Peder, I'm listening
Well, I'm just wondering where to start, so you will understand
Take your time
Here we got it, March 7th. Second worst day of my life, the funderal. It's now three weeks since mom died. Since the worst day
Peder, nothing will change
It will be empty some times... But, it will be alright.
It's okay to cry
Nothing will change.
I always knew I wasn't the most popular kid in school. But not having a mom in a small town, doesn't make it easier.
The first weeks was hectic. Dad had a hard time to focus.
I had to all the things that he didn't
Some people would call him apathetic. And it wasn't better when he found the 80's film STRUL. Moms favourite film.
Dad, it's dinner
It's six o'clock. We always have dinner at six.
It's okay to be sad. But perhaps it's time that to go back to normal?
Dad?
Dad, are you feeling better?
Haven't felt this good in ages.
Peder, let's wait till everybody is here
What?
Honey, are you ready?
Peder, why don't you tell your mother and me how school was?
Dad, I will be honest with you. Mom is dead. That's our old mop. A mop.
Don't be rude. Apologize.
I have prepared a cosy, cosy dinner. And you're calling you're mom a mop
You can't apologize to mops, they don't have any feelings.
Sit down
It will pass
He will forget all about it in the morning
He will eat when he's hungry
Hey Peder, how are you doing?
It's alright
Is the rumors true that your dad is walking around with a old mop?
No, why would he?
Peder, jump in
Come with me dad
Can't we buy a film?
I don't get it. We have STRUL at home.
You're funny
Haven't we seen STRUL enough now?
I don't get it
I was just thinking that it would be nice to see something different. Something we haven't seen before.
Maybe. What would you like to see honey?
Only you and me dad. I think mom has to rest.
Honey, did you bring my wallet? -Dad are you listening?
Honey, I told you to bring it. You took all the cash yesterday.
Peder, Transfer some money to my card. Thanks.
Or should we go to the movies? We haven't done that in a while
Cinema. What do you say honey?
Mom should rest tonight. Only you and me dad.
What was the runtime of the film? Maybe I should call home and check that everything is okay?
It's fine dad. I made some popcorn for her. She was watching STRUL when we left.
You can't get enough of STRUL
-Hi, are you here?
Sorry, dumb question. It's nice to see you outside the bus.
We always ride the same bus on the way home.
Hi, Karin. -Hi Klas, so you know eachother?
Over there, that's where I used to have my boat.
What a beutiful day, right Honey? And what a great idea to take a walk Peder.
Look at this mom
What are you doing with your mother?
Mom is already dead. That's just a mop.
Don't you remember? We were at the funeral here. It doesn't have to be as it use to.
We can have it alright. Just you and me.
That's something
How did it go?
With what?
The lady on the bus? Did everything go back to the way it used to be?
It can never be the way it used to be. It's first when you realize that you can't hold on to the past, that you can move on
How about the lady on the bus?
I'm sorry but our time is up here. We have to pick up here next week.
