1
00:01:41,083 --> 00:01:45,125
... the mechanisms
that control the motions of the planets

2
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:49,167
and how a satellite moves
between the planets...

3
00:01:52,917 --> 00:01:58,042
Nothing seems to be able to stop
the fixed link between Denmark and Germany.

4
00:01:58,167 --> 00:02:03,000
Archaeologists are securing artifacts
from the future factory site,

5
00:02:03,333 --> 00:02:06,167
and infrastructure projects
have already begun.

6
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:10,875
This pleases Lolland's mayor.
Welcome to the studio: Holger Schou Rasmussen.

7
00:02:11,583 --> 00:02:14,208
So what are you expecting to happen?

8
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:19,875
Well, that's a question of trade
between Scandinavia and Europe.

9
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,333
If you take a map
and make a 500 km circle around Lolland,

10
00:02:26,458 --> 00:02:30,500
you'll find one of the world's highest GDPs...

11
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:01,792
We've been waiting for it
for ten years now.

12
00:03:02,875 --> 00:03:05,958
I'd hoped I'd be able to use the tunnel,

13
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:09,750
but I doubt it'll be finished in my lifetime.

14
00:03:09,875 --> 00:03:11,583
Don't be so pessimistic.

15
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:15,458
So you like living in Berlin?
- Yes, it's my home now.

16
00:03:16,125 --> 00:03:20,417
But now I'm working
on Lolland for the summer.

17
00:03:20,792 --> 00:03:22,667
Because of the Tunnel?
- Yes.

18
00:03:23,458 --> 00:03:27,625
Yes, that project, but my work is
for the Lolland Falster county museum.

19
00:03:29,208 --> 00:03:31,875
Is it OK if I turn this on?
- Yes, it's OK.

20
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,125
To record what we're saying.
- Yes.

21
00:03:38,083 --> 00:03:40,125
Today is June 4, 2018.

22
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:43,292
This is Dara Holmer
from the Lolland Falster Museum

23
00:03:43,417 --> 00:03:46,958
together with Leif and Birte Nielsen
at 75 Runestenvej Road.

24
00:03:48,917 --> 00:03:51,667
Leif, could you tell me about the farm?

25
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,333
It's an old family farm.

26
00:03:54,458 --> 00:03:57,792
My grandfather bought it in 1927.

27
00:03:59,875 --> 00:04:01,667
Then my father bought it in '47.

28
00:04:01,792 --> 00:04:02,875
Thanks.

29
00:04:03,125 --> 00:04:06,417
Then we bought it in '75
when my father got old.

30
00:04:08,292 --> 00:04:11,042
We had hoped
it would stay in the family,

31
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:12,750
but now it won't.

32
00:04:13,667 --> 00:04:15,250
That's three generations.

33
00:04:15,375 --> 00:04:18,250
We'd hoped it go to the fourth and fifth.

34
00:04:18,375 --> 00:04:20,250
But that won't happen now.

35
00:04:20,583 --> 00:04:22,542
It's sad that it'll be

36
00:04:23,417 --> 00:04:26,375
covered in asphalt
and turned into a highway.

37
00:04:27,417 --> 00:04:29,667
So that is sad, but...

38
00:04:30,250 --> 00:04:32,542
that's progress, you can't stop it.

39
00:04:36,458 --> 00:04:40,708
I understand it must be tough
having to move away from this place.

40
00:04:40,833 --> 00:04:42,292
It is tough.

41
00:04:42,958 --> 00:04:45,625
Birte, how do you feel about leaving?

42
00:04:46,625 --> 00:04:48,708
Well, I don't feel too great.

43
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,208
Our boys were born
and raised on the farm.

44
00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:58,000
They built dens
and we made fires in the garden.

45
00:04:58,750 --> 00:05:03,375
They drew on the walls
and left their mark on their rooms.

46
00:05:05,167 --> 00:05:07,583
So I feel terrible about that.

47
00:05:09,458 --> 00:05:11,375
And then I think about...

48
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:24,792
When we...

49
00:05:30,375 --> 00:05:33,458
When I think about driving past this place,

50
00:05:34,583 --> 00:05:36,042
I can't.

51
00:05:38,583 --> 00:05:40,458
It's almost too much, Birte.

52
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,250
No, I think about

53
00:05:44,875 --> 00:05:47,667
when Leif and I will drive by and see

54
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:50,917
a construction site.

55
00:05:52,125 --> 00:05:53,833
I can hardly bear it.

56
00:06:09,417 --> 00:06:10,875
Very nice.

57
00:06:18,542 --> 00:06:19,542
Thanks.

58
00:06:45,917 --> 00:06:47,542
Where did you put the things?

59
00:06:47,667 --> 00:06:50,708
In the back of the car as usual.
Why?

60
00:06:50,833 --> 00:06:53,208
Andrzej is looking for his stuff.
- Again?

61
00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:55,167
He lost it or what?

62
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:03,083
Dude, there was a nice girl
at the bar the other night.

63
00:07:03,875 --> 00:07:06,083
Amazing. One of a kind.
- And?

64
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:07,792
Did you talk to her?
- Just small talk.

65
00:07:07,917 --> 00:07:09,792
Gentlemen, no more talk, get to work.

66
00:07:09,917 --> 00:07:11,292
OK, OK.

67
00:07:11,917 --> 00:07:13,375
Move it.

68
00:07:14,417 --> 00:07:16,250
Go, go, Piotrek. Move, move.

69
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,292
Give us the fiber cable.

70
00:07:21,125 --> 00:07:22,667
Mind your feet.

71
00:07:29,375 --> 00:07:31,708
Fuck, this wind is pissing me off.

72
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Lay the cable, gentlemen.

73
00:07:34,292 --> 00:07:35,917
Now fill the trench.

74
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:41,708
Andrzej, lay what you can, then fill in.

75
00:07:47,625 --> 00:07:50,042
Alright, Lucek,
start pulling the tape out.

76
00:07:50,167 --> 00:07:51,167
Alright.

77
00:07:51,292 --> 00:07:52,708
And forwards.

78
00:07:53,458 --> 00:07:55,292
He tangled it again.

79
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:58,042
It has to be straight
all the way to the box.

80
00:09:48,333 --> 00:09:49,500
Good evening.

81
00:09:51,250 --> 00:09:52,542
Good evening.

82
00:10:47,375 --> 00:10:50,125
I was pretty shocked
when the letter arrived.

83
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:55,167
We'd heard about plans for the tunnel,

84
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:58,708
but I didn't think it'd affect us.

85
00:11:00,208 --> 00:11:04,667
I don't even understand
why they want to build the tunnel.

86
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:10,208
The ferries have always worked fine.

87
00:11:11,917 --> 00:11:16,667
They say it'll create more jobs in the region,
but I don't know if I believe that.

88
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:19,917
But what do I know?

89
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,250
"January 12

90
00:15:48,667 --> 00:15:50,333
Peter came today.

91
00:15:51,417 --> 00:15:53,042
There was a blizzard.

92
00:15:53,167 --> 00:15:55,958
It took him five hours
to get here from Copenhagen.

93
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
He helped set up the bookshelves
in the living room.

94
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:06,542
There are still moving boxes everywhere.

95
00:16:10,125 --> 00:16:11,917
February 23

96
00:16:12,750 --> 00:16:14,958
Why did I move here alone?

97
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,625
March 5

98
00:16:24,583 --> 00:16:26,125
Gorm came by.

99
00:16:26,625 --> 00:16:28,417
I made us dinner.

100
00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:32,375
The scent of fried onions and tomatoes
hangs in the kitchen.

101
00:16:37,333 --> 00:16:39,083
He didn't stay.

102
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:43,250
I need plans for the garden.

103
00:16:47,292 --> 00:16:49,792
The sun comes right into the living room now.

104
00:17:00,917 --> 00:17:05,083
No, no, I'm not distant.
I'm just tired. It's fine.

105
00:17:06,333 --> 00:17:08,833
But, hey...
- Yes.

106
00:17:08,958 --> 00:17:13,417
... he's finally going.
I just hope the doctors can convince him.

107
00:17:14,583 --> 00:17:19,083
And I talked to your brother. They're coming
next week. I'm taking care of Marius.

108
00:17:20,042 --> 00:17:22,875
How nice.- They're going hiking with Stine.

109
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:26,750
Great. I'm just grabbing some wine.
Keep talking. I'll hear you.

110
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,042
They're talking about buying a house.

111
00:17:32,417 --> 00:17:35,917
Imagine, they want to buy in Sandvike!
Close to Oslo.

112
00:17:36,167 --> 00:17:38,167
Why not in Oslo?

113
00:17:39,208 --> 00:17:40,542
Well, I'd say...

114
00:17:40,667 --> 00:17:44,667
They say they want
to reduce Stine's commute.

115
00:17:45,667 --> 00:17:49,000
I don't know, my dear...

116
00:17:52,042 --> 00:17:53,792
I'll show you the garden

117
00:17:54,708 --> 00:17:56,125
See?

118
00:17:58,042 --> 00:18:00,000
It's been so dry this year,

119
00:18:00,417 --> 00:18:03,542
but they've done just fantastically.

120
00:18:03,917 --> 00:18:07,750
And look, here are the green squash.

121
00:18:09,292 --> 00:18:11,792
So pretty.
They're fantastic.

122
00:18:13,333 --> 00:18:14,750
I do my best.

123
00:18:15,333 --> 00:18:19,125
So now I'm entering the greenhouse.

124
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:22,458
Tomatoes. Look at these.

125
00:19:45,625 --> 00:19:47,917
Are they playing again today?
- What do you mean "again?"

126
00:19:48,042 --> 00:19:50,208
Fuck, they'll lose for sure.

127
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:54,458
I'm telling you. Fuck.

128
00:19:54,583 --> 00:19:56,500
We'll do it today.
- Do it! How?

129
00:19:56,667 --> 00:19:58,917
Where did you put the beers?
- In the fridge.

130
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:00,417
Wait, I'll check.

131
00:20:00,542 --> 00:20:05,292
They're cold.
You're grumbling like an old woman.

132
00:20:05,417 --> 00:20:08,375
They were warm last time.
- How long ago was that?

133
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:11,375
Zorro, where did you put the powder?
- Here, wait.

134
00:20:14,208 --> 00:20:16,333
Don't use too much.

135
00:20:17,375 --> 00:20:18,667
It's expensive.

136
00:20:19,917 --> 00:20:21,833
Whose turn is it today?

137
00:20:24,125 --> 00:20:29,333
Przemek.
- He was supposed to get us chips and beer.

138
00:20:29,458 --> 00:20:31,167
A few more days.

139
00:20:31,292 --> 00:20:37,417
We're finishing off one section,
then I'll be back for four or five days.

140
00:20:38,125 --> 00:20:39,542
As always.

141
00:20:40,375 --> 00:20:43,583
But I'm still looking
for a house for us.

142
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:48,417
One already caught my eye.

143
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:53,708
Yeah, I'll send it over later.
Or do you want it now?

144
00:20:54,042 --> 00:20:56,458
Only then can they come with it.

145
00:20:57,833 --> 00:21:00,375
With the asphalt and all that.

146
00:21:01,292 --> 00:21:04,417
No one can get through until we finish.

147
00:21:05,625 --> 00:21:10,500
It was kind of that lady to make us pancakes.
- Damn, they were good.

148
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:13,083
And that jam!

149
00:21:13,208 --> 00:21:18,083
Damn, I thought you only get pancakes
like that in Poland. She was talented.

150
00:21:18,208 --> 00:21:22,583
And she didn't have to.
- No. Maybe she has Polish roots.

151
00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:27,500
Or she learned how
because she's got a Polish husband.

152
00:21:28,708 --> 00:21:30,875
Who knows, I didn't see a man.

153
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,042
Maybe she finished him off.

154
00:21:34,292 --> 00:21:36,917
Could be, she was quite a woman.

155
00:22:28,333 --> 00:22:31,708
So we're dealing with 800 acres.

156
00:22:31,917 --> 00:22:36,167
Why do new stones turn up every year?

157
00:22:36,333 --> 00:22:39,500
Well, it's unbelievable.
As you can see,

158
00:22:39,625 --> 00:22:42,000
Benny and Bjarne collect stones.

159
00:22:42,375 --> 00:22:44,083
Every year.

160
00:22:44,208 --> 00:22:46,417
And we wonder where they come from.

161
00:22:46,750 --> 00:22:48,667
There are various theories.

162
00:22:49,292 --> 00:22:53,500
One is that it could be the frost.

163
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,708
The frost freezes the earth in the winter
and pushes the stones up through it.

164
00:23:00,833 --> 00:23:03,375
That's one theory.
Another theory is that

165
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,167
it's the rotation of the Earth
that propels them out, the stones.

166
00:23:08,292 --> 00:23:10,375
Which is wild.

167
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,167
I don't believe any of them.

168
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,708
But somehow or other,
the stones surface.

169
00:23:19,875 --> 00:23:22,333
You're the owner of 8 Fælledvej Road.

170
00:23:23,167 --> 00:23:25,875
I'm here about the demolition of the house.

171
00:23:26,625 --> 00:23:30,542
I've discovered that
private belongings are still there.

172
00:23:32,167 --> 00:23:34,917
I bought the property from the municipality

173
00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:38,583
to cultivate the land.

174
00:23:39,042 --> 00:23:41,458
I had no interest in the buildings.

175
00:23:42,042 --> 00:23:44,833
I knew there were things there,

176
00:23:45,417 --> 00:23:46,667
but I never...

177
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:49,500
I had no use for them, so I just left them.

178
00:23:52,417 --> 00:23:55,583
I don't think anyone misses that stuff.

179
00:23:55,708 --> 00:23:58,792
No family members have come to...?

180
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,167
No.

181
00:24:03,417 --> 00:24:06,167
Did you know Agnes Sørensen?

182
00:24:06,875 --> 00:24:08,625
Agnes Sørensen...

183
00:24:08,958 --> 00:24:11,833
It doesn't ring a bell, no.

184
00:24:48,708 --> 00:24:51,000
When are you going to Poland?
- What?

185
00:24:51,125 --> 00:24:52,542
When are you going?

186
00:24:54,833 --> 00:24:56,583
In two or three weeks.

187
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,208
Or thereabouts. We'll see.

188
00:25:00,625 --> 00:25:01,875
To Warsaw?

189
00:25:02,583 --> 00:25:04,000
Yeah, that too.

190
00:25:04,583 --> 00:25:06,042
I'll say hi.

191
00:25:06,583 --> 00:25:08,000
For a day or two?

192
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:10,417
For a day or two...

193
00:25:11,708 --> 00:25:12,708
Maybe longer.

194
00:25:53,917 --> 00:25:55,333
Nice weather.

195
00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:09,958
Look, another flint. Nice.

196
00:27:10,458 --> 00:27:12,500
It needs its own bag.

197
00:27:26,042 --> 00:27:28,000
This one is untouched.

198
00:27:30,458 --> 00:27:31,958
Thanks, have a nice weekend.

199
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:02,833
"April 23

200
00:29:04,708 --> 00:29:06,875
The first swallows have returned.

201
00:29:08,125 --> 00:29:10,000
They call out from under the awnings.

202
00:29:11,375 --> 00:29:13,750
I've hung Grandma's painting
in the living room.

203
00:29:18,917 --> 00:29:20,625
Work is better.

204
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,667
May 16

205
00:29:27,792 --> 00:29:29,375
Lis is here.

206
00:29:30,833 --> 00:29:33,375
Haven't laughed so much for weeks.

207
00:29:34,417 --> 00:29:36,625
What would I do without her?

208
00:29:40,833 --> 00:29:42,500
June 12

209
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,833
Gorm slept here last night.

210
00:29:47,417 --> 00:29:49,583
I can still feel his hands.

211
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:53,583
Everywhere.

INGE ERIKSEN, RØDBYHAVN
FEAST OF SAINT GEORGE

215
00:35:54,583 --> 00:35:56,917
LIS ENGDAL
MANAGER OF NURSING HOME

216
00:35:58,583 --> 00:36:01,917
How's it going? Are you finding
what you want or can we help you?

217
00:36:02,042 --> 00:36:06,500
No, well,
I'm looking for a certain Agnes Sørensen.

218
00:36:07,625 --> 00:36:13,833
She lived in the Rødbyhavn area in the 60s.

219
00:36:14,667 --> 00:36:16,125
Until now.

220
00:36:17,667 --> 00:36:20,250
Maybe you knew her.
She was a librarian.

221
00:36:20,833 --> 00:36:22,583
It doesn't ring a bell.

222
00:36:23,333 --> 00:36:25,542
So that must be Agnes' farm.

223
00:36:25,792 --> 00:36:29,083
Sure, I guess you'd know best.

224
00:36:30,375 --> 00:36:32,667
You've been out there, of course?
- Yes.

225
00:36:32,792 --> 00:36:36,667
Have you tried peeling off the wallpaper?
- No.

226
00:36:37,333 --> 00:36:40,458
If you peel some off,
you might discover something interesting.

227
00:36:40,917 --> 00:36:45,667
You'll see the high water mark on the wall
where the flood reached to.

228
00:36:45,792 --> 00:36:49,750
It'll be about a meter above the floor.

229
00:36:50,167 --> 00:36:52,750
I'll try that.
- Check it next time.

230
00:36:54,292 --> 00:36:58,083
Do you have a land register
or other information about this farm?

231
00:36:59,458 --> 00:37:04,792
I think I have the land register.
It's small, so there's probably not much.

232
00:37:04,917 --> 00:37:07,750
But I'll take a look. One moment.
- OK, thanks.

233
00:37:17,958 --> 00:37:19,625
She was fascinating.

234
00:37:20,708 --> 00:37:23,083
Sorry?
- Agnes Sørensen.

235
00:37:24,708 --> 00:37:26,667
You knew Agnes Sørensen?

236
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:34,833
She took part in our nightingale tours
in Hoby for many years.

237
00:37:36,208 --> 00:37:38,958
Agnes Sørensen from Fælledvej?

238
00:37:40,583 --> 00:37:42,708
And it was peculiar because

239
00:37:43,042 --> 00:37:45,333
it was the locals who joined the bird tours.

240
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:49,583
And she came all the way
from the other side of Rødby Fjord.

241
00:37:50,875 --> 00:37:53,917
Back then,
Rødby Fjord still divided those

242
00:37:54,042 --> 00:37:58,167
who lived on the west side
from those on the east.

243
00:37:59,208 --> 00:38:03,000
So did you get to know her?

244
00:38:03,333 --> 00:38:07,375
Well, we talked. She was very talkative.

245
00:38:07,667 --> 00:38:11,792
She joined us for coffee
after our bird-watching trip.

246
00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:14,458
And then we talked.

247
00:38:14,958 --> 00:38:16,750
But that was long ago.

248
00:38:17,708 --> 00:38:20,667
Yes, but she came, a fine lady,

249
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:23,958
with binoculars and rubber boots.

250
00:38:24,083 --> 00:38:27,625
She was a librarian in the Rødbyhavn area

251
00:38:27,792 --> 00:38:30,542
and proved to be an expert on culture.

252
00:38:31,583 --> 00:38:34,583
But you never went to her house?
- No, never.

253
00:39:01,125 --> 00:39:02,792
"June 23

254
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,083
Einar and Kirsten are visiting.

255
00:39:06,792 --> 00:39:08,583
Have two weeks off.

256
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:11,750
We work together in the garden.

257
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:14,875
Have drinks in the evening on the terrace.

258
00:39:27,875 --> 00:39:30,167
The sea has broken through the dikes.

259
00:39:31,292 --> 00:39:32,750
I can't move,

260
00:39:32,875 --> 00:39:35,167
I'm nailed down to the dining table.

261
00:39:37,833 --> 00:39:40,042
The water flows into the living rooms,

262
00:39:40,167 --> 00:39:41,750
foaming.

263
00:39:42,208 --> 00:39:44,458
It takes everything in its path:

264
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:48,375
my books,

265
00:39:49,125 --> 00:39:50,833
my pictures,

266
00:39:52,833 --> 00:39:54,333
me...

267
00:44:00,875 --> 00:44:03,000
So let's start, gentlemen.

268
00:44:15,333 --> 00:44:20,125
What do we do?
They'll cheat us out of our money.

269
00:44:20,292 --> 00:44:23,583
If you talk to someone,
could you fix it?

270
00:44:23,708 --> 00:44:27,167
Listen, we'll contact you.
I have your numbers.

271
00:44:27,708 --> 00:44:30,167
Or we'll come to the site.

272
00:44:30,292 --> 00:44:34,083
So maybe it could work out.
That would be good.

273
00:44:34,208 --> 00:44:37,458
We'll be in contact.
- Do your best, please.

274
00:44:37,583 --> 00:44:40,250
I'll do what I can.
- Thanks and see you.

275
00:44:51,583 --> 00:44:54,042
I wonder what those madmen came up with.

276
00:45:01,125 --> 00:45:02,625
Who was that lady?

277
00:45:03,042 --> 00:45:04,750
From the union.

278
00:45:05,292 --> 00:45:06,917
What did she say?

279
00:45:07,167 --> 00:45:12,250
She'll talk to someone from our department,
and they'll try to fix it.

280
00:45:12,375 --> 00:45:15,292
What about the cash?
- We don't know yet.

281
00:45:16,500 --> 00:45:19,000
Should we keep working or not?

282
00:45:19,458 --> 00:45:21,625
We have to work.
- "We have to?"

283
00:45:21,750 --> 00:45:23,792
Excuse me?
- If there's no money?

284
00:45:23,917 --> 00:45:26,000
For two to three weeks.
- "Have to," "have to!"

285
00:45:26,125 --> 00:45:29,042
I'm not digging, Zorro.
- What do you mean you're not digging?

286
00:45:29,458 --> 00:45:32,125
What the fuck? I'm the boss here.

287
00:45:32,250 --> 00:45:34,250
No money, no digging.

288
00:45:34,667 --> 00:45:38,833
We work, that's it.
- You work, I'm going home.

289
00:45:39,542 --> 00:45:42,542
We're working and that's it.
- Not me!

290
00:45:43,417 --> 00:45:45,042
Don't let it go out, Mariusz.

291
00:45:45,167 --> 00:45:47,667
No, it won't.
You have to fan it.

292
00:45:47,917 --> 00:45:49,167
Exactly.

293
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:54,292
Did it dry out your mouth?

294
00:45:56,542 --> 00:46:00,875
It did not! I'll put it on the side.
- Did you dry out, Piotrus?

295
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,250
No.

296
00:46:02,958 --> 00:46:04,667
Don't fan, it's enough.

297
00:46:04,833 --> 00:46:07,083
You sure? Because I'm not.

298
00:46:07,208 --> 00:46:10,083
So guys, a round, huh?

299
00:46:11,250 --> 00:46:12,833
Cheers.
- As a starter.

300
00:46:13,208 --> 00:46:15,042
Here's to safety at the site.

301
00:46:15,167 --> 00:46:17,708
To Przemek.
So he grows up well.

302
00:46:20,208 --> 00:46:21,458
To good health.

303
00:46:24,667 --> 00:46:27,875
And the colonel was standing to attention
at the garrison.

304
00:46:28,625 --> 00:46:31,583
Przemek and I missed things like that.

305
00:46:31,708 --> 00:46:36,417
I'm telling you:
I lost two years of my life like that.

306
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:41,042
Later on, they say, if you were in the army,

307
00:46:41,667 --> 00:46:44,500
you came out a man,
you'd learned something.

308
00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:47,333
Some of us learned to smoke there.
That's all.

309
00:46:47,583 --> 00:46:50,625
And how to be insolent and so on.

310
00:46:50,750 --> 00:46:53,458
I dug it out of the trench.

311
00:46:53,583 --> 00:46:56,583
A saber. It goes on a rifle.

312
00:46:56,708 --> 00:46:59,000
It's a bayonet.

313
00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:02,125
You need to clean it properly.

314
00:47:02,667 --> 00:47:05,167
Soak it in Coca Cola.
- There isn't any.

315
00:47:06,292 --> 00:47:10,208
Just like that,
you could take it from a guy's yard.

316
00:47:10,333 --> 00:47:14,208
And I said fuck,
that's what you can get from this land?

317
00:47:14,333 --> 00:47:19,292
You just wanted to fill it in?
- I thought it was a silver spoon.

318
00:47:19,417 --> 00:47:21,875
Fuck, a silver spoon!

319
00:47:22,083 --> 00:47:24,583
This wasn't the first one.
The other was first.

320
00:47:25,625 --> 00:47:31,792
I was moving past, thinking:
It really is a silver spoon.

321
00:47:32,667 --> 00:47:36,167
What the fuck, a silver spoon!
I jumped out of the digger

322
00:47:36,625 --> 00:47:38,167
and tried to pull it out.

323
00:47:38,292 --> 00:47:40,750
I said, what the fuck is it?
A fucking sword!

324
00:47:40,875 --> 00:47:43,667
You thought you'd pinned the silver spoon down
with the digger!

325
00:47:45,875 --> 00:47:48,125
I didn't see how fast the digger was.

326
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:51,750
I'm going over to the digger,
I thought I'd be watching it.

327
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,292
Then I packed it in the digger.

328
00:48:04,167 --> 00:48:08,292
How was it when you first came here?

329
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
In the very beginning?

330
00:48:13,542 --> 00:48:14,958
It was tough.

331
00:48:15,667 --> 00:48:18,292
Making the decision
to come here was tough.

332
00:48:18,583 --> 00:48:23,167
I made the decision with my wife
because our daughter had begun to study.

333
00:48:24,667 --> 00:48:28,458
We'd bought a house,
invested money in it,

334
00:48:30,083 --> 00:48:35,125
and unfortunately,
with Polish wages it's unrealistic

335
00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:39,792
to keep such a home
and educate your children at the same time.

336
00:48:40,583 --> 00:48:45,042
As soon as one child finishes studying,
the next one begins.

337
00:48:45,208 --> 00:48:49,000
And it's like that to this day.

338
00:48:49,417 --> 00:48:52,958
I came here in 2007...

339
00:48:54,458 --> 00:48:57,083
I think it was July or August.

340
00:48:57,917 --> 00:49:00,542
It's going to be eleven years now.

341
00:49:01,542 --> 00:49:06,333
I was thinking, if everything goes well,
I'll bring my wife here.

342
00:49:06,958 --> 00:49:10,292
They'll all come eventually.
But that'll take some time.

343
00:49:10,917 --> 00:49:14,417
Our youngest son needs to finish school,

344
00:49:15,125 --> 00:49:17,167
but then we'll buy something here,

345
00:49:17,542 --> 00:49:20,000
and I'll bring my whole family over.

346
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:23,083
I think,
then everything will be OK, you know?

347
00:49:23,292 --> 00:49:26,250
There won't be that longing anymore, you know?

348
00:49:26,667 --> 00:49:28,458
That's all, I guess.

349
00:49:29,333 --> 00:49:31,708
Well, that's obvious, you know:

350
00:49:31,833 --> 00:49:37,500
Three children, a wife,
it was a serious matter.

351
00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:41,417
And my wife was still working back home.

352
00:49:41,750 --> 00:49:46,917
But in the end we agreed
that if we wanted to improve our lives,

353
00:49:47,583 --> 00:49:51,083
then I'd have to do something like this,

354
00:49:52,083 --> 00:49:55,417
change my line of work and country.

355
00:49:55,625 --> 00:49:57,625
This separation is tough.

356
00:49:58,042 --> 00:50:00,833
We'd been together all our lives.

357
00:50:02,375 --> 00:50:05,542
But it all comes down
to taking care of one's family.

358
00:50:25,667 --> 00:50:27,958
I think they imported it from Italy.

359
00:55:40,542 --> 00:55:42,417
Unfortunately, we can't help you.

360
00:55:44,958 --> 00:55:46,958
It's a third or fourth subcontractor.

361
00:55:49,917 --> 00:55:52,417
And... what should we do now?

362
00:55:54,042 --> 00:55:58,583
It's hard. There's no union agreement,
so it'll have to be a civil lawsuit.

363
00:56:06,083 --> 00:56:08,750
And how long will such a case take?

364
00:56:10,417 --> 00:56:12,667
Between 12 and 18 months.

365
00:56:14,417 --> 00:56:17,000
Fucking great. You hear?
About a year.

366
00:56:17,125 --> 00:56:20,125
And what are we to do about it now?

367
00:56:20,250 --> 00:56:21,917
What can we do now?

368
00:56:22,042 --> 00:56:26,042
Send us your payslips and contracts
and we'll do our best to solve it.

369
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,250
And if we send them,
will you be able to help us,

370
00:56:38,375 --> 00:56:41,458
or should we just say goodbye to the money?

371
00:56:48,958 --> 00:56:52,875
We'll do our best, but I suggest you go home.
It could take a while.

372
00:56:56,042 --> 00:56:59,917
So let's say thank you and go home, gentlemen.
There's no point in staying.

373
00:57:02,750 --> 00:57:04,292
Sorry I can't help you.

374
00:57:05,417 --> 00:57:07,500
There's nothing we can do about it.

375
00:57:07,625 --> 00:57:10,125
We're going home. Period.
Thanks for your help and...

376
00:57:10,375 --> 00:57:12,292
we're leaving.

377
00:57:13,833 --> 00:57:15,292
This is bullshit.

378
00:57:15,792 --> 00:57:18,417
Nothing will come of this.
We're going back to Poland.

379
00:57:19,792 --> 00:57:22,250
We're getting the fuck out of here
and that's it.

380
00:58:33,917 --> 00:58:35,792
What did you think of Claudia?

381
00:59:29,583 --> 00:59:33,333
All of a sudden,
she realizes he doesn't understand her.

382
00:59:34,333 --> 00:59:35,958
And never will.

383
00:59:37,375 --> 00:59:40,667
Because he'll never make
all the detours he'd have to

384
00:59:40,792 --> 00:59:42,625
to catch up with her.

385
01:00:23,375 --> 01:00:26,167
He becomes aware
that he knows nothing about her.

386
01:00:30,958 --> 01:00:32,625
Neither her name,

387
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:36,917
nor her address,

388
01:00:38,292 --> 01:00:41,125
nor what she's doing
in the town where she found him.

389
01:00:43,125 --> 01:00:46,042
She said it's too late to know anything.

390
01:00:47,667 --> 01:00:49,667
Knowing and not knowing

391
01:00:50,083 --> 01:00:51,917
would be the same.

392
01:00:52,917 --> 01:00:54,375
She says,

393
01:00:54,500 --> 01:00:56,250
I'm like you now.

394
01:00:59,708 --> 01:01:01,625
She says, I'm like you now.

395
01:01:02,417 --> 01:01:05,500
Having emerged from a long,
mysterious wait,

396
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:07,917
a form of suffering,

397
01:01:08,167 --> 01:01:10,667
the cause of which I do not know.

398
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:58,542
I'm Balder. Shall we...? Anne...

399
01:02:00,083 --> 01:02:01,917
Shall we roll the dice?

400
01:02:03,458 --> 01:02:06,375
Kjeld, can we roll the dice?
- Alright.

401
01:02:06,708 --> 01:02:08,833
You don't sound so sure...

402
01:02:10,667 --> 01:02:12,167
Do you know Mayer?

403
01:02:41,958 --> 01:02:43,500
He's really cute.

404
01:11:00,250 --> 01:11:01,583
"Peter called.

405
01:11:04,667 --> 01:11:06,875
We have no more to say to each other.

406
01:11:15,708 --> 01:11:17,500
July 22.

407
01:11:21,625 --> 01:11:23,208
I get up,

408
01:11:24,500 --> 01:11:26,458
put water on the stove,

409
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,083
open the garden door...

410
01:11:33,792 --> 01:11:35,667
I know the sounds,

411
01:11:35,958 --> 01:11:37,833
I know the scents,

412
01:11:38,542 --> 01:11:41,875
know the feel of
the floorboards under my feet.

413
01:11:44,667 --> 01:11:46,292
August 5

414
01:11:47,083 --> 01:11:49,708
Met Madsen on my usual route.

415
01:11:50,542 --> 01:11:52,792
They're harvesting early this year.

416
01:11:54,208 --> 01:11:56,500
It's my sixth summer down here.

417
01:11:59,417 --> 01:12:01,042
October 28

418
01:12:04,875 --> 01:12:06,708
The door is open.

419
01:12:08,667 --> 01:12:10,750
A quiet rain falls.

420
01:13:04,542 --> 01:13:06,625
That was in 2006.

421
01:13:07,833 --> 01:13:11,208
And how has it been living here?
- We've been very happy.

422
01:13:16,125 --> 01:13:20,417
Can you tell me more about the house?
- Yes, the previous owners added the dormer.

423
01:13:20,708 --> 01:13:26,000
The original building was a timber frame house
from the 1880s or 90s.

424
01:13:26,667 --> 01:13:30,792
But it was changed into a brick house
and the dormer was added.

425
01:13:31,458 --> 01:13:34,167
We've continuously modernized the interior.

426
01:13:35,292 --> 01:13:38,000
And then there's this nice park.
- Yes.

427
01:13:38,375 --> 01:13:40,083
A little park.

428
01:13:42,417 --> 01:13:44,000
How do you feel about moving?

429
01:13:45,542 --> 01:13:47,458
We're actually OK with it.

430
01:13:48,167 --> 01:13:51,125
We've talked about moving for a while,

431
01:13:51,417 --> 01:13:54,250
so this was a blessing in disguise.

432
01:15:24,875 --> 01:15:26,542
Cheers.
- Cheers.

433
01:15:35,708 --> 01:15:37,583
What's wrong?
- It's just...

434
01:15:39,417 --> 01:15:41,292
What are we doing here?

435
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:47,042
I've no idea.
Let's dance, come on!

436
01:15:49,667 --> 01:15:52,250
Oh, there you are!
- Yes, here we are.

437
01:15:52,375 --> 01:15:54,625
Finally on the dance floor!

438
01:15:55,375 --> 01:15:56,958
It's the music's fault.
