- Onerva

- Did you take Kari to the hayloft?

A romantic Mrs Serafina Kuikka.

How does it sound?

So he's Lundsten's son. I'm shocked.

When you were on your home visit,

I thought I saw you at the bunker.

Were you there?

We don't have curtains.

We don't have any curtains!

Eat up.

Alma's chickens.

Alma treats you well.

Alma would never

chop off your heads.

When you get to heaven, you'll lay

golden eggs for the Lord above.

And from your perches in the clouds,

you'll sh*t on the likes of them.

There are bad men

out in that field.

You must not go into the barn.

- You must not go into the barn!

- Let me go, Alma!

God damn it, I didn't

get to finish my porridge.

One day you're asked

to wake up early and such a fuss!

- Who's coming?

- President Kekkonen.

The government is interested in the

mental state of mad women like us.

Keep up the good spirit!

- Ulla Parvilinna's coming.

- Who is she?

- Lundsten's boss.

- I thought he was the boss.

Alright now. Let's not ruin

a great morning by bickering.

I don't need it.

Good morning!

Good morning.

- How was your trip?

- It went well.

Excellent.

It's great that you came today.

You see, there are

a couple of things

that I would like to discuss

with you at length.

So lovely of you to be standing

there for my sake.

So she's the boss?

Maybe I should go and talk to her.

Don't get too excited.

- Have you been keeping warm?

- Plenty warm.

- So, how are things?

- Well

Serafina has progressed

wonderfully in her treatment.

As have many others.

- Do we have any new arrivals?

- I'm not sure we have any

I'm new!

- I'm Onerva Poikelus.

- Where are you from?

Helsinki.

I study sociology at the university.

- A smart young lady

- Smart with a nice a*s.

- Shut up!

- Alright, calm down.

We have a special programme for today

in Director Parvilinna's honour.

- Lead the way, Alaska.

- Let's go.

What do you have planned?

Be more careful where

you stick your fingers.

Oh shut up!

I know who you're screwing secretly.

And soon Lundsten will know it too.

- Where's Marjorie?

- She's resting.

Do you think she knows what's

going on here? She visits so rarely.

Well, what is going on here?

I'll talk to her.

Doctor, Vera wants a word.

What is it?

I just want to ask

about art therapy

I think it's great that Eaglerock

has a female director.

Happy to hear that.

It creates a totally different

level of trust than with Lundsten.

Lundsten is completely

worthy of your trust.

Yes, but I feel the best thing for me

would be to get my life back.

- To get back home.

- That's what we all want.

Or is there something troubling you?

These home visits

When I had my trip home,

I was given strong medication

so I'm not at all sure

where I actually went.

So you don't really know

where you were at the time?

What is it you see over there?

I mean

It would be best for me if I knew

Onerva. We have the best treatment

in the country here.

Gösta has studied

in the United States.

But for the mind to heal

- It takes time.

- I understand that.

- But it's important for me to know

- Is there a problem?

Do we have a problem?

A problem? No.

Great. Let's continue our journey.

We're almost there.

- What if they k*ll me?

- They're just ordinary people.

- What if they k*ll me anyway?

- They won't k*ll anyone.

This way. Come to our farm.

Alright, let's assemble in the yard

to divide the tasks.

Serafina,

do you want to see Alma's chickens?

- Is this Kuikka's home?

- Yeah, a proper estate.

Haven't you told her yet?

There's nothing

to tell so don't start.

Get to work.

Special task.

What is it?

The onions.

- You can't smoke here.

- I won't tell if you don't.

- What is it?

- I was just thinking

- Are you crazy?

- Are you?

Maybe. I don't know.

- Do you want to see this place?

- Yes.

Come.

Onerva

Mum

This is a safe place

This is a safe place

Mum

What is it?

What?

Why don't you get any medication?

Or hypnosis?

You never have sessions

with Lundsten in his office.

- Lunch!

- I'm starving.

- Isn't it nice?

- Yes.

What do you do up here?

All sorts of things.

- Do you ever spend the night here?

- No. Mum won't let me.

Do you always do

what Mum tells you?

- Usually.

- Me too. Usually.

But the one time I didn't obey,

I was sent to the nuthouse.

- Really?

- Really.

But guess what?

If you always do what

everyone else tells you to,

that will really drive you crazy.

- You're right.

- I knew you'd get it.

Come on, show me.

Come and see Alma's sheep.

His name's Sulo.

- Alright, alright

- You can stroke him.

Quiet! The doctor is speaking!

Thank you, Alaska

Head Nurse Alanen.

First of all, I'd like

to take the opportunity

to thank the Kuikka farm

for hosting us so generously.

And especially for having taken

our Alma under their wing.

Alma, come up here.

"Nearer my God to thee"

Thank you, Alma. Thank you.

Please, sit down.

Alma's trial period here at the

Kuikka farm has been a huge success.

Alma is doing much better now

and she no longer exhibits

any pyromaniac tendencies.

Alma is able to lend a hand with

the farm work at her own pace.

It's no exaggeration to say

that Alma's feeling much

better than last autumn.

You're not supposed to be here.

I was just thirsty.

You're supposed to come eat.

I'd like to tell you something.

Or

Actually I could show you.

Will you come with me?

It's based on modern and gentle

ways of treating mental illness.

In the past, patients had to endure

cold baths and straitjackets.

This is for your eyes only.

You can't tell anyone else.

The successful therapy sessions have

improved Alma's state so much

that soon we can

consider releasing her.

Good!

Wouldn't Alma like that, too?

Home!

Alma won't go home!

Kuikka!

Help!

Gösta!

Erkki!

Alma won't go home!

Kuikka, help!

Sulo will go home!

Alma won't go home!

Goodbye.

Off she went.

I just wanted to know

what's going on here.

Yeah.

When you were on your home visit,

I thought I saw you

at the door of the bunker.

Onerva, seriously.

Snap out of it, okay?

Play a card. That's clubs,

you f*cking nutter. Play diamonds.

Your turn.

Play a card.

No! That's hearts.

Play it there.

We should try.

What?

To get into the bunker.

I want to see what's in there.

- How?

- I could try to sneak out tonight.

- You can't sneak out at night.

- Let's see who's on guard duty.

- It's your turn.

- You'll get caught.

Wait.

Daddy came home

and told Alma

Come to Vera.

Sit down.

No one is going to send Alma away

if Alma doesn't want them to.

Don't worry.

Let me stroke these lovely

little sausages you have here.

That made Alma feel bad.

For f*ck's sake

Hey, poet girl,

read us a few lines.

- The ghosts in the bunker are real.

- What?

"The possessed souls of

the dead tuberculosis patients

haunted the wounded

at the military hospital."

"The nightly howls in the corridors

drove many patients to insanity."

"Bodies disappeared from

the bunker in calmer times."

Alma?

No, she said 'calmer'.

Alma's made it into the book.

Where did you get that?

From Kuikka. "Bodies taken

to the bunker disappeared

and they were never buried

in consecrated ground."

"During the w*r a young nurse

went in there with a patient"

To f*ck?

"The next morning,

only one of them came out."

Give me the lighter.

You can't take it.

"The possessed women licked

each others' leprous loins"

Time to go outside!

Onerva, did you hear?

- Leprous loins

- Enough.

I need to use the phone.

It's private.

Mäntsälä town.

Serafina Sundnäs. Thank you.

Is this the Sundnäses'?

This is Head Nurse Alanen

from the sanatorium at Eaglerock.

I'm calling about Serafina.

Yes, it has been a long time

I would like to confirm the time

for Serafina's home visit

Oh?

There's been some confusion

over the timetables.

Really?

Goodbye.

Onerva.

Serafina hasn't been

home in over a year.

What?

I called them. Serafina's family.

- Say what?

- You've been right all along.

Lights out at nine,

and the doors are locked.

At that time Kuikka is

Are you guys f*cking in here?

- We'll talk later.

- Okay.

Calm down, Ritva.

"Calm down, Ritva."

- Ritva

- You know what's an obsession?

- You have one now.

- I'm just worried for your safety.

You don't know everything

about your new friend.

I see.

Haven't you ever wondered

why she's here?

Why is she allowed to call

whoever she wants?

Why is her room

full of her own stuff

and she never has therapy

with Lundsten?

Why is a rich b*tch like her

stuck here with us

small-town nutcases?

Maybe it's just accepted that there

are problems in all social classes.

Oh, yeah, you're a communist.

Well, scrawl this

across your red flag:

Vera von Clause is a m*rder*r.

- And I'm supposed to believe you?

- You're not. Ask her.

- Ask her who it was she k*lled.

- I will.

Onerva.

I just don't want you to be next.

- Is this place just a holiday for you?

- What do you mean?

You've never said

why you were sent here.

- Oh, you mean my diagnosis?

- For starters.

Housewife anxiety.

Officially I suffer from the

same symptoms as Serafina.

Sometimes happy,

sometimes a bit depressed.

- So did you do something?

- No.

So I'm here trying to help you

get into that bunker

- so you can prove your wild theory

- Alright, alright. I'm sorry.

I know Ritva's a liar

and a manipulator

but she just told me

you k*lled someone.

Is it true?

Of course not.

Okay.

I'm coming with you

to the bunker tonight.

Really?

Where are you two going?

- Tell him.

- You tell him.

No, you tell him.

We have this little problem here

As you know, Kuikka,

the rooms have a lot of echo

and we would like some time alone.

It's all the same to me, but you know

that no one goes out at this time.

- And the downstairs door stays locked.

- Come on, Kuikka.

You didn't see anything.

Just let us pass.

Go to your room!

Listen, Emil.

Which is the lesser of two evils?

You letting us pass, or having to

explain to your wife and Lundsten

what games

you're playing with Serafina?

- I'm not playing any games.

- I know that.

But who's going to believe you?

The downstairs door is locked.

You can always get through here.

- Is this where you saw Serafina?

- Yes, I think so.

- Should I come?

- You keep watch.

- Take this.

- Thank you.

Onerva

Vera von Clause is a m*rder*r

Onerva, calm down!

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

There's nothing here. It's empty.

I've just imagined it all.

There's nothing here.

Don't worry. It's

just your illness.

It's just my illness

Nothing to worry about.

Now let's go to bed.

You need some sleep.

It's just my illness

Nothing to worry about.

I understand you're depressed

but your life's not over.

I understand

You don't understand

anything. You're not sick.

Are you praying to

Jesus for salvation?

Go away.

Be quiet, you k*ller.

I know what you two are doing.

How did you get Kuikka

to let both of you go out?

Did you go down on him?

Did you suck his c*ck, Onerva?

Did you slurp on Kuikka's

- Do you have to ruin everything?

- Guard! Guard!

God damn it!

Be quiet.

- Be quiet.

- Be quiet.

Be quiet!

You f*cking b*tch!

- Can I come in? To read.

- Yes.

You poor thing. You're freezing.

"converted in the 1950s into a

hospital for the mentally unstable."

They're right.

Why didn't I realise it before?

Listen to me now.

You're upset.

No one's coming to

get me from this place.

I'm crazy.

But you're also Onerva.

Intelligent, wonderful Onerva.

I see my brother all the time.

And hear him.

I saw you, too.

You scared me.

- Who did you k*ll?

- Is that what's bothering you?

I was just wondering,

because you're my friend.

And I've opened up to you.

Tell me the truth.

Who did you k*ll?

My husband.

- So it's true?

- Yes.

I k*lled my husband.

- You lied to me.

- Onerva, I didn't

Alright now. Leave.

We'll soon be done here.

Just another minute.

Leave.

Hi.

Hi, Alma.

The Doctor told me

you'll soon be going home.

- That's wonderful.

- Alma doesn't want to go home.

There are bad men there.

Show me your pretty sausages.

Oh, they're so lovely!

But Lundsten said you're going home

because you're feeling better.

And Mummy and Daddy are eagerly

waiting for you to come home.

Alma doesn't believe Ritva.

Ritva lies so much that her sausages

pop from their casings.

Vera also said you're going home.

Vera doesn't lie.

- Vera wouldn't lie to Alma.

- No, she wouldn't.

Vera said if you don't

want to go home

Alma doesn't want to go.

Then you need to show the Doctor

that you're not better after all.

Isn't that right?

Good. Come.

- Home visits.

- Yes?

I don't know where you're taking

them, but it's not home!

I'm glad you came to me,

so we can immediately find out

where this rumour started

It's not a rumour. I know.

Onerva was completely sane

when she arrived.

Now she's seeing

little men everywhere.

- What sort of little men?

- You're lying to the families!

You will be held accountable. Society

has changed, you can't just

There appears to be all manner of

unsubstantiated speculation here.

- What are you blathering about?

- Blathering?

Do you want to stoop

to the level of the other patients?

I called Serafina's family.

They haven't seen her in over a year.

They've asked to visit her, but

you haven't given permission!

Listen.

Sometimes during

an intensive treatment period,

external influences on patients must

be minimised so as not to disrupt

This whole sh*thole is

going to be shut down.

The pacifying room!

That's what

this is going to lead to.

I'll tell my father everything.

Everything about

your questionable activities.

Then we'll see

what's speculation and what isn't.

We're about to make

a breakthrough in curing

some very complex mental disorders.

Don't you try to interfere with this

in any way! You don't understand!

What's to understand?

This is crystal clear.

As your attending physician, I must

say, based on our meeting today,

we'll have to review your treatment

methods, Miss von Clause.

No one here is going to touch

me with a ten-foot pole!

Vera told me to give this to you.

Vera said I'm not allowed to take it.

Now you're allowed.

You must take it.

Vera said you have

to burn something.

Something small.

Then Alma won't have to go home.

You can stay.

You have to burn something.

Something very small, Alma.

Then Lundsten will understand

you're not well yet.

Something small, Alma.

- Rich b*tch.

- Psychopath.

Onerva.

Onerva, get up.

- You were right all along. I was right.

- What?

- This whole institution is a scam.

- What are you saying?

I'm getting us out of here.

I'm getting all of us out of here.

This ends now.

Vera von Clause.

Yes?

What?

Don't you even try!

Don't!

Fire alarm!

Everyone out!

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

Fire alarm!

Everyone out!

Erkki, let's take the car!

Kuikka's house is on fire.

- Where's Julia?

- I don't know.

You don't know?

Where's Julia?

- God damn!

- Is she inside?

- Where's Julia?

- Form a chain!

Hurry, hurry!

Get the water!

- Don't go too close! Ritva!

- Don't go there!

Julia!

Julia!

Are you awake?

Look at me!

Hold on to me!

Daddy!

Daddy!

My darling! Everything's okay!

Alma

Did Alma light the fire?

Alma will not go home.

Alma is not feeling better.

Alma lit the fire in the barn.

- God's angels

- God damn it!

Who?

Who gave this to Alma?

- Vera.

- What?

Vera.

Vera told Alma that

if Alma burns the barn

Alma can stay.

- Alma's delusional. She's in shock.

- Was this your idea?

Kuikka.

- Julia almost

- Kuikka.

Kuikka, come on!

Vera, is this your lighter or not?

- It is, but

- I see.

It's all clear.

- What is clear?

- Erkki.

Hey, Lundsten. Seriously.

Vera helped me.

Vera spoke the truth.

Alma did well.

I'm sure Vera is very proud of Alma.

Alma will stay here.
