1
[woman] Sounds like you have
quite a complicated relationship
with both your parents.
Stella?
Has it always been that way?
[breathes shakily]
[woman] How do you think it might've been
if they'd reacted differently?
[whimpers softly]
[indistinct background chatter]
[man 1] You might need this.
Hi.
[man 2] No, no. I'll get it.
I'll get it. It's all right.
Oh, I hope you have lots of fun, darling.
And be sure to drink a lot.

[giggling] Hi!

- Hello!
[Amina] Hey! You excited?
- Yeah!
- [Amina] Give that here.
- I'm so excited. It's gonna be so good!
Brought my iPad,
so we can watch horror films.
And I've brought tons and tons of sweets.
[Stella] Who is that?
[Amina] He's so cute!
Robin Kjellander, he's new.
He's on the A-side.
He's the assistant coach, you know.
[uplifting music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
- I gotta go and talk to him.
- What you gonna say?
- [giggling]
- [Amina] This one's mine
- [Stella] You up top?
- Yep.
[Stella] Okay.

- [man] Yes, yes. That's good.
- Oof!

Great. Great pass, Amina.
- Nice one!
- You got it!
- Thought we were going swimming.
- Aah!
- Swimming?
- Yeah.
[Amina] No way! Not again.
- [Stella] Why not?
- I felt sick afterwards yesterday.
Did you feel the ground there? Disgusting!
- It's so disgusting.
- You don't have to dig your feet into it.
Shall I waddle around
just like a duck in there? Nah.
Can't we just chill instead?
I wanna finish the movie!
[Stella groans softly]
Hi.
Hi. [chuckles]
You played well.
Good shots. Awareness.
- Thanks.
- Good work.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
[Stella] I was thinking I'd go for a swim.
[Robin] Okay.
Wanna join me?
[chuckles awkwardly] Uh
Just with you?
Yeah.
- Hello, Stella?
- Yeah?
- [Amina] Where are you going?
- Swimming.
With Robin.
[Stella gasps]
- [Robin] Whoo! Ah!
- [Stella] Gotta keep moving!
- [Stella giggles]
- Ooh! Oh!
[Stella giggles]
[both gasping]
[giggles]
Ah! Cold!
- Ah.
- Good fun.
Yeah. [giggles]
Yeah.
[breathing heavily]
[chuckles]
Cold.
- [laughter in distance]
- [girl] Yeah!
[whooping in distance]
- [laughter in distance]
- [girl] Yeah, come on!
Jump!
Come.
Come. [giggles]
[door creaks closed]
Robin, we
Wait. [grunts gently]
Hold on.
No, Robin, wait.
[gasping]
[Robin breathing heavily]
- [Robin moans]
- Oh.
Uh, hold on
Uh, Robin, I don't want to.
[tense music playing]
[Stella breathing shakily]
- [whimpering]
- [bed squeaking]
[Robin breathes slowly]
[Stella breathes shakily, groans softly]
[unsettling music playing]
[knocking on door]
- [man] What what are you doing in there?
- [Robin] We're not doing anything.
[man] What are you doing?
This is a private boathouse!
Get out of here! Go on!
- [Robin] What?
- [man] Dirty bugger!
I don't know what to say, Stella.
You are 15.15!
- Didn't mean to.
- "Didn't mean to"?
He just wouldn't stop.
Even though I didn't want to.
Just carried on.
Huh?
You didn't want to?
You tell him that? You didn't want to?
And he just carried on?
[shakily] Yeah
Stella.
This kinda thing is really serious.
Is it true?
Yeah.
[solemn music playing]
[dad sighs]
[dad speaks indistinctly]
[woman] So I'm going to push down
a little bit now,
but you shouldn't feel any pain.
Relax
- Oh, sweetheart.
- Yes. That's it, Stella.
- It's all right. You're doing so well.
- [doctor] It's nearly over.
[mum] You could see that she was red.
Her thighs were red.
And I can see
that you've made no mention of that.
[doctor] But there were
no marks on the skin.
- [mum] I saw!
- [doctor] It's very We're talk-
- [mum] Are you saying that it is not?
- [doctor] Not at all.
[mum] You said it yourself
when we were in there
that you noticed a reddened area.
That she was red.
But now you aren't saying anything.
[doctor] I'm not that sure, but
[mum] Well, I don't understand.
Stella?
You must tell me everything. It's vital.
What happened?
I didn't want to, but
he just kept on going.
[mum] Did you tell him to stop?
What what did you say?
[Stella sobs softly]
I said I wanted him to stop
[mum] Good. So, how
how did you say it?
Did you say, "No, I don't want to"?
Did you try to push him away?
- No.
- No.
[groans gently]
So, you did nothing, Stella?
[sobs softly] I, uh I did
[mum] Okay.
So, d'you make it clear?
Robin could have misunderstood
or thought
you were saying something else, Stella.
- No. Uh, I I don't know.
- Okay.
- [dad] Ulrika, please
- I don't know.
[Ulrika] Wait in the kitchen.
I won't be long.
Mm.
So
Now you must get some sleep, all right?
That's it.
Listen to what I'm saying, will you?
We must report this to the police!
Yeah, I am listening,
but her examination found no evidence
that she'd been assaulted, Adam.
- But
- Do you honestly think-
If I were handling this case,
I wouldn't think of taking it further.
Even though it's the truth, darling,
we will fucking lose this
in a court of law,
believe me.
So, we just forget about it all?
Is that it?
- We have to do what is right.
- Right for who?
Right for us all. Right!
[Ulrika sighs]
Darling, we we're on the same side.
But this isn't about morality.
It's a matter of law.
If we report this,
Stella will be questioned.8
First by police.
"Who kissed who," Adam,
and "Who undressed who?"
Everyone will pick a side.
And Stella, I guarantee,
will be the one who is blamed in the end.
And then, even worse.
it won't even end up going to court
'cause there are no witnesses.
[Ulrika inhales deeply, sighs]
[Adam sighs]
So what what are you saying?
What is most vital?
That we protect our Stella
from more trauma
or we start a prosecution
that we'll surely lose in the end?
[scoffs] So, we we just let it go?
So, we pretend somehow
that nothing went on?
- Do do do do you believe her or not?
- Of course, I believe her.
It's not about what you and I know.
In court, what you can prove
is the only thing that wins.
[Adam sighs]
I'm sorry
I'm a lawyer, Adam.
- You have to trust me on this.
- [sighs]
I see these kinds of cases all the time.
We must be in agreement on this, my love.
[Adam sighs]
Okay.
[Ulrika sighs]
Okay, we'll take care of it ourselves.
- We won't go to the police.
- [sighs]
[Adam] Stella.
Stella?

A NEARLY NORMAL FAMILY
THE DAUGHTER
[Amina] There's a match tomorrow,
and I need to take it easy tonight.
[Stella] No, no. Listen, no, Amina,
This evening you are all mine.
You don't have to end up blind drunk
or fingered in some smelly toilet.
- [Amina chuckles]
- But it's my birthday, for God's sake.
Yeah, okay.
Okay I hear you.
When are you getting here?
Um soon as I can. Max one hour.
[classical music playing]
[Stella] Mm.
[Adam] Ah!
Dessert will be here soon.
- [Stella] Mm.
- [Ulrika] Mm.
[Adam] Um
So,
you want your present?
Yeah. [giggles]
Yeah, I do.
- [Adam] Happy birthday, darling.
- [Ulrika] Happy birthday.
- [Adam] Nineteen years old. It's crazy.
- Sure is.
[Adam] Go on, read it.
[chuckles] Thanks
HAPPY 19TH!
- [Stella] "Look out the window"?
- Ah
Nifty, huh?
- A moped?
- No more cycling to your job.
Yeah, it's nifty, but I did say
I was worried the colour
could be a bit girly,
but the guy assured me
that it was really popular and on trend.
Why don't you guys ever listen to me?
I told you I wanted
money to go travelling.
[Adam] Yeah, I know, but
- I thought, um
- What is it that you guys just don't get?
Uh we can
[Ulrika] Let's talk about it later.
Dessert's coming. Oh, it's here.
- Ah, tiramisu.
- [server] Yeah.
This looks so good.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
- [server] I hope you like it.
- Mm, thanks a lot, thank you.
- [Stella] Thank you.
- I
- Oh, have they redone this whole area?
Wasn't wasn't the bar
wasn't it there before?
- [Adam] Yeah yeah, perhaps. Probably.
- [mobile phone rings]
[Ulrika] Oh, this'll be the university.
I must take it.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- [Adam] Hmm.
[Ulrika] Hi
Gimme a moment,
just moving somewhere a bit quieter.
Yeah.
Well, working tomorrow?
Uh, no. Took a sick day.
[Adam] Okay.
Yeah, I said I had a migraine.
There's a girl who wanted more shifts, so
Stella.
You shouldn't lie like that
Not even about the little things.
Okay.
- So, are you saying you don't lie?
- No, but I try to avoid lying.
And have you thought about all the people
who actually suffer from migraines?
Well, they can
No. They can really be debilitating
- Yeah [giggles]
- They can!
- Yeah.
[Ulrika, playfully] No! I never said that.
Thanks.
No!
[chuckling]
Yeah, that works for me.
- [bells ringing]
- [drunken singing]
- [Stella] Hi.
- [man] Hiya.
Amina.

Happy birthday, lovely.
You're growing so fast, eh?
- Thanks.
- Happy birthday.
- Oh, really? Aww, guys!
- [woman] Here you are.
Thanks, that's so kind.
Just a small contribution
to your travelling fund.
Ah, that's so nice. Thank you.
Amina?
[hip-hop music playing]
Amina.
Aren't you ready yet?
"Hey, Amina!"
are the words I think you're after.
"Great to see you!"
Amina!
Hey! God, it's been ages.
Oh, how I've missed you.
Mwah!
- Hmm? That all right?
- [laughs]
- [giggles]
- [Amina] Yeah!
They really get you a moped?
[Stella] They must've run out
of bracelets.
- [Amina] Keep still.
- Sorry.
[Amina] But
can't you sell it, then?
It's not about the money.
It's the principle.
- They just don't listen.
- Be still, nearly done.
Yes.
There.
I don't even care ♪
[pop music playing]
Look.
I am always here for you.
I care about what you think.

Yeah.

Could you check this? Feels like
it's gonna slip out any minute.
[Amina] Come.
Ah, looks like it's moved a bit.
Lemme check the other one.
Looks good.
Shit, you look so hot in that dress.
I'm gonna let you keep it.

Rolling with the rain ♪
[indistinct background chatter]
- [Stella] Pretty.
- That so?
I really like how, uh
the artist has aligned perspectives here.
And the colours really give it depth.
The light falls onto it from the side.
You're so right.
It becomes a stark metaphor for, um
well, for life, don't you think?
Yeah.
Above all, I like the dog though.
The dog?
Mm.
It paints a clear picture
of, uh, interpersonal loyalty.
And the way the cat lets him
sit on his head like that.
Now you mention it, I agree with you.
It's so clear.
It shows love and
[Stella chuckles softly]
- Acceptance. Yeah?
- Yeah!
Right. Or anxiety.
- Lots of anxiety.
- [both chuckle]
And it's a little bit excluding
for those with nut allergies though
Unsightly.
Very unsightly.
- [both chuckle]
- Yeah.

Got a problem with an application,
and it's due by nine tonight.

Please, Adam
Perhaps you should check
if we're eating together
before you start cooking dinner.
Well, I'll wait, then.
- We'll eat when you come home.
- No.
Absolutely not.
You can save me some.
I'll eat when I get back, darling. Okay?

You know how it is. We row and we make up.
We row and we make up.
[Adam] Mm.
I get so jealous
of you and Ulrika, you know.
You have it so
laid back and easy. Stable, you know.
[Adam] I guess.
[man] Some days I think we'd be better off
without one another, me and Alex.
But I wouldn't last a single day
without her, I tell ya.
Fact. You probably wouldn't, actually.
[both chuckle]
- We're here.
- [women] Hi!

But hey, you can come over
to ours for dinner sometime.
- [Alex] Mm.

That means dinner will be
at two or three in the morning, then.

he's good in the kitchen.
- What? I can cook as well.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I make the world's best burek.

But I I need to get to work
and I can't find my phone.
Okay. Where did you see it last?
Ah, thanks, Mum. That's so smart.
I should have thought of that.
Fuck's sake! Idiot.
Stella.
Stella! Wait.
Wait.
Look, I won't accept you talking to me
like that, do you understand?
If you're without your phone
for a few hours you'll cope.
- You kidding me?
- Yeah, too right!
Well, Mum, you're constantly
on the fucking thing.
Jesus Christ!

- You know.
She is she's so clever.
She'll go a long way, Amina.
[Alex] Yes.
How's Stella now?
[sighs] Honestly, I have no idea.
She, uh

I was more like Amina.
I knew exactly what I wanted
Uh, it's horrible
I'm ashamed for having a
daughter who didn't work hard enough
to complete her secondary education.
I see.
It has been really tough for her,
you have to know that.
If I'd had but one tenth
of the life chances
that she's had growing up,
I would well, I would've been so lucky.
You don't need to worry.
Stella's smart. And time is on her side.
