I wish my maternity leave
was a year longer.
- [laughs] Yeah.
- I wish it was a year longer!
Yeah. To think,
all that time spent at work.
I mean, it seems
completely meaningless now. [laughs]
- Really?
- [David] We have split the leave 50/50.
- It's finally my turn.
- Lucky you.
It's, "Goodbye, height-adjustable table.
See you in six months."
[group laughs]
- [babies crying]
- And you?
Are you enjoying your maternity leave?

Baby, I'll do anything for you ♪

- [baby fussing]
- ["Anything for You" fades]
It's so nice, wouldn't you say?
With marble.
Christ's sake, I hate this flat.
[Simone] But the good thing
about moving somewhere smaller,
the more this will stand out.
- Huh.
- [Simone] Yeah?
- [both laugh]
- [baby cooing]
[drilling continues]
Hey!
[Simone blows]
You've made meatball curry. Times three.
Why are the two of us not together?
- [inhales sharply] So it's I can, um
- Don't answer that.
Oh yeah. Super.
[drilling]
Have you, um,
thought about writing that letter?
[clears throat] What?
The matter of the letter, Nana.
- Which letter, now?
- Stop it. To the father of your child.
- I'm serious, must we talk about it?
- I don't see why it's such an awful idea.
And since you couldn't bear
to tell him face to face,
you'll have to find another way.
Fine.
[tense music playing]
"Dear Mathias, here's
a picture of your daughter."
"Yeah, your sperm wasn't misplaced.
I actually stole it."
"Oh, and inseminated myself with it.
Then I tried to have sex with you."
"Forget that. I couldn't get you into bed.
Now you've got a baby." [chuckles]
Do I end with "hugs" or "love"?
I I think I
You've got a good idea what I mean.
He's on the other side of the globe.
He's totally out of my head.
It's much better this way.
He doesn't need to know.
He needs to know. He does.
He has a daughter in Denmark.
[baby fussing, coughs]
Yeah. So did my father.
He ignored it fine.
Yes, but you know
Mathias isn't your father.
And Mathias doesn't have a clue
he's got a daughter.
A daughter he might want to know.
[Nana] Could we just never ever talk
about this again?
You are going to have
to make a decision about this.
Yeah, yeah. Do you want supper?
- [baby fussing]
- No, I have to go back to the clinic.
[Nana] Why so late?
[grunts] Don't get me started. It's, uh
The builders are
ridiculously behind schedule,
the waiting lists are endless,
a lack of doctors makes it worse,
and it's all due to this lousy renovation!
- You need more doctors?
- [Simone] Yeah.
So no supper, it is.

- [dramatic stinger]
- [gently] Hi. Hi?
Yeah, it's you now.
[quietly] Um
I really can't understand
what you're saying.
- [Nana hesitates]
- Eh?
- Are you saying a name?
- No, it's not a name. I haven't a clue.
- Yeah, I haven't I don't know its
- [woman 1] It?
Yeah. No, her. She's a her. She's a girl.
[woman 1 sighs]
[David] Well, if we had had a girl,
we would have called her Marie.
- [woman 2] Marie is quite popular.
- Alma is also really sweet.
[woman 2] Okay, but you have to hurry up.
Otherwise, I think the rule is that she
will be called Margrethe after the queen.
- [woman 3] Margrethe is good.
- Yeah. It's good, isn't it?
Can't you just say a name?
So the game doesn't stop.
- But I don't have a name.
- Perhaps we should let Nana off this one.
I don't understand why you're here
if you don't want to sing.
I don't understand either, if I'm honest.
I don't even like being here.
What the hell? I actually hate it here.
I hate being in this cold,
cold church I'm not a member of.
And I really hate being forced
to listen to really tedious stories
of your really tedious maternity leaves,
which no one, I mean,
no one is interested in.
- Not even yourselves.
- [priest] Nana.
You need five minutes in the church porch.
I don't need five minutes
in the church porch.
- It's not remotely interesting to me!
- [priest] All right.
- Nana, breathe.
- Don't speak to me!
- [priest] To the diaphragm.
- Don't shut me up!
Don't stand there in your [mumbles]
Yeah, what would you say it is?
With your lampshade there. Huh?
You think you're the boss
just because you're the priest?
Perhaps you ought to have thought
longer about your kids' names
because they are really,
really dumb names.
Pelle is a dumb name!
And Vilde?
- Don't listen to her, my cutie.
- Stupid!
[babies crying]
Get out!
- [dramatic organ music playing]
- [gasps]
[quietly] Yeah, sorry about that.
- [baby fussing]
- [woman 1 hushing]
Shh, don't be scared.
- It's okay, my pet. Shh.
- [Nana] Come here.
[gentle music playing]
[mockingly] Oh, and then off she goes,
across the rug with her shoes on.
[bell tolling]
[priest] So, I hope everyone is okay.
Everyone okay, yes?
[horn honks below]
Selma?
Anna? Sofia?
[sighs]
Viola?
Don't like it.
Queen Margrethe?
[baby fusses]
[Nana chuckles]
Seriously, Queen Margrethe?
[baby fusses]
[Nana sighs]
- [machinery whirring]
- [builders chattering]
[Nana takes a deep breath]
- Nana?
- Oh!
[chuckles] Hi. Hi.
- Hi!
- [both laugh]
- Oh!
- Yeah.
- [Helle] No, she's so cute.
- Uh, she just fell asleep.
- So if you could leave
- Are you loving maternity leave?
- Not really, but
- [Helle] No. I took two weeks.
Full-time. Fourteen days
we'll never get back.
- Yup.
- [Helle] Yeah.
- [baby crying]
- Um
- You should have said you were coming.
- [Nana] Hmm?
I would have made time to give you
the grand tour of the new DoVi.
Actually, I'd really like
to talk to you about something.
- It'll go in the calendar. Jannick!
- [Jannick] Nana.
Weren't you fired?
- Yeah, it's
- [hesitates]
It was, um, only due to cutbacks, so
Nana, it's quite interesting
you're standing there with no helmet on.
They do say
that if you don't wear a helmet
on a construction site, you are naked.
But you're welcome to lend this one here.
- [grunts] Wow, Carsten.
- Yes.
- New hairstyle.
- [Nana] Looks good.
[Jannick] Let's get going.
- [Nana] Helle.
- Nana.
- [Nana] Yeah?
- It was wonderful to see you.
But but can I
can I just have two minutes?
- Two minutes.
- I can give up two.
Only two minutes, Jannick.
- I mean it. I haven't got all day.
- Two minutes.
- Right. Two minutes.
- Two.
- [Carsten] Jannick, so let's go this way.
- I want to work at DoVi.
- [Helle] What?
- I can't stand it anymore.
I can't bear it, and I'm no good at it.
I have to get back to my job.
You want me to hire you again?
You lack personnel.
And I'm good.
You know it very well. Very good.
Uh-uh. There have been many developments.
You should know that.
- Yes.
- [Helle] DoVi is straight as an arrow.
Both mentally and architecturally.
There is nothing left to chance.
That's clear.
[sighs] Can you start in the morning?
- Morning, tomorrow?
- Yeah.
So, could I take her
with me for a day? Month?
[chuckles] Nana, it's a baby.
At a fertility clinic.
It it's like bringing vodka
to an AA meeting, yeah?
[laughs] Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No, it's not gonna work.
[Helle] No, it's not.
- [Nana] Mum!
- [sighs]
But it's only until she starts at nursery.
- She's two months old.
- [Nana] Nearly three.
And when she's six months,
she can go to nursery.
- There's this sort of guarantee.
- No, it's in 100 years, Nana.
It's not 100 years, Mum. It really isn't.
- Maybe you should ask the baby's father.
- Oh, not again, Mum.
It would also be an excellent opportunity
to tell him the truth.
[quietly] Mum, not here.
Do you think the cheekbones
could do with?
- [stylist] Agreed. I was about to.
- [Lise] Ah, okay. Good.
There's only you.
Sweetie, I've got so much on right now.
Yeah, yeah, but you work in the evenings.
This is during the day.
Please, come on!
[man on radio] Ten minutes to studio.
Ten minutes to studio.
It looks good? Hmm?
- Yeah, marvellous.
- [laughs]
- [baby fusses]
- [Nana] "So very marvellous."
"You look fabulous, Grandma!"
"Please look after me?"
"I promise I'll behave.
Please look after me, Grandma, please!"
"The world's best Grandmama."
- Coming with Grandma on tour, huh?
- "Yeah!"
But what will we put on the poster?
You still haven't got a name, huh?
[woman] Hi, Lise.
- Hi.
- Hi! Who do we have here, then, huh?
[cheerfully] Well, it's my granddaughter.
- What's your name, you sweet cutie?
- Um
Well, she hasn't actually got a name.
Apparently, it's impossible
for my daughter to choose.
Yeah, and I'm the impossible daughter.
- Cecilie. Hi. Good to meet you.
- [Nana] Hi.
What an angelic baby.
Imagine being that size again, hey?
And I think we must be looking
at simply the world's best grandmother.
Oh! [laughs]
Well, I am, in actual fact, going
to be babysitting her during the day.
- [Cecilie gasps]
- [Lise] Yes!
Sort of like a daycare grandma,
you could call it.
But that's so lovely. Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- I'll see you in a minute. Yes, I will.
- Bye. Good to meet you.
- Yeah, bye.
- So, she's yours again. Here you go.
- [whispers] Thanks, Mum.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- [Lise] Okay. Easy, sweetie.
No! Just be careful!
- Oh! Get off.
- I'm being loving.
- Your hair's a bit greasy.
- Harsh.
- [sniffles, sighs]
- [man speaking indistinctly on radio]
[energetic music playing]
- [baby fussing]
- Hey, sweets.
Mwah.
[laughs]
[warmly] Hello there! Grandmother is here!
- [exclaims]
- And two suitcases with you?
Ah, do you really think all my things
could fit into these two?
- No, yeah.
- [Lise] Yeah!
It's a really special thing
when generations can all live together.
What's he talking about, Mum?
[Lise] Yes!
Oh, hi, sweetie.
- Ah.
- [man] Have a nice day.
Yeah, thanks. Okay, yeah.
Same to you. Thanks.
- [Lise] Grandma!
- [laughs]
[exclaims]
Have you missed me? I've missed you.
But I've come to stay now.
We'll have such fun, little one.
I wasn't aware
that we'd agreed you'd be moving in.
But what did you imagine would happen?
I can't commute from abroad every day.
It's Malmö. It's not like
It's no further away than Gladsaxe.
[sighs] Are you anxious
about your first day back?
What? No. It'll It's gonna be good.
- It's gonna be fine.
- [Lise] Grandma!
Yes, there.
- Yeah. So I have, um
- [Lise speaking indistinctly]
I've pumped out,
so there's plenty of milk in the fridge,
and I've packed the nappy bag. It's here.
The keys are here.
And so this is the one
- Sweetie.
- [Nana] Mum!
- Yeah?
- [Nana] This is the one that works.
Look. This is the one that'll work.
Yes. I've been responsible
for one difficult child already,
so I think I'll manage.
[sighs] Okay.
I won't be late home.
Ring me if there's anything at all.
Just the slightest.
[softly] See you soon.
- Mm.
- Bye to Mummy.
- Bye-bye, Mummy.
- [softly] Hi.
- [Nana gasps]
- [Lise] Ooh, she's laughing at her mummy.
[energetic music playing]
[gulls calling]
[tools clanging]
[builders shouting indistinctly]
[midwife] Hi, Nana!
- Hi. Hi.
- [midwife] Hi. Good to have you back.
- [Nana] Hmm.
- [Simone] Oh, you're back.
[both grunt]
[gasps] It's all been settled?
- [Nana] Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- And?
- I baked.
- Yes, you have.
- Has it been a rough night, or?
- No, what for?
[Simone] Well, you just look
a little tired.
Come on. We'll get you a uniform.
Sorry about, um all the chaos.
- You said it was wild.
- Yeah.
[tools clanging]
The noise makes you feel
like you're going totally insane.
[drilling]
[Simone] Are you there?
Yeah. [sighs]
[Nana] So, perhaps
if there's a size medium
Yes. Let me see what's left. I
- Nana! Hi!
- [gasps]
- Hi!
- [chuckling] Hi. Hi.
Hey! I am so glad it all worked out
and we found a babysitter.
- I'm so glad.
- Or rather that you've found a babysitter.
- Yeah. I'm delighted.
- Ooh. You're trying on new uniforms?
- Yeah, we're going to, uh
- There's only bottoms in extra small.
- But try them on because they might be
- [Helle] They will fit you. Yes.
- 100% bamboo, so your skin can breathe.
- Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
- [grunts]
- Yes, and then just button them.
[Nana] I think they might be a little
on the small side, actually.
No. No, no.
Um, perhaps it's the pockets that
Wait, wait here.
[Nana sighs] Um
- Uh
- [Helle] Let me.
- [grunts] Now push!
- [Nana] Yeah.
Helle, they're just too small.
- But, Helle, you've ordered new sizes.
- Yes, I have done.
- [Simone] Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Over two weeks ago or something, right?
- Yes. Yes. Yes. Due in any day, yeah.
I think Aren't there places
you need to be, are there?
"Simone."
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[chuckles]
So uh, you know what?
Now to problem-solve.
- In with your arms, so
- Yeah. [grunts]
So, in you go now. Head in.
- [Nana grunts]
- [Helle] Down. There. There.
There you go. I'll just tuck in the flaps.
- [grunts]
- An absolutely perfect fit.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
That's good. Well, let's get to it.
I want to say a thousand thanks
for the chance that you've given me.
I'm so happy.
Nana, to be honest,
I'm very glad you say that
because it's a huge chance I'm taking.
I'm willing to take that,
but I can't gamble.
Okay? So this is a trial period.
- Just one fault, and it's over for you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- [Helle] Okay?
They're good, aren't they?
Really good.
- I mean And nice material, yeah?
- Yeah.
Insanely nice material, yeah.
I mean, my bum breathes well in them.
- [both laugh]
- [gasps]
Don't know if you've noticed,
but the builders are behind schedule,
so so for the time being, to start,
you'll have to put up with
sharing an office with
- Hey, hey, hey, Hampus! Hello. Nana.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- [Hampus] There you are, Nana.
- Nana, yes.
- I've heard so much about you.
- [quietly] Yeah.
- Oh, have you? Hi. Nana.
- [Hampus] Hey! Hampus.
- Hey.
- [Helle] We call him "the new Nana." Yes.
- You see?
- I've got much to live up to, huh?
- [all chuckle]
- [Helle] Well, I mean You two
You two You
You will become a dream team.
- I'm absolutely positive about that.
- Okay.
[phone rings, connects]
- [Helle] Helle Svane. Yes.
- [sighs]
Jannick. Listen.
It it's it's not Two seconds.
See you at the staff meeting at 3:00.
[Nana] Uh, Helle? Helle?
- At 3:00 p.m. Okay?
- Yeah. Okay. [chuckles slightly]
[satisfied sigh] Yeah.
Helle said that you are just back
from maternity leave.
Mm, yeah. That's right. Yeah.
Yeah. And that your daughter,
mm, is about two months?
- She's nearly three, so Nearly three.
- Okay.
She must be very, I guess, robust.
[Nana] Mm.
My children would've really
would be traumatized if I'd left them.
I would've been too,
for that matter. [chuckles]
Uh, she's advanced in a lot of areas.
She's got a quite strong
[inhales sharply]
um, core, I mean.
- She's basically perfect.
- [Hampus] Uh-huh.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
- [Nana] Mm.
- [Hampus] Right.
- [easy-listening lobby music playing]
- [machinery whirring in distance]
Uh, Lea Jensen?
- [Lea] That's me.
- Yeah?
- Hi. I'm Nana.
- Hi.
- Lea.
- Good to see you.
- Yeah.
- [Nana] Yeah.
Right, we're just, uh just along here.
Well, I think I wanted to become
an egg donor because of my cousin.
That is, they got their baby
by using an egg donor, you could say.
- I see how much it means to them.
- [Nana] Of course.
- Absolutely. [sighs]
- Mm.
Though you get practically nothing for it.
Yeah, 7,000 is not a lot compared
to the things you have to go through,
but the state's decided that amount.
Mm. Even so, if I can help fulfil
someone's biggest dream
So, well, you know
That's the most important thing.
- [Nana] Mm.
- Do you have children?
I have a daughter.
I've just come back from leave.
In fact, it's my first day today.
- What? Hey, that's wild.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
- What's it like?
- Uh
I've got to get back into the swing of it,
but it feels absolutely fantastic. [sighs]
Yes. Oh, you misunderstood.
I meant being away from your baby.
Yeah, uh, hard.
- It's really tough. Super hard.
- [Lea] I understand.
- How old is she?
- Two. Closer to three.
Years. Almost.
- [gentle music playing]
- [chuckling]
How dreamy to have
such a long maternity leave.
[laughing nervously] Yeah, yeah.
It was a very, very long time.
[machine whirring]
[Anton] There.
[grunts]
[espresso machine beeps, whirring]
- Really? What's this?
- Oh, it's Helle. She made it.
She found pottery
during her maternity leave.
- Okay.
- [Anton] Yeah.
- [Nana] She had two weeks.
- Yeah.
And they spent one of them on Bornholm,
where she learned how to glaze.
- They remind me of tea light holders.
- You could say that, yeah.
Here you go.
- [inhales sharply, groans]
- [Anton] You get used to it.
What's wrong with handles, please tell me?
Yes, that is the general opinion
[hushed]but we keep it to ourselves.
- Naturally.
- She's proud of 'em.
Of course. Understandably so.
- Ow! Fuck's sake.
- Mm.
[Anton exhales]
[laughs] Nana, what the hell?
- What the hell?
- [Niels-Anders] Sorry!
- I'm just so very glad to see you.
- [Nana] Me too.
- So, yeah. Oh no! Be careful here.
- Yeah. What's wrong?
Well, it's, uh No, no. I I
I don't want to bore you
with this on your first day.
The meeting starts in 5 minutes,
so I don't think there's time for it.
Yeah. It's a work injury.
I mean, I was, um trying to dodge
a beam one of the builders was carrying,
and then what happened was that, uh
Twisted my entire neck.
Okay? Sounds violent.
You mean the whole neck?
Yes. And can you believe it?
Serious whiplash.
- Whiplash?
- [Niels-Anders] Yes.
It's a long time since I've heard of that.
[Anton] It's more of a '90s thing.
- Today, I believe concussions are
- [Niels-Anders] No, it's still popular.
- Modern, serious whiplash. Absolutely.
- Definitely.
- [Niels-Anders] Yes.
- [Anton] How's the baby?
Yeah. So tell me, isn't it only two months
since you gave birth?
No, it's been three months.
- Oh?
- [Nana] So, but, um
Great! It's going great.
My mum is babysitting.
- Yeah?
- [Nana] Mm-hmm.
It's not surprising she does it.
A caring person. [sighs]
Yeah, sure is. [yelps]
- Oh dear.
- Fu
No
- Ah, here. Use this, use this.
- Uh
- [groaning]
- [Anton] It's those cups.
Idiotic cups.
- No! Be Careful!
- No!
[weakly] I'm already an injured person.
[groans]
Although you already were a legend
at the old DoVi,
there's a little handful of the new DoVi
who might not know you,
so could you say
a little bit about yourself?
Yeah, I can do that.
Um, well, most of you know me,
but, um, I'm Nana Jessen. I'm a doctor
LaCour.
Nana LaCour Jessen. [chuckles]
- That's right. Um and, yeah, yeah.
- [Niels-Anders] Yes.
- I've been at DoVi for six years?
- Yeah. Think so.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. That's all there is.
Thanks, Nana.
And so I'm thinking the new handful
can also introduce themselves to Nana.
I'm Tine, and I work in the lab.
- Hi.
- I'm Adam. I'm a midwife.
- Hi, Adam.
- [Helle] And then our latest arrival.
It's our little rising star.
May I introduce Hampus Lindberg.
- [Hampus] God. Yeah, where do I start?
- We have actually We have Oh.
[chuckles] Uh, before we moved
to Copenhagen,
I was working as a senior
general practitioner in Stockholm.
- At a private clinic.
- Oh.
Now I'm here,
and I'm very happy about that.
And I've been made
to feel so welcome, very welcome.
I really feel that,
precisely like me, you are all passionate
about what we do here at DoVi.
Because what can be more important
than the greatest gift there is?
- Life itself.
- [man 1] Aww!
- [man 2] Spot on.
- [woman] Lovely.
- [approving chatter and applause]
- Yeah? Okay. Mm.
Right.
[hesitating] And that is why, speaking of,
I would like to Life, that is.
I would also like to say that
I've been looking forward to coming back
from my maternity leave.
I'm looking forward
to doing what we do best,
to fulfil our clients' hopes and dreams.
Right.
Because there really isn't anything
as meaningful as as creating families.
- [Helle] Mm.
- Yeah. Okay, thanks. Yeah. So, thanks.
- Forgive me, Nana. When you say family
- Yep?
Then I am strongly,
uh, reminded of something
that happened when I was in Tanzania.
My wife and I really wanted to contribute
something to the to the real world.
Our plan was
to open a maternity clinic there.
- Far out in the country. Uh, in the bush.
- [Nana] Yeah. Okay.
[Hampus] Yeah. And then one night
So, uh, well, mm
Our little little boy, little Oscar,
began to run a high fever.
He was close to death.
And then it was
as if the roles were reversed.
I mean, the ones
we had actually come to help,
well, they were suddenly helping us.
They held my hand
through the worst hours of my life.
Ah.
These people who had nothing,
they gave us everything.
My son's life.
[group] Aww!
[Hampus] It was as if lightning
had struck, and I just knew that this is
what I'll devote my career to.
I I want to give other people
the most beautiful thing there is.

- [Nana] Mm-hmm.
- [Hampus] Yes.
- I am sorry.
- Aw. Yeah.
- Mm. I get upset very easily.
- Yeah, it's a very nice story.
- Yeah, it's really touching, actually.

Yeah, thanks for sharing it. [chuckles]

Have you, um,
thought about writing that letter?
[clears throat] What?
The matter of the letter, Nana.
- Which letter, now?
- Stop it. To the father of your child.
- I'm serious, must we talk about it?
- I don't see why it's such an awful idea.
And since you couldn't bear
to tell him face to face,
you'll have to find another way.
Fine.

He doesn't need to know.
He needs to know. He does.
He has a daughter in Denmark.
[baby fussing, coughs]
Yeah. So did my father.
He ignored it fine.
Yes, but you know
Mathias isn't your father.
And Mathias doesn't have a clue
he's got a daughter.
A daughter he might want to know.

I really can't understand

- Are you saying a name?
- No, it's not a name. I haven't a clue.
- Yeah, I haven't I don't know its
- [woman 1] It?
Yeah. No, her. She's a her. She's a girl.
[woman 1 sighs]
[David] Well, if we had had a girl,
we would have called her Marie.
- [woman 2] Marie is quite popular.
- Alma is also really sweet.
[woman 2] Okay, but you have to hurry up.
Otherwise, I think the rule is that she
will be called Margrethe after the queen.

Can't you just say a name?
So the game doesn't stop.

I don't understand why you're here
if you don't want to sing.
I don't understand either, if I'm honest.
I don't even like being here.
What the hell? I actually hate it here.
I hate being in this cold,
cold church I'm not a member of.
And I really hate being forced
to listen to really tedious stories
of your really tedious maternity leaves,
which no one, I mean,
no one is interested in.
- Not even yourselves.
- [priest] Nana.
You need five minutes in the church porch.
I don't need five minutes
in the church porch.
- It's not remotely interesting to me!
- [priest] All right.
- Nana, breathe.
- Don't speak to me!
- [priest] To the diaphragm.
- Don't shut me up!
Don't stand there in your [mumbles]
Yeah, what would you say it is?
With your lampshade there. Huh?
You think you're the boss
just because you're the priest?
Perhaps you ought to have thought
longer about your kids' names
because they are really,
really dumb names.
Pelle is a dumb name!
And Vilde?
- Don't listen to her, my cutie.

- Uh, she just fell asleep.
- So if you could leave
- Are you loving maternity leave?
- Not really, but
- [Helle] No. I took two weeks.
Full-time. Fourteen days
we'll never get back.
- Yup.
- [Helle] Yeah.
- [baby crying]
- Um
- You should have said you were coming.
- [Nana] Hmm?
I would have made time to give you
the grand tour of the new DoVi.
Actually, I'd really like
to talk to you about something.
- It'll go in the calendar. Jannick!
- [Jannick] Nana.
Weren't you fired?
- Yeah, it's
- [hesitates]
It was, um, only due to cutbacks, so
Nana, it's quite interesting
you're standing there with no helmet on.
They do say
that if you don't wear a helmet
on a construction site, you are naked.
But you're welcome to lend this one here.
- [grunts] Wow, Carsten.
- Yes.
- New hairstyle.
- [Nana] Looks good.
[Jannick] Let's get going.
- [Nana] Helle.
- Nana.
- [Nana] Yeah?
- It was wonderful to see you.
But but can I
can I just have two minutes?
- Two minutes.
- I can give up two.
Only two minutes, Jannick.
- I mean it. I haven't got all day.
- Two minutes.
- Right. Two minutes.
- Two.
- [Carsten] Jannick, so let's go this way.
- I want to work at DoVi.
- [Helle] What?
- I can't stand it anymore.
I can't bear it, and I'm no good at it.
I have to get back to my job.
You want me to hire you again?
You lack personnel.
And I'm good.
You know it very well. Very good.
Uh-uh. There have been many developments.
You should know that.
- Yes.
- [Helle] DoVi is straight as an arrow.
Both mentally and architecturally.
There is nothing left to chance.
That's clear.
[sighs] Can you start in the morning?
- Morning, tomorrow?
- Yeah.
So, could I take her
with me for a day? Month?
[chuckles] Nana, it's a baby.
At a fertility clinic.
It it's like bringing vodka
to an AA meeting, yeah?
[laughs] Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No, it's not gonna work.
[Helle] No, it's not.
- [Nana] Mum!
- [sighs]
But it's only until she starts at nursery.
- She's two months old.
- [Nana] Nearly three.
And when she's six months,
she can go to nursery.
- There's this sort of guarantee.
- No, it's in 100 years, Nana.
It's not 100 years, Mum. It really isn't.
- Maybe you should ask the baby's father.
- Oh, not again, Mum.
It would also be an excellent opportunity
to tell him the truth.
[quietly] Mum, not here.
Do you think the cheekbones
could do with?
- [stylist] Agreed. I was about to.
- [Lise] Ah, okay. Good.
There's only you.
Sweetie, I've got so much on right now.
Yeah, yeah, but you work in the evenings.
This is during the day.
Please, come on!
[man on radio] Ten minutes to studio.
Ten minutes to studio.
It looks good? Hmm?
- Yeah, marvellous.
- [laughs]
- [baby fusses]
- [Nana] "So very marvellous."
"You look fabulous, Grandma!"
"Please look after me?"
"I promise I'll behave.
Please look after me, Grandma, please!"
"The world's best Grandmama."
- Coming with Grandma on tour, huh?
- "Yeah!"
But what will we put on the poster?
You still haven't got a name, huh?
[woman] Hi, Lise.
- Hi.
- Hi! Who do we have here, then, huh?
[cheerfully] Well, it's my granddaughter.
- What's your name, you sweet cutie?
- Um
Well, she hasn't actually got a name.
Apparently, it's impossible
for my daughter to choose.
Yeah, and I'm the impossible daughter.
- Cecilie. Hi. Good to meet you.
- [Nana] Hi.
What an angelic baby.
Imagine being that size again, hey?
And I think we must be looking
at simply the world's best grandmother.
Oh! [laughs]
Well, I am, in actual fact, going
to be babysitting her during the day.
- [Cecilie gasps]
- [Lise] Yes!
Sort of like a daycare grandma,
you could call it.
But that's so lovely. Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- I'll see you in a minute. Yes, I will.
- Bye. Good to meet you.
- Yeah, bye.
- So, she's yours again. Here you go.
- [whispers] Thanks, Mum.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- [Lise] Okay. Easy, sweetie.
No! Just be careful!
- Oh! Get off.

- And two suitcases with you?
Ah, do you really think all my things
could fit into these two?
- No, yeah.

It's a really special thing
when generations can all live together.
What's he talking about, Mum?
[Lise] Yes!
Oh, hi, sweetie.
- Ah.

Yeah, thanks. Okay, yeah.
Same to you. Thanks.

But I've come to stay now.
We'll have such fun, little one.
I wasn't aware
that we'd agreed you'd be moving in.
But what did you imagine would happen?
I can't commute from abroad every day.
It's Malmö. It's not like
It's no further away than Gladsaxe.
[sighs] Are you anxious
about your first day back?
What? No. It'll It's gonna be good.
- It's gonna be fine.
- [Lise] Grandma!
Yes, there.
- Yeah. So I have, um

I've pumped out,
so there's plenty of milk in the fridge,
and I've packed the nappy bag. It's here.
The keys are here.
And so this is the one
- Sweetie.
- [Nana] Mum!
- Yeah?
- [Nana] This is the one that works.
Look. This is the one that'll work.
Yes. I've been responsible
for one difficult child already,
so I think I'll manage.
[sighs] Okay.
I won't be late home.
Ring me if there's anything at all.
Just the slightest.
[softly] See you soon.

- There's only bottoms in extra small.
- But try them on because they might be

- 100% bamboo, so your skin can breathe.
- Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
- [grunts]
- Yes, and then just button them.
[Nana] I think they might be a little
on the small side, actually.
No. No, no.
Um, perhaps it's the pockets that
Wait, wait here.
[Nana sighs] Um
- Uh
- [Helle] Let me.
- [grunts] Now push!
- [Nana] Yeah.
Helle, they're just too small.
- But, Helle, you've ordered new sizes.
- Yes, I have done.
- [Simone] Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Over two weeks ago or something, right?
- Yes. Yes. Yes. Due in any day, yeah.
I think Aren't there places
you need to be, are there?

Now to problem-solve.

So, in you go now. Head in.

There you go. I'll just tuck in the flaps.
- [grunts]
- An absolutely perfect fit.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
That's good. Well, let's get to it.
I want to say a thousand thanks
for the chance that you've given me.
I'm so happy.
Nana, to be honest,
I'm very glad you say that
because it's a huge chance I'm taking.
I'm willing to take that,
but I can't gamble.
Okay? So this is a trial period.
- Just one fault, and it's over for you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- [Helle] Okay?
They're good, aren't they?
Really good.
- I mean And nice material, yeah?
- Yeah.
Insanely nice material, yeah.
I mean, my bum breathes well in them.

Don't know if you've noticed,
but the builders are behind schedule,

It it's it's not Two seconds.
See you at the staff meeting at 3:00.
[Nana] Uh, Helle? Helle?
- At 3:00 p.m. Okay?
- Yeah. Okay. [chuckles slightly]
[satisfied sigh] Yeah.
Helle said that you are just back
from maternity leave.
Mm, yeah. That's right. Yeah.
Yeah. And that your daughter,
mm, is about two months?
- She's nearly three, so Nearly three.
- Okay.
She must be very, I guess, robust.
[Nana] Mm.
My children would've really
would be traumatized if I'd left them.
I would've been too,
for that matter. [chuckles]
Uh, she's advanced in a lot of areas.
She's got a quite strong
[inhales sharply]
um, core, I mean.
- She's basically perfect.
- [Hampus] Uh-huh.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
- [Nana] Mm.
- [Hampus] Right.
- [easy-listening lobby music playing]
- [machinery whirring in distance]
Uh, Lea Jensen?
- [Lea] That's me.
- Yeah?
- Hi. I'm Nana.
- Hi.
- Lea.
- Good to see you.
- Yeah.
- [Nana] Yeah.
Right, we're just, uh just along here.
Well, I think I wanted to become
an egg donor because of my cousin.
That is, they got their baby
by using an egg donor, you could say.
- I see how much it means to them.
- [Nana] Of course.
- Absolutely. [sighs]
- Mm.
Though you get practically nothing for it.
Yeah, 7,000 is not a lot compared
to the things you have to go through,
but the state's decided that amount.
Mm. Even so, if I can help fulfil
someone's biggest dream
So, well, you know
That's the most important thing.
- [Nana] Mm.
- Do you have children?
I have a daughter.
I've just come back from leave.
In fact, it's my first day today.
- What? Hey, that's wild.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
- What's it like?
- Uh
I've got to get back into the swing of it,
but it feels absolutely fantastic. [sighs]
Yes. Oh, you misunderstood.
I meant being away from your baby.
Yeah, uh, hard.
- It's really tough. Super hard.
- [Lea] I understand.
- How old is she?
- Two. Closer to three.
Years. Almost.
- [gentle music playing]
- [chuckling]
How dreamy to have
such a long maternity leave.
[laughing nervously] Yeah, yeah.
It was a very, very long time.
[machine whirring]
[Anton] There.
[grunts]
[espresso machine beeps, whirring]
- Really? What's this?
- Oh, it's Helle. She made it.
She found pottery
during her maternity leave.
- Okay.
- [Anton] Yeah.
- [Nana] She had two weeks.
- Yeah.
And they spent one of them on Bornholm,
where she learned how to glaze.
- They remind me of tea light holders.
- You could say that, yeah.
Here you go.
- [inhales sharply, groans]
- [Anton] You get used to it.
What's wrong with handles, please tell me?
Yes, that is the general opinion
[hushed]but we keep it to ourselves.
- Naturally.
- She's proud of 'em.
Of course. Understandably so.
- Ow! Fuck's sake.
- Mm.
[Anton exhales]
[laughs] Nana, what the hell?
- What the hell?
- [Niels-Anders] Sorry!
- I'm just so very glad to see you.
- [Nana] Me too.
- So, yeah. Oh no! Be careful here.
- Yeah. What's wrong?
Well, it's, uh No, no. I I
I don't want to bore you
with this on your first day.
The meeting starts in 5 minutes,
so I don't think there's time for it.
Yeah. It's a work injury.
I mean, I was, um trying to dodge
a beam one of the builders was carrying,
and then what happened was that, uh
Twisted my entire neck.
Okay? Sounds violent.
You mean the whole neck?
Yes. And can you believe it?
Serious whiplash.
- Whiplash?
- [Niels-Anders] Yes.
It's a long time since I've heard of that.
[Anton] It's more of a '90s thing.
- Today, I believe concussions are
- [Niels-Anders] No, it's still popular.
- Modern, serious whiplash. Absolutely.
- Definitely.
- [Niels-Anders] Yes.
- [Anton] How's the baby?
Yeah. So tell me, isn't it only two months
since you gave birth?
No, it's been three months.
- Oh?
- [Nana] So, but, um
Great! It's going great.
My mum is babysitting.
- Yeah?
- [Nana] Mm-hmm.
It's not surprising she does it.
A caring person. [sighs]
Yeah, sure is. [yelps]
- Oh dear.
- Fu
No
- Ah, here. Use this, use this.
- Uh
- [groaning]
- [Anton] It's those cups.
Idiotic cups.
- No! Be Careful!
- No!
[weakly] I'm already an injured person.
[groans]
Although you already were a legend
at the old DoVi,
there's a little handful of the new DoVi
who might not know you,
so could you say
a little bit about yourself?
Yeah, I can do that.
Um, well, most of you know me,
but, um, I'm Nana Jessen. I'm a doctor
LaCour.
Nana LaCour Jessen. [chuckles]
- That's right. Um and, yeah, yeah.
- [Niels-Anders] Yes.
- I've been at DoVi for six years?
- Yeah. Think so.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. That's all there is.
Thanks, Nana.
And so I'm thinking the new handful
can also introduce themselves to Nana.
I'm Tine, and I work in the lab.
- Hi.
- I'm Adam. I'm a midwife.
- Hi, Adam.
- [Helle] And then our latest arrival.
It's our little rising star.
May I introduce Hampus Lindberg.
- [Hampus] God. Yeah, where do I start?
- We have actually We have Oh.
[chuckles] Uh, before we moved
to Copenhagen,
I was working as a senior
general practitioner in Stockholm.
- At a private clinic.
- Oh.
Now I'm here,
and I'm very happy about that.
And I've been made
to feel so welcome, very welcome.
I really feel that,
precisely like me, you are all passionate
about what we do here at DoVi.
Because what can be more important
than the greatest gift there is?
- Life itself.
- [man 1] Aww!
- [man 2] Spot on.
- [woman] Lovely.
- [approving chatter and applause]
- Yeah? Okay. Mm.
Right.
[hesitating] And that is why, speaking of,
I would like to Life, that is.
I would also like to say that
I've been looking forward to coming back
from my maternity leave.
I'm looking forward
to doing what we do best,
to fulfil our clients' hopes and dreams.
Right.
Because there really isn't anything
as meaningful as as creating families.
- [Helle] Mm.
- Yeah. Okay, thanks. Yeah. So, thanks.
- Forgive me, Nana. When you say family
- Yep?
Then I am strongly,
uh, reminded of something
that happened when I was in Tanzania.
My wife and I really wanted to contribute
something to the to the real world.
Our plan was
to open a maternity clinic there.
- Far out in the country. Uh, in the bush.
- [Nana] Yeah. Okay.
[Hampus] Yeah. And then one night
So, uh, well, mm
Our little little boy, little Oscar,
began to run a high fever.
He was close to death.
And then it was
as if the roles were reversed.
I mean, the ones
we had actually come to help,
well, they were suddenly helping us.
They held my hand
through the worst hours of my life.
Ah.
These people who had nothing,
they gave us everything.
My son's life.
[group] Aww!
[Hampus] It was as if lightning
had struck, and I just knew that this is
what I'll devote my career to.
I I want to give other people
the most beautiful thing there is.
[chokes back tears] Parenthood.
- [Nana] Mm-hmm.
- [Hampus] Yes.
- I am sorry.
- Aw. Yeah.
- Mm. I get upset very easily.
- Yeah, it's a very nice story.
- Yeah, it's really touching, actually.
- Yeah.
Yeah, thanks for sharing it. [chuckles]
- [sniffles] Excuse me.
- [Nana] Um
I've bought a cake
if anyone would like some.
- There's, um It's pecan pie.

- Which, um
- Okay, yeah.
Excuse me, I have to let it [sighs]

and then she wrote this song.
