[music peaks, fades]
[indistinct chatter]
- [Mathias] Nana.
- Mathias?
- [chuckles] Hi.
- Hi.
[energetic music playing]
- What are you doing here?
- I'm shopping.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. [chuckles]
Yeah, but I meant you're
you're in Denmark.
Just for a little time.
My folks' silver wedding.
- Ah, okay. That's nice.
- A quick visit, yeah.
- Yeah.
- [Nana] Hmm.
Long time.
Yeah, I mean
And you're well?
[nonchalantly] Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I
Uh, yeah.
Yeah. I'd say nothing much going on.
Uh I've moved to Frederiksberg.
- Okay.
- [Nana] Yeah.
- That's very fancy.
- Ah.
- Ah, it's not great. The flat's awful.
- [Mathias] Ah.
- Yeah, but also yeah.
- Okay.
Is it yours?
God! [laughs]
- There you are. Oh.
- [chuckles]
[gently] Hi. There you are.
Uh, yeah. The the pram's mine as well.
- That's it.
- [Mathias] Is it a boy?
Yeah. Or rather, no. It's a girl.
It's a girl.
- A girl.
- [Nana] Mm.
- That's just crazy.
- It is a bit crazy.
And who's her dad, then?
- [intense music playing]
- [Nana] She's yours.
Come on, just say it.
- "She's yours. You're the father."
- [baby crying]
[Mathias] She's woken up.
- [Nana] What?
- She's woken up.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hi!
[sweetly] Hi. Oh
Take a moment. Oh.
Oh, you took a long nap there.
There was nothing that I
[baby fusses]
Can you hold her? Thanks.
[sighs]
[Mathias] Hi. Do you see
what your mum is doing?
- She's about to destroy the entire store.
- Yep.
Yes, she's bulldozing it.
Hi! How cute are you?
- How cute you are!
- [bright music playing]
Yes, you're so cute.
Yes, you look like your mum.
- [baby fusses]
- [Mathias] Ah, it's not that bad.
Yeah, hi.
You want to go back to Mum?
[Nana] Yeah.
- [gently] There you go.
- [Nana] Thanks.
Thank you.
Um, good for you.
- She's cute.
- Thanks.
I'll see you.
Bye.
BABY FEVER
["Anything for You" playing]
You carry me through ♪
- [baby mewling]
- [pop music fades]
[Nana] Do you want to see
a picture of your daddy, sweetie?
- [Lise] Good morning, roomies!
- [gasps]
You know what I think?
It's not good
for a little one to have screen time.
No, no, no. Come on, Mum, it's not
Babies, they're all about eye contact
when they're so small, you know?
[sniffs] Otherwise,
it can lead to diabetes.
Seriously, don't you have a clean towel?
Did I look like my dad when I was a child?
No, no. You were
the spitting image of me. [laughs]
[groans]
- [Lise] Yes, you did!
- No, I really didn't.
[Lise] Yes.
- Were his teeth as big as mine?
- You don't have big teeth.
- Well, I have gigantic teeth.
- You don't have big teeth.
- I do, actually!
- You don't.
- Well, then have them filed.
- Don't poke in my mouth.
Yeah, okay.
[baby mewls]
There. Is that you awake?
[clicks tongue]
I'm just thinking about him at the moment.
Quite a lot, actually.
About who?
About my dad.
No. Stop thinking about things
that make you sad. You needn't do that.
You've got to take the bad thoughts
and lock them up in a little room
inside your brain
and throw away the key, okay?
[sweetly] Throw away the key.
Then open it when you're dying. Yes?
Oh, sweetie.
What do you think she's thinking?
I guess you're thinking of Grandma.
Of Grandma. Of Grandma.
Of Grandma, who's so sweet.
So, Grandma, she comes to care for you
When your mum is cold and gone ♪
- Uh, Mum!
- And gone ♪
[energetic music playing]
[gulls calling]
[loud drilling]
- [Nana] Good morning.
- Morning.
- Ah, okay. It's a big hole, huh?
- Yeah. Mm.
- Is that really necessary?
- I believe it's I just asked the same.
It's just Is it possible,
do you think, to make it smaller?
- In terms of holes. Is it?
- [worker] No.
You ordered concealed cabling, so
- Dear God, that's a big hole.
- [group] Yeah.
Thought about laying cables
under the floorboards?
[hesitates] Could it be worth
thinking over?
- [worker] No.
- No?
- What are you looking at?
- A hole in the ceiling into the loft.
- [drill whirring]
- [Niels-Anders] Ah.
- Ah, okay. It's a big hole.
- Yeah.
[worker] Yeah. As I said,
we are supposed to hide the cables.
Could you then work on it
outside of our office hours?
That will be much better.
- [worker] Yeah, a lot could be better.
- Yeah.
Hey. Oh, that's really smart
to lay the cables in the ceiling.
It'll be fantastic.
- Yeah.
- Is it your idea, Helle?
Yes. I thought it'd be so beautiful
with an invisible current.
- And it's calming, yeah?
- Sure.
- We did the same in our warehouse.
- Yeah.
And because it's such a big area,
about 350 square metres, it got dusty.
- Yeah.
- Also, incredibly expensive, right?
It's not about the pennies
when your project is your home.
Who? I'm just asking,
who's got a 350-square-metre apartment
in downtown Copenhagen?
That's totally corrupt.
I found a pair of trousers in your size.
Oh!
Fantastic. Thanks, thanks,
thanks, thanks, thanks.
[inhales sharply]
I saw him yesterday.
- Who?
- [quietly] Mathias.
What?
In Food Mart.
What? Why, uh Why is he in Denmark?
It has something to do with his parents,
celebrating their silver wedding
or something.
Did you say something to him?
- No. I couldn't. In Food Mart.
- [loud drilling continues]
[Nana] It was strange seeing him
standing there, holding her in his arms.
He held her, then?
[grunts] Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, Marianne.
- He held his daughter without knowing it?
- Yeah.
- [Simone] That's completely insane.
- It's not good.
- And your thoughts are?
- Thanks. I don't want to talk about it.
Isn't Lasse supposed to have
tissue taken out of his testicles?
For God's sake, it's ridiculously hot!
[light buzzing]
It's done. It's over, and I'm coming out.
There.
[exhales]
Can you tell me
how much greater the chance is this way?
It's hard to say precisely
but much higher.
So, if it's the case that you may not have
a particularly high sperm motility,
it can be a bit
of a tough journey for the sperm
to have to go from the testicles
through the vas deferens
and all the way out of the urethra.
So instead, we pull the sperm directly out
and make its journey a little shorter.
A sort of front way in, you could call it.
[Lasse sighs]
- [technician] Can you give it another try?
- Yep.
- [Lasse] What does that mean?
- It just means we'll give it another try.
Okay. Super good.
You just relax.
I'll insert this one again.
[Lasse exhales]
It's all good.
Comes out here.
Thanks.
- All okay?
- [Lasse] Mm-hmm.
[Nana] Just stay there and relax.
- [technician] Nana?
- Yeah?
- [technician] Could you come here, please?
- Absolutely. Back in a sec.
[lab equipment whirring]
Let me see? [exhales]
- There's no activity at all.
- No, there's no living tissue.
[Nana sighs]
There must be something in there.
I know it is a very vulnerable process.
[Lasse] It's just that
if we have to use a sperm donor
then I won't be the father, not really.
Can't you try again?
I can't do that, Lasse.
It's just bad luck.
[Lasse grunts]
Yeah, my husband
felt exactly the same way.
[Nana sighs]
What way?
He had a really hard time with the idea
of a sperm donor, and at the same time,
the quality of his sperm was rock bottom,
so we had no other alternative.
[bright music playing]
During the pregnancy, it was difficult.
Made him anxious.
But then, when she came out
then all those thoughts just disappeared.
- Really?
- [Nana] Mm-hmm.
Being a father,
it's not about the genes, it's only about
[sighs]
about love, really.
Hi Mathias, it was great meeting you
at the supermarket.
I'd like to talk to you about something.
I'd love to meet
for coffee before you leave.
Love, Nana.
[bright music fades]
[sighs deeply]
[pump whirring]
[door opens, closes]
[softly] Oh. She's asleep?
- She's sleeping.
- [Lise] Okay.
Good morning.
Good morning. [chuckles]
- [Lise chuckling softly]
- What?
[Nana] What?
- [scoffs] What?
- [Lise continues laughing]
Moo!
Seriously?
[laughs]
I'll get a cup of coffee.
[continues laughing]
[coffee pouring]
- Did you actually ever try to contact him?
- Hmm, what?
I mean, my dad.
After he left for Bangkok,
you didn't try to
Uh, it's a
I hadn't got his phone number
or his address or anything, so
It could've been you wanted me
to meet him and put the effort in.
You know what?
When I look at it, it just looks like
It's not working.
- Yes, just check this out.
- Mum! Don't touch my breasts!
- No, but shouldn't it create a vacuum?
- [Nana] Yes.
[sighs]
So he didn't even write a letter?
Stop by or ever or ring at all?
So I think you have to
I mean, you're supposed to
Mum! Don't use it on yourself.
- Don't use it on yourself!
- Take the whole
- No, but it
- I am experienced in
- No!
- I'm only trying to help, that's all.
Don't put it on your breasts. It's weird.
- It's weird! It's weird.
- Shh!
- I'm only trying to help, okay?
- Yeah. Just don't help me anymore.
It's clear you're not producing
as much as you're at work all the time.
Not true. I'm not at work all the time.
I'm It's a normal nine-to-four job.
Well
- I might stay till five today.
- Five o'clock?!
Yes, I have lots of clients.
And I've already said
that you have to come home early
as I have a concert in Tivoli today.
So you have to be home.
I told you yesterday.
- You did not tell me that!
- I did.
- I've got a soundcheck before 3:00 p.m.
- [groans]
- So you must be home before 2:30.
- Fuck! I'm gonna be very pressed.
I mean, or else
Then she can just be home alone or
- [sighs]
- I mean, she's almost three months old.
[sighs] Don't even joke.
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]
Fuck. I've gotta go.
[energetic music playing]
- See you at three.
- No! Half two.
- Half two? Okay.
- [Lise] Half two, yes.
[sighs] Kiss her for me.
- Okay.
- [door closes]
- [Helle] Good morning.
- [all] Good morning.
[Helle] I know we're all
under a lot of pressure at the moment.
- I mean, that renovation, right?
- [drilling]
[Helle] But until the last builder
has left the building, we all simply
I ask I mean to
And it goes for me too.
As a group, we must all just
[inhales air]
[Hampus] Hmm?
[pops lips] Clench our balls in.
I get it. If the pressure
gives you palpitations
when you walk
in that door in the morning or
Well well
Get hot flushes when you get into the car
or feel like screaming in your wife's face
the moment she asks you to cut down.
But as I've just learned
at my new, wonderful leadership course,
"Know the Way, Go the Way, Show the Way",
there's something you can do together.
- So we can do something.
- [Simone] Helle?
- Yeah?
- Are you, um Are you okay?
[Helle chuckles]
I'm simply so glad you asked
exactly that question, Simone.
Because then I can say, "Yes, I am."
YES
I I can vouch a strong, clear yes.
[Simone chuckles]
It might sound trite, but it's actually
just a matter of putting on the "yes cap".
So feel free. [inhales sharply]
Come on.
- [Anton] Um
- Yeah?
I have to say I've never had
a good head for a hat at all.
- No? Okay.
- No, and I'm also not sure, Helle.
As, uh with the collar
and a hat, I mean, it's
- [sighs] I mean, honestly, I'm totally in.
- [chair squeaks]
- [Hampus] Okay.
- [Nana] Hmm.
Yes. Yes, Nana!
- Okay.
- Exactly! And Hampus as well.
Here at DoVi, we simply go, "Yes."
- Yeah?
- [Helle] Yes!
- That's what we say!
- Yes?
Let's go!
Let's get this box passed around.
Dig in. There's enough for everyone.
I counted every one of them.
You've got really good hat heads,
all of you.
Yeah! I'll just say that,
to me, you all look just perfect.
It's like the perfect bridge
to you, Hampus, and your new idea.
So much so, I have just said yes to it.
Thanks a lot, Helle. Thanks a million, uh
It's great to see
so many positive and ambitious,
creative, competent professionals
here today.
We must be able to do our work.
We must be able to
- We must be able to develop our work.
- Yeah, sure.
[Hampus] Therefore, I have come up with
a new method
which aims to totally strengthen
our special working community,
starry moments.
STARRY MOMENTS
[Hampus] We take turns doing
a work-related presentation
for the meeting.
The topics are endless.
Uh, something that inspires you
or just a tiny nugget, Nana.
Or, I mean, it could be
something you read in the paper.
You could present, uh,
new findings that are
that perhaps come out of meetings
with a client or something. Anything.
[sighs, chuckles]
Yes. Yeah!
Thanks, all.
And seeing as it's my brilliant idea,
I should be
the one that kicks the thing off.
May I ask something?
I mean, it's Sorry to butt in.
It's really inspiring,
but isn't it stupid to spend time on this
when the waiting lists are so long?
- Nana?
- Yep.
- [Helle] Okay?
- Yep.
[chuckles] Good. Okay.
Uh, yeah. My intention was to elaborate,
and then Nana interrupted me.
[echoing] My PhD.
Now, the subject was a case
Just think, his PhD
will change the law in Sweden.
That's what he's got to brag about?
It won't change a thing.
Why are you in such a sulk?
[drill whirring]
I texted Mathias, and he's not replied.
So what did you say?
I said did he want to meet
as there's something I want to tell him.
- It's just really dumb.
- No, Nana. No, it's not dumb.
It's It's so good.
You really are gonna have
to tell him the truth.
- [Carsten] Nice hats.
- [both] Thanks.
I can't make this app work. Could you?
Well, I've got a client, so I
- Okay?
- Okay.
- I've got to go.
- Where's Helle?
Helle's a little pressed for time today,
so I've come to show you around.
Do you want coffee?
- [Jannick] Have you got new cups?
- No.
So we don't want it.
Well, I can see it's a fine blastocyst
they have in the freezer.
[client] Yeah, I think
it's about time for a third child.
- That's nice.
- It's the last one we have.
I'm hoping it's going to stick fast.
- [Nana] It's gone well with previous ones.
- Yes. Mm-hmm.
So I'll just need you
to put your signature right there.
[client] Yes.
Then your husband's next to it,
but you can take it home.
Okay, won't it be enough with mine?
Oh no, no. They're also his blastocysts,
so we have to have his permission.
Yes, obviously.
After all, it was always the plan
we should use the ones in the freezer.
- So
- Okay.
Just so you're aware,
we're agreed on that.
And he couldn't make it today?
- [sighs]
- He does know you're here, doesn't he?
Yeah.
Well, that's good.
[sombre music playing]
My boyfriend and I were actually also
in quite different places
regarding having babies.
Or, I mean, I certainly What do you say?
was further along than him.
- Okay.
- [Nana] Mm-hmm.
What did you do?
I actually considered doing it
behind his back.
But, uh that doesn't work, so I, uh
[inhales sharply]
chose the path to be honest
and just said that I
very much wish to be a mum.
- [client] And did he agree to it?
- Yeah, he totally did.
[quietly] Totally did.
[line rings]
[Mathias] You have reached Mathias.
Leave a message.
- [voicemail beeps]
- Hi, Mathias.
It's Nana. Uh
Just wondering if you still had
the same number, but, uh
It's you who answered.
I guess you do. [chuckles]
Uh, yeah, just checking if you got
my message, and it's likely you have.
Okay, bye.
[lights buzzing]
[water sloshing]
[Jannick] Don't tell me
this will be ready in two weeks.
[Simone] Helle expected it
to be further on.
However, I can see that might be difficult
to get finished on time.
[Jannick] This is totally,
utterly useless.
Helle is also extremely upset.
- [Jannick] Is she, now?
- [Simone] Yes.
- Me as well.
- [Carsten] Did anyone check for spores?
- Spores?
- [Carsten] Fungal spores.
I'm detecting a very distinct smell
of mould or fungal spores.
- [tense music playing]
- Isn't that very dangerous?
[Carsten] I mean,
there are 50 different kinds.
Some are harmless.
- Okay.
- And some kill houses.
[Simone gasps]
[Carsten clears throat]
[clears throat] Yeah.
We will get it checked over
as soon as we can, um I
I guarantee it.
Yeah. And I can help you there.
I know an expert in that particular field.
- Yeah?
- Yes. Sponge-Bob.
Sponge Sponge-Bob?
[quietly] Yes.
Yes, I just wanted to say
Or that there's
Or that I forgot to say that there's
something I'd like to speak about.
You can give me a ring. Yes, bye.
"Yes, bye." [scoffs]
Oh God, oh God,
oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God.
Hi, it's me again.
Again, again. [chuckles]
- Um
- [gentle music playing]
The fact is that there's something
I'd really like to, uh uh tell you.
So if you're able to fit in time today,
so that I could
- Tell you
- Tell you what
What I want to tell you.
And I still have the same number
as I used to have.
Or else, you've got it here as well,
but at any rate, it's the same.
You used to know it,
so I thought maybe you still do. Um
Yeah. I'll hang up now.
Bye. [laughs nervously]
- Was it terrible?
- No. No, it was good.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- It was a good message.
- [huffs]
[Simone] Here you go. Have some coffee.
- Ow, fuck's sake!
- [gasps]
- [Nana] Fuck!
- Did it burn you?
[Nana] Fuck!
[cell phone ringing]
It's him.
- Take it!
- [Nana] How do I look?
- Take it!
- [Nana] Uh, yeah.
Hi, it's Nana.
Good God!
Hi. Hi, Mathias. Hi.
Uh no, I just forgot
to store your number.
No, I'm on a break outside,
in the open air, and the fact is,
I'm looking at ducks.
[energetic version of
"Anything for You" playing]
- [Nana sighs]
- Baby, I'll do anything ♪
[Nana] You've got a fish tank now?
I think we've had it some time, actually.
It's a long time since I was here.
[big band music playing on stereo]
Eight or nine years, I think.
- [bartender] Hmm?
- A long time. I was on a date.
- Yeah?
- Back then. Yep.
Is it also a date today, or?
- Yeah, as a matter of fact.
- [both chuckle]
In fact, it's the same date
as back then. [chuckles]
- Okay.
- Pretty crazy.
- [chuckles]
- Yeah. Is it dead?
- Uh I don't know. It was moving before.
- Maybe it's sad or something.
I don't know much about fish. I mean, uh
No, no. I haven't a clue either.
- [gasps]
- [bartender] Oh, are you okay?
[Nana, shakily] Yes, yes.
Yeah, I am. I am.
Um I really want to pay now.
- [bartender] Now?
- Ready to settle up.
- Yes. That's okay?
- Okay. Yeah.
- Someone got cold feet, huh?
- Yeah, more or less. Very good. Hmm?
- That's 180 kroner.
- [Nana] Here you go.
- [reader beeps]
- [Nana] Okay? Thanks.
Hi!
- [Mathias] Sorry I'm late.
- No, no, no, you're not.
- I just just literally came in, so
- Yeah, okay.
- You ordered some wine?
- Yeah. Is it too much? [laughs]
No, no. It's fine. It must be
at least three on a Wednesday. Why not?
- Why not? Hmm.
- Hmm.
Funny you picked you picked this place.
Yeah. It's nice here.
[Mathias] Yeah.
Mm. Excuse me. Cheers. Good to see you.
What's up? It sounded
It sounded important on the phone.
Um is something up?
Um
Yeah.
Well, it's there is something.
I'd like your view
To speak to you about as, um
I think it's about, uh uh
[inhales sharply]
buying, for me, an aquarium.
Yeah, I thought you know more
than me about about the fish, the sea.
Yeah. So you were the one to speak to.
Have you rung me three times
and left three messages
to ask me if I know about aquariums?
Well, no, it's quite important
with the environment
in such an aquarium,
so they can breed and, you know.
It's life-changing.
- It's the other sea creatures
- I work on a completely other scale.
- Yeah. That's it.
- Ocean currents, tides, tides and
A more sizeable scale, you mean?
- [Mathias] Yes. I would think so
- Yeah. I can see that.
I am particularly stressed,
arranging my parents' silver wedding.
- I thought something was wrong.
- [Nana] I see that.
So I can't help you there, okay?
Yeah.
- Yes, and now I have to go.
- [Nana] Yeah, of course.
- See you.
- [Nana] Mmm. See you.
Are you meeting someone?
Yeah, it's, um I'm meeting, um
my girlfriend.
- Oh, okay.
- [Mathias] Yeah.
She's helping me with
with, um table decorations.
[Nana] Mmm.
So, she's helping me arrange it all.
[Nana] Good for you.
Nice. She can do decorations
and can also handle paper.
Yeah, it's all good. I didn't feel
I didn't want to tell you
in the middle of the food
No, but you should have just said.
No worries. It's great for you.
Yeah. Yeah.
- It is great.
- [Nana, sadly] Good.
Well, how about you?
Are you seeing anyone?
- Am I?
- [Mathias] Yeah.
Yeah.
- Sorry. In terms of a boyfriend?
- [Mathias] Yeah.
No, I think No, there's, uh
Not, uh, uh Not that much, uh
- A new baby isn't a big hit on Tinder.
- [chuckles]
Funnily enough.
Yeah. I'm, uh
It was good seeing you anyway.
- See you.
- Yeah, see you. Thanks for coming.
- [Mathias] Good, yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
