies!

I won't take reindeer water!

(Laughing.)

I will take you home.

Anybody else wants reindeer water?

I could take one beer.

It is like medicine for the old wounds.

Mom, wouldn't it be proper, that mom
would transfer the house under your name?

Well, it's been left in the air,
as the house was meant for my brother.

But he was lost in the w*r.

Uncle was pronounced dead already in
1940's. -You never know.

What's chirping?
-My phone is ringing in the car.

We go down to cottage now.
Thank you very much.

Erkki, you should have that kind of
beeping device too.

They would reach you no matter where you were
if there was job to do.

Well why don't you get one.

And a phone in the car.

You need to understand,
this is my home!

There's trouble at work, I need to go.

Boys have been setting up exhibition,
but someone has painted wall panels wrong.

I'll go with you.
I need to read for exams.

Take me to village,
I forgot my wallet there.

They have it in safe place.
-You forgot your wallet?

Then how did you get here,
if you didn't have cash?

Or did Martti give you credit?
-There are ways -

like police ride.
-Don't you dare, Antti.

Where are you all going suddenly?

I got the same issue: tomorrow
I need to report at workplace.

Jaana can stay. -I can't! Three customers
are scheduled for early morning.

Always you all leave...

Erkki, try to make it back at sensible time.

Hays are not going to fly
on the poles on their own.

Heikki is still staying. When he and
Erkki together start -

it won't take that long.

Hei hei!

Let's stop by grandma.
-Why not.

It would be nice to visit and talk.
-Bye!

Now they are gone...
-So they did.

Should have done few more kids -

so could have got hays gathered.
-Why didn't you do?

Didn't come every time.

Well.

Fancy for Marianne?
-No thank you, I don't mind sweets.

How about Jaakko? -Thanks but no.

We came to suggest, that if grandma
would come and live with us in Sotkamo.

We have plenty of space.
-Good god with you!

Me living in the city!

I go to Kajaani once a year at most.

Sotkamo is much smaller and nicer town.

It's certainly better choice than
municipality's house for the elderly.

Would bring along variety for grandma.
-I don't long for variety.

You are kind, that you think of me.

If grandma would consider.
-I want to be in the own home.

We have indoor toilet too.
And electric sauna.

Oh good father with you!

This can truly be called a car.
-Can't deny.

Have you decided anything? -What?

What you are going to do?
-Have to get hays on the pole -

and watch for Antti, that he wouldn't
stir up too much.

What's left? Casual work, welding and such.

You'd like to take care of the farm?
-Why not, but not looking praiseworthy.

You'd make a living for sure.
-I would.

And terrible fear all the time,
that it can fail.

And lots of work.

It's the same in every place,
if you do it for yourself.

Farming is not an exception.

But at least there is no boss
persipiring. -No, but bank is.

For most.

Thanks. Drive safely.
-See you again. -Watch for elks.

Erkki, take it easy, so dad will too.

Erkki, hi. -Hi hi. You got my wallet?

Here, Let's go for a beer.

I won't. -What's up now? Let's take beer now.

No, it's over for me. -Jaa, jaa.

Let's see tomorrow.

Come on now.

Should fill these out. -One moment.

I need to go home. Dad comes home from a trip
and he forgot the key...

I promised to let him in.
I didn't recall at all.

Come back then.
-I don't know when he comes.

It can come any time at all.

I'm sorry.
You aren't angry? Sorry.

Liisa, just go, if you need to go.
I don't get offended.

I dare to sleep alone too.

You are nice.

Good night.

Hei hei! -See you in dreams!

So no extra bed?

No extra bed.

There it is now, and lasts.

Until breaks.

Shall I make coffee? -Sure.

It's like new.

How much I owe?
-It was a small task.

It took time,
and insane about of rods.

I don't dare to charge anything.

Erkki, pst...

Tsa-dai-da!

Take this anyway.
-Let's share it.

Pst...

Should tighten the nut,
it is loose...

Good evening. Driver's licence and
registration extract.

And powerful blow.

The indicator shows a little bit.
