How are you doing?
The doctors are exaggerating. I'm fine.
It's just...
No, it's been too much. I don't know, I...
I don't know.
I don't know if I can handle this.
Handle what?
I can't sleep. I can't eat and I...
I just can't...
If...
If I can't do this, then...
Then you have to...
Well...
What happens if you can't...
It'll be fine, Mom.
You'll get well. It...
And I'll handle it.
I promise.
They're coming. I have to go.
Seriously?
Be glad that I don't make you go to the youth clinic every week.
Will you ever trust me again?
Why do you think I didn't tell you?
You wouldn't have been able to handle it.
That I can fuck up too.
Boys, look this way.
Yes, great.
August.
Very nice.
Too bad we can't celebrate Walpurgis.
At least we'll have our capping ceremony, right?
Principal Hamilton said
it depends on your behavior during the Schools Inspectorate's visit tomorrow.
Okay, guys.
If anyone hasn't signed this petition,
please do it now, because we have to hand it in tomorrow.
August, will it really make any difference?
It beats sitting around complaining.
If everyone signs,
the Schools Inspectorate can't say a thing.
Let me see...
As I thought.
Simon and Wille haven't signed.
Fix it.
If the Prince signs, it's a done deal.
You should go.
If they see you with me, they'll probably start harassing you too.
Okay, got it.
- See you. - Bye.
- Hi. - Hi.
How are you?
I have to do something before I hand my phone in.
I spoke to my mom and she's really not doing well.
I don't know what to do.
- Hey? - Yeah?
You're not listening.
People are commenting on my latest post where I'm singing.
Damn it, Simon.
I'm... having a breakdown over my mom and you...
you're obsessing about some comments.
We've talked about this. You reacting makes it worse.
You don't have to post and read.
That way you are looking for hate.
They write as if they know me.
As if they know us.
They are discussing our relationship, but they have no idea.
- They misinterpret everything. - Yes, and I hate it, but...
it's always been like that and always will be,
for me and people around me.
About your mom, it'll get better.
She'll get better.
Burnout is quite a common thing.
No, not in my family.
She's never had a breakdown like this.
What if she can't work anymore?
What if? Then I have to step in.
Then all of this will get worse.
All I want is to be with you.
I can be your revolution
- How embarrassing. - Yeah, I mean...
They're coming.
Let's start.
Winter's stormed out from our mountains
Snowrose blossoms melt away and die
Well...
Where is Wille?
Is he sick today?
I don't know. I haven't seen him.
In that case, I think we should do this.
We'll focus on you this hour.
No, it... Thanks, but no thanks. If Wille's not here, we can do it--
Hang on, wait.
Here's what I'm thinking. Isn't there anything
that's hard for you to talk about
when Wille's here?
Well...
I can't say a word to him
without him seeing it as some kind of attack.
And how does that make you feel?
Well, I guess he's decided that I'm evil.
And...
I don't know, it...
Maybe it's true.
What makes you say that?
I don't see the point in even trying to be nice
when I know that I won't be forgiven.
You can actually feel very, very good by being nice to others,
and to yourself.
Sometimes, forgiveness might be impossible.
But we still have to find a way to move on.
And if we start making different choices,
acting more selflessly,
we can at least get to the point where we can forgive ourselves.
PEOPLE ONLY LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE'S WITH THE CROWN PRINCE
CLASS TRAITOR
HAHAHA HE SUCKS
Hi.
I've made your favorite. Pabellón.
I was thinking we could sit down and talk.
I'm not hungry.
I don't get it. There are five different options.
- Read the question and you'll get it. - Should we just guess?
- I've done it here. - Yeah.
You missed Boris today.
Oh, fuck. Right!
- Did you call Farima to tell on me? - No.
I actually haven't heard a word from her,
or anyone else, for that matter, since...
Well, the thing with the Queen.
How is she doing?
- Is she okay? - She's great.
Well,
I really came over to ask you to sign the petition.
For the Schools Inspectorate's visit tomorrow.
Why are you so eager to hush this up?
Are you involved?
Of course you're involved.
There wouldn't be any problems at this school without you.
I never said that.
You have no idea about--
Hang on. What do you mean by "hushing up"?
- It's all lies. It's made up. - Then there's nothing to worry about.
Yes, but you of all people should know
that rumors and bullshit can ruin a great deal.
Are you threatening me?
No, I'm only trying to help you.
If you can't see that, fuck it!
Good.
Come on, you must know that I, as Crown Prince, can't sign.
I'm not allowed to take a stand.
Okay, but you already have.
Simon.
What's wrong?
I...
I was so confused
about everything that's going on.
And I want you to know that I do trust you.
I've just been worried about what's going on at that school.
About what it's doing to you and Sara.
And...
I feel like I can't protect you.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I don't want to be there anyway.
I don't want to be in Bjärstad. I don't want to be anywhere.
Everybody hates me, and the ones who don't hate me
just like me because I'm with Wille.
Everything I do goes wrong.
Oh no. I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart.
It will be okay. Everything will be okay.
No.
YOU OWN THE SCHOOL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HERITAGE
Today is, as you know, a very important day.
We will have a visit from the Schools Inspectorate.
No, stop it. Not today. This is serious.
The school's entire future depends on this investigation.
Felice, your hair.
They are going to attend lessons and inspect everything we do.
If you are being interviewed,
wait outside the principal's office at the designated time.
The principal sends word that if you behave today,
it is possible that some restrictions may be lifted.
Oh my God, maybe we'll get our phones back!
Please, bring your A game, everybody.
Yeah, or I mean, a bit.
Dad's coming. Mom says I'm not to be "interrogated" without a parent there.
Come on, sweetie. You'll do great.
And in this glass, we have five marbles,
three red ones and two green ones.
Hey.
I talked to Mom.
I'm not grounded anymore.
Hi, welcome. Hi.
They're coming!
They're coming.
You can come with me.
Here is our library.
And here is our music room.
And both the Crown Prince and Simon
are members of our exceptional school choir.
- Good day. - Hi.
You two keep rehearsing and we'll move on to the gymnasium.
I don't get it. Will they even reach a decision this way?
No one will be honest.
I wish I could get one moment with you without being interrupted.
We'll have to make that happen.
- You think so? - Yes.
Old traditions, passing years Hillerska will...
So how's school?
What are your summer plans, Vincent?
I'm going to LA.
Fun.
Enough with the acting.
The principal has to let us celebrate Walpurgis now.
The whole point is celebrating Walpurgis and then having a day off.
Everybody knows that the 1st of May is a holiday for a reason.
- They're idiots. - It's so stupid.
You do know it's not a holiday so you can party the day before?
What?
- It's the first of May. - Yeah, so?
Worker's Day?
Okay, so what's their style? How do they celebrate?
You don't celebrate.
You demonstrate.
Okay.
- You never have, I guess. - No, Simon.
I think you're the only one here who does that.
Tell me, what's the plan? You're going out to wave your red flag,
and sing some chants, and walk in line, right?
What does the Royal Family think about that?
At least, it's nice to have a day off.
Dad?
How was your time here?
They were probably the most fun-filled years of my life.
But didn't you ever feel different?
Yeah.
When I started, I tried to have my own style.
Some different cool clothes, big unruly hair.
You should have seen me.
But here, that wasn't an option.
Soon, I looked like everyone else.
I was the only Black student when I studied here, so of course I stood out.
People used the N-word as if it was perfectly normal.
Well...
Didn't you ever speak up about it or tell a teacher?
No.
What could I say?
They were the same.
I learned early on
to be ten times better than everyone else.
Then, they had nothing on me.
That's how you win. Play by the rules and not--
Thank you.
- Felice Ehrencrona? - Yes.
Welcome.
- Felice's dad. - Hi.
I can handle it myself.
So I'll wait here?
I'm glad you could make it.
This is completely confidential.
Your name will not be mentioned in the report, so you can be fully honest.
Is that okay?
So, let's start with when you started here last fall.
How was that for you and the other students?
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
Excuse me. We'd just like to give you this.
A petition from the students.
We have signed it to show that we really love our school.
We find that the media criticism has been totally unfair and exaggerated.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
- What a nice initiative. - Thank you.
How did it go?
We'll see when they've decided.
Excuse me?
Will we be allowed to celebrate Walpurgis?
What will we do about that?
INCOME, CLASS AND PARTY SYMPATHIES
Why are none of these sharpened?
Hey, Felice, by the way...
What did they say? Did they ask about the initiation?
Yes. Yeah, of course they did.
What did you say?
Well, I just tried to say as little as possible.
You didn't tell them we have them, right? They wouldn't understand.
Well, no.
Okay.
Good. Great.
Walpurgis is on!
Hey, Walpurgis is on!
- Says who? - The principal.
- Are you kidding? - You're kidding!
No alcohol, but it'll be awesome! Let's get pumped!
Oh, my... Yes!
Walpurgis!
- What? - Yes!
- Walpurgis is on! - Walpurgis!
This is going so well that I think you're ready for step two.
What are you doing?
This is the most important skill when it comes to driving.
Singing while driving.
Are you ready?
Come on.
Roundabouts are tricky.
Hi.
August.
August Horn af Årnäs.
I'm a friend of Sara's.
Micke. Micke af Eriksson.
Sara's dad.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, nice.
He seems nice, your dad.
He's having a good spell. They usually don't last very long.
Same with mine.
But I'd rather have a dad with bad spells than no dad at all.
Why are you here?
Well,
I was so angry
with you for going to the police.
And I get it. I deserved it.
I deserved it. It was my fault.
I was the one who let you down first.
I understand that now,
but I don't want you
to destroy your life, because you...
You're the only one I've ever been able to talk to.
You're the only one who's ever understood me,
and I've missed you.
I've missed you so freaking much that it hurts.
And what we had, it was good.
You made me feel like I could be a better person--
August!
Please.
At least come back to school.
I don't want to be the reason you're not coming back.
Bye, August.
- I'm so excited! - Walpurgis will be awesome!
That's good.
Yes.
No. Hold on.
We'll let you do it, because nothing turned out right.
No!
No! You'll blind me!
PREPARATIONS FOR WALPURGIS!
The person you're calling is not available right now.
Hi, Mom. It's me again.
Call me.
That guy, August,
what did he want?
He...
wanted me to come back to school.
I told him it's impossible.
Because?
Everything went wrong.
I did something wrong.
Well, about...
doing things wrong, well, I am kind of an expert.
The anxiety that comes with it...
that's the worst feeling in the world.
I carried around a lot of guilt and shame for letting you and Simon down.
So when Linda and I finally got divorced,
I just gave up.
But it was me and Simon who didn't want to see you.
Or, I didn't want to see you.
Of course you didn't, but I should have fought for you.
Instead, I felt sorry for myself and just wanted to run away.
I felt like I was stuck in a loop.
If I didn't take my ADHD medication, I felt like crap and nothing worked.
When I took it, I thought I was like everyone else
and could go for a drink with my friends.
Suddenly, I'd chugged down 30 beers and wouldn't come home all weekend.
And I couldn't handle your disappointment.
So it started over again.
Will that happen to me?
No.
You may have inherited my diagnoses, Sara,
but you're not me.
What I'm trying to say is
that guilt and that shame,
I think you and I feel that emotion more than others,
but don't let that emotion control your life.
Do you understand?
Winter's stormed out from our mountains
Snowrose blossoms melt away and die
Springlight smiles In our glittering fountains
The sun is kissing seas in warm July
Seas will glow in red and warming sunlight
Shining as like gold and azure blue
Meadows welcome us so beautiful
And bright glittering in meadow rivers too
Dear youngsters,
for over 120 years, we have celebrated Walpurgis here at Hillerska.
Together, we welcome spring
and pay special attention to our future graduates.
You may now wear your graduation caps with pride.
Winds disobey but whisper and play
Yes, just like a carefree couple in love
Rivers are flowing never they're slowing
Until the sea they reach from above
Pound now my heart, yes lament and hear
How our French horn's tones disappear
Spirits will play, in sorrow and, nay
They wait in the canyon deep
Think like this.
If you can do this, you can do anything.
Call me whenever you want, and I'll come and pick you up.
Damn, Simon, that was awful.
I didn't know it'd be so awful to sing in front of everyone.
- You didn't, did you? - No.
How do you do it?
What? You give speeches in front of the school,
or the entire nation.
Yeah, but...
You seem to actually enjoy it.
You just stand there and feel things and you're open and vulnerable.
Yeah, but... I wasn't this time.
It's harder to relax when I sing now.
It's not as much fun anymore.
When is your bus?
Ten past nine.
I was thinking...
Everyone's out here.
Hi, you have reached Micke. I can't talk right now, but leave a...
Sara? Hi!
Hi.
So good to see you.
You too.
I've missed you.
How can she show her face here?
No, I know.
Let's just leave.
Out in our meadow the blue berries grow
Oh, sweet delight
And if you want me, then out there we go
Come lilies and columbine
Come roses and blessed sage
Come wonderful spearmint
Come joy of heart
Beautiful flowers may ask us to dance
Oh, sweet delight
Then I may give you a wreath of romance
Come lilies and columbine
Come roses and blessed sage
Come wonderful spearmint
Come joy of heart
I love you.
Oh, crap...
I'm sorry, I...
fell asleep.
My damn phone was on silent.
Have you been drinking?
What? No, I...
I just fell asleep. I was exhausted.
But how... How did it go?
Shitty.
But I survived.
I'm going back on Monday.
That's great.
But I want to sleep now, so...
Yeah, sure.
How did it feel to see Sara today?
Honestly, I don't know.
I just feel blank.
Still, she did report him.
Yes.
But how can you have the same childhood
and the same genes, and still be so different?
And have a totally different perspective on things?
I don't know.
Will you be able to forgive her?
Would you?
Erik could never have done that to me.
He was the one who protected and took care of me.
Yeah.
It just feels like
I've always been there for her,
and done everything for her.
If she can do something like this to me...
then anyone could.
So how...
How can I trust anyone?
You can trust me.
Hear us roar, Bjärstad for everyone!

Hey, Simme, you look like you're selling something else.
Ha-ha. Very funny.
- Hi. - Hi.
We'll take two, please.
Yes, that'll be 40 SEK.
Here, you can pick.
Thanks.
Uh, I just have to say,
you're something of an idol in our house.
What you and the Crown Prince are doing...
We think you're really brave.
Yes.
Okay. That's nice.
Could you take a picture with us?
Sure.
- I mean, if it's all right. - Yeah.
- It would mean a lot. - Sure.
- Want me to help you take it? - That would be nice.
Okay, say "cheese"!
There you go.
Thanks.
- Bye. - Take care.
Bye. Thank you.

- Hi, Farima. - Hi, Wilhelm.
Weren't you going to talk to Simon?
I tried. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
The image he posted has already made headlines.
Considering your mother's health, you have to be more responsible.
Talk to him.
- Or we will. - I'll call him now.
Hi.
What are you doing?
I...
I saw the picture you posted.
Wasn't it really cute?
I can't believe we have little fans in Bjärstad.
It feels like we could change things for real.
Yes, but, Simon,
you have to understand that you can't post just anything.
Hello?
