Part 35: Money matters
In October 1992

That meeting is really dragging on.

If Erkki doesn’t call soon and let us know the
voting results, I’ll go to the town hall myself.

Well, maybe they don’t even know yet.

They wouldn’t stay up all night
just for one matter, would they?

If they’re taking this long to debate such a clear-cut issue, it just
shows that they don’t understand anything about business or running the slopes.

Oh, don’t get so worked up. A
decision of this magnitude takes time.

I’m going there.

No, you’re not. Call them.

But I don’t even know the number.

For heaven’s sake, it’s right there in the phone book in
front of you. Look it up. Hoikka Municipality. Town Hall.

Well, of course, I know
about the town hall.

I wouldn’t call the fire station.

If you can even read the letters.

Well, here it is. Town hall.

Yeah.

Perälä’s proposal...

...based Bank Manager
Nieminen's offer.

Municipality of Hoikka, Town hall.

Hello.

It’s nowhere near over yet.
The voting just started.

Yeah.

We’ll see how your Erkki fares.

Yeah. Bye.

Kaukovaara.

No.

Mäntylä.

No.

Nieminen.

Yes.

Nurmi.

Yes.

Partanen.

Yes.

Peltonen.

Yes.

Perälä.

No.

Rahikainen.

Yes.

Takalo.

Yes.

Tuutti.

Yes.

The voting result is announced.

In the voting, 14 votes were in
favor, 5 votes against, and 2 empty.

Based on the voting result, the municipal
council has approved the municipal board's proposal.

The meeting is adjourned.

Well, congratulations. It went
just as it should.

Thank you, thank you.

Listen, Erkki, you've been
a really fair employer.

None of us old employees would have
left for that bank manager either.

Nice to hear.

Congratulations.

Your plans didn't quite
work out this time.

There you are. What you mean my plans?

I was only thinking of the
best interest of the municipality.

Oh, the municipality?

Hey, by the way, you did the right thing
opposing Erkki's debt restructuring at the bank board meeting.

This decision is actually
much better for Erkki.

Thank you, thank you.

Yeah, bye.

We won.

Yeah, that's how it went.

Alright.

Congratulations.

Hey, say hi to Liisa.

I will.

Tell the news.

Hey, I'm really happy for you that this
difficult situation had such a positive resolution.

Well, well. Thank you, thank you.

Well.

Congratulation. I told you not
all council members are fools.

Hey, let's all go to my room.

I have a bottle of something fancy there, and
you can probably get a bottle of sparkling water.

Alright, alright.

Uh, I need to call
Helena. She's at home.

No, I mean at work, nervous.

By the way, you seemed
pretty sure about the outcome.

As I look back on it now.

I was pretty sure.

You can call from my
room. Let's go there.

Let's go.

Really?

Well, I knew you would win.

It's your hill. It belongs to you.

Yeah. Have you called Antti?

You should call him, for
once there's good news.

He's probably waiting already.

Listen, I'm heading to the hotel.
Kari's hunting group is coming there.

Oh, really?

Is that today? I kind of forgot.

Well, I'm coming there anyway.

Yeah. Alright then. Well, bye-bye.

See you.

Alright.

Alright.

That went well. So thanks to everyone.

Yeah.

Best of luck.

But I wonder... Did Kari have
a personal stake in this?

Oh, he did. It was quite
obvious. Others noticed it too.

How might that affect...

Kari's chances in
the municipal elections.

No, it won't. Kari has
a strong support base.

And if it does, we'll see
in a couple of weeks.

But what should I do now?

The decision is only legally binding
at the end of November.

That's true, but I don’t think
anyone will appeal in this case.

And Kari didn’t submit
a dissenting opinion either.

No, so it's best if you start
planning the season’s activities at full speed.

Right.

But what about the bankruptcy trustees?

Well, I talked to one of them today, and he thought this whole
rescue operation would be pointless unless the place gets up and running immediately.

So roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Well then, to work!

Yeah.

I'm off to see Helena,
so thanks again, everyone.

Yes, come in!

Here's the extra pillow and this.

Thank you so much, that's
very kind of you indeed.

By the way, do you know
anything about this trip tomorrow?

No, I’m sorry.

My brother, Kari Kaukovaara, he organize it.
He will be here in the morning.

He'll be here in the morning, okay. So he’ll
be able to tell us all about it then?

Yes.

No problem.

And, breakfast is 7:30 for in café.

Thank you.

Okay, good night.

Good night.

Oh, there you are.

I'd like a wake-up call please, 7:00.

Okay. Room 3? - Room 3.

All right. Good night.

Good night.

It’s wonderful that this
tension is over.

I feel like I couldn’t
have lasted another day.

I’ve been really on edge too.

Sorry if I’ve been snappy with you.

It’s okay. I understand.

The life of an entrepreneur isn’t easy.

What?

Nothing.

Are you in pain?

It’s already passed. This is part of it.

Sit, sit, sit.

You should go

home and rest.

Listen, I can stay here on call.

No way.

I need to get
the breakfast supplies ready.

The hunters leave really early.

Couldn’t Liisa come help?

Well, Liisa prepared all the rooms today and
she’ll come tomorrow to clean and do laundry.

We can’t expect her to
be here day and night.

But you can’t work yourself
to death here either.

Listen.

Once the season starts and the hotel
fully opens, we’ll hire more staff.

Right?

But go get the breakfast supplies from the
car, and I’ll rest in the meantime.

Rest.

That's right. Yeah, we’ll start today.

Yeah, come over.

Well, thanks, thanks, thanks.

It’s definitely needed.

Right.

Yeah, bye.

Hello.

How's it going?

Good morning.

Leena and I both came to work when we heard
from the kiosk yesterday that the job is safe.

Did you come to work too? So is that what the kiosk is
saying? Well, it is safe, but we’re going to be ridiculously busy.

You could start by finding out which former employees
want to continue. Call the slope workers first.

- What tasks would we
figure out for you?

Oh, hey, Heikki called the day before yesterday. He
had something to ask about that snow groomer thing.

Aha, yeah, but we don’t have time for that
now. Call him and tell him we’re busy.

We have to get the slopes fixed before the
first snow comes. We’ve already wasted too much time.

Yeah, I'll call him.

But I need to get going now. Would
you like to color these books here?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's good.

Yep.

Alright, Riitta.

Nalsia.

Work, work.

Bye, bye!

Bye!

Also mittens.

I’m probably the only one in the
family who struggles in the morning.

No you're not. Risto is also.

You can’t keep mom and dad
in bed even in retirement.

Nope.

Hey, do you remember those awful dark winter
mornings when we had to drag ourselves

by the big road so we could
get a ride to school with Romppainen?

Yeah, I remember. It
was terrible. Absolutely horrible.

Then, in my first school year,
I inherited your old strap skis.

Yeah, because I got brand-new
binding skis for Christmas.

They were completely useless.

And then I was afraid
of bears and wolves.

Well, you were afraid of
anything bigger than a squirrel.

Ah, looks like I have to go.

Hey, have a good workday.

Same to you.

Hey, I have the rent money for you.

Oh, good. Just leave it on the table.

Too bad your pub isn't open yet. I
would have come for a beer today.

Yeah, and I lost a customer.

Well, bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Why are you still lounging around here?

It's really late already.

Hmm, so what?

Don’t you have anything to do today?

Nope. Not tomorrow either.

What about the pub license applications?

They've been submitted, now
just waiting for approval.

Listen, I have a
date with Lisbeth today.

And we need to go over
some changes at the pub.

Or at least plan them.

Come on, have some coffee.

I made you a sandwich.

We’ll have to start looking
for a new apartment soon.

I told you, I’m not moving anywhere.

We have no choice.

In three months, we’ll be evicted.

Or the rent will go up so much
we won’t be able to afford it.

This is no longer a company apartment.

Yeah, because there’s no job anymore.

Huhuu!

Anyone here?

Yeah, there is.

Hello.

Oh, hi, Riitta. How’s it going?

Good, now that things are busy again.

Are you here for Erkki? He’s over
at Risto’s. Should I get him?

No, don’t bother them.

Actually, I needed to talk to you.

Hey, could you write up
that invoice for Kari?

For the hunting group’s stay.

Yeah, I can do that right away.

So...

Was there supposed to be
a discount on it?

No, no discounts.

Alright, I’ll go check on
Antti and Annikki. Bye then.

Bye.

Just start planning the exhibition booth. We
need to be visible at the fair.

I’ve already planned it.

Oh?

Yeah, I’ve already done it. Here it is.

You want to see it?

Yeah.

I called Tampere and found out
we’ve been allocated a corner booth.

Wait here, I’ll go let them know.

This looks good.

Hey, that Heikkinen's daughter is here.
She’s asking about a job.

Word travels fast. Invite her in.

Veera!

So, the girl's looking for a job.

Yeah. Last time you said you'd
try to find me something.

Well, what on earth could
we have for you?

What’s that?

This is the exhibition booth for
the Urja Ski Resort in Tampere.

Who’s going to represent us there?

I can go.

Well, Risto, you’ll be going anyway
since you’re building the booth.

And once it’s done, you’ll stay there.

I can go with Risto.

And then I’ll be there too.

There’s also a Finnish Ski Resort Association's meeting,
and Veikko Klemetti could help set up.

Erkki, Erkki.

Do I really have to go?

Anyone can set this up.

Of course, you’re going.

If we have a professional,
why would we hire outsiders?

You’re going, and that’s final.

You’re right.

Well, but I guess we should have some
kind of fair hostess or something like that.

Hey, I could go.

Well, you can't go there,
you have to be here.

I really can.

I have friends in Tampere, I can stay at
their place, and I don't even need any pay.

It's good that the hill thing is sorted.

I've been so worried about it.

And I feel like Erkki
has lost weight too.

Well, he hasn't been eating well lately.

It's different with me.

Yeah, well, you need to take care of yourself and rest
enough, since Liisa says you're almost always at the hotel.

We can't afford to hire extra
workers before the season starts.

I really have to go there
sometimes, as a head woman.

Yeah, well, that's true.

I could make food for you, so
you wouldn't have to worry about that.

I'll bake yeast bread tomorrow. Actually, Metsola-style.
You'll get some for the freezer too.

Oh, you're so kind. Thank you.

Good day.

Well, good day.

Ah, here's the mother
of the future grandson.

What do you mean grandson? It
could as well be a girl.

It can't. It has to be a boy.

Oh, good gracious. We
have four grandsons.

Isn't that enough?

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did you go to get the mail?

Well, yeah, that's my job nowadays.

And it's quite tough work. Five
days a week, rain or shine.

Luckily, I get to rest
for a couple of days.

Well, isn't there coffee offered here?

Yes, yes, of course.

So, how's it going?

Oh, it's going well.

It's nice when things are going well.

Feeling big.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Liisa.

Yes?

We should pay the
loan installment today.

Just pay it.

Yeah, but there's no money
to pay it with.

What do you mean? We should
have money in the account.

Well, we should. But
those election ads...

And we haven't been paid
for those herbs yet.

Yeah.

Hey, I'll ask grandpa if we
could borrow from Leppävaara Ltd.

Yeah.

Wouldn't that be a good idea?

I guess so.

Just go to the school. We'll
meet at the bank after three.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

This was supposed to
be our joint project.

Yeah, it was.

But now your husband is forbidding you
to participate in this. I don't understand.

I'm so sorry.

And you want your share back, right?

That's right.

And also the money... that I
lent you as a deposit.

And all of that, right away?

It can't be that.

Well, that's just how it is.

And if you can't pay it right now...

Then my husband insists that we
make a promissory note for it.

He already wrote up a paper about
it. I have it with me.

Why?

Tell me, Lisbeth.

Why?

My husband said that he clearly remembers
what happened with your brother Risto.

I don't care at all about what your
husband thinks about me or my brother.

I just want to know why.
This was our joint thing.

Yeah, it was. I'm so sorry, Jaana.

Well, you should be.

Give me the paper.

Do you have a pen?

Jaana, I didn't want this.

Bye then.

A Vice Judge handles...

A Vice Judge handles
your legal matters AFFORDABLY.

You're ready to help Erkki.

But now that I would need help...

Yes, yes. But that's
compeletely different matter.

See, that Erkki's loan was related
to operations of Leppävaara Ltd.

If the hill isn't functioning, then there won't
be customers at our caravan area either.

I do know that Erkki only needs to snap his fingers,
and you and mom are ready to do whatever for him.

And now, when it's a
matter of life and death.

A matter of life and death for the pub.

Yeah, yeah. But it has nothing
to do with Leppävaara Ltd.

Thanks a lot.

What's the thing with a pub.

It's one of those Jaana's fusses.

We don't know how much Erkki
needs money for his slope.

Until snow comes and the
slope starts making profit.

There's no money to share with everyone.

If we would've borrowed Jaana now, soon who
knows how many shareholders were behind the door.

Oh, don't exaggerate.

Nobody has came by to ask anything.

Yeah, since we haven't
granted any loan yet.

Hello!

Hello.

So, how did it go?

Did you talk with Antti?

I simply couldn't.

So, what do we do now?

I don't know.

Good day! Do you have something for me?

Well...?

Yeah, we have.

Well. Come in, please.

After the fire, we started
fixing up our house.

While waiting for the insurance money,
we took out this additional loan.

But then we found out that we would
get only part of the compensation sum.

Because the accident was partly
due to our own negligence.

They wrote from the insurance company, that we
should have figured things out before starting repairs.

And since I was partly to blame for the
damage, we only received half of the compensation sum.

And now you are having
difficulties with these loan repayments.

So, would it be possible to
postpone the payment a bit?

Now that the skiing season is starting, I’ll
start receiving regular pay from the hotel.

Let’s do it this time so
that you only pay the interest.

And postpone the repayment
for three months.

And if that doesn’t help,
we’ll have to reconsider things.

Yeah, thank you very much.

Hi.

Hi. Are you still at work?

Well, I’m just about to leave.

But you know, I started
thinking that I should

probably book you a
hotel room in Tampere.

No, I don’t think so.

No?

Well, Erkki said he would call Jaana.

It doesn’t matter where you sleep.

There’s work at the exhibition site
from morning till late night.

How do you think you’ll
manage there with Veera?

We’re doing fine.

I was just thinking, since she’s quite
young and inexperienced in these jobs.

She’s a tough girl.

She’s still quite
young and inexperienced.

She’ll be fine.

But will I manage?

What do you mean?

What? Why wouldn’t you manage?

I’ve started to get nervous
about the whole Tampere trip.

What’s there to be afraid of?

I don’t know.

Pirkkahalli will be full
of old coworkers.

I’m not even sure if
this solution is up-to-date.

I’ve been out of the loop for so long.

Don't be afraid of such
things. This looks good though.

You know what?

Once you’ve handled this exhibition, you could decorate
the office, since it looks so depressing.

Could you?

Well, if that’s okay.

Of course, it’s okay.

What kind of shirts are these anyway?

These are promotional shirts
for the fair. Samples.

Oh.

Nice.

What do you think?

Oh, nice, nice. I wonder if
I could get one too?

Of course.

They’re meant for sale.

Oh, I see.

Well, I’m off now. Bye.

Bye.

Hey, are you heading straight home now?

Well, I was thinking of
heading to bed. Why?

I thought we could go
and have a beer somewhere.

Well, actually, that wouldn’t hurt.

Right.

Let’s go.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Hey, they called from Hoikka that

Risto is coming to us for a few nights
since he’s making that fair stand for Erkki.

You don’t mind, do you?

No, but Eeva also lives with us.

How are we all going to fit?

I can't stand to have
strangers here wandering around.

Strangers? They’re your own
sister and brother.

We can all fit here somehow.

Let’s put Risto to sleep
on the sauna bench.

Well, sure.

And Risto can help me
with grooming the pub.

Well, why not.

Actually, good.

Erkki will pay for the trip, I’ll
take care of the food and...

Accommodation.

You can even pay him a small fee.

What? He gets to stay with us.

What’s this?

An ad.

Besides, I think it’s pretty good.

I’ve always thought that a lawyer who
knows their stuff will definitely find clients.

If only the clients find him.

You even had to add a name on it?

Isn’t just a phone number enough?

What are you...

Jaana!

What do you mean by that?

Add a name on it...

God damned!

I’m starting to feel like this
life of a wanderer is enough.

Aren't you enjoying here?

I enjoy at my work.

It’s really challenging and interesting.

But this living in
other people's spaces...

I know.

It would be so nice to live a...

...regular family life with Stigu.

Does it sound cheesy?

Well, no.

It won’t work there in Parainen.

But couldn’t he move here?

Well, you know how easy it
is to find an apartment.

Then I kind of have this feeling that...

Stigu is so attached to
his father and Parainen that...

If I take him away from there, it
would be like committing a big crime.

Do you feel like you’d
be selfish or something...?

I guess something like that.

But damn...

Next time I start complaining about the
same thing, you better kick me.

Well...

How it's going to be?

Are you going to vote tomorrow?

Oh.

We’ll see.

What’s that?

It’s nothing.

Yes, it is!

You’ve bumped into something again.

Let's go now. It’s this number 1 here.

I wonder how you see it,
since you can't drive the car.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Good day.

Good day, good day.

Good day.

Is this our polling place?

This one, yes.

Thank you.

Here you go.

You go first.

Just don’t write anything other than
the number on the paper.

What are you babbling about?

As if I’ve never voted.

So, the snow came early this year.

Yeah, it did.

Right!

Your Erkki probably likes it.

I mean, the more enthusiastic skiers can spend
their fall break on the slopes too.

Right?

Well, now it’s your turn.

Are you sure you remember Osmo's number?

Don’t speak so loudly now.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Alright.

Off it goes.

Off it went.

Yeah.

Now the civic duty is fulfilled too.

Yeah, that’s how it is.

Yeah, goodbye then.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

It really bothers me when I think about
how much Erkki's slope will cost the municipality.

Yeah, it’s kind of strange how nowadays every
municipality has to start some development project,

which then falls on all of us.

Yeah, right.

To be paid by us ordinary citizens.

Yeah.

I just don’t understand that
Kaukovaara and the others...

That’s not true!

It’s not true.

Quite the opposite.

First of all, the money that the municipality has
invested in saving the slope is like a loan.

It’ll be paid back.

With interest.

- It will be paid back with interest.

And secondly, think about everything that
the slope brings with it.

If it weren’t for Erkki, there
would be a lot more unemployment.

- That’s true.

And thus fewer tax revenues, right?

- That’s right.

And then, like, other...

Hi.

Good day.

Yeah.

Good day.

I can take it.

Good day.

Good day.

- I can take it.

- Thank you.

- Here you go.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Here you go.

And the Greens.

So now.

Now we should be getting some results.

This is just our constituency

Pelkonen has been quite
a vote magnet.

No.

It wasn't.

Well, it'll take time now.

Help, I can't listen and watch.

Then let's go check the situation
in the municipality of Hoikka.

The Green's Osmo Lampinen hasn’t been the same
kind of vote gatherer as Neuvonen in Paltamo.

But with 72 votes, Lampinen secures
a place in the city council.

What? What?

So for the Greens...

Congratulations.

Damn, look at that.

I wonder if Osmo's picture will
show up on TV now?

Now we have a real
politician in our family.

Congratulations now.

It's nice when there's a bit of change.

When it’s always the same old faces.

Huh huh! It was a bit nerve-wracking.

You're the world's best.

I've always known that.

Listen, Osmo...

- Shh, hey...

Be quiet.

Now they’re talking something
about Kari Kaukovaara.

Aha.

Yeah, these 32 votes should
secure him a seat.

Ye... Yes.

Because...

Well, damn!

He went through.

Just barely.

By one vote.

And we’re still staying up
in the Upper Kainuu.

Let’s go to Puolanka.

The independents were
there as well...

You know what I've been thinking?

What?

I could go door to door and talk to each father and
mother separately about how important it is to start waste sorting together.

It’s important for the environment, but
also for the national economy.

Hello, Antti.

Hello.

Are you on a check-up visit?

Well, yeah, you have to tap
those electric cows sometimes too.

Alright. Well, this year the
snow came just in time.

Yes, it did.

Not too early, though.

What do you mean? Isn’t it
good if the season is longer?

The new slopes weren’t ready yet.

Well, they’ll be ready next year.

Yes, yes.

By the way, Kari Kaukovaara, he got
a bit of a bad deal.

A real vote harvester,
as he’s been before.

Well, yeah, it was quite a surprise.

And actually, if you think about it,
it was a really nice surprise.

Yeah.

You haven’t seen Erkki around here?

No, he’s in Tampere at the snow fair.

The snow fair?

Yeah, they have one now.

Yeah, right there.

Risto!

Listen, I have to go to a
Ski Resort Association's meeting in Ilves (restaurant).

Damn!

What’s wrong now?

No, this won't keep up.

But, I won’t make it now,
but we'll meet tonight at Jaana's.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bye, bye, bye.

Alright.

You help, you help.

Veera, hey, come here.

Hold it here.

Hold, hold, hold.

Look, if it’s straight.

Good.

Hold it there.

Metsola, damn.

There it is, good.

Hello.

Long time no see, how’s it going?

Hello.

Not much, nothing special.

Oh.

Are you working around here these days?

No, I’m helping my brother.

Oh.

He has this Ski Urja slope in Hoikka.

Aha, aha.

Do you live around here now?

No.

I live in Hoikka too.

I moved away from
Tampere after the bankruptcy.

Yeah, I tried looking for work
here in Tampere, but no.

There was nothing for an old man.

Then came the divorce, and...

Well...

Would you come back if there was work?

I don’t know.

Listen, I’ve dropped out of
the game a while ago.

Don't talk nonsense, even the kid can
see that you're in top form.

This is actually really good.

Don't.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

One of the best departments
in the whole hall.

Believe me.

Well...

I might have some work for you.

Would you be interested?

Of course I’m interested.

Ah, right.

But look, it’s not worth working for me.

Why?

Well, the tax office hits right away
when they find those unpaid back taxes...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That’s a bad thing, but...

Think about it for a couple of days.

Call me.

Here’s my number.

Think about it and we’ll meet.

I have to keep moving.

Bye. - Bye.

How long should I hold this sign?

It doesn't fit here.

It looks good.

Really good.

Jaakko, hi.

Hi, babe. Good news.

What?

Hey, hey.

Have the pub approvals been accepted?

I don’t know about that, but
the newspaper ad, it worked.

I got a couple of customers right away.

That’s great.

Do you remember that
painting on the wall?

Yeah, that dull one?

Yeah.

So I went to an art dealer
and asked for an appraisal on it.

I see.

Guess what he said?

They said it’s painted by a famous artist, and
they already have a customer lined up for it.

Yeah?

Guess what they were willing to pay?

155,000.

Can you imagine? 155,000.

Go ahead and sell it.

I already did.

Oh.

Good day, Mrs. Nylund.

Good day.

I was just about to go job hunting.

Goodbye, Mrs. Nylund.

Goodbye.

So, you had something to talk about?

Yes, indeed.

Do you have the
promissory note with you?

No, it's with my husband.

Oh, that's a shame. I wish
I could have paid it.

But I can’t pay it now
since it’s with your husband.

You see, I still vividly remember what happened
to my brother when he trusted your husband.

Yeah.

So we’re almost at the end.

The boys have done a good job, too bad you're not
involved, and we plan to make some radical changes there.

Listen, *someone*.

Yeah?

Now that you know these terms, what do you think,
do you think we can make it through this?

I believe you have every chance.

It looks so good, and when we looked at
these upcoming scenarios together for this winter, I think...

...that you have nothing to worry about. Just focus on the
main thing, and economic worries you can leave for a while.

Right.

So...

Let's go a bit on the side.

So, since you don’t talk about these things, nor do you shout about
them in the marketplace. What do you think of this snow groomer idea?

What do you think?

I think it was a really good idea.

Mm, I think so too.

Through that, you'll also get income in the
summer, while snow groomers usually stands still.

That's right.

I’m sorry about your currency loans, but at
that time there was no other option.

I’m really happy that it’s all over now.

So am I.

I should have every chance now to
succeed, as long as nothing weird happens.

Hello.

What kind of family gathering is this?

Well, we came from Hoikka
to visit you Tampere folks.

So just come join us, the Hoikka group.

I’ll be right there.

I don’t understand Eeva.

She took that ambulance job.

I couldn’t handle that for a day.

Look, just had to take
the job that was offered.

Although I admit, it's been a
lot tougher than I imagined.

Wasn’t the Africa segment
enough for you?

Did you have to come and
get those catastrophes from here?

I just wanted to work.

It would be a shame if
all this education went to waste.

Yeah, I guess mine was wasted.

Even if there was work, working
just doesn't pay off for me.

Hey, the new debt restructuring law is coming
into force in a couple of months.

That could help you.

What does it include?

All the debt will be
forgiven just like that?

No, no, no, but with a court decision,
you get to keep the minimum wage.

And anything above that goes to the state and the
bank, and it lasts five years, then it’s settled.

There will surely be a
ton of paperwork involved.

I could help you with that.

Actually, I’m in the process of
setting up a one-man law firm.

I put an ad in the paper, and I’ve
already gotten quite a few inquiries and responses.

It looks like during this recession, this
kind of legal help is needed.

Looks like everyone is slowly
getting back on their feet.

So I guess we should celebrate that.

Why not?

Hey, Jaana’s coming. Let’s do it like in American movies.
We’ll turn off the lights and be completely quiet.

Not quiet now.

Guess if I’m tired. I want
to go straight to the sauna.

Yeah, the sauna’s pretty hot, just go in, I’ll
make you a drink while you’re at it.

Pööö!

Welcome to the Hoikka Youth Club.

Oh God, you scared me.

Are we so scary that you have
to come in and get scared?

So, Jaana, hey. Can I come
stay at your place tonight?

There’s still one here without
a place to stay.

Hi. Sorry, I couldn’t find my friends.

Welcome everyone.
