HUNTING
(heartbeat)
(An engine roars)
Oh shit!
Do you notice?
Oh...shit!
Wow!
Wow.
If you lose someone in the car,
you'll get really horny while hunting.
This is a completely different level.
The ultimate.
There he is - Henrik.
Ha! Welcome!
-So here you sit and rest.
-I have been waiting for you.
Now we've had enough
scouted.
In Tanzania I heard about them
learned from hunters and gatherers,
-that you don't walk around in the forest
should if you are looking for someone.
That can be a kind
Generate centrifugal force:
The circulating objects
are pulled apart.
But if you wait in one place, you can
the lost person is attracted to one.
-Like a magnet. Do you understand?
-Aha. But I wasn't lost.
As you can see, we signal analogously
with whistle or rifle shot.
We use old-fashioned wristwatches
for time comparison. Which watch do you have?
-Like this one.
-Very good.
Then we get into survival mode
and away from the digital stuff.
-There is no network here anyway.
-I saw something over there. An animal.
-What did it look like?
-It was reddish brown...
-A fawn.
-Or maybe a fox?
No. I saw sweep marks.
There were tons of them over there.
And that, Greger, means:
Lots of bucks coming!
Sweep markings
The roe deer bucks mark their territory,
by sweeping their antlers against the bark.
-I didn't know they had territories.
-And whether!
Now is the rutting season;
they are horny as anything.
The younger bucks without their own territory
try to get in-
-in the territories of the older bucks,
and the elders defend their country.
We will stay in the area,
that we explored today.
Are you up for it?
Secure?
Nice. Then let's go!
We don't usually hunt here, but
the owner allowed us,-
-because it's the last time,
that we are here.
(call)
-What are you going to do with the heather?
-He wants to whip us. (Laugh)
You said you have trouble sleeping,
if you have to get out early.
The heather will help you.
You'll be able to sleep great.
-Isn't that poisonous?
-No, not a bit.
You can also use an infusion
Make with lemon balm.
There is also a spice,
the real heart team...
An infusion - everything you know.
Where did you learn that?
You inspired me. You have once
about spices in Central Africa.
So here is the club for
mutual admiration?
Hey, Geggan, come on now.
-The car is full of bottles!
-Ow! Caution!
-Heather also helps against pain.
-Oh, really?
-Tell me, where is the toilet?
-There.
-Occupied!
-Excuse me.
-Is that your wife? Or girlfriend?
-This is my brother's new one.
The house was sold because of her.
The little cunt.
Oh, yes, I thought...
I have an idea
for the Huvudsta account.
OK. But that's Erik's account.
Yes, exactlyright.
I was able to take a look
what he did.
And there was something
with account transactions...
I don't know
It didn't really fit.
-Mm, I already had that thought.
-Really.
I don't want Erik
step on your feet.
You remind me of me.
When I was new.
Positive, I hope?
-Secure. Only positive.
-OK.
This is going to be exciting!
-How long have you been hunting here?
-For many years.
It's the end of an era.
Henrik really loves it here.
Mainly because of hunting, -
-but he is also in this place
in love. The forest, the frogs...
He just can't
hunt somewhere else?
No, that's not how it works. You need to
join a hunting party-
-or know someone who owns land and
lets you hunt there. This is really difficult.
It's expensive! You have
so really lucky.
When I invited you in the spring, I knew
I didn't want Ivar to sell-
-and this is the last one
will be weekend.
His new wife isn't coming with him
Henrik right. She detests him.
Ha-Ha! You and your down pillow.
Otherwise I'll get a stiff neck.
You can't hunt with a stiff neck.
We were just talking about how happy
I am allowed to do this here.
What an honor it is
to learn from hunting professionals like you.
An honor?
Greger said there was one
would be a huge catastrophe,
-if you never shoot anything.
Yes... That's it
something special.
Do we want to warm up a bit?
What do you all mean?
Practice a little sharpshooting,
before going to bed?
-Now?
-Yes! It's too early to sleep anyway.
This will be perfect for you, Alex,
before things get serious. See you downstairs!
-I should have put on some pants...
-No, come now.
It won't take long.
Please, you start. The guest of the house.
Secure? Shit, now I will
I'm really embarrassing myself.
-It's pretty dark.
-But the picture is bright. Go ahead.
It'll be okay.
What is that there?
Shoot now, then drink
we have another nightcap.
Is that a photo?
-This is the photo from the hallway.
-What?
-What?
-From his sister-in-law.
-What the hell, Henrik?
-What does it matter?
Hey, it's just a photo,
not a real person.
Just pretend it is
someone you don't like.
Uh
Henrik!
(Henrik laughs)
You can't take him seriously.
He just has a slightly offbeat sense of humor.
Either... he's fun,
or he wants to shoot someone.
Yes, if something is true,
the opposite was also often the case.
We hunt to kill,
but also to live.
The more we kill
the more alive we feel.
Forget it. You're too young
to understand that.
-Where did you shop?
-At Kalleruds, on Kammakargatan.
-Do you also have rain protection?
-No
It's always hard the first time
especially from the boat.
-Just copy everything after me.
-Surely he imitates his boss.
If you see seagulls, shoot at them,
as shooting training. (Alex laughs)
-Was that funny? Seagulls are pests.
-Aha.
-We throw them to the harriers
- as recycling. We protect nature.
-The first duck hunt.
-Yes.
Remember, not on low
to target flying ducks,
-because otherwise we risk
to shoot at each other.
Good luck.
(duck sounds)
(Shot)
(Birds fly up)
(Bangs and birds flying up)
(Shot)
Good!
Good shot!
Wait!
-Did you score?
-Yes.
Put them in that bag there.
How many do you have?
-I have two, Alex has one.
-I have four.
Dude, they have good eyes,
these birds.
Next time we have to
Pull nylon stockings over your head.
Alex probably doesn't need one
Nylon stockings as camouflage?
It gets easier when you're on deer
and shoots deer. Much bigger goals.
This is more like one
mental challenge.
Come closer, Alex.
So Now we can
open the beast. (Flies buzz)
How did that feel, clay pigeon shooter,
to shoot a real bird?
Well, it was...
I was already nervous.
It was difficult...
from the boat.
I told you.
A little refreshment
-Brr! N/a? Come on!
-Yes
Damned!
Here if you
want to refresh something.
Grandma's little Olle
went into the forest
With rosy cheeks
and sunshine in sight
The little lips
of berries completely blue
As long as I'm here
don't have to walk alone
Did you cry a lot as a child?
Bjrn cried constantly for a while.
I even asked myself
whether something is wrong with him.
Children cry. But Stella never cried.
She was probably the only one who didn't cry.
She sulked, manipulated people.
Taken after her mother.
Crying is the most human thing
what there is. It's what sets us apart.
I mean:
Animals don't cry, do they?
No!
Uiuiui Finally!
Look at this. Wow!
Can I touch her?
Secure. They lasted thousands of years,
so they'll probably last a while.
-Are they that old?
-Mmm.
Wow. Where do you find something like that?
I've always collected,
since my childhood.
Stamps, tin soldiers
and small miniature bottles...
-Liquor bottles. -Do you remember?
-Yes!
Ivar and I really wanted to test
whether there was still liquor in it.
-There was never any in there.
-tin soldiers...
Those arrowheads and that axe
come from the Middle Stone Age.
That thick-necked flint axe
is even over 5,000 years old.
-Really? Incredible.
-May I have a look?
A long time ago an old Swedish
ancestor used it for this purpose, -
-to cut off branches for fishing,
or to hunt with.
Moose, or an ancient ox?
How do you know that
is it from the Stone Age?
Moose were even worshiped,
before you had a god.
We're entering something
which is bigger.
By hunting we justified
the beginning of civilization.
-That was when we became farmers?
-Farmers?
With this arrowhead, for example,
They probably hunted deer.
Do you understand how incredibly clever
these hunters must have been?
How difficult that must have been
between the trees...
N/a?
With bow and arrow. The forest grew
more and more during this time.
Come on. Come, come, come...
-Yes Yes Yes
-Feel it. This craftsmanship
They knew each other...
Ow! I wasn't ready!
-Wow!
-Arrow attack!
-The knee!
-Ow, ow, ow...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Knee.
("Primitive" grunt)
Hit in the leg - scratch!
Major attack!
Haaa!
Fuck...
Sorry.
Sorry.
Is it okay?
-What a Stone Age man!
-I didn't want that...
What a Stone Age man!
Great reflexes, Alex!
Do you find?
Tomorrow, things will get serious, damn it.
It's something very special,
to shoot an animal,
-Who you can look in the eyes.
He's right. You have yours
Got a hunting license, Alex,
-but the theory is somewhat whole
other than reality.
In plain Swedish: you will
a nasty fear of shooting.
You may think that bird hunting
showed that you can do it.
But big game hunting
is something completely different.
Alone...
firing that shot...
This doesn't happen by itself
- it's not like in the movies.
It's more like...
...sex.
However, I can report that my
last purchase was a real hit.
Mmm! Natural size.
Damn beautiful, really.
Dyed, long, flowing hair.
When we got home from the post office
came, I blew them open, -
-sat her on the sofa, lit candles
and opened a bottle of wine.
There were three holes to choose from.
Then I sat there and stroked
this beautiful little foot...
...while I thought about which one
Hole I should tackle first.
What a gentleman.
There was something about the whole thing
very beautiful in itself.
When I was done, I slit
picked them up and threw them in the trash.
She had space in one
empty skimmed milk carton.
Why didn't you recycle them?
Are you so environmentally conscious?
-I have a...
-Sh!
(Alex whispers) Sorry. I have
a nasty stomach cramp...
Hold back the shot,
if you are not sure.
We don't want any
animals that have been shot.
If it does happen,
The rule applies to us,
-that the person it happened to was the animal
later allowed to shoot during the search.
When stealth hunting you have to be in one
Shoot angles down on the animal.
You have to place yourself on a hill,
so that the ball's course is downwards.
The bullets can get through the animal
walk through and meet someone.
A berry picker,
or even a car driver.
Yes, the bullet trap is
the absolute most important hunting rule.
(Shot)
We'll leave him for a while
alone with the prey.
-What an Oschi!
-A giant!
The Hunting King!
The first loot of the season.
Damn, that's wonderful!
Hold still now. So
Wow!
(Greger makes calls)
This is so beautiful, damn it.
-It's big.
-Uiuiui.
run away,
I've got to get away
from the pain you drive
into the heart of me
The love we share
seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my life
For I toss and turn,
I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
and that's not nearly all
What do you all mean? Do we want him?
skin now, before it gets dark?
(Someone is sawing)
(Someone is sawing)
Deer liver is a delicacy,
that not many people get to try.
The heart is good too,
but we'll cancel that.
Incredibly delicious.
Actually. Wow,
that was super tasty!
If the heart is so delicious, you should
Maybe we'll eat it straight away.
It would just be interesting.
I've never eaten heart.
-But you don't understand the point.
-Mmm.
As he came strolling across the field,
right before the shot, there it was...
It seemed exactly like that
like he was flirting somehow.
After the shot sat down
he rests on his hind legs,
-nose pointed to the sky.
His mouth opened and closed,
the tongue was hanging out.
He was completely helpless.
But we went
something together.
A pact.
This is how I want to die.
(Someone is sawing)
I already forgot
what he looked like.
(Loud smacking)
Don't you want to eat anything?
Are you ready?
I'm going alone today. I don't want,
that you are slowing me down.
Did you puke?
Oh, I don't know.
I have something with my stomach,
but it feels much better now.
You... What was Henrik capable of;
he smelled so funny?
Deer fat, because of the smell.
He doesn't want to bring people here.
(Crack)
Maybe we should
also separate? N/a?
smell and hearing
are their most important senses.
(Alex sniffles)
(Shot)
(Shot)
(heartbeat)
It was as if...
... every second,
I let it live...
It was like it was
born again.
I don't know.
I felt so...
...merciful.
Was it like a feeling of
Fellowship between you?
Yes. Exactly.
There was basically just
me and the animal...
...until the shot.
(Increasing heart rate)
(fly buzzes)
Where do you want to go?
(Crickets chirping
and an animal makes a sound)
-Greger, are those calls from the tape?
-Yes.
-Isn't that forbidden?
-What?
-Isn't that forbidden?
-Yes, but he needs his animal now.
There.
(animal sounds)
(Loud music)
(music ends)
(Shot)
Damn it!
(The animal gasps for breath)
What the hell was that about?
-It suffered after all.
-That was my prey!
-Henrik -It suffered!
-It suffered?
What do you already understand about it?
You just stood there.
You haven't done anything.
Now you have to be alone
get along, damn it.
Okay... Greger, sorry!
Henrik!
(wing flapping)
I told you it was
without rules there is chaos.
It wasn't that bad, was it? You have
finally found his way back home.
Recently you said that you are an animal,
who you don't look in the eye, -
-without remorse
can kill.
I found that very strange.
But now I understand it.
The slightly taller one is Arnold.
He's almost tame.
He eats out of my hand.
Don't kill him too, Alex.
(crackling from fire)
What do you think we want?
stay a few more days?
(Greger sighs)
Why, surely.
But you have it on Wednesday
the start of the project with Robin?
Wednesday ? Yes, that's right.
That'll work.
I'll catch up again.
OK.
So, two days would have to go.
I wish we could
stay here forever.
It's definitely pretty boring
after the hunting season.
We could just keep going.
Surely no one would notice that?
A little poacher!
(Someone whimpers)
(A window rattles in the wind)
-Did you see anything?
-Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
-Shall we try it there?
-No, we have to go into the wind.
(splashing rain)
What terrain - and no loot.
This part of the forest is not good.
He is known for
its large wild population.
That's awesome. I have today
didn't hear a single bird.
Do you hear how quiet it is?
There is completely no wind.
That's good.
We're going back
to the starting point.
-The trunks look healthy.
-You have suffered a shock.
-Can trees suffer shock?
-Yeah, yeah. Probably from a lightning strike.
(rumbling thunder)
HAA!
(rumbling thunder)
(Shot)
AAH!
But now.
(Quiet popping)
(Quiet popping)
(Shot)
There used to be
secret hunting parties, -
-who are dedicated to hunting
dedicated to each other.
-That's not true.
-But.
I have quite detailed
described how they hunted-
-and what rules they had.
What did they do when they...
had shot each other?
What did they do with the pieces?
That's a good question.
But maybe shooting
them not to kill.
I think... It can't be that secret
have been. Someone has to...
... those who missed, those who didn't go home
came or noticed injuries.
Ow!
(Greger sighs)
This is driving me crazy.
Where are the animals hiding?
what do you all mean?
We'll find out.
Not a single prey animal.
That's... very strange.
Then we have to stop
chasing each other. (Laugh)
-I'm not joking.
-No, no...
Count me in.
Really? N/a?
I have no problem, Greger
imagine it as a deer hopping around.
Exactly. Yes, I see Alex with his
shitty heather bouncing around in your mouth.
No, you definitely don't.
I am like the animals here in the forest.
I'll just disappear.
You'll never find me.
No no no. Both of your skulls
I'll hang it on the wall there.
I'd rather that
than you eat us.
I'm not a cannibal. I am
not like your natives, Greger.
There are no natives,
or cannibals...
There are natives, but no Kanni...
(Laugh)
Do we agree?
Agreed? About what?
Everyone has five shots.
(Shot)
(Shot)
Withdrawal is forbidden.
We carry on,
until the hunt is called off.
And we just do that,
if someone was hit.
How do we treat hunted prey?
(he gasps for breath)
Of course we help the injured person.
Do we understand the rules?
There is no wind.
A perfect day for hunting.
(Shot)
(Heavy breathing)
(whistle)
(whistle)
Okay, okay...
Shit, I don't have the shot
seen. Did you shoot, Alex?
Yes.
Difficult to remove.
-Were you taken by surprise, Greger?
-Oh, no. I was ready.
Shit, that makes you hungry.
True.
We want to spread out again, but
this time only for a quarter of an hour?
Until the new position determination.
We still have four shots.
You only have three, Alex.
(Shot)
(Shot)
Stay there. Stop kicking,
this just increases blood flow.
Shut up, you bastard!
I hate you. Shit...
Hold his legs, Alex.
Uh!
Release!
You bastard...
-Shall I help you up?
-No!
-So...
-Shit!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
We have to let the blood dry,
before we apply a new bandage.
I want you to have an envelope
make from my deer heart.
That gives strength. In the Stone Age
that's how people did it.
That looks healthy.
Now the goodness of the deer
transferred to the wound.
Maybe the deer was evil.
-Okay, let's stop now.
-Absolutely not.
Yes, I would have... It would have a lot
could end worse. Really bad.
-No no no
-"No"? You're in shock.
Not at all! We can
Don't stop now, damn it.
Then everything is pointless! Not now,
where we have come so far.
Do you have them today?
didn't feel it - the fear?
Have you ever felt like this?
felt alive like today?
We can't now
Pull your tail back, damn it.
With that you should
get through the day.
I dreamed that you got out of the moss
stand up and fire a shot at me.
I tried to seek shelter, but
the body did not obey the thought.
He was stuck like a mushroom.
I stood there completely helpless and
saw the ball approaching.
And then, suddenly...
... I relaxed.
It was like resignation
nothing passive, but...
...that cowardice is actually courage.
-Half an hour?
-Yes.
-Dammit, Greger!
-I have to be there.
No. Then there is a risk that we
take special consideration for you.
What?
Mercy can inform our decision-making
negatively affect the mechanism.
You're cold enough to make this yours
to take advantage. I know you.
-Aha. That's a compliment.
-No.
Look. I have no problem
with the weapon handling.
I could you
both of them succumbed.
OK. It's your own
Decision. You know that, right?
I won't take any consideration.
Three men chased in a circle.
The circle kept shrinking,
until they saw each other and fired.
At the same time.
They were bent over
found in the same posture.
(Shot)
(Someone is breathing heavily)
So now we have to move on.
Can you keep me company?
It was so beautiful
when Henrik did it.
He was so loyal.
I have to check if the loot is still there
lies there. I have to lie down next to it.
Wait Quiet, Greger!
Lie down, lie down.
I can check.
(The floor creaks)
The loot is still there,
where it was before.
Good.
Ouch...
Now I really should
Get some heather, Alex.
You and yours
cursed heather...
What the hell?
That could be Arnold.
(Greger breathes on the frog)
I gave birth to a frog.
-Hello!
(Shot)
(Shot)
(Two shots are fired)
(heartbeat)
(A deer roars)
(cracking and creaking)
(A deer roars)
HUNTING
