SEVEN MISSED CALLS
ARE YOU EVEN ON THAT PLANE?
I'M ALRIGHT. SORRY
[driver] There.
Uh, you go the rest of the way.
[unsettling music continues]
Can I help you?
Uh, yes. Sorry, I'm, um...
I'm looking for this address?
-Is this it? -Mm-hm.
Yeah. I'm, uh, looking for, um...
Astrid?
Don't you recognize me?
Amelia?
[theme music]
[Dennis] And the little bird always flew by her side.
They were best friends.
But one year known as...
-The Year of the Hare. -Yes.
Then everything changed.
When the goddess of spring, Ostara, and her bird returned as usual,
an entire drove of hares met them in the meadow.
And one of the hares was bigger and more powerful than all the others.
-[young Amelia] The Hare King. -[Dennis] And he looked at the bird,
and he fell so madly in love that he was beside himself.
And he danced and danced all night long.
When the night was over, and Ostara had to go,
the bird didn't want to come.
-[knocking on door] -[man] It's almost time.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
We'll just hurry up.
The bird stayed with the Hare King. Ostara went home alone and unhappy.
But when she came back again the next spring,
the meadow was filled with a whole bunch of little eggs, and one egg hatched.
[cracks]
And then the cutest little Easter bunny hopped on over to her,
filling her with joy.
And since that day, it's been the bunny who brought the Easter eggs.
The night goes by quickly, right, sweetheart?
I'll be back tomorrow morning.
-Good night. -Good night.
I'll be back.
-How many times have you been here? -This is my first.
You'll get used to it.
I'm going home soon.
That's what they told me. It's my seventh time.
But I'm not coming back. I'm not sick.
My mom says I'm special.
Yeah. We're especially crazy.
You might be, but I'm not.
Then why are you here?
-Would you mind taking her bags, please? -Thank you.
It's good timing that you came now.
I've just finished 60 days of silence.
It's beautiful, right?
[man 2] Cybele, peace.
Cybele? Why did he call you Cybele?
Because that's my name.
What about Amelia?
I cast her off. She's no longer here.
She was a troubled soul.
The only one she loved was Ida.
But it wasn't good for her.
She both wanted Ida and wanted to be Ida.
So when Ida disappeared, there was nothing left.
So I left, and I buried her.
And now, there's Cybele.
And Cybele is in the present, and Cybele is light.
I'm looking for the place where Jakob died.
Did it happen here?
Yeah.
Just like Amelia, he chose this place to put an end to his life.
[mysterious wind]
[mysterious voice] Astrid.
[unsettling music playing]
[indistinct mysterious voices]
Astrid, are you coming?
Yeah.
[unsettling music continues]
[distant drumming]
[drumming stops]
[Ida] Hey.
Jakob?
[gentle piano music playing]
[Amelia] You're so right. You're such a good girl.
[girl] You all know I'm Daddy's girl.
-[breathes nervously] -[girl] Is that me?
[Amelia] No, that's not you.
[girls giggle]
That's me as a man.
-Hey. -[Ida] Why are you sitting here?
Do we have assigned seats?
-We have assigned seats? -[girl] Don't think so.
[Amelia] No, didn't think so.
No, but we usually sit together.
-[Henrik] Good morning. Find your seats. -[Amelia] Seriously.
[Henrik] I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
Open your books page 73. Should be chapter four.
Let's get started.
Pantheism. What does that mean?
Greek. "Pan" means all. "Theos" means god.
"Pantheism." God is all. All is god.
[voice fades] The universe. Nature. You and me. This piece of chalk. All.
[Jakob tunes guitar]
Hey.
Are we okay or...
Are you mad at me?
[sighs]
Please say something.
-You have to say something. -I don't have to do anything.
But...
-you're the one that... -[Jakob] That what?
What did I do, exactly?
But you said it's you and me.
Ready to go, Falke?
-[strums guitar] -[Falke] Yeah. Yes.
-[Falke taps beat on drumsticks] -[Jakob and Falke play rock song]
[Jakob and Falke's music fades]
[melancholy music playing]
Jakob called me just before he died.
I think it was from here.
-I didn't know you had contact. -Well, we didn't really.
He was very incoherent and...
Yeah, sounded really out of it.
He said that he saw something, right before Ida disappeared.
Something about a book.
Then he sent me this page, which I got after he died.
Is this something you know about?
Do you have any idea where it comes from?
No.
How was he?
Was he scared, or...
Jabok never really got over what happened.
Follow me.
Jakob had convinced himself that he would die on a specific day.
He died on the date he had tattooed on his arm
when he was 18.
December 22nd.
Darkest day of the year.
[Amelia rings bell]
We ring the bell when the sun sets.
In gratitude of the light it's given us.
Why is your place called Marrakech?
Marrakech was my and Ida's dream.
When Ida disappeared, I...
I went there alone.
But Marrakech wasn't quite what we thought.
So I had to build this instead.
[man 2] Cybele, they await you.
It's our evening prayer.
-Won't you come join us? -Hm.
-Come when you're ready. -Thanks.
[unsettling music playing]
[music intensifies]
[mysterious voices echo]
[breathes heavily]
-[knocking on door] -[man] Astrid, it's dinnertime.
Just a minute.
[boy] What you're doing is dangerous. I've seen you.
The medicine helps you.
Don't you want it to go away?
I'm looking for my sister.
She's trapped in a cave and they say if I take the pills,
I can't go into the cave anymore.
And I'm the only one who can bring her home.
But it's not real. The grown-ups said.
-Can you see me? -Yes.
-And I'm real? -Yeah.
Then how do you know our visions aren't real?
I don't have visions. I hear voices.
What do they tell you?
I ignore them.
Maybe they want to tell you something.
Like the cave showing the way to my sister.
Maybe the voices are trying to help you.
-[man] Are you done eating? -Mm-hm.
[man] Then take your plate to the kitchen.
It's story time in a minute.
Aren't you scared?
Yes, very scared.
-[man] Astrid? -Mm-hm?
-[man] Are you okay? -Mm.
[man] Come on. They're about to start.
[boy] You can just knock on the wall.
I did that with the boy that lived in the room before you.
Two knocks means "OK."
[man] There you go.
All right.
Would you like the light on? Okay.
Sleep well.
[boy knocks twice]
[breathes uneasily]
[mysterious voice] Astrid.
[young Astrid] Ida?
[exhales]
[mysterious voices whispering]
[mysterious voice] Astrid.
[uneasy music swells]
[woman screams]
What are you doing here?
-[woman shouts] -You shouldn't be here.
[woman cries out]
[woman moans]
[woman shrieks]
[man 2] Cybele, look at me. Look at me. Look at me.
[Amelia shrieks]
[Amelia groans]
[man 2] Now stop. Stop.
[Amelia screams]
[screaming and music stop suddenly]
-[crashing sound] -[glass shatters]
[indistinct talking]
[eerie music playing]
[breathes quickly]
[mysterious voices whisper]
[boy] I'm not sick.
[echoes] I'm not sick.
[alarm clock blares distantly]
[alarm clock blaring]
[blaring stops]
[young Astrid] Aren't you going to go to school anymore?
Astrid, leave her alone. Get out.
You just stay in bed, okay, sweetie?
Do you need anything?
-Just leave me alone. -Yeah. Okay.
Sure.
-[Dennis] Did you let her stay in bed? -[Lene] She's sick.
[Dennis] She's been sick for three weeks? Doesn't she need to see a doctor?
[Lene] Uh, come on.
[Dennis] This is serious. She'll end up failing.
[Lene] Then she'll do the make-up exams. No harm done.
[Dennis] Ida? Ida? You have to get up now.
-[Lene] Leave her alone. -[Dennis] No. I won't.
We've all been heartbroken, right?
but staying in bed all the time doesn't help.
[Lene] You just don't get it.
[Ida vomits]
[Lene] It's mint.
It helps.
Oh, poor you.
How long have you been throwing up?
A few days.
Are you pregnant?
[sniffs]
-I don't know what to do. -Don't you worry.
-[Ida sniffles] -I'll help you.
We will get through this.
-I was gonna go to Marrakech. -And you will. Listen...
You'll go.
-Can't I just get rid of it? -Well, that's an option,
but I really don't think you should.
I really think you're going to regret that.
I once received the greatest gift.
And do you know what it was?
You.
It'll be okay.
[uneasy music playing]
[mysterious voices whisper]
[echoing voice] Astrid.
Astrid.
[uplifting music]
[music darkens]
[voices whisper]
[breathing heavily]
I need it back. Falke, give me that Grimoire right now!
Oops!
[Mathias] There was something different about him.
He seemed more resolved.
All he said was that he'd finally found what he'd been looking for all this time.
JAKOB SKIPPER
What is it about this book? What does it say?
You said you didn't recognize the page.
What are you not telling me, huh?
Answer me!
Okay.
Everything that's in that book came true.
Nothing is random.
Not even that Falke, Jakob, and I remained.
I don't understand.
What does this page mean? Why did Jakob send it to me?
-He wanted to warn you. -About what?
The equinox repeats itself every 21 years.
And that's now. This year.
It's gonna happen again.
Ida was Ostara and disappeared.
Jakob thought you were next. Ostara runs in the blood, it says.
But he didn't know.
-He didn't know you weren't sisters. -But we are sisters.
You didn't know?
-God, I'm so sorry. -What do you mean?
Ask your mom.
She knows more than I do.
[intense music]
[door opens]
[girl panting rapidly]
[boy grunting]
[Henrik] Hey, Ida?
Are you okay?
Ida?
Ida? What are you doing here?
-Do you live around here? -No.
Where are you going?
I just need to...
get away.
Before you go away,
won't you come in, dry off, have a cup of coffee?
We live around the corner.
Just talk.
Come on.
Sorry, I didn't count on having guests today.
It's Lisa's. She reads the strangest things.
There you go.
-Thanks. -What is it you want to get away from?
I don't really have a reason to stay.
There's always a reason to stay.
Family, school,
your friends.
I don't have any.
Okay. Yeah, I feel the same way sometimes.
Everything I thought was true isn't really true after all.
I don't recognize myself.
That doesn't have to be a bad thing.
It is.
Ida, you don't... you don't know yourself when you're 18.
Some people don't even know themselves when they're 80.
-May I use the restroom? -Yeah, it's down the hall.
[music swells]
[Ida breathes quickly]
Excuse me.
TO: DAD
IDA WAS OSTARA
[announcement chime]
[announcer] Please turn off all electronic devices during take-off.
I'M IN KASTRUP IN FIVE HOURS. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
I thought I was helping him.
I told him we weren't sick.
Yeah.
The hard thing about this illness is that you don't feel like you're sick.
You can't feel it yourself.
I don't think I can save Ida.
No.
I don't think any of us can.
She's not coming back, is she?
I don't think she is, no.
[somber music playing]
Everything will be okay. I promise.
And now the nightmares will stop, all right?
There.
-Excuse me. -[David] Astrid? Astrid?
What are you doing here?
Huh? Did Dennis tell you I'd be here?
What's going on, Astrid?
Uh...
A lot of stuff. Yeah.
I have to go to home to, um...
I have to go to my dad's.
Can I at least drive you?
Okay.
Thanks.
How's it going with your radio show?
-Uh, great. -Okay.
I just met Knud, who told me
that you haven't worked at the station for a while now.
That you haven't been there for, like, two months.
-You're lying to me. -No.
I just didn't get to tell you everything I, uh...
I wanted to say something, but so much has happened.
But I... I just haven't worked on it much lately.
Why did you turn this way?
Why? Where are you taking me? I-I don't understand.
We're worried about you.
-So, where are we going now? -You need professional help.
You really need help.
You're just like the fucking rest.
-Stop the car here. -Astrid.
Stop the car...
-Astrid! -Stop!
[gasps suddenly]
