ACCORDING TO TRUE EVENTS
Since the death of Princess Diana in Paris...
Great Britain is in national mourning.
- That sounds so nice, Inger. - Yes.
This is supposed to be played at Mom and I's funeral.
Will you be buried together?
Nobody has died yet.
I'm glad to hear that.
We're running late.
There was a lot of traffic on the way here. Therefore we have to hurry up.
Inger is absolutely ready. We packed everything. She is so excited.
- Can I speak to you for a moment? - Yes.
- Do you have your music with you, Inger? - Yes. This is my favorite music.
- Good. Has anything new been added? - No.
- What's going on now is unbearable. - Yes, you are absolutely right.
Inger has her medication with her. She just needs Nozinan.
She had her depot injection 2 days ago. That's enough until you get back.
Here is Stesolid. In case she feels bad.
- Thank you, Birgit. Does Inger know about it? - She asked about it several times.
I think it's very good that you're taking Inger with you on this journey.
That was Vagn's idea.
He thinks Inger should be allowed to experience France again.
Yes.
Did Birgit remember to give you Stesolid in case I feel bad?
- We have this absolutely under control. - Excellent.
- I want to take my wheelchair with me. - Thats not OK.
- I want to take him with me. - We won't walk long distances.
You can definitely do it, Inger. Come.
- Do you believe? - Yes! I know it.
- Otherwise I'll carry you, okay? - Yes.
Have a good trip, Inger. See you in a week.
You're late. Everyone is waiting for you.
- Hello, Gudrun. - Hello, mother-in-law.
- Do you have Inger's medication with you? - Yes. She received her depot injection.
It is important that she gets her Nozinan before meals.
- I know that. - Hello, my dear.
Is it wise not to take the wheelchair with you?
- Inger can run further than she thinks. - I wanted to take the wheelchair with me.
- Why doesn't that work? - The hotel is not designed for this.
- It feels so good for Inger to move. - You are stronger than you believe.
Bonjour, bonjour. It's nice that you're here. I was starting to get restless.
Call me Ole. I am your driver and guide in one person.
Hello, Ole. I'm Ellen. This is my sister Inger.
Our mother isn't coming with us. But Vagn does.
I have saved seats for you so that you can sit together.
Bye, my darling.
I will miss you so much.
- Bye, mom. - Take good care of yourself.
Well, Inger. I'll help you onto the bus.
- See you then. - She will miss the wheelchair.
She has no physical limitations.
Neither of us will ever agree on that.
I won't have a moment of peace until she gets home.
Take good care of her, okay?
Hello. -It's right here, Inger. - Sorry for our delay.
We'll sit so that you can stop me if I want to jump out.
You're not going anywhere. Sit down.
- Hello. - There you are, Ellen.
- I can't come through the window? - No, no, calm down.
- I want a Stesolid. - Let's get going first.
Bonjour and welcome. We will spend a lovely week together.
We have big plans: Musée d'Orsay. The Louvre.
Versailles. Napoleon's grave. The Invalides and Monet's Garden.
There is also a free day in Paris-
-and of course the D-Day Museum in Normandy!
- That's super exciting. - This will be the highlight for many.
We should also look at where Lady Di died.
No, that's too macabre.
We do a quick round of introductions so we know who the others are.
Hall, my name is Espen. This is my wife Ulla.
We have never been further south than Randers. So we are happy.
My name is Christian. This is my father Andreas.
But everyone calls him Skelbæk because he is the deputy headmaster.
- And this is my mother Margit. - Hello.
And... yes... We don't know a word of French.
- Welcome to the club. - But German.
My name is Inger and I am mentally ill.
Well, I'm schizophrenic.
I think you should know that.
Sometimes I'm fine.
- And often I feel really bad. - Yes.
And I hope we have a nice trip.
Thanks.
My name is Ellen. I run a daycare center.
This is my farmer Vagn.
We are there to take care of my sister Inger.
So I'm sure we'll have a nice trip.
We are also newly married.
It's been us before, but this time it's us with each other.
And that doesn't make it any worse!
"Bye, Denmark. Hello, Germany".
- "Are you all beautiful"? - Would you please bend over?
- Now there's a napkin there. - Yes.
- Do you want to fuck me? - No, Inger, that's not possible.
- You can't talk like that. - Excuse me.
What are you imagining? N/a? In front of my wife and my son.
I'm sorry. This is how Inger reacts when she feels bad vibrations.
I didn't send out any bad vibes.
It's a compulsive reaction.
And what should we expect on the rest of the trip?
Calm down. Nobody died.
- Can I get a Stesolid now? - We'll wait another 100 kilometers.
Then we'll see what happens, okay?
- Why don't we just give it to her? - Vagn says I can get one.
You don't want to be half dead the whole trip, do you?
- Your normal medication is enough. - Yes.
- We want you to experience everything. - Yes.
Look: Gudrun and I found your photos from France.
- This is at Gare du Nord. - Why do you say "Gudrun"?
- Well, mom. - Yes.
This is at Gare du Nord, back when you were in Paris with Mom.
- And there you were in Normandy. - Yes.
And this is in the restaurant where you worked in the kitchen.
I was only 18 then. That was right after high school.
Well, a major purchase was made here.
- What kind of letter is this, Inger? - It's from an old friend.
Here comes a sugar bomb. As they say,
They're delicious. Foam kisses.
- Well, Inger? - Yes.
- "Yes, bon appetit." - Thank you.
- That's really tasty. - Yes, really?
They're really okay, the Germans. Good people.
- You're not a German teacher, are you? - Physics and chemistry.
- Bingo. - Do you think I seem German?
- I'm sorry, what? - Do you think I seem German?
I have nothing against Germany. You would fit in well here.
I am a German teacher. Otherwise I could only order Wienerschnitzel.
We need one of those. I take this.
Do you need help, Inger?
- I want to strangle you. - Inger.
Can it wait until after dinner?
Yes.
- Come here. What would you like? - Do they have burgers?
Do you want to try it?
- Yes gladly. - Sit down.
That's kind of you.
- Does she really want to strangle my mom? - No I do not think so.
That's what Gyllensol said.
Gyllensol? Who is this?
- He is my friend. - Is it an invisible friend?
No. He is more like...
He's like some kind of angel. He speaks to me.
- He said you should strangle my mom? - Yes.
I'm also sometimes afraid that I'll strangle Ellen.
Just try it. I am much stronger than you.
You can really forget about that.
Vagn is here too. So I can't jump off the bus while driving.
Inger has an idea in her head and then absolutely has to say or do it.
Like when you can't step on the joints on the sidewalk?
Yes. You could say that.
- How did you get so crazy? - Christian. You disturb. Come here.
He doesn't bother at all. It's really nice with him.
They say “mentally ill,” not “crazy.”
- Yes, but how did that happen? - It was probably because I fell in love.
- Okay. That's nasty. - Yes.
His name was Jacques. He... He was much older than me.
And he was married.
- Well, not with me. - But that's not okay.
But he was damn good in bed. He had …
Christian! Come here. Immediately!
Don't listen to this. This is dangerous talk. OK?
Grab a piece of chocolate and look out the window.
Now it's comfortable. Yes, have a piece of chocolate.
What you up to? Where do you want to go?
What are you up to, Inger?
- Look, Ellen. - That's sad, Inger.
But we have to go back to the bus now.
Come on. We'd better get to the bus. Otherwise Vagn will become impatient.
- We can't just walk away. - He's dead as a mouse.
We can't leave him here.
- What's up? - It's a hedgehog.
- We can't leave him here. - He's dead, Inger.
- You can't do that. That's sad. - We're leaving now!
The others are waiting. We want to go on to Paris.
We can't just drive away and leave him here.
- Maybe he's in pain. - No, Inger, he doesn't feel anything.
- What's up? - We can't leave him behind.
- We have to stick to the plan. - Inger. We delay everything. Come.
- No. - What's going on?
What is the problem?
Inger can't leave a dead animal behind.
- Oh man. The little guy? - That's nonsense!
- We want to be in Paris tomorrow morning. - We can't stand around here.
Inger, we have to move on. OK? The hedgehog doesn't suffer. It's okay.
- You have to get them under control. - Don't talk about her in the third person.
- If Inger and I can talk for a moment... - But I'm talking to YOU.
- You two have to get her under control. - You did not understand me?
- Can we please talk civilly? - Why can't you leave him behind?
I find it unworthy.
It is undignified that the hedgehog is lying here.
Oh my God …
We can't stand here all night. Christian, what are you doing?
We could bury him. I got out the chocolate.
That's a good idea, Christian. - Ole, do you have a spade with you?
That's totally ridiculous. We have to move on.
Wait wait! I brought something else with me.
Yes. Yes, that's good, Christian.
So.
It has to be deep enough so that the fox can't get to it.
So.
- Do we also want to say a few words? - Yes. Yes that is a good idea.
- Our father in Heaven. - Totally ridiculous!
Blessed be your name.
Take this little... innocent hedgehog with you.
- Amen. - Amen.
Amen.
- Thanks. - No problem.
Is there coffee in the community center now?
If no one else dares to say it, then I will.
It is irresponsible to take such a sick person on a trip, -
-that everyone was looking forward to and paid for.
- Nothing happened. - You have to do something.
- This is absolutely unnecessary. - We're on the way to Paris.
Don't listen to this.
I have to go to the toilet again.
- Inger. Inger, stay here! - I can not anymore.
I can not anymore! I'm throwing myself onto the street!
I'll throw myself in front of a car! I don't want to feel like this anymore!
Stop it!
I don't want anymore! I'm throwing myself onto the street!
Inger, damn it!
This scene reinforces what I've been saying.
- She heard you earlier. - Is it my fault now?
- Be quiet now. - Nothing happened.
You can't do that again, okay? You have to promise us that.
Otherwise we have to cancel the trip and go home. OK?
Vagn, would you please stay with Inger?
Thanks.
Now there's a funeral feast for everyone.
I've experienced a lot, but a German rest area funeral tops everything.
You don't have to be sad, Ellen.
Inger is worried about you. She doesn't want to sit there without you.
But I'm fine. I'm slowly coming back to myself. Come.
It was not your fault. I just scared you.
I would like a Stesolid.
Skål, people. And now we're off to Paris.
Look at that, Inger.
The breakfast café on Rue de Rivoli.
See you in three hours at the Musée d'Orsay.
Not a bad place, right?
This is where the kings were beheaded.
- But that was a long time ago. - It's been a long time.
This is a really big big city, right? Do you recognize her? N/a?
I think it's wonderful that the three of us are here in Paris.
Who would have thought that, Inger? I almost feel dizzy thinking about it.
- I can not run anymore. - Just a little bit.
No, I can't walk anymore.
- Inger, we are the same... - I can't walk anymore.
And whether you can do that. Come on. We're here. OK?
Inger.
No, I can't do it either, Inger. Now that you mention it.
- This place kills you. - Oh, I can't do it anymore either.
- Good day! - Good day!
- You're so silly. - I have a cramp in my leg.
- Inger, you can't walk. - Yes, she can do that.
- Is it okay, Vagn? - Yes.
Inger, now wait a minute. Someone here has a cramp in their ass.
There is Notre Dame. We have to take a look at them.
We look at everything. Right, Inger?
These painters - impressionists we call them - wanted to capture something new.
You can see many points that form a whole.
They wanted us to see the realities...
- Now there's food in the restaurant! - Yes, sir.
- Now it's time to eat, Inger. - Yes.
I don't understand a word.
Unfortunately the map is in French. It's completely different than last time.
- But I'll do my best. - Yes, please.
As a starter there is lapin et foie gras.
And so this is foie gras and...
- Rabbits. - Yes.
There is also a bisque de homard. This is lobster bisque...
… with …
Leek rings.
Exactly. And of course lobster meat.
And for the main course there is…
Turbot aux raisins. And that is...
- Turbot fillet with grapes. - Thank you, Inger.
There are also parsley potatoes. And then there are t ournedos rossini.
Beef fillet with vegetables and red wine sauce.
For dessert you can choose between l'assiette de fromage, a cheese plate.
And finally there is a croquem… babouche…
No, I have to pass. - Inger?
This is a pyramid of cream puffs.
It also refers to a woman who has slept with a lot of guys.
- That's perfect. - Oh? I didn't know that.
- Forgiveness. - Yes, please? They wish?
I would like to order wine for everyone.
Maybe a crémant d'Alsace as an aperitif.
And then the red wine or white wine that people want.
- I'll pay. - For everything? Very well.
What was that, Inger?
Inger ordered a welcome drink, a crémant d'Alsace.
Afterwards there will be wine of your choice with your meal. Inger gives one out.
We shouldn't lack anything.
- I have tons of cash with me! - That's good to know, Inger.
If this is your disability pension, we basically invited ourselves.
Andrew!
- Thank you, Inger. - Thank you, Inger.
And welcome to Paris, the most beautiful city in the world.
Skål, people. And Skål, Inger.
Skål. Salut.
Hello! N/a?
Look, Inger.
- It is beautiful. Right, Inger? - Yes.
Fourth floor, far from the street.
And a bed for you. And a bed for Vagn and me.
I can't sleep in it.
What's wrong with the bed?
Well, if I sleep there, I can throw myself off the balcony while you sleep.
Vagn, can you sleep in the single bed? Then Inger and I sleep in the double bed.
It's clear.
But it is not certain that you will wake up if I get up.
Then we do it like this. We take the bed...
Then I sleep in front of the door. You won't get anywhere like this.
But then I can walk out the door and onto the street.
Ellen.
I have the feeling something has come between us.
She looks really peaceful when she sleeps.
- She had a really good time eating. - Yes.
You almost forget that she is sick.
Further.
- One more piece. - Where are you taking me?
Keep going. Trust me.
- Can I look now? - No, just a moment.
Let me look!
Good morning
Did you sleep well?
When do we have the day free?
The day after tomorrow.
Is there anything in particular you would like to check out?
I dreamed something really silly.
Good thing you woke up.
- Did you sleep well? - Yes.
- Nice. - Yes.
Je me appel Christian?
"Je m'appelle Christian."
- Very good, Christian. - Thanks.
- I am twelve years old. "J'ai douze ans." - J'ai douze ons?
- J'ai douze ans. - J'ai douze ans.
- Yes. And on Friday I turn 13 - 13? Then you're an adult.
Are you ready? It is the largest castle in the world.
Can your feet hurt beforehand?
- Good day! - Welcome to Versailles.
Gosh!
There are 450 benches here. We'll never get through this.
- Would you like to get some rest? - Yes.
If this bed could talk...!
Isn't that nice, Inger?
I can see Gyllensol.
- Where, then? - There. In the mirror.
- He says I'm not allowed to be here. - Well, Inger. Stand up.
Breath deep.
- Hello Christian. - Hello.
Do you also need a wheelchair?
- I got it for you. - Really?
- S'il vous flat. - Thank you beaucoup.
S'il vous plaît.
- We're going to the Hall of Mirrors. - That sounds great, Christian.
- S'il vous plaît … - That doesn't exist.
So much for our “go-it-yourself” pedagogy.
Oh, Christian!
Christian!
Christian?
Where have you been? We were looking for you.
- I got Inger a wheelchair. - You don't have to accompany her.
- It was my idea. - He just wants to help.
You can now hand her over to her own family.
Christian is welcome to stay with us.
- Then he has a break from both of us. - No. This isn't healthy for him.
I'm not contagious.
Christian.
You probably have a lot of happy children at school. Congratulations.
My dad isn't usually like that. He was at the top of his class in his studies.
I don't understand how you became mentally ill because you were in love.
- Wasn't he nice, your friend? - Yes, yes, he was very romantic.
- Did he give you flowers? - No.
But he sang to me and said I was beautiful.
- And that drove you crazy? - No.
But he could get me to do anything.
One night we fucked in the restaurant kitchen.
Some pots fell down.
Nobody has ever told me anything like that.
He liked oral sex.
- The one with the head between the legs? - Yes / Yes.
- That sounds gross. - No.
When he suddenly disappeared, I was lonelier than before we met.
Maybe it started then. But I am not sure.
He sent me a letter in which he wrote, -
-that he has a wife and a small child.
What an ass.
Dude, he's old! I wasn't even born then.
- "Jacques DuBois"? - Jacques DuBois.
"13 Rue Malebranche."
- Treize Rue Malebranche. - Treize Rue Malebranche.
- Does he still live there? - Perhaps.
I was once unhappily in love.
- Yes. - Love is crap.
I think my parents don't love each other anymore.
No, maybe not.
But they love you, both of them.
That's how it is.
Tourists and residents continue to gather at the Place de l'Alma in Paris, -
-even though it has been almost six weeks since Princess Diana's tragic death.
- But I do not want to. - But you have to. We also bathe.
At home I only bathe once a week.
But we sat on the bus for a long time and slept in the same bed. No discussion.
- You don't decide about me. - No. I don't do that.
But then you just have to sleep in the small bed.
This is totally crazy. The whole world is still talking about it.
We can't go home without seeing it. Or?
Stop it, Vagn.
It's only a few kilometers away. We can go there ourselves.
- Is everything okay, Inger? - Which is the shampoo?
- Old Swede, Inger. - I'll show you.
You can take this. And this balm is for afterwards.
Can you let the water in yourself?
Okay, now it's good. Just sit in.
Yes? Thanks.
- Who is it? - Hello?
Hello mum. There's no escaping you.
You didn't give me your room number.
- I was talking to someone... - Inger is in the bathroom, so what...?
I want to talk to mom. I want to talk to mom!
- One moment. - I want to talk to mom.
- We'll keep mom out of the trip. - I want to talk to her.
I give you Inger.
- Mom, I want to go home. - Yes, of course.
- Are you feeling bad, Inger? - Yes. Can you pick me up?
I can't stand it here any longer.
Something happened? With Ellen and Vagn?
No, I just can't stand it here anymore. I want to go home.
- Can I speak to you again? - I'm coming to pick you up.
- Can I speak like that again? - She's coming to pick me up.
Inger had a really great day. But of course Paris is overwhelming.
I told you she wouldn't make it.
- We're not having this discussion now. - If Inger wants it…
You're not going anywhere until I ask you to.
- I want it! - I will hang up now.
You have to listen to Inger.
Now YOU answer it.
That's really not possible, Inger.
- Hello, mother-in-law. - Now start.
- I'm do not feel well. - You will feel better after the bath.
Come on now. Soap yourself everywhere. Under the arms, between the buttocks.
- Come on, let's go. - Its to warm.
- No, it's too cold! - Stay seated.
- I do not want. - Be quiet. Now you soap yourself up.
- I don't want to, Ellen! - But you smell like sweat.
I don't smell!
Ellen, don't go! Ellen!
Did you scare me!
I thought it was Andreas. He doesn't know that I'm smoking again.
I'm sorry for that. I just need to get some air.
Sit down.
Here. You need him more than I do.
Also, I have to apologize. In the name of Andreas.
Tonight he wanted to break off the trip and go home with Christian.
For Andreas it is very important that things around him are normal.
He gets very... insecure when something is different.
I think it is brave of you to take this journey with this great responsibility.
I just wanted Inger to experience France again, but...
Now... I'll take another sip.
How long has Inger been sick?
Since I was 17.
Thanks.
Where the hell have you been? Inger is crying, your mother is screaming...
You should have thought about being alone with her for 10 minutes sooner.
I didn't know I was dealing with a naked Inger and your mother, -
-while you give up.
Where do I give up please? I just needed to get some air.
Do not fight. I'm taking a bath now. I know how to do it again.
- Thank you, Ellen. - Please, Inger.
Another little piece.
- Close your eyes. - Yes, take it easy, Inger.
- Nobody cheats here. - Cautious. There's an edge.
You can stop now.
You can look.
Thank you, Inger. This is a very nice way to experience it.
Great, Inger. How did you know?
Was it Jacques?
What are you whispering?
I just said that there is a very nice atmosphere here.
Maybe a little too celebratory, right?
- Do you want to go into the water? - Do you want?
We are now approaching the highlight of the trip: the D-Day Museum in Arromanches.
Christian, we are here.
Are they closing right now?
No reason to worry. They're open longer today.
Hello!
- Good day. - Are you open this evening?
- We're closed, monsieur. - No no no. Open this evening.
Are they closed?
- Open tonight. - No, not before a holiday.
What's wrong, Ole?
Please!
- What's wrong, Ole? - It is closed.
- What's wrong, Ole? - I'm terribly sorry.
- We're late. - No, that shouldn't be the case!
Tomorrow is a holiday so they won't be open tonight.
- I'm terribly sorry. - This is the highlight of the trip!
Bloody hell!
We drove all the way here to check it out.
- I have never experienced something like that. - So incompetent!
- It's a whole bus. - Get them to open again.
They can't just close it down.
- Excuse me. Good day. - Good day.
My name is Inger.
I belong to that group over there. We are from Denmark.
I lived here in France 20 years ago, and then I...
Does she want to strangle them? She's completely crazy.
We have a big problem.
The man behind me is mentally ill.
He is schizophrenic.
He didn't have an easy life.
It was his greatest wish to go to France and visit your museum.
He'll probably never get the chance to go here again.
He's too sick.
Please. Can you help us fulfill his greatest wish?
We open.
What did she say? - Inger? What did you say, Inger?
- What's up? - Can we come in?
- Hurry up! Comes! - Thanks!
- Thank you thank you thank you! - But hurry up, okay?
- Is your dad still in there? - Luckily he forgot about me.
He still lives there.
- How do you know? - I found it in the phone book.
He is the only Jacques DuBois on Rue Malebranche.
- Hello. - Hello.
Nice here, right?
- Skål! That was a great number. - Round song, round song…
No, now I've lost the thread.
Great, Inger. Very nice!
♫ For She's a Jolly Good Fellow For She's a Jolly Good Fellow ♫
- Thanks for the nice day, Inger. - I usually sleep naked.
OK. But if you sleep between us, you have to wear pajamas.
- Good night. - Goodnight, Ellen.
We experience a lot, don't we?
Tomorrow we can explore Paris on our own.
- What's wrong, darling? - It was just a long day.
- But you're crying, so it's something. - No, I'm not crying.
It's all a bit overwhelming.
- She was wonderful today. - Yes. She beamed.
That alone was worth the whole trip.
- I don't cry anymore. - Go ahead and do it.
Inger?
Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere.
Breathe in very deeply.
It never ends.
Many women with schizophrenia get better as they get older.
- When they enter menopause. - That doesn't happen to me.
What makes you think that?
That's what Gyllensol says.
- What's up? - Inger isn't feeling well right now.
Are you feeling bad, Inger? Yesterday it went so well.
Yes, today we can take a look at the city. OK?
And eat something good. Aren't you hungry?
I'm welcome to stay here, -
-if it's the best. We can order room service.
I have to give her a stesolid. Who knows how long the attack will last.
- I want to wear my good clothes. - Yes.
Yes.
What's going on, Christian?
- What is with you? - Mom and Dad had an argument.
Because I said something.
Dad has gone away and mom doesn't want to come out of the room.
Can't Christian come with us?
- Okay. Do you want to come with us? - Yes.
- Ask your mom for permission. - Off with you.
Well, Inger! Now we explore Paris on our own.
What do you think? Go for a 15 kilometer walk?
- Should I start? Vagn or you? - Yes.
Yes, Vagn. Clear.
Gosh!
- What do you all mean? It's going really well, isn't it? - Yes.
- Bravo. - Bravo!
Where are you from? Which country are you from?
- From Denmark. - That is a beautiful country.
I can drive you around Paris. My name is Nadir.
- My name is Inger. - Inger? That's a beautiful name.
I can show you beautiful places that tourists rarely get to see.
My taxi is there.
What does he say?
He wants to show us places that other tourists don't visit.
Shall we go?
Don't you think he'll just drive us into the forest, Inger?
- That'll probably cost a fortune. - Just for me.
Relax, Vagn.
If you say hello from me, you'll get a discount. The best cafe in the 11th arrondissement.
I grew up here in the 20th.
But then my father sent me to the university in Algiers.
Now I'm back. I'm studying here, but I drive a taxi to earn money.
Have a look; there is my old school.
That's when I kissed a girl for the first time.
They called me "Kanake" but the girls thought I was pretty cool.
Albert Camus was also a bit Algerian.
- Yes. Do you know Albert Camus? - Why, surely.
I read The Plague and The Happy Death.
- I don't understand a word. - But "The Stranger" is my favorite.
- Do you want to see where Lady Diana died? - No.
- Yes. I would really like to go there. - No, Vagn. We're not going there.
This will be great. They've cleaned up.
13 Rue Malebranche, please.
- Would you like to go to 13 Rue Malebranche? - Yes.
OK.
- It's right here. The stairs up. - Okay.
- What are we doing here? - I have something planned.
- What you up to? - I'm visiting someone.
- Whom? - Inger, wait a minute.
Inger?
Inger? Can't we...?
Inger?
Who do you want to visit? Inger, wait for us! Inger.
Yes, good day.
Can I help you?
Long time no see, Jacques.
- Excuse me; Do we know each other? - Yes.
Inger?
I didn't recognize you at all.
No, I'm not myself anymore.
Did you know that she went crazy because of you?
This is my friend Christian.
And my sister Ellen. And my brother-in-law Vagn.
- Good day. - Good morning.
You better wait out here.
Inger? Inger, shouldn't I come in with you?
Excuse me.
- What's up? - I don't know it. Good question.
I'm so glad I found you.
Even when you're old.
Am I still your rose?
Is my smile still like a golden sun?
I... I don't know.
You haven't had an easy life, have you?
When did you...?
I mean: what happened?
You always seemed like that...
When you left me... I forgot who I was.
There were voices...
...who spoke nonstop.
I do not know who I am.
I don't know who I should be.
I'm sorry for that.
But why did you come back after all these years?
Why did you want to be my friend even though you had a wife and children?
- That was so long ago. - Not for me.
It was stronger than me.
Why did you write to me when you had destroyed everything?
I miss you. I had no idea what had happened to you.
But now I understand how unhappy I made you.
I'm sorry for that.
Really.
Are you okay, Inger?
If you want to talk, I'm happy to listen.
Yes.
Look! Then Lady Diana died. Exactly there.
Look at the damage from the accident.
That's impossible. Gosh!
- What a crash! Can we stop? - Yes, of course.
- I'm against it. - We can't just drive by.
We drive on.
We'll only stay for two minutes. - Come on, Christian.
- Vagn, that's not a good idea. - I'll just show Christian quickly.
Okay, look.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
A final farewell, my English rose
Vagn? Vagn!
It's not good for Inger to be here. We have to move on.
Inger!
- Stop! - Inger!
Inger? Inger, can you hear me?
- Inger! - I'll call an ambulance.
Do you hear me, Inger? I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I am so sorry. OK? I shouldn't have stopped.
Ellen?
I'm terribly sorry.
I should have kept a closer eye on Inger.
It's bad that people are so attracted to accidents and war.
You better not say anything now, Vagn.
I helped Inger find Jacques.
It was a lie that my parents had a fight.
So your parents don't know where you are?
I wrote them a note saying I went with you.
Good day.
Okay... she has a concussion. The x-ray is unremarkable.
She is in shock, but physically she is fine.
They want to keep her here overnight for observation.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
It's okay. We're just glad you're not hurt worse.
Excuse me. It's my fault.
What is your fault?
It's my fault she died.
I killed Rose.
I could have prevented it.
I didn't do the right things. That's what Gyllensol said.
I thought it was because of Jacques.
It's my fault.
Inger. Look at me.
I understand very well that you are in shock right now.
That's how it is for us too.
But it's no use blaming yourself.
We'll get through this together.
OK.
- I don't think it's good that she's alone. - Me neither.
It's idiotic that they won't let any of us stay.
Do you think she really wants to kill herself?
No. I do not believe that.
I think it's about...
Inger has so much pressure in her head that she would like to stop it.
But I don't think she wants to die.
Yes hello?
- Hello mum. - Hello. How's it going?
- Sorry for the late interruption. - It doesn't matter.
- Inger had an accident. - What are you saying?
- She ran in front of a car. - No.
She is in the hospital for observation due to a concussion...
- I'm going to see you tomorrow. - You're not doing that, mom.
She will definitely be released tomorrow.
Was it because she was unwell? Did you give her Stesolid?
She wouldn't have followed those thoughts if she had gotten it.
- You're right. - You know that exactly!
I let her down. That's what you mean, right?
You were against this trip from the start.
- Because you always know better. - She needs her medication.
- She was fine all week. - And? She is in the hospital.
She is in the hospital! Or?
It was Inger's decision to come here. Not yours.
She can't estimate that. WE have to take care of them.
I can't stay home when she's in the hospital...
She doesn't mean it like that.
Maybe she's a little right. We could have taken the wheelchair with us.
Not now. I need some time for myself.
You sleep better over there.
- Here it is. - Thank you.
Hello.
Hello, Nadir.
I brought you something.
I think it will suit you.
- Do you like him? - Yes.
- My sister's bed is empty. - I'm sorry, what?
- My sister. Inger Louise Pedersen. - I don't understand.
So... My sister...
Inger Louise Pedersen.
Ah yes. She discharged herself this morning.
- I don't understand. - She left.
She left this for you. This one. It's for her. Bye.
- It's from Inger. - What is she writing?
She went off with the taxi driver Nadir. He wants to show her more of Paris.
This majestic church is called Dôme des Invalides.
It is Napoleon's final resting place. He lies in this big sarcophagus...
- Ole! - Yes?
What kind of people are you?
You take Christian with you without asking permission!
We looked for him all day. He is totally traumatized!
We didn't want that. - We need your help, Ole.
- We've been looking for Inger all morning. - What happened?
Your sister is absolutely insane!
- She belongs in the closed room. - Calm down.
Instead, use your energy to take care of your sister-in-law.
Both of you and this crazy woman should have stayed in Germany!
- Inger is a good person! - Don't talk to me like that.
She would never treat mom the way you do.
Excuse me.
I do not speak French. English.
Thanks for the sweater. He is really beautiful.
You're welcome. They cut yours up.
I got it from my little sister.
They say you can become schizophrenic if you smoke weed.
But… I already am.
One of my best childhood friends... I haven't seen him for many years.
He lives in a kind of psychiatric nursing home.
And I think he's a bit like you.
OK.
I like him a lot, but he doesn't want visitors.
When I call him he hangs up.
The nurses say he doesn't want to see me.
If he's anything like me, he'd love to have visitors.
Even if he says the opposite.
I want to strangle you.
- You got away with a fine? - That took us half a day.
I'm sorry I didn't have more time to help you.
- What do we say to Gudrun now? - She doesn't have to find out yet.
That's really nice, Inger.
- I'm so glad you're not dead. - Yes. That's me too, Christian.
Good evening.
- It's good to see you, Inger. - Yes.
♫ Finally we shout loudly in chorus: ♫
♫ Hurray, hurray, hurray! ♫
♫ May Christian live for many years ♫
♫ and all his wishes come true ♫
Now let's blow!
No girlfriend for him.
- J'ai treize ans. - Bravo.
Thank you beaucoup, Inger.
- Congratulations. - Wow. Are you crazy?
Yes.
Skål, people.
Thank you for bringing her back to us.
I would like to say that if I had died in Paris...
...then it would still have been a good trip.
Welcome home, Inger. What happened?
Long story.
Oh my God... My little Inger, what have you done?
My little sweetheart.
Honey... So.
- It wasn't Vagn and Ellen's fault. - You didn't want it, did you?
You didn't want it.
- I think I... - I don't want to talk about it now.
But it would never have happened if I had come with you.
Should I take you to your room, Inger?
I'll do it, mother-in-law. No problem.
- I'll check in on you later, Inger. - Yes.
I think it would be best if...
...I always come with you so that from now on I can always look after Inger.
No. That won't happen, mom.
That will not happen.
Gyllensol wants me to stop sleeping naked.
- He doesn't have to decide that. - No, you're right.
That's none of his business.
He also annoyed me the whole way home.
Because I met Nadir.
- Yes, he can see that. - Yes.
- Are you arguing with mom? - No. Not at all.
- Are you coming to visit me soon? - We visit you all the time, Inger.
- Right, Ellen? - Yes.
- This is what we do. - And whether we do that.
I say goodbye to Gudrun outside.
- Yes, exactly. - See you soon, Inger. - Yes.
Now I'm used to seeing you all the time.
You come to us too. We will sort it out.
Yes, mom will plan that.
I think the two of us should work this out together.
I want to strangle you.
I like you too.
Yes.
