Love and Other Troubles (Hulluna Saraan)

Imagine you're holding the mic with both hands.

Bend your knees. Both knees. That's good.

Imagine there's a desert over there. Sing into the horizon.

BRONSON CLUB PRESENTS - It starts in the heart.

Rock 'n' roll.

Rule number one: Don't think. Go with the flow.

I'm starving. Do we have food? Huh?

A FILM BY SAMULI VALKAMA

Next up is contestant number four: Ville Hietalahti.

Ville, how old are you?

Nine.

What is it like to be Taisto's son?

I don't really think about it. I'm just me.

I'm sure your friends at school know who your dad is, -

so do they come and ask how he's doing?

Do they ask for your dad's autograph?

Dad's new record is now available wherever fine music is sold.

Uh-huh...That's cool. And it'll be cool when you sing -

the next song, which we all know so well.

Ville Hietalahti and 'Where Have All the Wild Horses Gone?'

Where have all the wild horses gone?

Where E the gypsy woman who danced and sang?

Freedom can even bewitch one who rules a vast empire

Where E the gypsy who played guitar at the campfire?

Where E the gypsy woman...

LOVE AND OTHER TROUBLES

Good job.

I haven't started yet.

Oh. What's on your mind?

You know what? You need a woman.

Excuse me? - You have that longing look on your face.

It's been a while since the last time. - What?

Oh, nothing. - Hi!

Ville. - Yeah?

Your dad... Taisto...

Tell him Leena said ”hi.'

You know how much I love his music.

Mom, let's go. - Yeah yeah.

I recommend you start taking it really easy now.

Try not to get too excited or overly depressed about anything.

You want to be like jimi Hendrix or Burt Bacharach?

It's not...

What?

Dad.

You have some sort of a plan?

You're here now.

I mean -

what are you doing here?

Don't be so analytical.

Live in the moment for once and let fate guide you -

and see what happens.

Can you wash these?

You can have it. - Thanks.

Gotta respect a guy who makes a movie with a monkey-

and then becomes the president. The man was right:

A great man. I'll always have this with me.

Bedtime for Bonzo. - What?

That's the name of the movie where he plays with the monkey.

He made it after he said no to Casablanca.

Vamonos. Put a suit on and we'll hit the bar.

I was thinking of staying in.

Reading a book or watching a film.

Let's wrestle!

Could you get up? - This isn't fun if you don't make an effort.

Get up. - Ville.

When I cast off my mortal coil, promise me -

that you'll throw my ashes to the winds. Ooh, Taisto.

No coffin.

No monuments or statues. - I don't think you have to worry about that.

Promise me you'll throw my ashes to the winds. - Okay.

Want to go out for a drink?

Next up is contestant number four...

How's it going? - Great.

VILLE HIETALAHTI, 9 YEARS OLD

Now that you've drenched your throats, -

it's time to sing some more.

Next we'll travel to France.

Ville?

Next up is number 42. Number 42.

Ma'am, don't be afraid.

This is it All or nothing.

All pressure is on one man. And he fails.

The Finn fails, even though his style is alright

Howe ve; it fails in practice...

Ville.

Ville.

Reagan.

Hey. - Hi.

Are you awake? - Yeah.

Err. Could I...

...borrow your bed? - What?

You see, I got this...

...thing going on. - Uh-huh.

So would it be okay if I put this blanket over you? - What?

So that I wouldn't have to go into lengthy explanations -

about who the gloomy-looking guy on the couch is.

Whoops!

Wait.

Put your head on the pillow. It's late.

She wanted to see my snake The snake was no fake

Thanks.

Community center!

Dad.

Are you awake?

Right.

How did you know? - What?

That I couldn't play my guitar. - You couldn't play it?

It's not that uncommon.

At your age.

I have nothing to offer anyone.

Maybe not to her, but to someone else for sure.

I'm useless as a human being. - C'mon.

Take one of those blue pills next time.

When you're with someone else. - They're for old people.

But you are old. - What? - Nothing.

Would you like to have..?

Hot chocolate, maybe?

This is hot. - Wait for it to cool down.

It happened once before.

No need to share details. - Roskilde 1983.

Your mother and I...

We had a tent on a hill and the sun was setting.

Danish people.

You know what? - I don't know much.

I know what this is about. - What?

I'm in love. - No, you're not.

I think I am. - She left before I woke up.

I have to see her. - She left the country.

Let's wrestle. It'll clear up your thinking.

Phone. - Why? - Give me your phone.

Six phone calls. - What?

People are six phone calls away from each other. - Right.

Hi. - Hello? - Hello?

Hola. - Ciao.

How do I look?

Giddyup!

Adios amigo!

Dad!

I'd like to come with you. - Sure. Let's go.

Me!

Thank you!

Ville. - Yeah?

You see that woman over there?

I need to go, -

so could you make a cloud of dust to cover me?

Ville. Hi.

Did I just see your dad here? - He went over there.

He said he was looking for you. - Really? Thanks!

Taisto!

You're up next.

Excuse me, I think he's moving forward!

Excuse me?

Ville.

Ville.

What? - It's me.

Uh-huh. - Guess who it is?

I have no clue.

C'mon, tell me. - Ronald Reagan.

Right. - Hey, I'm a former president of the United States.

Show some respect

You speak Finnish. - I haven 't had much to do lately.

What do you want? - Nothing special

It? been a little lonely - Lonely?

Is that it? - What would you like to hear then?

Some words of wisdom, for example.

I got one: eat more cupcakes. - Uh-huh.

Listen, people.

Now! Let's go. Quick.

I'm in a bit of a hurry. That lady...

She's unbelievably persistent.

What's wrong with you? - Nothing.

Ville.

Looks like you're not firing on all cylinders.

You can't ride your bike home like this. Hop in.

Your car is a two-seater.

Damn it. You're right.

You like cupcakes?

You want to get out?

No, I'm good. - Okay.

Hi! Ville!

I was depressed, so I thought I'd have a little fun.

Seriously? - What the hell?

What do I see? - What?

An expression of emotion. - I don't want to have this party.

Fine, okay. The party's over!

I've got a surprise. - I don't want surprises.

Come on.

Look who came for a visit.

Eikka! - Hi!

Skidi! - My godson!

Hi!

You've put on some bulk. - How did that happen?

Get your ass down here.

What's up? - What did you just play?

The usual stuff.

Listen! Bono singing!

Skidi, let's play.

Hey. I'm not gonna play because I always lose. - C'mon.

If the kid wants to play, let him play. - Yeah.

Okay. - And he arrives in Tangiers.
