Solsidan

Yes, this is the new heart of the house. What do you say?

This is the crown jewel. It's a vault door from Switzerland.

I have bought it off from Credit Suisse.

So you have FEMA-certified reinforced UHP cement all around.

Tactical cooking, tactical wine. Gets better the longer it sits.

Tactile dining area. Tactile lounge. Tactile quarters.

The beds I have bought from Langley.

Personalized first-aid kits. Not the orchestra without plasters.

Very tactical, so to speak.

If an atomic bomb is dropped in Orminge, the family can play Monopoly here.

Is the plan to play Monopoly if there is a war?

That was an example, Alex. This is safe.

All successful ones do this now. I mean, in England.

-no human being lives above ground.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is digging a tunnel to Harrods, it's that bad.

The world is imploding, Alex. There are wars, pandemics.

-gang shootings, some crazy Dane celebrating Walpurgisnacht at the drop of a hat.

Please, I don't want to hear any more about the present. It's too dark.

I came here because I was a bit depressed, but now it's just getting worse.

So why are you depressed?

Since breaking up with Lisa I haven't met anyone new

-and every other week without the children it's pretty lonely at home.

You're feeling a bit lonely, you-

-and I take care of the entire survival of humanity.

We have different perspectives on life. But you have a place here

if it goes off.

It was cute. Are Anna and the kids get a seat, too?

Well, yes. Or yes, one of the children can fit.

It will be a bit of a "Sophie's Choice" for you.

Have you been in the in the substitute pool for a long time?

No, this is the first time. I'm an actor. Or was an actor.

Now it's nice to do something something really important.

Yes, yes, yes. Here at the school we have an inclusive and progressive approach

-on learning and on the relationship between teacher and student.

Yes, and that is according to my philosophy as well.

This old authoritarian style, I don't believe in it.

Hello, hello.

That's how we work in the theater, it's a group effort.

Everyone is in the same boat and everyone has to go.

Mm. It's a fifth grade you're supposed to have...

-and some of the children have their own pronouns and they should be respected.

Absolutely. We actually had that already in the forests of Värmland

-when I was growing up. But then you were assigned pronouns.

There was Tutt-Lena, Knife-Roger... and Hasch-Micke and things like that...

But that is not the case now. Now there is things are in order.

Now it is he/she, them.

-That's where I have complete control. -Good.

Uh... Here you go, sir.

Very easy to search here on social security numbers too...

-Good morning, Alex! -Hey...

I recognize the face from the website.

Calle, the dental nurse from Docia Dental Staffing.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. You're already here, aren't you?

Up with the rooster is good for the squad.

Yeah, okay. And you've had coffee.

-Would you like a cup? -No, thanks.

-I'm going to fix instruments and stuff. -I've done that.

What? God, that was very nice.

Okay, thank you, thank you. But yes, I'll get changed.

But you have to do that yourself. That's the limit.

It costs extra. Let me know if you need help.

Yes, yes...

That's it! I think this will be nicer.

Cozy, now we see each other properly. It's a bit more chill

-than to stand at the lectern like an old-fashioned teacher

-and pushing knowledge down your throat.

Now we are kind of on the same level here, as they say in gaming.

Let's start by introducing ourselves to each other?

Let's see if anything sticks. here, in the bud. Is that okay?

Then I'll start. My name is Anna. What is your name?

-My name is Saga. Her. -Hi, Saga.

-Wilhelm. He. -Hi, Wilhelm.

-Mira. He and/or she. -And/or?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hello, Mira.

-Arthur. Sir. -Hen.

No, sir. Sir. Mr. Adlerstam, please.

Mr. Adlerstam, yes.

So, William, you have a hole. You'll have to come back.

It's okay, William. It's gonna be just fine.

You will find that there is nothing to worry about.

Heard you like cars, what's better than a bulldozer?

-Oh, thank you! -Have a good day now.

See you later. I'll email my mom. - You have such positive energy.

I see. Thank you, sir.

I guess I am a happy person quite simply.

-Yes, it is noticeable. That's great. -Fun.

-That was the last one, right? -Yes.

-Are you going home to your wife now? -No, I'm divorced.

-Well, is it true? Me too. -Okay.

I guess that's okay, but every two weeks

-when you're without the kids, it gets pretty boring.

All buddies go home to their own families

-and then you sit there by yourself and owls.

Look at it positively. You have the chance to cultivate your own interests.

I like to read a lot, interval training, watching movies. What about you?

I like running too. It's fun.

And movies, that's fun if it's a good movie.

Right! Nice! Why don't we have a movie night, watch something together?

Now that we are wife-free. At last!

Yes...

-Alarm! Alarm! Alarm! -What's going on?!

This is serious business. Take the kids and get down in the basement quickly. Quickly, quickly!

Alarm!

Come on, honey. Come on, honey.

But what is happening, Dad? Is there a war?

The exercise is interrupted. Six minutes and forty-five seconds.

In real time, we would have been dead because Chloe went to get her rabbit.

-But for fuck's sake, Fredrik! -Are you kidding me?

I just want what's best for my family. It's important to practice.

What does not work in everyday life will not work in war.

-Now open the door. -In a live situation, say "arresting"...

-Open, damn it! -Yes, yes...

It's nice to talk to friends, isn't it? I think so too.

But now we have to do the math here.

Hey, hey, hey. Watch out for the right hook, coming through.

That didn't even hurt.

Shall we take the pencils here so we have a bit of time...?

But quiet!

Now you can actually be quiet, or you'll be in the hall of shame!

-Arthur... -Mr. Adlerstam, please.

Mr. Adlerstam, the hall of shame was something... used in the old school days...

-to threaten and intimidate students. We no longer do that in schools.

Above all, we should not threaten our own classmates.

-But it was that kind of life. -Yeah.

It doesn't have to be completely silent in a classroom.

When you go out into the real world. world, it's not all quiet.

Suck on it a little.

-Ta-da! -Lovely.

Small whiskey stick.

One for you, my dear friend. And one for me. Cheers.

Life is pretty good though, right? Sitting out here

-and the sun shines and we drink each a little stick. Cheers!

That was the worst what you have cheered up.

We have a new dental nurse on work, Calle. He is always happy.

-Very inspiring. -I understand. Nice to meet you.

-Is he always happy? -Yes, he is, actually.

-But you are also often happy. -Yes.

But I have a fundamental joy. It's usually said, somewhat carelessly.

-that every human being has three personalities:

The professional, the private and the secret.

What is the difference?

The private personality of Fredde, it's usually happy.

Because the professional personality is usually critical.

I am often perceived as very critical and negative at work.

So we are making money and I have reason to be happy.

But if you are positive privately, professionally and secretly

-there is every reason to to put an observation on it.

I would keep an eye on the nurse.

Observandum?

General happiness should be questioned.

He is ten years old and wants to be called sir.

I have stopped trying to keep up what the children want to be called.

There is something new every week.

But to allow only progressive pronouns, is that so progressive?

Where does it all come from? Spontaneously I think the parents.

There are a lot of conservatives out here.

Of course it is right that children to be as they are.

But isn't it even more right to to make the child stop being who they are

-if someone else has decided how they should be?

Sure.

I don't understand how his parents think!

You cannot force a child to be a certain way.

I have to help him to try to be in a different way.

-Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. -Do you know what I think?

-Talk less and drink more. -Yeah...

So, take an olive.

-Are they fresh olives? -I don't know.

I did not pick them.

-Good morning, Alex! -Good morning.

-Well, it was a real pissy morning. -No, what? Tell me about it.

It is good to share their problems.
