- 00:00:42,041 --> 00:00:44,361
- "We are delighted to confirm
- your admission to -
- 2
- 00:00:44,521 --> 00:00:47,641
- - The College
- of Advanced Technology."
- 3
- 00:01:03,361 --> 00:01:06,561
- Our Father who art in heaven -
- 4
- 00:01:06,721 --> 00:01:10,041
- - may You always
- be with my son, Peter Andreas -
- 5
- 00:01:10,201 --> 00:01:13,521
- - who is now leaving
- his childhood home.
- 6
- 00:01:13,681 --> 00:01:16,441
- May he never forget the plight of life -
- 7
- 00:01:16,601 --> 00:01:19,201
- - or his obligation to You,
- Almighty Lord.
- 8
- 00:01:20,201 --> 00:01:23,801
- Let him not be tempted
- by the decay of city life -
- 9
- 00:01:23,961 --> 00:01:29,001
- - and lay not up for himself treasures,
- where moth and rust doth corrupt.
- 10
- 00:01:29,161 --> 00:01:34,801
- As is Thy will,
- all that are bred and born in darkness -
- 11
- 00:01:34,961 --> 00:01:40,441
- - will one day appear, and sentence
- shall be passed upon them.
- 12
- 00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:42,161
- Amen.
- 13
- 00:01:45,281 --> 00:01:47,521
- I have saved up some money -
- 14
- 00:01:47,681 --> 00:01:51,801
- - which I meant to give to you
- when you left home.
- 15
- 00:01:51,961 --> 00:01:55,161
- But since you have chosen
- a different path...
- 16
- 00:01:56,601 --> 00:01:58,681
- ...you get nothing.
- 17
- 00:01:58,841 --> 00:02:02,361
- You will, however, get a gift.
- 18
- 00:02:09,841 --> 00:02:15,281
- This watch, which my father gave
- to me on the day that I left home -
- 19
- 00:02:15,441 --> 00:02:19,721
- - I give to you, in the hope that
- it will soothe your hardened heart.
- 20
- 00:02:19,881 --> 00:02:22,561
- And open your obstinate mind.
- 21
- 00:02:22,721 --> 00:02:27,121
- When, one day, you turn away
- from the path to perdition -
- 22
- 00:02:27,281 --> 00:02:30,921
- - you will open
- your misguided heart to us.
- 23
- 00:02:31,081 --> 00:02:35,441
- - And to Our Lord in Heaven.
- - It's pitiful to watch an old vicar...
- 24
- 00:02:35,601 --> 00:02:38,521
- ...whom I've only known for his inhuman
- rigour, seem so sentimental.
- 25
- 00:02:38,681 --> 00:02:41,121
- - You cannot refuse...
- - What?
- 26
- 00:02:41,281 --> 00:02:46,041
- Father's self-righteous piety?
- This gift of grace?
- 27
- 00:02:46,201 --> 00:02:50,481
- Apologise.
- Apologise for what you said!
- 28
- 00:02:50,641 --> 00:02:52,921
- Never!
- 29
- 00:02:58,681 --> 00:03:00,161
- Hit me again.
- 30
- 00:03:01,521 --> 00:03:05,601
- Hit me again like you normally do.
- 31
- 00:03:05,761 --> 00:03:11,881
- Beware!
- Beware His intrepid curse!
- 32
- 00:03:12,041 --> 00:03:16,601
- Since Father is predicting my future,
- he should know that in this house -
- 33
- 00:03:16,761 --> 00:03:20,401
- - I've always felt like a stranger
- and a homeless person.
- 34
- 00:03:20,561 --> 00:03:23,841
- - Exiled be he who defies The Lord!
- - Amen!
- 35
- 00:03:31,041 --> 00:03:33,921
- Peter? Peter Andreas?
- 36
- 00:03:35,521 --> 00:03:38,841
- Here is a little something
- for the journey.
- 37
- 00:03:39,001 --> 00:03:44,801
- And remember, if you need help,
- your older brother is in Copenhagen.
- 38
- 00:03:44,961 --> 00:03:47,081
- Thank you, Mother.
- 39
- 00:04:59,401 --> 00:05:01,441
- ROOM TO LET
- 40
- 00:05:33,801 --> 00:05:37,161
- This is it.
- The rent is due every first in the month.
- 41
- 00:05:43,121 --> 00:05:49,241
- In Darcy's Law, we see a crucial
- coherence in proportionality-
- 42
- 00:05:49,401 --> 00:05:53,241
- - between the water flow in the ground
- and the elevation difference -
- 43
- 00:05:53,401 --> 00:05:58,001
- - between two points.
- But what constitutes this coherence?
- 44
- 00:05:58,161 --> 00:05:59,761
- Yes?
- 45
- 00:05:59,921 --> 00:06:04,121
- There is an exponential coherence
- between the acreage and the water flow.
- 46
- 00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:09,201
- A proportional coherence. The larger
- the acreage, the larger the water flow.
- 47
- 00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:13,321
- What are you doing, Mr. Sidenius?
- 48
- 00:06:13,481 --> 00:06:15,721
- It's a system of canals -
- 49
- 00:06:15,881 --> 00:06:18,481
- - which will cut through Jutland
- and connect the two oceans.
- 50
- 00:06:18,641 --> 00:06:22,121
- It will shorten shipping travel
- and connect the new towns.
- 51
- 00:06:22,281 --> 00:06:26,801
- In the middle of class? Have I not
- asked you to refrain from conducting -
- 52
- 00:06:26,961 --> 00:06:30,041
- - these foolish, conceited experiments?
- 53
- 00:06:30,201 --> 00:06:33,961
- The canals will branch off
- to the marshy areas -
- 54
- 00:06:34,121 --> 00:06:38,121
- - which can be drained and made
- cultivable by using Darcy's Law.
- 55
- 00:06:38,281 --> 00:06:43,041
- Listen, Mr. Sidenius...
- A young man like you -
- 56
- 00:06:43,201 --> 00:06:47,681
- - needs no other ambition
- than that of acquiring knowledge.
- 57
- 00:06:48,681 --> 00:06:50,801
- Understood?
- 58
- 00:06:52,361 --> 00:06:54,601
- Yes, sir!
- 59
- 00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:19,441
- Do you have any work available?
- 60
- 00:07:20,961 --> 00:07:24,641
- - Only for one night.
- - Thank you.
- 61
- 00:08:06,721 --> 00:08:10,921
- I'm studying for an engineering degree.
- I needed some money.
- 62
- 00:08:11,081 --> 00:08:14,761
- Unfortunately,
- they only needed me for one night.
- 63
- 00:08:19,521 --> 00:08:25,681
- - Do you often pick up random objects?
- - No, it's for a project of mine.
- 64
- 00:08:26,841 --> 00:08:32,121
- - What did you do before?
- - You're a curious soul.
- 65
- 00:08:33,121 --> 00:08:37,721
- - I used to be a model.
- - Really?
- 66
- 00:08:37,881 --> 00:08:41,761
- - For fashion magazines?
- - Stop it, you nitwit.
- 67
- 00:08:41,921 --> 00:08:45,121
- I posed at The Academy of Fine Arts.
- 68
- 00:08:46,881 --> 00:08:52,201
- - Like... Do you mean naked?
- - Of course.
- 69
- 00:08:54,641 --> 00:08:57,601
- - For men too?
- - Of course!
- 70
- 00:08:57,761 --> 00:09:01,881
- You really are a nitwit.
- There were only men present.
- 71
- 00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:04,241
- It was fun.
- 72
- 00:09:04,401 --> 00:09:09,601
- I would tease them by applying lipstick
- and painting my eyelashes.
- 73
- 00:09:09,761 --> 00:09:11,801
- Really?
- 74
- 00:09:16,321 --> 00:09:20,921
- Venice went from being
- an insignificant city -
- 75
- 00:09:21,081 --> 00:09:24,521
- - to one of the world's largest
- commercial centres -
- 76
- 00:09:24,681 --> 00:09:29,161
- - because they built
- a sophisticated canal system.
- 77
- 00:09:29,321 --> 00:09:33,001
- I'm calculating how
- to turn Esbjerg into a lagoon city -
- 78
- 00:09:33,161 --> 00:09:35,081
- - with elevated trading posts.
- 79
- 00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:39,001
- Imagine electrical gondolas sweeping
- through the streets of Esbjerg -
- 80
- 00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:42,161
- - carrying travellers and their goods.
- 81
- 00:09:42,321 --> 00:09:45,201
- Duty-free, of course.
- 82
- 00:09:48,361 --> 00:09:52,681
- Right, nitwit!
- No more engineering stories.
- 83
- 00:10:28,481 --> 00:10:31,641
- He's smiling at you!
- 84
- 00:10:31,801 --> 00:10:34,881
- It's peculiar how
- older men are attracted to you.
- 85
- 00:10:35,041 --> 00:10:37,121
- Please be quiet.
- 86
- 00:10:38,201 --> 00:10:40,601
- But he'd not be a bad partner.
- 87
- 00:10:41,801 --> 00:10:46,241
- And consider your age, Jakobe.
- You can't live like a nun forever.
- 88
- 00:10:46,401 --> 00:10:50,961
- Besides, he's wealthy.
- So he wouldn't take you for your money.
- 89
- 00:10:51,121 --> 00:10:54,121
- Please be quiet, Nanny!
- 90
- 00:10:55,881 --> 00:11:00,881
- I enjoyed spending the summers
- in Denmark with my family.
- 91
- 00:11:01,041 --> 00:11:06,361
- But when the cold set in, I wanted to go
- back to Switzerland to the fresh air.
- 92
- 00:11:06,521 --> 00:11:12,401
- How long did you attend
- the girls' school, Miss Salomon?
- 93
- 00:11:12,561 --> 00:11:16,481
- Five years.
- I made friends from all over the world.
- 94
- 00:11:16,641 --> 00:11:21,481
- Jakobe speaks six languages and
- has a degree in literature and history.
- 95
- 00:11:21,641 --> 00:11:23,561
- I see.
- 96
- 00:11:25,321 --> 00:11:30,441
- Mr. Ivan, I understand that
- you've decided to seek out new talent.
- 97
- 00:11:30,601 --> 00:11:34,961
- - That's very commendable.
- - Yes. The future lies with the young.
- 98
- 00:11:35,121 --> 00:11:38,561
- We're always looking for
- new investment opportunities.
- 99
- 00:11:38,721 --> 00:11:40,681
- But why do we have to contend with -
- 100
- 00:11:40,841 --> 00:11:44,201
- - the ill-mannered and failed geniuses
- you keep bringing home?
- 101
- 00:11:46,201 --> 00:11:47,481
- Mr. Salomon...
- 102
- 00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:54,001
- Most humbly, I wondered
- if I might talk with you in private?
- 103
- 00:11:54,161 --> 00:11:58,961
- Of course, Mr. Eybert.
- Let's withdraw to another room.
- 104
- 00:12:03,401 --> 00:12:09,201
- I owe you an explanation
- as to why I'm really here.
- 105
- 00:12:09,361 --> 00:12:14,281
- It involves... I don't know
- how to phrase it. It involves...
- 106
- 00:12:15,281 --> 00:12:18,001
- ...the state of my heart.
- 107
- 00:12:19,881 --> 00:12:25,281
- Would it be presumptuous of me
- to ask for some water or coffee?
- 108
- 00:12:25,441 --> 00:12:29,681
- Agnes? Please pour
- Mr. Eybert some more coffee.
- 109
- 00:12:33,361 --> 00:12:35,841
- Thank you.
- 110
- 00:12:40,801 --> 00:12:46,161
- Where were we?
- Oh, yes! The state of my heart.
- 111
- 00:12:46,321 --> 00:12:52,761
- It's my intention to honour
- Miss Jakobe with my affection.
- 112
- 00:12:53,801 --> 00:13:00,521
- Mr. Eybert, of course my wife and I
- have noticed where things are headed.
- 113
- 00:13:01,921 --> 00:13:07,441
- You come from good Jewish stock and
- are also a friend of the family, so...
- 114
- 00:13:07,601 --> 00:13:09,401
- Let me not mince matters.
- 115
- 00:13:09,561 --> 00:13:16,281
- I assume you've considered the disparity
- in years between you and my daughter.
- 116
- 00:13:16,441 --> 00:13:19,401
- Hasn't that coffee
- been sufficiently stirred now?
- 117
- 00:13:20,441 --> 00:13:22,401
- Oh, yes.
- 118
- 00:13:24,241 --> 00:13:30,601
- I also assume you've considered
- my daughter's position in life.
- 119
- 00:13:31,521 --> 00:13:37,361
- And my testamentary dispositions
- regarding her.
- 120
- 00:13:37,521 --> 00:13:41,081
- The state of her finances
- has not been decisive in this.
- 121
- 00:13:41,241 --> 00:13:44,401
- As I said, it concerns
- the state of my heart...
- 122
- 00:13:44,561 --> 00:13:47,841
- You know that
- I hold you in high esteem -
- 123
- 00:13:48,001 --> 00:13:51,081
- - so of course, in principle,
- you have my blessing.
- 124
- 00:13:51,241 --> 00:13:56,681
- However, ultimately
- Jakobe decides her own future.
- 125
- 00:14:54,041 --> 00:14:57,521
- I have something
- which might interest you.
- 126
- 00:14:57,681 --> 00:15:00,521
- A book, or rather, the Holy Bible.
- 127
- 00:15:00,681 --> 00:15:04,121
- It was a gift from the vicar
- who conducted my confirmation.
- 128
- 00:15:04,281 --> 00:15:08,881
- - A prominent man, rector Sidenius.
- - How do I know it's not stolen?
- 129
- 00:15:09,041 --> 00:15:13,601
- He dedicated it to me
- on the front page.
- 130
- 00:15:13,761 --> 00:15:18,121
- "Always observe
- the strict laws of the Church."
- 131
- 00:15:18,281 --> 00:15:20,561
- 15 øre.
- 132
- 00:15:20,721 --> 00:15:24,921
- 15 øre? I imagined...
- I would have thought...
- 133
- 00:15:51,601 --> 00:15:54,561
- - Excuse me?
- - Yes?
- 134
- 00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:59,921
- - Who is that gentleman over there?
- - Ivan Salomon.
- 135
- 00:16:00,081 --> 00:16:03,601
- - Salomon?
- - Have you not heard of the Salomons?
- 136
- 00:16:03,761 --> 00:16:05,961
- No.
- 137
- 00:16:14,481 --> 00:16:17,801
- - The bill, please.
- - Yes, sir.
- 138
- 00:16:28,441 --> 00:16:30,601
- Excuse me, sir?
- 139
- 00:16:30,761 --> 00:16:34,241
- May I steal a moment of your time?
- 140
- 00:16:35,961 --> 00:16:40,641
- My name is Peter Andreas Sidenius.
- I study engineering.
- 141
- 00:16:40,801 --> 00:16:46,521
- I hear that you're looking for
- people with ideas. Geniuses.
- 142
- 00:16:46,681 --> 00:16:52,041
- I would like to present
- a couple of my inventions to you.
- 143
- 00:16:52,201 --> 00:16:55,121
- - May I sit down?
- - Please.
- 144
- 00:16:59,801 --> 00:17:05,161
- I've thought of
- a new way of winning energy.
- 145
- 00:17:05,321 --> 00:17:09,281
- Instead of using expensive coal,
- we could utilise nature's own power -
- 146
- 00:17:09,441 --> 00:17:11,521
- - the wind and the waves.
- 147
- 00:17:11,681 --> 00:17:15,521
- With a sophisticated system of canals
- and locks, it will revolutionise...
- 148
- 00:17:15,681 --> 00:17:19,201
- Your receipt.
- 149
- 00:17:19,361 --> 00:17:24,841
- This will turn Denmark into a modern,
- self-sufficient industrial nation.
- 150
- 00:17:25,001 --> 00:17:30,441
- And I was told that... you're the person
- to involve in such a project.
- 151
- 00:17:30,601 --> 00:17:34,241
- - Do you come here often?
- - No, I...
- 152
- 00:17:34,401 --> 00:17:37,801
- Then we can continue our talk
- at some other point.
- 153
- 00:17:37,961 --> 00:17:42,081
- You must excuse me.
- I have a meeting.
- 154
- 00:17:45,641 --> 00:17:49,921
- He was right there!
- I've never seen anything like it.
- 155
- 00:17:50,081 --> 00:17:52,841
- His elegant clothes, his whole...
- 156
- 00:17:53,001 --> 00:17:56,601
- His is one of the richest families
- in the country. Stinking rich.
- 157
- 00:17:56,761 --> 00:17:59,561
- This could be the chance of a lifetime.
- 158
- 00:17:59,721 --> 00:18:02,561
- Mr. Engineer... Come here.
- 159
- 00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:09,641
- By the way, I was thinking...
- Could you lend me some money?
- 160
- 00:18:11,081 --> 00:18:14,641
- How do I know if I'll ever get it back?
- 161
- 00:18:16,681 --> 00:18:19,241
- You know you can trust me.
- 162
- 00:18:19,401 --> 00:18:26,401
- The thing is... I need to go back to
- the café, in case he shows up again.
- 163
- 00:18:26,561 --> 00:18:28,041
- It's important.
- 164
- 00:18:28,201 --> 00:18:32,281
- Have you considered,
- that if you and I joined forces...
- 165
- 00:18:33,441 --> 00:18:39,121
- ...and found a place to live,
- everything would be so much easier.
- 166
- 00:18:39,281 --> 00:18:42,121
- Yes. That's a great idea.
- 167
- 00:18:43,241 --> 00:18:46,721
- - So will you lend me the money?
- - Sure.
- 168
- 00:18:46,881 --> 00:18:52,881
- - You can have my tips from tonight.
- - Thank you.
- 169
- 00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:38,641
- - Merry Christmas.
- - Merry Christmas.
- 170
- 00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:44,041
- Merry Christmas.
- 171
- 00:19:47,841 --> 00:19:51,481
- This is what I could take home. The
- customers ate most of the red cabbage.
- 172
- 00:19:51,641 --> 00:19:53,801
- But there's plenty of roast pork.
- 173
- 00:19:53,961 --> 00:19:57,801
- And as many
- caramelised potatoes as you can eat.
- 174
- 00:20:00,681 --> 00:20:05,081
- To think,
- this is our first Christmas together.
- 175
- 00:20:05,241 --> 00:20:07,081
- Thank you.
- 176
- 00:20:12,121 --> 00:20:16,441
- I understand
- if you're thinking about your family.
- 177
- 00:20:16,601 --> 00:20:21,281
- No, quite the opposite.
- I was thinking about Ivan Salomon.
- 178
- 00:20:22,201 --> 00:20:24,681
- Sometimes, I wish I were rich.
- 179
- 00:20:24,841 --> 00:20:28,321
- Yes, but you aren't, Lisbeth.
- And you never will be.
- 180
- 00:20:28,481 --> 00:20:30,201
- But what if I was?
- 181
- 00:20:30,361 --> 00:20:34,081
- I would donate all the money
- to your project.
- 182
- 00:20:34,241 --> 00:20:36,961
- I completely forgot...
- 183
- 00:20:48,401 --> 00:20:50,841
- - Cheers.
- - Cheers.
- 184
- 00:20:52,161 --> 00:20:54,841
- To you and me.
- 185
- 00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:19,001
- Mr. Sidenius! There you are!
- 186
- 00:21:20,921 --> 00:21:23,641
- Come and sit down.
- 187
- 00:21:23,801 --> 00:21:27,721
- I've asked my friends from The College
- of Advanced Technology about you.
- 188
- 00:21:27,881 --> 00:21:31,121
- - Are you hungry?
- - No, I...
- 189
- 00:21:31,281 --> 00:21:35,921
- - Caviar and champagne, please!
- - Yes, sir.
- 190
- 00:21:36,081 --> 00:21:39,321
- Well, Mr. Sidenius... Sit down.
- 191
- 00:21:41,241 --> 00:21:45,601
- Sit down
- and tell me about your project.
- 192
- 00:21:48,361 --> 00:21:49,601
- Well...
- 193
- 00:21:49,761 --> 00:21:52,481
- Society needs someone like you.
- 194
- 00:21:52,641 --> 00:21:57,001
- Someone who proves that the unique
- and ground-breaking is possible.
- 195
- 00:21:57,161 --> 00:22:01,761
- I'm currently calculating the required
- water flow proportionate to acreage.
- 196
- 00:22:01,921 --> 00:22:05,561
- How to connect
- streams and lakes via canals.
- 197
- 00:22:05,721 --> 00:22:10,641
- You create an irrigation system
- and utilise uncultivated meadows.
- 198
- 00:22:10,801 --> 00:22:14,481
- - At the same time...
- - Please stop, Mr. Sidenius.
- 199
- 00:22:14,641 --> 00:22:19,321
- Come to my house for dinner. I want
- my father to hear your brilliant ideas.
- 200
- 00:22:19,481 --> 00:22:22,041
- - But...
- - Let's be on first name terms.
- 201
- 00:22:22,201 --> 00:22:24,161
- - Ivan.
- - Peter Andreas.
- 202
- 00:22:24,321 --> 00:22:26,641
- The project must be submitted to -
- 203
- 00:22:26,801 --> 00:22:29,761
- - Engineer Colonel Bjerregrav
- from the Danish Society of Engineers.
- 204
- 00:22:29,921 --> 00:22:34,921
- He can recommend it to the ministry,
- which in turn can endorse it.
- 205
- 00:22:35,921 --> 00:22:40,641
- You're a bit of
- a world conqueror. You're truly...
- 206
- 00:22:41,641 --> 00:22:44,921
- ...a fortunate man.
- 207
- 00:22:46,241 --> 00:22:50,961
- I'm sorry I'm late. I was busy
- securing our family's future.
- 208
- 00:22:51,121 --> 00:22:53,521
- You're drunk!
- 209
- 00:22:53,681 --> 00:22:58,081
- Let me introduce you to
- my sister Nanny. This is Mr. Sidenius.
- 210
- 00:22:58,241 --> 00:23:01,641
- Mr. Sidenius studies engineering,
- but is already a genius.
- 211
- 00:23:01,801 --> 00:23:05,921
- Well, I never!
- What does being a genius feel like?
- 212
- 00:23:06,921 --> 00:23:08,321
- Eh...
- 213
- 00:23:12,601 --> 00:23:15,401
- Are you just going to stand there?
- 214
- 00:23:15,561 --> 00:23:19,201
- Be careful, you don't freeze to the spot
- and turn into a lamppost.
- 215
- 00:23:19,361 --> 00:23:21,521
- I live in that direction.
- 216
- 00:23:21,681 --> 00:23:25,161
- I've invited Mr. Sidenius
- to dinner on Sunday.
- 217
- 00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:28,081
- Well, I'll see you then, Mr. Genius.
- 218
- 00:23:28,241 --> 00:23:31,761
- Remember to turn your feet around,
- if you're going in the other direction.
- 219
- 00:23:38,241 --> 00:23:44,241
- Don't forget to submit the project
- to the Engineer Colonel! It's crucial!
- 220
- 00:23:54,201 --> 00:23:55,561
- Hello.
- 221
- 00:23:55,721 --> 00:24:00,401
- I wish to hand this project
- to the Engineer Colonel himself.
- 222
- 00:24:00,561 --> 00:24:02,881
- The Engineer Colonel
- is in a meeting.
- 223
- 00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:05,201
- But if you give me the drawings -
- 224
- 00:24:05,361 --> 00:24:08,561
- - we'll contact you when
- the Engineer Colonel has seen them.
- 225
- 00:24:08,721 --> 00:24:12,841
- Are you sure...?
- I was thinking perhaps...
- 226
- 00:24:13,961 --> 00:24:16,561
- - Right.
- - Thank you.
- 227
- 00:24:16,721 --> 00:24:22,481
- - Will he look at all those drawings?
- - Yes.
- 228
- 00:24:23,481 --> 00:24:25,201
- Thank you.
- 229
- 00:24:31,721 --> 00:24:33,761
- There we go...
- 230
- 00:24:34,761 --> 00:24:39,121
- And, if you don't mind,
- I'll just pull out your cuff.
- 231
- 00:24:39,281 --> 00:24:43,321
- There we go.
- And the other one.
- 232
- 00:24:43,481 --> 00:24:47,361
- You've probably wondered about
- the condition of my clothes.
- 233
- 00:24:47,521 --> 00:24:52,361
- You see, I've just returned from
- a long stay in Panama -
- 234
- 00:24:52,521 --> 00:24:55,721
- - where I oversaw construction
- of a large canal system.
- 235
- 00:24:55,881 --> 00:24:57,841
- - Quite dangerous, I'm sure.
- - Indeed.
- 236
- 00:24:58,001 --> 00:25:02,401
- - This is for you.
- - Thank you.
- 237
- 00:25:02,561 --> 00:25:05,441
- Well...
- 238
- 00:25:05,601 --> 00:25:08,641
- That's impossible...
- 239
- 00:25:09,881 --> 00:25:13,721
- I think I left my wallet at the hotel.
- 240
- 00:25:16,041 --> 00:25:18,041
- I'm sorry.
- 241
- 00:25:18,201 --> 00:25:21,321
- Why don't I send
- my chauffeur over with the money?
- 242
- 00:25:21,481 --> 00:25:24,761
- He'll be here within the hour.
- Good day to you.
- 243
- 00:25:24,921 --> 00:25:28,401
- You cannot leave
- the shop without paying.
- 244
- 00:25:28,561 --> 00:25:32,041
- Are you accusing me
- of being a fraudster?
- 245
- 00:25:32,201 --> 00:25:34,841
- Do you know who I am?
- 246
- 00:25:43,601 --> 00:25:48,601
- Hello. My name is Peter Andreas
- Sidenius. I have an appointment.
- 247
- 00:25:48,761 --> 00:25:50,961
- Welcome inside.
- 248
- 00:25:51,961 --> 00:25:55,121
- - Let me take your hat.
- - Thank you.
- 249
- 00:25:57,281 --> 00:25:59,681
- Follow me.
- 250
- 00:26:08,761 --> 00:26:11,041
- Please have a seat here.
- 251
- 00:26:36,161 --> 00:26:40,881
- Managing director Delft.
- I'm the uncle of the family.
- 252
- 00:26:41,041 --> 00:26:44,641
- - Sidenius.
- - Ah, the young engineer!
- 253
- 00:26:44,801 --> 00:26:50,401
- My nephew told me about you.
- A fortunate man, he calls you.
- 254
- 00:26:50,561 --> 00:26:54,601
- Not a very flattering name
- in my opinion. What is it they say...?
- 255
- 00:26:54,761 --> 00:26:58,401
- Fortune favours fools.
- 256
- 00:26:58,561 --> 00:27:02,041
- - May I sit down?
- - Please.
- 257
- 00:27:12,521 --> 00:27:16,401
- My niece is very agreeable,
- don't you think, Mr. Sidenius?
- 258
- 00:27:16,561 --> 00:27:20,081
- Miss Salomon is beautiful.
- 259
- 00:27:20,241 --> 00:27:23,281
- Very beautiful.
- 260
- 00:27:23,441 --> 00:27:27,241
- She is certainly not a common girl.
- 261
- 00:27:27,401 --> 00:27:32,481
- And I can assure you, she attracts
- a large number of young men.
- 262
- 00:27:33,521 --> 00:27:36,961
- What beauty is capable of!
- 263
- 00:27:37,121 --> 00:27:41,161
- Besides, my brother-in-law
- Philip Salomon is not without means.
- 264
- 00:27:41,321 --> 00:27:46,561
- Because money, Mr. Sidenius,
- is a magnetic force.
- 265
- 00:27:46,721 --> 00:27:51,321
- Those little pieces of metal
- evoke the deepest human emotions -
- 266
- 00:27:51,481 --> 00:27:57,321
- - and the noblest
- excitement of the heart. Am I not right?
- 267
- 00:27:57,481 --> 00:28:01,641
- Well...
- Let's say hello to the family.
- 268
- 00:28:17,641 --> 00:28:19,401
- Thank you.
- 269
- 00:28:22,401 --> 00:28:26,121
- There you are!
- You are anxiously awaited.
- 270
- 00:28:29,561 --> 00:28:31,561
- Father?
- 271
- 00:28:31,721 --> 00:28:35,361
- This is Mr. Sidenius,
- who I told you about.
- 272
- 00:28:35,521 --> 00:28:37,881
- - Welcome.
- - Thank you.
- 273
- 00:28:38,041 --> 00:28:42,121
- - This is my mother.
- - Welcome.
- 274
- 00:28:43,321 --> 00:28:47,841
- You have a very
- beautiful house, Mr. Salomon.
- 275
- 00:28:48,001 --> 00:28:50,481
- And the wine is exquisite.
- 276
- 00:28:50,641 --> 00:28:55,641
- And the ladies...
- You're surrounded by beautiful ladies.
- 277
- 00:28:55,801 --> 00:29:02,001
- Cheers, Mr. Salomon,
- and thank you for letting me visit.
- 278
- 00:29:05,881 --> 00:29:08,961
- This is my oldest sister, Jakobe.
- 279
- 00:29:12,161 --> 00:29:13,681
- - Hello.
- - Hello.
- 280
- 00:29:17,921 --> 00:29:22,361
- Maybe you could tell us
- about your project, Per?
- 281
- 00:29:22,521 --> 00:29:25,001
- My father is curious to hear.
- 282
- 00:29:25,161 --> 00:29:31,041
- My starting point is...
- As modern society evolves -
- 283
- 00:29:31,201 --> 00:29:34,601
- - the access to energy sources
- will be crucial.
- 284
- 00:29:34,761 --> 00:29:39,561
- And he who holds the key to supply,
- also holds the key to the future.
- 285
- 00:29:39,721 --> 00:29:44,441
- We must break away from coal-based
- energy, which won't last forever -
- 286
- 00:29:44,601 --> 00:29:51,241
- - and instead harness the massive force
- and energy which is found in nature.
- 287
- 00:29:51,401 --> 00:29:53,241
- Yes.
- 288
- 00:29:53,401 --> 00:29:55,081
- Please continue.
- 289
- 00:29:57,641 --> 00:30:02,441
- Let's look at
- the infinite rows of waves -
- 290
- 00:30:02,601 --> 00:30:05,681
- - that discharge their roaring power
- on the coast every day.
- 291
- 00:30:05,841 --> 00:30:10,201
- Why not harness that power?
- 292
- 00:30:10,361 --> 00:30:15,281
- I want to accumulate that power
- and connect it to huge turbines -
- 293
- 00:30:15,441 --> 00:30:18,681
- - so that electricity can be sent out
- to the whole country via cables.
- 294
- 00:30:18,841 --> 00:30:24,401
- The same goes for windmills. All that
- untapped, restless wind which...
- 295
- 00:30:25,401 --> 00:30:30,321
- ...whistles through the country, can be
- harnessed and be of benefit to everyone.
- 296
- 00:30:31,881 --> 00:30:37,081
- Imagine, Mr. Salomon, whole cities
- with houses and long streets -
- 297
- 00:30:37,241 --> 00:30:41,441
- - railway stations and factories,
- all illuminated by electric light -
- 298
- 00:30:41,601 --> 00:30:45,321
- - which we've harvested
- from the wind and the sea.
- 299
- 00:30:45,481 --> 00:30:50,081
- You also mentioned something about
- a new, international seaport.
- 300
- 00:30:50,241 --> 00:30:54,281
- - If you imagine a Danish Venice...
- - Thank you. That's splendid.
- 301
- 00:30:54,441 --> 00:30:58,361
- And quite expensive, I imagine.
- 302
- 00:30:58,521 --> 00:31:03,401
- How do you imagine
- implementing this project?
- 303
- 00:31:03,561 --> 00:31:08,041
- The drawings have been handed to
- Engineer Colonel Bjerregrav.
- 304
- 00:31:08,201 --> 00:31:11,441
- Father knows him.
- So fingers crossed.
- 305
- 00:31:14,721 --> 00:31:16,721
- Goodnight.
- 306
- 00:31:20,761 --> 00:31:25,681
- Your friend's ideas are fascinating.
- But he seems like a dreamer.
- 307
- 00:31:25,841 --> 00:31:30,201
- He may be immature,
- but he's an intelligent man.
- 308
- 00:31:30,361 --> 00:31:33,281
- I was particularly impressed by
- his predictions -
- 309
- 00:31:33,441 --> 00:31:38,521
- - that he who controls the energy,
- holds the power and money.
- 310
- 00:31:38,681 --> 00:31:41,921
- But is he someone we want
- to be acquainted with?
- 311
- 00:31:42,081 --> 00:31:45,161
- Doesn't he seem a bit disingenuous?
- 312
- 00:31:46,161 --> 00:31:49,121
- What's that word...?
- A scatterbrain.
- 313
- 00:31:49,281 --> 00:31:54,561
- I found him to be boorish.
- Did you see how much he had to drink?
- 314
- 00:31:54,721 --> 00:31:58,321
- Yes, he seemed slightly ill-mannered.
- 315
- 00:31:58,481 --> 00:32:02,361
- In his defence,
- remember that he grew up poor.
- 316
- 00:32:02,521 --> 00:32:04,081
- The son of a clergyman.
- 317
- 00:32:04,241 --> 00:32:09,281
- It's sad to see how being poor
- leaves ugly scars on a person.
- 318
- 00:32:09,441 --> 00:32:12,321
- And he wasn't as handsome
- as you said, Nanny.
- 319
- 00:32:12,481 --> 00:32:18,241
- I find him unusually handsome.
- I find him totally magnificent.
- 320
- 00:32:18,401 --> 00:32:20,241
- Magnificent?
- 321
- 00:33:04,561 --> 00:33:09,241
- The Engineer Colonel
- will see you now, Mr. Sidenius.
- 322
- 00:33:18,961 --> 00:33:23,521
- Excuse me,
- are you the engineer Sidenius?
- 323
- 00:33:23,681 --> 00:33:27,401
- - Yes.
- - Good God! You're so young!
- 324
- 00:33:28,921 --> 00:33:31,481
- Well, let's talk about it.
- 325
- 00:33:31,641 --> 00:33:35,521
- I find your idea of hydroelectric
- turbines to be utter madness.
- 326
- 00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:40,961
- But some of your solutions
- in wind power seem quite sensible.
- 327
- 00:33:41,121 --> 00:33:45,801
- How did you ever come up with
- this preposterous project?
- 328
- 00:33:45,961 --> 00:33:49,961
- I have spent the past year on it.
- 329
- 00:33:50,121 --> 00:33:54,401
- But it's something I've been thinking
- about ever since I was a boy.
- 330
- 00:33:54,561 --> 00:33:57,361
- Are these your drawings?
- Let's have a look.
- 331
- 00:33:57,521 --> 00:34:02,721
- I'd like you to elaborate on the
- control system for fiords and canals.
- 332
- 00:34:02,881 --> 00:34:06,921
- - Please speak in a clear voice.
- - Yes, sir.
- 333
- 00:34:07,081 --> 00:34:13,361
- I want to construct a control system
- for harbours and fiords in Jutland.
- 334
- 00:34:13,521 --> 00:34:15,761
- This would enable
- faster waterborne travel -
- 335
- 00:34:15,921 --> 00:34:19,281
- - which could turn Denmark into
- a modern industrial nation.
- 336
- 00:34:19,441 --> 00:34:22,681
- I want to move shipping traffic
- out of Copenhagen.
- 337
- 00:34:22,841 --> 00:34:27,121
- A free port here would never become
- a centre for world trade -
- 338
- 00:34:27,281 --> 00:34:31,321
- - as the location of the city makes it
- hard-to-reach for international vessels.
- 339
- 00:34:31,481 --> 00:34:34,121
- I want to establish
- a large port on the west coast -
- 340
- 00:34:34,281 --> 00:34:38,241
- - which would enable us to compete
- with Hamburg and Bremen.
- 341
- 00:34:39,321 --> 00:34:44,321
- It would be a kind of
- a Venice of the North.
- 342
- 00:34:44,481 --> 00:34:47,481
- You are of a fortunate age.
- 343
- 00:34:47,641 --> 00:34:51,921
- And speaking of which, young man,
- posture. Straighten your back.
- 344
- 00:34:52,081 --> 00:34:54,881
- Let's meet again in a week.
- 345
- 00:35:01,281 --> 00:35:05,321
- - Am I dismissed?
- - Excuse me?
- 346
- 00:35:05,481 --> 00:35:09,681
- What a blithering fool!
- Authoritarian jerk!
- 347
- 00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:15,361
- "Posture, young man!
- Straighten your back!" I know the tune.
- 348
- 00:35:15,521 --> 00:35:21,321
- Clean nails, say grace, don't whistle,
- have nice table manners. I feel sick.
- 349
- 00:35:21,481 --> 00:35:23,641
- But he asked me
- to come back in a week.
- 350
- 00:35:23,801 --> 00:35:27,401
- It's half a victory.
- We must celebrate.
- 351
- 00:35:27,561 --> 00:35:31,761
- Champagne?
- And caviar, of course.
- 352
- 00:35:31,921 --> 00:35:34,961
- - Yes...
- - Let's join the family.
- 353
- 00:35:41,761 --> 00:35:47,081
- What's wrong? This is one of
- the best restaurants in town.
- 354
- 00:35:48,441 --> 00:35:50,481
- Of course...
- 355
- 00:35:52,201 --> 00:35:55,801
- My sister Jakobe's fiancée, Eybert.
- 356
- 00:35:55,961 --> 00:36:01,281
- ...especially since
- the girls' mother died, I couldn't...
- 357
- 00:36:01,441 --> 00:36:07,921
- I don't understand what she sees in him.
- All clocks stop when he enters a room.
- 358
- 00:36:08,081 --> 00:36:12,801
- He's a widower, and his children
- must appeal to her protectiveness.
- 359
- 00:36:12,961 --> 00:36:16,761
- But I do understand
- what he sees in her.
- 360
- 00:36:16,921 --> 00:36:20,721
- She's the oldest sister and therefore
- the one who will inherit the most.
- 361
- 00:36:25,081 --> 00:36:28,881
- I made a point of being careful.
- 362
- 00:36:29,041 --> 00:36:30,881
- Mr. Eybert.
- 363
- 00:36:32,001 --> 00:36:34,081
- Hello. Peter Andreas.
- 364
- 00:36:35,681 --> 00:36:38,441
- It's lovely to see you again.
- 365
- 00:36:39,841 --> 00:36:46,921
- Yes, so that was really something.
- That's when I founded the company -
- 366
- 00:36:47,081 --> 00:36:51,201
- - which is now
- one of the largest in the country -
- 367
- 00:36:51,361 --> 00:36:55,121
- - in the field of sewerage products.
- 368
- 00:37:04,561 --> 00:37:06,081
- Gentlemen. Ladies.
- 369
- 00:37:06,241 --> 00:37:09,841
- We were thinking caviar and
- champagne, what do you think?
- 370
- 00:37:10,001 --> 00:37:11,761
- - Yes.
- - Yes.
- 371
- 00:37:11,921 --> 00:37:14,321
- What's on the menu?
- 372
- 00:37:14,481 --> 00:37:17,121
- Trout roe and quails' eggs
- served on a bed of ice -
- 373
- 00:37:17,281 --> 00:37:22,161
- - followed by wildfowl and asparagus,
- omelette and cheese with celery -
- 374
- 00:37:22,321 --> 00:37:24,241
- - and for dessert, fruit.
- 375
- 00:37:24,401 --> 00:37:26,081
- We'll take it all.
- 376
- 00:37:27,081 --> 00:37:30,721
- - Please serve the champagne now.
- - Yes, sir.
- 377
- 00:37:34,281 --> 00:37:37,041
- Per visited
- Engineer Colonel Bjerregrav today.
- 378
- 00:37:37,201 --> 00:37:42,761
- He more or less authorised the project.
- He is a terribly officious person.
- 379
- 00:37:42,921 --> 00:37:47,441
- "Speak clearly! Straighten your back."
- No, you do it much better than me.
- 380
- 00:37:47,601 --> 00:37:50,121
- - What did he say?
- - No, no.
- 381
- 00:37:50,281 --> 00:37:52,481
- Please excuse me.
- 382
- 00:37:52,641 --> 00:37:57,041
- Still a bag of nerves?
- It's the last door on the right.
- 383
- 00:38:00,641 --> 00:38:04,081
- - Hello.
- - Distinguished company.
- 384
- 00:38:04,241 --> 00:38:08,401
- I almost didn't recognise you.
- And such classy ladies.
- 385
- 00:38:08,561 --> 00:38:11,001
- The young man must be Ivan?
- 386
- 00:38:11,161 --> 00:38:16,481
- Exactly. And therefore, can we please
- pretend we don't know each other?
- 387
- 00:38:19,241 --> 00:38:22,361
- - Am I not classy enough?
- - Yes, of course.
- 388
- 00:38:22,521 --> 00:38:25,041
- But this is important to me.
- 389
- 00:38:25,201 --> 00:38:29,881
- It's important to my career,
- so if his family discovered...
- 390
- 00:38:30,881 --> 00:38:33,321
- ...this thing about us...
- 391
- 00:38:33,481 --> 00:38:38,481
- Please, just pretend
- you've never seen me before.
- 392
- 00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:08,441
- In essence, I want to harness
- the forces of nature.
- 393
- 00:39:09,801 --> 00:39:12,321
- Of course,
- without exploiting them ruthlessly.
- 394
- 00:39:12,481 --> 00:39:14,961
- This applies to
- the hydroelectric system -
- 395
- 00:39:15,121 --> 00:39:20,921
- - and the canal system which will
- connect all the corners of the country.
- 396
- 00:39:21,081 --> 00:39:24,921
- Let me ask you a question, Mr. Sidenius.
- 397
- 00:39:25,081 --> 00:39:26,161
- By all means.
- 398
- 00:39:26,321 --> 00:39:28,841
- I'm curious...
- 399
- 00:39:29,841 --> 00:39:33,881
- You're studying for
- an engineering degree, right?
- 400
- 00:39:34,041 --> 00:39:35,401
- Yes.
- 401
- 00:39:35,561 --> 00:39:40,241
- How come that a young man
- such as yourself, who, I'm told -
- 402
- 00:39:40,401 --> 00:39:44,561
- - hails from
- several generations of clergymen -
- 403
- 00:39:44,721 --> 00:39:48,081
- - chooses a technological path?
- 404
- 00:39:51,801 --> 00:39:54,521
- - You don't care for my profession?
- - Yes.
- 405
- 00:39:54,681 --> 00:39:58,481
- It just seems so antagonistic.
- 406
- 00:39:58,641 --> 00:40:01,881
- - Science versus faith.
- - Exactly.
- 407
- 00:40:02,041 --> 00:40:05,561
- But is that contradictory?
- 408
- 00:40:05,721 --> 00:40:11,881
- Consider how important engineering
- has proved to be to humanity.
- 409
- 00:40:12,041 --> 00:40:18,721
- I mean, how it has shortened distances
- between people via the railway.
- 410
- 00:40:18,881 --> 00:40:20,761
- And the telegraph.
- 411
- 00:40:20,921 --> 00:40:26,121
- Not to mention that we might one day
- have machines that fly.
- 412
- 00:40:26,281 --> 00:40:30,681
- Consider how it can eliminate
- differences between people -
- 413
- 00:40:30,841 --> 00:40:34,521
- - and thus become the final step -
- 414
- 00:40:34,681 --> 00:40:40,281
- - towards our vision of
- global brotherly understanding.
- 415
- 00:40:40,441 --> 00:40:43,801
- Isn't that an exaggeration?
- 416
- 00:40:43,961 --> 00:40:49,161
- I'm convinced that free movement
- can break down prejudice -
- 417
- 00:40:49,321 --> 00:40:53,721
- - and create a regenerated,
- just society -
- 418
- 00:40:53,881 --> 00:40:59,521
- - where the individual will be able to
- live as a free and independent person.
- 419
- 00:41:01,241 --> 00:41:03,401
- I wonder...
- 420
- 00:41:17,961 --> 00:41:25,161
- I must admit to never thinking about my
- profession in such a magnanimous way.
- 421
- 00:41:28,161 --> 00:41:31,521
- Would you care for
- some water, Miss Salomon?
- 422
- 00:41:31,681 --> 00:41:33,961
- Thank you.
- 423
- 00:42:03,881 --> 00:42:10,921
- - Ivan, you should hear this.
- - Please, Doctor, tell me.
- 424
- 00:42:59,721 --> 00:43:06,001
- May I, Miss Salomon? I wish we'd
- had the chance to talk a bit sooner.
- 425
- 00:43:06,161 --> 00:43:11,401
- Please don't misunderstand,
- but your wise words were so enriching.
- 426
- 00:43:11,561 --> 00:43:17,441
- In fact, visiting this house
- is an altogether enriching experience.
- 427
- 00:43:17,601 --> 00:43:20,641
- Although I cannot deny feeling a bit...
- 428
- 00:43:22,241 --> 00:43:24,361
- ...inferior.
- 429
- 00:43:24,521 --> 00:43:31,561
- I'm not used to
- the open and free habits of your family.
- 430
- 00:43:31,721 --> 00:43:37,601
- Or rather, the way you're preoccupied
- with the events of the world -
- 431
- 00:43:37,761 --> 00:43:42,201
- - as something you can learn from.
- That's different from my family.
- 432
- 00:43:42,361 --> 00:43:47,041
- We began and ended the day
- by turning away from the world -
- 433
- 00:43:47,201 --> 00:43:49,561
- - singing hymns and praying.
- 434
- 00:43:54,361 --> 00:44:01,441
- Can you imagine that just being
- beautiful and well-dressed like you -
- 435
- 00:44:01,601 --> 00:44:05,081
- - would be considered dishonest to God?
- 436
- 00:44:06,681 --> 00:44:10,161
- When I think of
- my childhood home...
- 437
- 00:44:11,361 --> 00:44:14,441
- ...there's always a feeling of shame.
- 438
- 00:44:15,641 --> 00:44:18,201
- And eeriness.
- 439
- 00:44:20,601 --> 00:44:24,201
- I appreciate your honesty, Mr. Sidenius.
- 440
- 00:44:54,401 --> 00:44:56,281
- You haven't paid rent.
- 441
- 00:44:56,441 --> 00:45:01,441
- - You will have your money shortly.
- - A gentleman is waiting in your room.
- 442
- 00:45:02,881 --> 00:45:05,601
- - Did he give a name?
- - He didn't look very pleasant.
- 443
- 00:45:05,761 --> 00:45:07,681
- And remember to pay the rent!
- 444
- 00:45:21,321 --> 00:45:22,801
- Eberhardt?
- 445
- 00:45:22,961 --> 00:45:28,121
- I apologise, but the caretaker
- said you'd be back shortly.
- 446
- 00:45:31,241 --> 00:45:36,001
- - I've been home for a few days.
- - I see.
- 447
- 00:45:36,161 --> 00:45:39,961
- Father has suddenly been taken ill.
- 448
- 00:45:40,121 --> 00:45:44,721
- The doctor thinks
- it's most likely cancer.
- 449
- 00:45:45,721 --> 00:45:50,521
- I thought you should know.
- We, that is all your siblings...
- 450
- 00:45:51,521 --> 00:45:55,761
- We thought that
- when you learned of Father's illness -
- 451
- 00:45:55,921 --> 00:45:59,601
- - you might feel encouraged to -
- 452
- 00:45:59,761 --> 00:46:04,521
- - or rather feel the need
- to seek rapprochement.
- 453
- 00:46:04,681 --> 00:46:06,681
- What do you mean?
- 454
- 00:46:06,841 --> 00:46:14,081
- - Can you continue to justify...
- - Don't interfere in my affairs.
- 455
- 00:46:17,961 --> 00:46:23,321
- Right! I see that I'm wasting my time
- trying to talk sense to you.
- 456
- 00:46:25,441 --> 00:46:29,121
- - As you please.
- - There's something you should know.
- 457
- 00:46:29,281 --> 00:46:33,321
- Although your stubbornness
- prevents you from accepting it -
- 458
- 00:46:33,481 --> 00:46:37,241
- - Father is more concerned with you
- than with anyone else.
- 459
- 00:46:37,401 --> 00:46:39,321
- He speaks of you every day.
- 460
- 00:46:40,321 --> 00:46:43,121
- They've given up
- trying to talk you round.
- 461
- 00:46:44,281 --> 00:46:49,281
- Instead, they're hoping that someday,
- life will change your mind -
- 462
- 00:46:49,441 --> 00:46:55,321
- - so you will realise how much
- you owe them, and repent and reconcile.
- 463
- 00:46:55,481 --> 00:47:00,441
- Owe? Repent? Sin?
- I've heard that before.
- 464
- 00:47:00,601 --> 00:47:04,841
- How vulgar to use Father's illness
- to lure me back.
- 465
- 00:47:06,041 --> 00:47:10,761
- You want me to subject to you
- because you cannot tolerate -
- 466
- 00:47:10,921 --> 00:47:15,521
- - that I might be doing well
- outside of your world. I am!
- 467
- 00:47:15,681 --> 00:47:20,161
- Tell the man who calls himself
- my father, that I owe him nothing!
- 468
- 00:47:20,321 --> 00:47:23,961
- He took my childhood.
- That's enough!
- 469
- 00:47:38,001 --> 00:47:39,721
- What are you staring at?
- 470
- 00:47:42,401 --> 00:47:44,961
- You think you'll be proven right?
- 471
- 00:47:57,361 --> 00:48:01,241
- At closer examination, I've found
- your project to be of no value.
- 472
- 00:48:01,401 --> 00:48:05,561
- It's too immature. Besides,
- you're too young to accomplish it.
- 473
- 00:48:05,721 --> 00:48:12,201
- You haven't yet graduated.
- Your name is Sidenius?
- 474
- 00:48:12,361 --> 00:48:15,961
- Are you related to
- the renowned clergyman?
- 475
- 00:48:19,481 --> 00:48:25,281
- I don't see how that's relevant?
- Can you tell me...
- 476
- 00:48:26,281 --> 00:48:28,641
- ...why you changed
- your mind about my project?
- 477
- 00:48:28,801 --> 00:48:31,921
- I apologise if I raised your hopes.
- 478
- 00:48:32,081 --> 00:48:36,361
- I'm certain that by turning you down,
- I'm doing you a favour.
- 479
- 00:48:36,521 --> 00:48:37,521
- A favour?
- 480
- 00:48:37,681 --> 00:48:43,001
- Your theory of hydroelectric turbines,
- windmills and canals is simply...
- 481
- 00:48:43,161 --> 00:48:46,401
- ...too naive. Too juvenile!
- 482
- 00:48:48,641 --> 00:48:54,881
- The only possibility the project has
- of coming into consideration -
- 483
- 00:48:55,041 --> 00:48:58,961
- - would be if I myself got involved.
- 484
- 00:49:04,761 --> 00:49:08,641
- That is out of the question.
- 485
- 00:49:12,121 --> 00:49:13,961
- Indeed.
- 486
- 00:49:14,121 --> 00:49:18,921
- Well, that means that the case,
- as far as I'm concerned, is closed.
- 487
- 00:49:21,601 --> 00:49:24,121
- Thank you for coming. That'll be all.
- 488
- 00:49:25,361 --> 00:49:29,961
- As a former soldier,
- perhaps you could tell me -
- 489
- 00:49:30,121 --> 00:49:35,041
- - precisely how humble you expect me to
- be, before you will endorse my project?
- 490
- 00:49:36,041 --> 00:49:37,881
- Have you lost your mind?
- 491
- 00:49:38,041 --> 00:49:42,681
- Please understand that this is
- my final refusal. And please leave!
- 492
- 00:49:42,841 --> 00:49:46,641
- - You will regret this.
- - Are you threatening me?
- 493
- 00:49:46,801 --> 00:49:52,961
- If I had known what a pig-headed,
- narrow-minded old fool you are -
- 494
- 00:49:53,121 --> 00:49:55,801
- - I would have never
- submitted myself to this insult.
- 495
- 00:49:55,961 --> 00:49:58,081
- Goodbye!
- 496
- 00:50:07,801 --> 00:50:10,321
- Where have you been?
- What are you eating?
- 497
- 00:50:11,761 --> 00:50:15,361
- Sewage water?
- Waiter!
- 498
- 00:50:15,521 --> 00:50:18,361
- I told you
- to ask uncle Delft for a loan.
- 499
- 00:50:18,521 --> 00:50:22,601
- It's nice of you, Ivan,
- but it doesn't matter anymore.
- 500
- 00:50:22,761 --> 00:50:27,841
- - What do you mean?
- - Bjerregrav turned down my project.
- 501
- 00:50:28,841 --> 00:50:31,321
- He mocked my life's work.
- 502
- 00:50:32,321 --> 00:50:38,961
- You're too young, Per. Your ideas are
- too extreme. You must go abroad.
- 503
- 00:50:39,121 --> 00:50:42,121
- My father is in touch with a large
- engineering company in Austria -
- 504
- 00:50:42,281 --> 00:50:46,401
- - which is involved in dam and
- canal projects. Professor Pfefferkorn.
- 505
- 00:50:46,561 --> 00:50:48,801
- They would like you
- to come work for them.
- 506
- 00:50:48,961 --> 00:50:53,921
- Listen to me!
- You need to get away from Denmark.
- 507
- 00:50:54,081 --> 00:50:57,721
- Away from roast pork,
- mediocrity and Bjerregrav.
- 508
- 00:50:57,881 --> 00:51:00,121
- Go forth into the world.
- 509
- 00:51:00,281 --> 00:51:05,521
- Find inspiration, get a chance
- to show yourself and your project.
- 510
- 00:51:05,681 --> 00:51:11,841
- Cheer up! Show them who you are.
- Show them that you're a fortunate man.
- 511
- 00:51:12,001 --> 00:51:14,201
- You promised to visit us
- at the country house.
- 512
- 00:51:14,361 --> 00:51:19,401
- - I know, but I can't...
- - Stop it. It's exactly what you need!
- 513
- 00:51:19,561 --> 00:51:21,761
- The whole family will be there.
- 514
- 00:51:22,841 --> 00:51:26,521
- Both my sisters will be there.
- Both of them!
- 515
- 00:51:37,441 --> 00:51:41,121
- Upon my word! Mr. Sidenius.
- 516
- 00:51:42,521 --> 00:51:45,841
- - Miss Nanny.
- - Oh, stop it!
- 517
- 00:51:51,121 --> 00:51:54,441
- - Miss Jakobe.
- - Mr. Sidenius.
- 518
- 00:51:58,881 --> 00:52:02,161
- Let me welcome
- the young genius to our holiday home.
- 519
- 00:52:03,321 --> 00:52:05,801
- I hope the train was on time.
- 520
- 00:52:05,961 --> 00:52:10,601
- There's just one thing,
- before the others join us.
- 521
- 00:52:10,761 --> 00:52:13,721
- Please, sit down.
- 522
- 00:52:13,881 --> 00:52:16,081
- Thank you, Ivan.
- 523
- 00:52:18,161 --> 00:52:22,761
- The money will be transferred
- on the first of every month.
- 524
- 00:52:22,921 --> 00:52:26,321
- And please keep track of all expenses.
- 525
- 00:52:27,321 --> 00:52:29,041
- Of course.
- 526
- 00:52:33,521 --> 00:52:40,041
- It's important that you stress to
- Mr. Salomon that I consider this a loan.
- 527
- 00:52:41,081 --> 00:52:46,521
- - Against the profit from my invention.
- - Duly noted.
- 528
- 00:52:49,121 --> 00:52:51,801
- Can I ask you
- a slightly tactless question?
- 529
- 00:52:51,961 --> 00:52:57,401
- I have noticed
- that Mr. Sidenius is changing lanes -
- 530
- 00:52:57,561 --> 00:52:59,961
- - as far as Salomon's daughters
- are concerned.
- 531
- 00:53:01,321 --> 00:53:07,441
- And that Mr. Sidenius is now courting
- my oldest niece, Jakobe.
- 532
- 00:53:11,881 --> 00:53:17,241
- It would be an impossible dream
- to court a woman with so many assets.
- 533
- 00:53:17,401 --> 00:53:19,681
- You mean the pecuniary assets?
- 534
- 00:53:20,881 --> 00:53:25,401
- - Excuse me? No, of course not.
- - Of course.
- 535
- 00:53:25,561 --> 00:53:29,521
- Please sign for the money on the line.
- 536
- 00:53:45,441 --> 00:53:47,441
- - Mother?
- - Yes?
- 537
- 00:53:47,601 --> 00:53:51,761
- Can we please precipitate
- my engagement to Eybert?
- 538
- 00:53:51,921 --> 00:53:53,641
- If you wish.
- 539
- 00:53:54,641 --> 00:53:59,361
- We feel great respect for Eybert.
- And he's from a good, Jewish family.
- 540
- 00:53:59,521 --> 00:54:03,081
- And Father knows
- his financial situation.
- 541
- 00:54:04,081 --> 00:54:06,001
- Are you sure you love him?
- 542
- 00:54:06,161 --> 00:54:11,641
- Mr. Eybert makes me feel secure.
- And we have wonderful conversations.
- 543
- 00:54:11,801 --> 00:54:18,001
- Besides, his daughters
- need a woman around.
- 544
- 00:54:18,161 --> 00:54:23,001
- Do you think that your friend
- would agree to -
- 545
- 00:54:23,161 --> 00:54:25,521
- - apologise to Mr. Bjerregrav?
- 546
- 00:54:28,081 --> 00:54:32,481
- Yes. And while you're at it,
- ask the Tsar of Russia to step down.
- 547
- 00:54:32,641 --> 00:54:35,841
- The responsibility of deciding
- the fate of such a visionary project -
- 548
- 00:54:36,001 --> 00:54:39,361
- - shouldn't fall on such a narrow-minded
- technocrat as Bjerregrav.
- 549
- 00:54:39,521 --> 00:54:41,801
- - I agree.
- - But surely...
- 550
- 00:54:41,961 --> 00:54:45,761
- From an investment
- and societal point of view -
- 551
- 00:54:45,921 --> 00:54:49,721
- - I'm very impressed with
- young Mr. Sidenius' ideas.
- 552
- 00:54:49,881 --> 00:54:54,641
- If we could harness the forces of nature
- that we thought to be an enemy...
- 553
- 00:54:54,801 --> 00:54:59,081
- But Bjerregrav needs
- to approve the project.
- 554
- 00:54:59,241 --> 00:55:02,841
- He's Denmark's
- official technical expert.
- 555
- 00:55:03,001 --> 00:55:08,321
- He's the only one who can recommend
- the project for governmental approval.
- 556
- 00:55:08,481 --> 00:55:12,801
- Father...
- What if you contacted Bjerregrav?
- 557
- 00:55:13,801 --> 00:55:17,561
- - Would that change his mind?
- - Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- 558
- 00:55:17,721 --> 00:55:22,801
- Let Per travel a bit. Go to Austria
- to meet Professor Pfefferkorn.
- 559
- 00:55:22,961 --> 00:55:28,841
- Then we can learn what he thinks of Per,
- and find out if the project is tenable.
- 560
- 00:56:49,921 --> 00:56:53,401
- That was impolite
- in the middle of that passionate song.
- 561
- 00:56:53,561 --> 00:56:56,361
- You haven't looked at me
- since you arrived!
- 562
- 00:56:56,521 --> 00:56:58,761
- I'm sorry.
- 563
- 00:56:58,921 --> 00:57:02,321
- Have you lost interest in me?
- 564
- 00:57:03,361 --> 00:57:07,441
- Is it because you find me
- childish and simple-minded?
- 565
- 00:57:07,601 --> 00:57:10,241
- Why would I do that?
- 566
- 00:57:10,401 --> 00:57:14,641
- I have plenty of other suitors,
- as you well know.
- 567
- 00:57:14,801 --> 00:57:17,721
- - I'm sure.
- - From better families than yours.
- 568
- 00:57:19,681 --> 00:57:22,481
- And with much more realistic plans.
- 569
- 00:57:24,521 --> 00:57:28,001
- Just be honest.
- Have you lost interest in me?
- 570
- 00:57:41,401 --> 00:57:43,241
- Excellent.
- 571
- 00:58:20,841 --> 00:58:25,721
- What do you want from me?
- Can't you just leave me alone?
- 572
- 00:58:28,281 --> 00:58:30,881
- Since we last spoke,
- I've thought of nothing but you.
- 573
- 00:58:31,041 --> 00:58:35,681
- Does your sense of tact not tell you
- to stay away from me?
- 574
- 00:58:35,841 --> 00:58:37,481
- No.
- 575
- 00:58:37,641 --> 00:58:43,241
- You have touched me in a way no one
- ever has. I need to know what you feel.
- 576
- 00:58:43,401 --> 00:58:45,681
- You're beautiful.
- 577
- 00:58:46,721 --> 00:58:51,401
- You're intelligent and rich, and I'm...
- I'm nothing.
- 578
- 00:58:51,561 --> 00:58:55,721
- I think you're overestimating
- how you feel about me.
- 579
- 00:58:55,881 --> 00:58:59,841
- I don't need to explain. My engagement
- to Eybert has been arranged.
- 580
- 00:59:44,281 --> 00:59:47,281
- Now, where have the children gone to?
- 581
- 00:59:47,441 --> 00:59:50,121
- They can stay here and play cards.
- 582
- 00:59:50,281 --> 00:59:55,201
- Where's Nanny?
- She knows we're going for a ride.
- 583
- 00:59:55,361 --> 00:59:59,121
- If she's upset, just leave her be.
- 584
- 01:00:06,521 --> 01:00:11,521
- Please move further along.
- Fine, then I'll do it.
- 585
- 01:00:31,881 --> 01:00:33,681
- Here you are.
- 586
- 01:00:41,721 --> 01:00:45,881
- This makes me think of the story of
- the young, Swedish student from Lund.
- 587
- 01:00:46,041 --> 01:00:49,601
- He made a bet that
- he could catch a stag on foot.
- 588
- 01:00:49,761 --> 01:00:54,721
- After an hour of running, he dropped
- down dead. His heart exploded.
- 589
- 01:00:54,881 --> 01:00:57,401
- Do you really believe that?
- 590
- 01:00:57,561 --> 01:01:01,041
- I heard it as a boy,
- and even then I didn't believe it.
- 591
- 01:01:01,201 --> 01:01:05,721
- - It sounds credible.
- - So you believe it, Mr. Sidenius?
- 592
- 01:01:07,001 --> 01:01:11,201
- I believe that a self-respecting man
- will accomplish what he sets out to do.
- 593
- 01:01:11,361 --> 01:01:13,481
- Whatever the cost.
- 594
- 01:01:13,641 --> 01:01:20,601
- The fact of the matter is that the deer
- is equipped with four gallopade legs.
- 595
- 01:01:20,761 --> 01:01:24,921
- It's not only about speed.
- It's about determination and stamina.
- 596
- 01:01:26,361 --> 01:01:29,961
- So you think determination
- exceeds the laws of nature?
- 597
- 01:01:30,121 --> 01:01:34,081
- I'm sorry to hear that you've lost faith
- in the power of determination.
- 598
- 01:01:34,241 --> 01:01:36,281
- What's your point?
- 599
- 01:01:36,441 --> 01:01:40,601
- Would you regain your faith
- in determination if you saw proof of it?
- 600
- 01:01:40,761 --> 01:01:44,521
- In that case, I'll do it right now.
- 601
- 01:01:54,481 --> 01:01:58,241
- Mr. Sidenius!
- Get back in the carriage!
- 602
- 01:01:58,401 --> 01:02:02,521
- Stretching one's legs is good for you.
- 603
- 01:02:02,681 --> 01:02:05,841
- Besides, think what it
- could do for Denmark -
- 604
- 01:02:06,001 --> 01:02:10,841
- - if a member of Parliament
- regained his faith in determination.
- 605
- 01:02:12,361 --> 01:02:15,961
- I can't let you run
- alongside the carriage.
- 606
- 01:02:16,121 --> 01:02:18,561
- Then I'd better get ahead.
- 607
- 01:02:39,201 --> 01:02:43,041
- You see, I kept my word.
- 608
- 01:02:43,201 --> 01:02:45,921
- Was that a bet?
- 609
- 01:02:46,081 --> 01:02:50,881
- I just felt a little dizzy.
- I didn't even need to run so fast.
- 610
- 01:03:01,961 --> 01:03:04,281
- Miss Jakobe, your flowers.
- 611
- 01:03:06,081 --> 01:03:08,081
- Your flowers.
- 612
- 01:03:18,001 --> 01:03:20,401
- You love me, do you not?
- 613
- 01:03:21,921 --> 01:03:23,481
- You want to be mine.
- 614
- 01:03:25,441 --> 01:03:27,721
- You want to be mine.
- 615
- 01:03:27,881 --> 01:03:30,121
- You love me.
- 616
- 01:03:30,281 --> 01:03:34,761
- Isn't it so? You love me
- and want to be mine.
- 617
- 01:03:39,201 --> 01:03:40,841
- You want to be mine.
- 618
- 01:03:43,201 --> 01:03:45,841
- Am I not right?
- 619
- 01:03:47,441 --> 01:03:49,641
- Yes.
- 620
- 01:03:49,801 --> 01:03:51,601
- Yes!
- 621
- 01:04:20,281 --> 01:04:23,241
- HOCHGEBIRGSSTAUSEEN KAPRUN
- When the dam is completed -
- 622
- 01:04:23,401 --> 01:04:29,441
- - we'll be able to prevent flooding
- further down the valley.
- 623
- 01:04:29,601 --> 01:04:32,641
- It happens almost every year
- when the snow melts.
- 624
- 01:04:32,801 --> 01:04:35,841
- And when the power station is ready,
- we can supply electricity to the area.
- 625
- 01:04:36,001 --> 01:04:41,641
- It provides opportunities for everyone
- who lives in this part of the country.
- 626
- 01:04:41,801 --> 01:04:42,961
- Mr. Sidenius...
- 627
- 01:04:44,921 --> 01:04:51,241
- Guten Tag, mein lieber Freund.
- I hope you're doing well in Austria -
- 628
- 01:04:51,401 --> 01:04:54,601
- - and that Professor Pfefferkorn
- is looking after you.
- 629
- 01:04:56,961 --> 01:05:00,161
- We had so little time before you left.
- 630
- 01:05:01,161 --> 01:05:06,561
- But even though the days flew by,
- love demanded its rights.
- 631
- 01:05:08,721 --> 01:05:14,521
- Every moment spent with you, I treasure
- as one of the happiest of my life.
- 632
- 01:05:16,801 --> 01:05:21,841
- My dear Per, it's been
- too long since I heard from you.
- 633
- 01:05:23,281 --> 01:05:27,361
- Just a few words from you
- would make me happy.
- 634
- 01:05:27,521 --> 01:05:30,921
- But I'm sure you're keeping busy.
- 635
- 01:05:31,081 --> 01:05:34,601
- All day yesterday,
- I expected a letter from you.
- 636
- 01:05:34,761 --> 01:05:38,561
- I was upset and
- went to bed at ten o'clock -
- 637
- 01:05:38,721 --> 01:05:43,201
- - and hated you with all my heart.
- Until eleven o'clock.
- 638
- 01:05:45,561 --> 01:05:50,681
- My darling, can't you forget about
- engineering for a while -
- 639
- 01:05:50,841 --> 01:05:54,441
- - jump on a train
- and get home quickly?
- 640
- 01:05:54,601 --> 01:05:59,001
- And kiss me. Just one kiss.
- 641
- 01:06:00,681 --> 01:06:03,441
- That would feel wonderful.
- 642
- 01:06:04,841 --> 01:06:09,281
- Do you know that
- you've never said you love me?
- 643
- 01:06:11,161 --> 01:06:16,881
- Just once, I should like to hear
- what it sounds like.
- 644
- 01:06:18,481 --> 01:06:20,401
- You can practice before we meet again.
- 645
- 01:06:21,761 --> 01:06:25,401
- Then it will be a mutual confession.
- 646
- 01:07:23,561 --> 01:07:28,241
- What's up with Jakobe?
- Did you see her at the table?
- 647
- 01:07:28,401 --> 01:07:32,361
- Poor girl. She's jealous because
- she wasn't the first to get married.
- 648
- 01:07:32,521 --> 01:07:35,121
- She's positively fuming
- because she's not the one -
- 649
- 01:07:35,281 --> 01:07:38,001
- - dancing her wedding dance with Per.
- 650
- 01:07:38,161 --> 01:07:43,721
- Tell me, my dear sister...
- Is that the reason for the rush?
- 651
- 01:07:43,881 --> 01:07:48,041
- - Whatever do you mean?
- - You wanted to be the first.
- 652
- 01:07:48,201 --> 01:07:52,561
- You never forgave him for rejecting you.
- You're bearing a grudge.
- 653
- 01:07:53,881 --> 01:07:56,361
- You're drunk!
- 654
- 01:07:56,521 --> 01:08:01,401
- Concentrate on dancing.
- You're treading on my shoes.
- 655
- 01:08:12,001 --> 01:08:16,001
- - Are you enjoying yourself?
- - Yes, Mother.
- 656
- 01:08:16,161 --> 01:08:20,001
- - Do you miss him?
- - Of course I do.
- 657
- 01:08:20,161 --> 01:08:22,601
- Especially tonight.
- 658
- 01:08:23,721 --> 01:08:27,321
- - There's something about him...
- - What?
- 659
- 01:08:27,481 --> 01:08:29,801
- I don't know...
- 660
- 01:08:29,961 --> 01:08:34,361
- There's something about
- the rootless part of his personality -
- 661
- 01:08:34,521 --> 01:08:40,481
- - that we don't understand.
- And we haven't even met his family.
- 662
- 01:08:40,641 --> 01:08:45,281
- Do you know if they even
- know about your relationship?
- 663
- 01:08:45,441 --> 01:08:49,561
- Yes. Before he left,
- Per met his brother in the street -
- 664
- 01:08:49,721 --> 01:08:53,481
- - and told him that we're engaged.
- 665
- 01:08:53,641 --> 01:08:59,161
- It's not our place to interfere,
- but are you sure?
- 666
- 01:08:59,321 --> 01:09:02,881
- - Sure of what?
- - That you and Per are well matched?
- 667
- 01:09:04,841 --> 01:09:08,481
- Are you sure
- your relationship is not unnatural?
- 668
- 01:09:08,641 --> 01:09:13,961
- That your social standings
- are not too different?
- 669
- 01:09:14,121 --> 01:09:17,961
- That his Christian background
- will not clash with our Jewish faith?
- 670
- 01:09:18,121 --> 01:09:22,041
- His uncompromising hatred
- for his whole family...
- 671
- 01:09:22,201 --> 01:09:27,161
- I've made my choice, Mother.
- I love him.
- 672
- 01:09:27,321 --> 01:09:29,721
- Yes. Fine.
- 673
- 01:09:29,881 --> 01:09:35,241
- We just wanted to make sure that you
- were confident in the relationship.
- 674
- 01:09:49,961 --> 01:09:53,121
- Hello. Where might I find
- senior clerk Sidenius?
- 675
- 01:09:54,641 --> 01:09:59,401
- - First floor, fourth door on the right.
- - Thank you.
- 676
- 01:10:04,041 --> 01:10:08,361
- - It shows.
- - Yes, a Jewish tart.
- 677
- 01:10:18,161 --> 01:10:20,161
- Come in!
- 678
- 01:10:24,041 --> 01:10:28,001
- Hello.
- My name is Jakobe Salomon.
- 679
- 01:10:29,081 --> 01:10:33,001
- I know that your brother
- has told you about me.
- 680
- 01:10:38,161 --> 01:10:43,681
- I've come here to try to come
- to a mutual understanding.
- 681
- 01:10:43,841 --> 01:10:50,041
- Your brother, Per, my fiancée to be,
- has felt estranged from his family.
- 682
- 01:10:50,201 --> 01:10:53,481
- Is this conversation your idea?
- 683
- 01:10:54,481 --> 01:10:56,441
- Yes.
- 684
- 01:10:57,441 --> 01:10:59,881
- Does my brother know that you're here?
- 685
- 01:11:00,881 --> 01:11:04,241
- - No.
- - I see.
- 686
- 01:11:07,001 --> 01:11:11,321
- It's only too true that
- ever since his childhood -
- 687
- 01:11:11,481 --> 01:11:15,201
- - my brother has
- separated from his family.
- 688
- 01:11:15,361 --> 01:11:18,281
- He systematically hardened.
- 689
- 01:11:19,441 --> 01:11:24,441
- He's found some kind of
- pitiful joy in defying us.
- 690
- 01:11:24,601 --> 01:11:29,761
- Even the ones he first and foremost
- owes gratitude and reverence.
- 691
- 01:11:29,921 --> 01:11:32,841
- Even now,
- when our father is on his deathbed -
- 692
- 01:11:33,001 --> 01:11:36,001
- - he won't open his darkened heart.
- 693
- 01:11:36,161 --> 01:11:41,641
- His attempts to break free
- go as far as his Christian name.
- 694
- 01:11:41,801 --> 01:11:45,761
- - You call him Per.
- - Yes.
- 695
- 01:11:46,761 --> 01:11:48,961
- I won't hide my opinion.
- 696
- 01:11:49,121 --> 01:11:54,361
- And I assume you're looking for
- an honest observation.
- 697
- 01:11:54,521 --> 01:11:58,601
- Namely that this,
- his engagement to you -
- 698
- 01:11:58,761 --> 01:12:02,121
- - is part of
- a rebellion against his home.
- 699
- 01:12:02,281 --> 01:12:05,601
- I'm sure you know that Peter Andreas
- comes from a Christian family.
- 700
- 01:12:05,761 --> 01:12:10,481
- He knows that to his parents,
- Christianity is the all-important power.
- 701
- 01:12:10,641 --> 01:12:16,121
- And that they don't recognise happiness,
- which isn't rooted in Christian piety.
- 702
- 01:12:17,121 --> 01:12:23,241
- And if it means anything to you,
- I can tell you in no uncertain terms -
- 703
- 01:12:23,401 --> 01:12:29,921
- - that you can't expect an approval
- of his liaison with you.
- 704
- 01:12:32,441 --> 01:12:36,561
- I came here with
- the hope of reconciliation.
- 705
- 01:12:39,001 --> 01:12:42,521
- I see now that I was naive.
- 706
- 01:12:44,521 --> 01:12:47,761
- And yet, I don't regret my visit.
- 707
- 01:12:58,201 --> 01:13:01,681
- Excuse me?
- Is there any mail for me?
- 708
- 01:13:01,841 --> 01:13:04,561
- Sorry, Mr. Sidenius.
- No mail today either.
- 709
- 01:13:04,721 --> 01:13:06,681
- Thank you.
- 710
- 01:14:06,521 --> 01:14:10,761
- Mr. Sidenius!
- There's a telegram for you.
- 711
- 01:14:12,761 --> 01:14:14,481
- Thank you.
- 712
- 01:14:23,521 --> 01:14:25,761
- Has something happened?
- 713
- 01:14:32,521 --> 01:14:35,921
- It's from my brother.
- 714
- 01:14:36,961 --> 01:14:39,321
- My father died in the night.
- 715
- 01:14:39,481 --> 01:14:43,641
- Please accept
- my condolences, Mr. Sidenius.
- 716
- 01:14:43,801 --> 01:14:47,041
- You are welcome
- to go home right away.
- 717
- 01:14:47,201 --> 01:14:49,601
- No thanks.
- 718
- 01:14:49,761 --> 01:14:54,081
- As you wish. If I can be of any help...
- 719
- 01:15:34,121 --> 01:15:39,561
- - A lady wishes to speak to you.
- - That must be a misunderstanding.
- 720
- 01:15:39,721 --> 01:15:43,121
- A foreigner.
- I think she arrived on the train.
- 721
- 01:15:43,281 --> 01:15:44,561
- On the train?
- 722
- 01:15:58,481 --> 01:16:00,641
- Good evening.
- 723
- 01:16:02,521 --> 01:16:04,441
- How...?
- 724
- 01:16:05,441 --> 01:16:09,761
- - Did I surprise you?
- - Please, come in.
- 725
- 01:16:31,041 --> 01:16:34,441
- So you did miss me.
- 726
- 01:16:36,401 --> 01:16:38,801
- And now I'm here.
- 727
- 01:16:39,801 --> 01:16:42,361
- My dearest friend, Per.
- 728
- 01:16:42,521 --> 01:16:45,401
- A thousand times my friend.
- 729
- 01:16:54,641 --> 01:16:58,121
- Why didn't you tell me you were
- coming? I could have sent a carriage.
- 730
- 01:16:58,281 --> 01:17:03,881
- I didn't know whether to come.
- But I felt I had to visit you.
- 731
- 01:17:05,841 --> 01:17:08,681
- I couldn't tell my parents about it.
- 732
- 01:17:08,841 --> 01:17:14,001
- So I told them that I was visiting
- my old friend Rebekka in Breslau.
- 733
- 01:17:15,001 --> 01:17:18,881
- - And you're staying?
- - For two days.
- 734
- 01:17:19,041 --> 01:17:23,001
- - You must be hungry.
- - Yes.
- 735
- 01:17:31,481 --> 01:17:35,121
- Uncle Delft read
- your father's obituary in the newspaper.
- 736
- 01:17:37,841 --> 01:17:42,081
- I'm so sorry, Per.
- Has it been hard?
- 737
- 01:17:43,401 --> 01:17:47,561
- No.
- I was relieved not to feel anything.
- 738
- 01:17:47,721 --> 01:17:50,721
- Almost like an acquittal.
- 739
- 01:17:50,881 --> 01:17:54,161
- You two could have reconciled.
- 740
- 01:17:54,321 --> 01:17:58,281
- If you had confronted him,
- perhaps things had been different.
- 741
- 01:17:59,801 --> 01:18:02,921
- You and I must
- be honest with each other.
- 742
- 01:18:03,081 --> 01:18:06,041
- We must confide in one another.
- 743
- 01:18:07,361 --> 01:18:09,441
- I have a confession to make.
- 744
- 01:18:10,561 --> 01:18:13,161
- Please don't be upset.
- 745
- 01:18:13,321 --> 01:18:17,761
- I went to your room in Copenhagen
- before I left.
- 746
- 01:18:17,921 --> 01:18:21,681
- I missed you so much.
- I needed something of yours near me.
- 747
- 01:18:23,641 --> 01:18:28,601
- And I wrote you a letter.
- But I never sent it.
- 748
- 01:18:29,961 --> 01:18:31,321
- I brought it with me.
- 749
- 01:18:36,401 --> 01:18:38,121
- My dearest Per.
- 750
- 01:18:38,281 --> 01:18:41,041
- My dear friend.
- 751
- 01:18:41,201 --> 01:18:44,481
- I could weep with joy
- at how mortified I feel -
- 752
- 01:18:44,641 --> 01:18:48,521
- - because I have worried
- about you and doubted you.
- 753
- 01:18:48,681 --> 01:18:51,801
- Not until now did I understand
- the kind of person you are.
- 754
- 01:18:51,961 --> 01:18:56,041
- What you are made of,
- and what made you who you are.
- 755
- 01:18:59,041 --> 01:19:01,801
- Your grandeur is also
- a contradiction in terms...
- 756
- 01:19:03,281 --> 01:19:08,441
- ...which has grown from the pressure of
- small-mindedness and superstition.
- 757
- 01:19:08,601 --> 01:19:13,761
- It explains your feebleness
- but also your immense strength.
- 758
- 01:19:15,721 --> 01:19:19,201
- Your disdain and wilful power.
- 759
- 01:19:21,081 --> 01:19:25,241
- Now I finally understand
- the importance of social justice.
- 760
- 01:19:27,041 --> 01:19:30,361
- Due to my slowly coming to
- understand you and your background -
- 761
- 01:19:30,521 --> 01:19:36,081
- - I have realised why I feel a dark and
- reluctant connection to the hungry -
- 762
- 01:19:36,241 --> 01:19:41,481
- - the poor, and the people
- who fight for light, air, and dignity.
- 763
- 01:19:43,481 --> 01:19:46,401
- Those people who belong to the future.
- 764
- 01:20:04,001 --> 01:20:06,161
- Thank you.
- 765
- 01:20:13,921 --> 01:20:18,041
- This is the life, Jakobe.
- A life of freedom.
- 766
- 01:20:23,401 --> 01:20:27,561
- I still can't believe that you travelled
- so far just to see me.
- 767
- 01:20:28,681 --> 01:20:33,961
- I would travel round the world three
- times just to have one minute with you.
- 768
- 01:20:38,161 --> 01:20:41,361
- Maybe now's the moment to declare it.
- 769
- 01:20:41,521 --> 01:20:43,601
- Yes. Declare what?
- 770
- 01:20:46,321 --> 01:20:48,081
- I...
- 771
- 01:20:53,401 --> 01:20:55,481
- - I...
- - I...
- 772
- 01:20:55,641 --> 01:20:59,041
- - ...love you.
- - ...love you.
- 773
- 01:21:54,521 --> 01:21:57,841
- Oh no! I hadn't noticed it.
- 774
- 01:21:59,401 --> 01:22:04,321
- - What's it doing here? Let's move.
- - No. We have our backs to it.
- 775
- 01:22:04,481 --> 01:22:07,881
- Just enjoy the beautiful view.
- 776
- 01:22:10,321 --> 01:22:13,641
- - Do you hear that?
- - What?
- 777
- 01:22:16,801 --> 01:22:20,801
- Can't you hear them?
- The church bells.
- 778
- 01:22:20,961 --> 01:22:25,081
- They won't leave us alone anywhere!
- It's as if they're following me!
- 779
- 01:22:25,241 --> 01:22:26,521
- Per...
- 780
- 01:22:26,681 --> 01:22:31,641
- - See how he flaunts his impudence.
- - Per!
- 781
- 01:22:31,801 --> 01:22:37,041
- Look at his abject humility
- and how he exposes his misery.
- 782
- 01:22:37,201 --> 01:22:39,561
- - I hate it!
- - Stop it, Per.
- 783
- 01:22:39,721 --> 01:22:44,241
- When has anyone ever
- spat their disgust in your face?
- 784
- 01:22:44,401 --> 01:22:46,601
- Stop it!
- 785
- 01:22:46,761 --> 01:22:49,441
- Stop it now. Per!
- What's got into you!
- 786
- 01:22:49,601 --> 01:22:51,561
- Stop it now!
- 787
- 01:22:51,721 --> 01:22:54,521
- Stop it!
- 788
- 01:22:54,681 --> 01:22:57,601
- Stop it, Per. Stop it!
- 789
- 01:22:57,761 --> 01:23:01,721
- Look at me. Stop it! Stop it now.
- 790
- 01:23:03,281 --> 01:23:05,561
- Look at me.
- 791
- 01:23:17,001 --> 01:23:19,601
- Sometimes I feel like the hill troll -
- 792
- 01:23:19,761 --> 01:23:23,561
- - who crawled out of his hole
- to be with humans.
- 793
- 01:23:26,361 --> 01:23:29,481
- He discovered
- that the light was too bright.
- 794
- 01:23:33,001 --> 01:23:35,081
- The sun's rays were too bright -
- 795
- 01:23:35,241 --> 01:23:39,521
- - so he went back into the hole
- and cowered in fear.
- 796
- 01:23:40,681 --> 01:23:43,081
- Back to the darkness.
- 797
- 01:23:49,561 --> 01:23:54,441
- Go to sleep.
- It's been a long day for both of us.
- 798
- 01:24:23,281 --> 01:24:28,521
- Well, Mr. Sidenius.
- Are you happy to be here?
- 799
- 01:24:28,681 --> 01:24:30,521
- Very happy.
- 800
- 01:24:30,681 --> 01:24:35,961
- In the past few months, I've learned
- more than at college in Denmark.
- 801
- 01:24:37,161 --> 01:24:41,841
- Good to hear.
- I've been studying your project.
- 802
- 01:24:43,041 --> 01:24:46,201
- Some details are disputable.
- 803
- 01:24:46,361 --> 01:24:50,001
- Especially the fascine revetment
- and the retaining walls.
- 804
- 01:24:50,161 --> 01:24:54,681
- And also in the draft for the fiord
- regulations regarding the lateral works.
- 805
- 01:24:54,841 --> 01:24:57,441
- Of course, Professor.
- 806
- 01:24:57,601 --> 01:25:01,601
- But as a whole, Mr. Sidenius...
- 807
- 01:25:02,881 --> 01:25:05,841
- ...I'm very impressed.
- 808
- 01:25:06,001 --> 01:25:10,361
- You possess an unusually fresh
- and graphic understanding of -
- 809
- 01:25:10,521 --> 01:25:14,681
- - the forces of nature
- and how to harness them.
- 810
- 01:25:14,841 --> 01:25:20,281
- Thank you, Professor.
- If you knew what that means to me.
- 811
- 01:25:20,441 --> 01:25:26,081
- I sincerely hope that the Danish nation
- appreciates your enormous talent.
- 812
- 01:25:30,241 --> 01:25:31,401
- Thank you.
- 813
- 01:25:32,801 --> 01:25:34,481
- Thank you.
- 814
- 01:25:34,641 --> 01:25:37,601
- Thank you very much.
- 815
- 01:25:44,241 --> 01:25:47,281
- My dear friends and honoured guests.
- 816
- 01:25:48,281 --> 01:25:54,681
- Today is a very special and moving day
- for me and my wife.
- 817
- 01:25:54,841 --> 01:25:58,401
- We are pleased
- to announce the engagement -
- 818
- 01:25:58,561 --> 01:26:03,361
- - of our oldest daughter Jakobe
- to Per Sidenius.
- 819
- 01:26:08,641 --> 01:26:15,081
- On a day like today, I feel like making
- a short speech to the couple -
- 820
- 01:26:15,241 --> 01:26:19,281
- - who have now said
- their first official "I do".
- 821
- 01:26:19,441 --> 01:26:23,481
- Let me start with you, Per,
- my future son-in-law.
- 822
- 01:26:23,641 --> 01:26:27,401
- You're probably
- the most stubborn person I've ever met.
- 823
- 01:26:27,561 --> 01:26:29,481
- For better or for worse.
- 824
- 01:26:31,041 --> 01:26:32,961
- Mostly for better.
- 825
- 01:26:35,201 --> 01:26:42,841
- When I think about how persistently
- you fought to make Jakobe yours -
- 826
- 01:26:43,001 --> 01:26:47,041
- - and how unyielding you have been
- in fighting for your national project.
- 827
- 01:26:47,201 --> 01:26:51,681
- You went to Austria to study
- under Professor Pfefferkorn.
- 828
- 01:26:51,841 --> 01:26:58,201
- He unequivocally gave
- his seal of approval to Per's ideas.
- 829
- 01:26:58,361 --> 01:27:00,321
- Isn't that something?
- 830
- 01:27:03,681 --> 01:27:08,441
- And I'm happy to inform you
- that we have formed a consortium -
- 831
- 01:27:08,601 --> 01:27:14,361
- - of affluent people who
- want to support your project, Per.
- 832
- 01:27:16,401 --> 01:27:21,321
- Seen from a financial point of view,
- it looks as if -
- 833
- 01:27:21,481 --> 01:27:25,401
- - the project is capable
- of being realised.
- 834
- 01:27:28,921 --> 01:27:35,161
- You're fortunate man.
- I think the future lies at your feet.
- 835
- 01:27:48,921 --> 01:27:51,121
- Good afternoon,
- or rather, good evening.
- 836
- 01:27:51,281 --> 01:27:55,681
- That unpleasant man was here again.
- He left you a letter.
- 837
- 01:28:20,241 --> 01:28:25,201
- - I can only offer you water.
- - No thank you.
- 838
- 01:28:26,281 --> 01:28:29,921
- How long has Mother been in
- Copenhagen?
- 839
- 01:28:30,081 --> 01:28:34,761
- When your father died,
- I had to leave the rectory.
- 840
- 01:28:34,921 --> 01:28:40,361
- I had nowhere else to go,
- so I wanted to be near Eberhardt.
- 841
- 01:28:43,961 --> 01:28:47,241
- You look very elegant.
- 842
- 01:28:49,841 --> 01:28:53,521
- And you've acquired fine manners.
- 843
- 01:28:55,121 --> 01:28:58,881
- Your brother tells me
- that you've found a wealthy family-
- 844
- 01:28:59,041 --> 01:29:02,761
- - who pays for your lifestyle.
- 845
- 01:29:02,921 --> 01:29:09,081
- Eberhardt and I agreed to spare your
- father the distress he would have felt -
- 846
- 01:29:09,241 --> 01:29:14,841
- - at learning of your relationship
- with the Jewish daughter of a rich man.
- 847
- 01:29:17,521 --> 01:29:23,841
- A fortunate man, they call you.
- What manner is that?
- 848
- 01:29:31,921 --> 01:29:35,481
- What did Mother
- wish to speak to me about?
- 849
- 01:29:35,641 --> 01:29:39,001
- You didn't attend your father's funeral.
- 850
- 01:29:40,121 --> 01:29:47,041
- But until his last breath, he hoped you
- would return to the grace of humility.
- 851
- 01:29:58,361 --> 01:30:03,401
- He wanted me
- to give this to you after his death.
- 852
- 01:30:07,361 --> 01:30:12,601
- That's why I asked Eberhardt
- to look you up.
- 853
- 01:30:12,761 --> 01:30:16,201
- The watch was special to your father.
- 854
- 01:30:17,561 --> 01:30:21,241
- And let me tell you, Peter Andreas -
- 855
- 01:30:21,401 --> 01:30:25,841
- - why he insisted to his last breath
- that I give it to you.
- 856
- 01:30:27,521 --> 01:30:31,441
- As a young boy, your father
- was going away to grammar school.
- 857
- 01:30:31,601 --> 01:30:35,121
- His father demanded
- to have the key to his suitcase -
- 858
- 01:30:35,281 --> 01:30:38,481
- - so he could check
- what he was bringing.
- 859
- 01:30:38,641 --> 01:30:45,041
- Your father felt very offended,
- so he left without saying goodbye.
- 860
- 01:30:46,561 --> 01:30:51,161
- When he arrived at the school in
- the evening, he opened the suitcase...
- 861
- 01:30:52,161 --> 01:30:55,801
- ...and found the watch you're holding.
- 862
- 01:30:55,961 --> 01:30:59,001
- He realised that it was a gift.
- 863
- 01:31:00,521 --> 01:31:03,521
- It was meant to be a surprise.
- 864
- 01:31:04,561 --> 01:31:08,081
- Your father cried violently.
- 865
- 01:31:08,241 --> 01:31:11,641
- And in repentance,
- he walked throughout the night -
- 866
- 01:31:11,801 --> 01:31:15,561
- - all the way home, flung
- his arms around his father's neck -
- 867
- 01:31:15,721 --> 01:31:18,681
- - and asked for forgiveness.
- 868
- 01:31:20,001 --> 01:31:24,201
- It was on that night,
- when he humiliated himself...
- 869
- 01:31:25,241 --> 01:31:31,001
- ...that he found the path back
- to the light. And to peace of mind.
- 870
- 01:31:31,161 --> 01:31:34,561
- And to Our Lord in Heaven.
- 871
- 01:31:36,241 --> 01:31:39,801
- Never forget what your father said.
- 872
- 01:31:41,321 --> 01:31:46,041
- Exiled be he who defies The Lord!
- 873
- 01:31:54,121 --> 01:31:57,121
- I think I'd like
- that glass of water now.
- 874
- 01:31:57,281 --> 01:32:00,721
- There's a kitchenette out there.
- 875
- 01:32:46,801 --> 01:32:51,641
- - And you're quite sure?
- - Yes. You're pregnant.
- 876
- 01:33:22,201 --> 01:33:25,041
- - When will you be finished with that?
- - Two minutes.
- 877
- 01:33:26,641 --> 01:33:30,321
- With love from Jakobe.
- She hopes the meeting goes well.
- 878
- 01:33:30,481 --> 01:33:33,561
- I've been waiting for this
- since I was a boy.
- 879
- 01:33:33,721 --> 01:33:36,041
- How many of
- your father's friends will attend?
- 880
- 01:33:36,201 --> 01:33:38,761
- Seven or eight.
- 881
- 01:33:38,921 --> 01:33:43,561
- - What on earth is that?
- - It was delivered yesterday.
- 882
- 01:33:44,561 --> 01:33:47,281
- I had it made in Vienna.
- Does it look like me?
- 883
- 01:33:48,601 --> 01:33:50,601
- To a T.
- 884
- 01:33:50,761 --> 01:33:55,601
- People are completely unaware that
- in a few hours, we will make history.
- 885
- 01:33:55,761 --> 01:34:00,481
- We are laying the foundation
- for the new national works.
- 886
- 01:34:00,641 --> 01:34:05,041
- - It's big.
- - It's a quarter to ten! Hurry up!
- 887
- 01:34:10,841 --> 01:34:14,121
- In order to connect
- all corners of Denmark -
- 888
- 01:34:14,281 --> 01:34:17,121
- - and make
- the regions part of modern society-
- 889
- 01:34:17,281 --> 01:34:23,041
- - we must break away from the notion of
- the blessings of pork and butter -
- 890
- 01:34:23,201 --> 01:34:27,081
- - and instead make the peasant society
- part of the whole nation.
- 891
- 01:34:27,241 --> 01:34:31,841
- And as I said by way of introduction,
- my canal project -
- 892
- 01:34:32,001 --> 01:34:35,881
- - combined with hydropower
- and windmills is crucial.
- 893
- 01:34:36,041 --> 01:34:41,161
- I promise that
- your investments will not be wasted.
- 894
- 01:34:41,321 --> 01:34:47,281
- When Denmark becomes self-sufficient,
- money will flow in.
- 895
- 01:34:47,441 --> 01:34:54,921
- Thank you for taking the time to listen
- to the plans for Denmark's new works.
- 896
- 01:34:57,041 --> 01:35:01,761
- This consortium, which is made up
- of private, independent investors -
- 897
- 01:35:01,921 --> 01:35:07,761
- - has done some calculations, and
- we have reached the conclusion that -
- 898
- 01:35:07,921 --> 01:35:13,961
- - the project is financially feasible.
- 899
- 01:35:14,121 --> 01:35:17,841
- This, of course, is subject to
- ministerial permission.
- 900
- 01:35:19,401 --> 01:35:25,721
- We know that Mr. Sidenius has been
- in touch with a high-ranking official -
- 901
- 01:35:25,881 --> 01:35:29,881
- - and that the meeting
- for personal reasons -
- 902
- 01:35:30,041 --> 01:35:36,761
- - concluded in an unfortunate way.
- We have been in touch with this person.
- 903
- 01:35:36,921 --> 01:35:40,441
- And when, in a moment,
- he enters through that door -
- 904
- 01:35:40,601 --> 01:35:47,601
- - we ask that you give him
- the unreserved apology he's expecting.
- 905
- 01:35:59,201 --> 01:36:01,921
- Please, Isak.
- 906
- 01:36:25,721 --> 01:36:27,721
- Gentlemen...
- 907
- 01:36:29,001 --> 01:36:33,801
- Do you seriously think
- that I owe him an apology?
- 908
- 01:36:33,961 --> 01:36:37,921
- But what for?
- What for?
- 909
- 01:36:38,081 --> 01:36:42,241
- You must understand that
- I cannot accept any kind of tutelage.
- 910
- 01:36:42,401 --> 01:36:47,161
- I drew up my project without
- any form of supervision or intervention.
- 911
- 01:36:47,321 --> 01:36:49,441
- I cannot allow it to happen now.
- 912
- 01:36:49,601 --> 01:36:57,001
- Presumably you know, that without
- Engineer Colonel Bjerregrav's approval -
- 913
- 01:36:57,161 --> 01:37:00,401
- - the project is not feasible.
- 914
- 01:37:00,561 --> 01:37:05,281
- I want to make it clear that
- the Engineer Colonel insulted me.
- 915
- 01:37:05,441 --> 01:37:08,881
- He mocked my project!
- 916
- 01:37:09,881 --> 01:37:13,121
- So he should apologise to me.
- 917
- 01:37:14,961 --> 01:37:18,321
- Are you refusing to apologise?
- 918
- 01:37:23,241 --> 01:37:24,401
- Yes.
- 919
- 01:37:24,561 --> 01:37:28,881
- I resent having to apologise to
- an old, power-crazed tyrant.
- 920
- 01:37:29,041 --> 01:37:33,241
- A legalist who lacks vision!
- I'm sorry.
- 921
- 01:37:37,641 --> 01:37:40,361
- Is that your final decision?
- 922
- 01:37:42,081 --> 01:37:43,441
- Absolutely.
- 923
- 01:37:52,201 --> 01:37:55,921
- Well, that concludes
- matters for today, gentlemen.
- 924
- 01:37:57,441 --> 01:38:00,161
- The consortium is hereby disbanded.
- 925
- 01:38:01,841 --> 01:38:06,201
- I assume that none of you
- have any regrets -
- 926
- 01:38:06,361 --> 01:38:08,841
- - about the outcome of this meeting.
- 927
- 01:38:38,841 --> 01:38:44,921
- Imagine having to apologise to that
- power-crazed, uncompromising person.
- 928
- 01:38:45,081 --> 01:38:49,881
- - Who was being uncompromising, Per?
- - You too?
- 929
- 01:38:50,041 --> 01:38:53,681
- Would a small apology matter that much
- if it could save your project?
- 930
- 01:38:53,841 --> 01:38:57,881
- Yes, in my world.
- I'm astonished by your attitude.
- 931
- 01:38:58,041 --> 01:39:00,761
- You always say that
- the end justifies the means.
- 932
- 01:39:00,921 --> 01:39:07,481
- This confirmed the rotten connection
- between money and those in power.
- 933
- 01:39:07,641 --> 01:39:11,881
- And that's apparently
- something you support.
- 934
- 01:39:13,961 --> 01:39:16,001
- What do you mean?
- 935
- 01:39:16,161 --> 01:39:19,721
- If I'm to follow your rule of conduct...
- 936
- 01:39:21,201 --> 01:39:26,681
- - ...then this is the last time we talk.
- - What are you saying?
- 937
- 01:39:26,841 --> 01:39:32,641
- You're prerequisite by birth to value
- these traits which I seem to lack.
- 938
- 01:39:32,801 --> 01:39:34,881
- I didn't hear that.
- 939
- 01:39:41,521 --> 01:39:44,161
- The outcome of today's meeting -
- 940
- 01:39:44,321 --> 01:39:47,601
- - was very disappointing
- to my colleagues and me.
- 941
- 01:39:47,761 --> 01:39:52,601
- I refuse to be bullied by that tyrant.
- Especially on such an important project.
- 942
- 01:39:52,761 --> 01:39:58,881
- In future, please remember
- the position you hold -
- 943
- 01:39:59,041 --> 01:40:04,201
- - within my family, and conduct yourself
- with the necessary elegance.
- 944
- 01:40:04,361 --> 01:40:07,161
- And with dignity.
- 945
- 01:40:07,321 --> 01:40:09,881
- Am I being clear?
- 946
- 01:40:14,841 --> 01:40:17,161
- Yes, sir.
- 947
- 01:41:21,521 --> 01:41:23,641
- Jakobe?
- 948
- 01:41:24,641 --> 01:41:28,401
- - Did you hear?
- - Hear what?
- 949
- 01:41:30,481 --> 01:41:33,721
- Come and sit next to me.
- 950
- 01:41:44,881 --> 01:41:49,241
- Is your mother's name
- Kristine Margrethe?
- 951
- 01:41:49,401 --> 01:41:52,321
- Yes. Why do you ask?
- 952
- 01:41:54,081 --> 01:41:55,241
- She died.
- 953
- 01:42:01,001 --> 01:42:05,281
- - What do you mean?
- - I read the obituary in the newspaper.
- 954
- 01:42:05,441 --> 01:42:09,481
- I noticed that she was
- a clergyman's widow.
- 955
- 01:42:09,641 --> 01:42:13,721
- "Our dear mother,
- Kristine Margrethe Sidenius -
- 956
- 01:42:13,881 --> 01:42:17,841
- - has found eternal peace."
- It's signed "her children."
- 957
- 01:42:20,641 --> 01:42:26,041
- - Did you know she was on her deathbed?
- - I knew she was sickly.
- 958
- 01:42:28,841 --> 01:42:31,641
- But I didn't know it was that serious.
- 959
- 01:42:33,321 --> 01:42:36,161
- To think what a life she led.
- 960
- 01:42:37,321 --> 01:42:41,841
- With so many children
- and such a difficult husband.
- 961
- 01:42:43,561 --> 01:42:46,801
- And in poverty.
- 962
- 01:42:46,961 --> 01:42:52,081
- And yet, she never complained.
- I remember you telling me she once said:
- 963
- 01:42:52,241 --> 01:42:57,601
- "Don't pity me.
- Pity my husband and my children."
- 964
- 01:43:02,161 --> 01:43:05,081
- That which is gone, is gone.
- 965
- 01:43:07,361 --> 01:43:11,521
- Let's talk about something else.
- Let's talk about you.
- 966
- 01:43:15,641 --> 01:43:20,441
- Let's go travelling.
- Soon.
- 967
- 01:43:23,241 --> 01:43:27,241
- To England.
- Just you and me.
- 968
- 01:43:28,681 --> 01:43:32,121
- Let's call it an engagement trip.
- 969
- 01:43:33,521 --> 01:43:39,361
- There, we can live only for our love.
- And comfortably plan our wedding.
- 970
- 01:43:44,321 --> 01:43:48,681
- I have big news myself,
- which I look forward to telling you.
- 971
- 01:43:55,041 --> 01:43:59,001
- Go with me to the country house.
- Don't be alone tonight.
- 972
- 01:43:59,161 --> 01:44:01,761
- The guest room is ready for you.
- 973
- 01:44:01,921 --> 01:44:05,801
- We should both tell Mother and Father
- of your mother's death.
- 974
- 01:44:05,961 --> 01:44:08,801
- - We owe them that.
- - Now that we're almost related.
- 975
- 01:44:08,961 --> 01:44:12,121
- I owe them nothing,
- apart from the money, of course.
- 976
- 01:44:12,281 --> 01:44:15,641
- That's not what I meant.
- They've never mentioned the money.
- 977
- 01:44:15,801 --> 01:44:18,681
- It's something I've thought about.
- 978
- 01:44:18,841 --> 01:44:22,161
- I want to be rid of my debt
- and become independent.
- 979
- 01:44:22,321 --> 01:44:25,321
- Not from you,
- but from your family's money.
- 980
- 01:44:25,481 --> 01:44:29,281
- If the money's not a problem to them,
- it shouldn't be to you.
- 981
- 01:44:29,441 --> 01:44:32,041
- No, but I don't want
- to be indebted to your family.
- 982
- 01:44:38,441 --> 01:44:41,881
- Hello. I'm here to see
- senior clerk Sidenius.
- 983
- 01:44:42,041 --> 01:44:45,081
- First floor, fourth door on the right.
- 984
- 01:44:46,761 --> 01:44:48,721
- Thank you.
- 985
- 01:44:58,801 --> 01:45:00,921
- Come in!
- 986
- 01:45:06,441 --> 01:45:09,441
- I saw in the paper
- that Mother died.
- 987
- 01:45:09,601 --> 01:45:13,641
- Yes. I thought you were abroad.
- 988
- 01:45:13,801 --> 01:45:16,441
- How did she die?
- 989
- 01:45:19,001 --> 01:45:22,001
- Signe went to her room
- in the morning to comb her hair.
- 990
- 01:45:22,161 --> 01:45:27,721
- Mother was quite impatient
- and asked Signe to hurry up.
- 991
- 01:45:27,881 --> 01:45:32,161
- Then Mother closed her eyes
- and passed away peacefully.
- 992
- 01:45:33,801 --> 01:45:36,481
- She wrote a farewell letter
- to each of us siblings.
- 993
- 01:45:36,641 --> 01:45:39,961
- There's one for you as well.
- 994
- 01:45:43,961 --> 01:45:46,681
- Along with a parcel.
- 995
- 01:45:46,841 --> 01:45:51,401
- She will, of course, be buried
- next to Father in Jutland.
- 996
- 01:45:51,561 --> 01:45:56,721
- Her body will be transported there
- by ship tomorrow afternoon.
- 997
- 01:45:58,281 --> 01:46:04,041
- Prior to the funeral, we're convening
- for a family ceremony by the coffin.
- 998
- 01:46:04,201 --> 01:46:09,041
- Now that we know you're in town,
- we'd be sorry if you missed it.
- 999
- 01:46:09,201 --> 01:46:13,321
- For several reasons,
- it's probably best that I stay away.
- 1000
- 01:46:15,241 --> 01:46:18,881
- I'm sure my fiancée
- would like to attend -
- 1001
- 01:46:19,041 --> 01:46:22,281
- - but she would probably
- be out of place.
- 1002
- 01:46:22,441 --> 01:46:26,441
- - Nor would she be welcome.
- - You're right.
- 1003
- 01:46:27,961 --> 01:46:30,201
- Peter Andreas?
- 1004
- 01:46:30,361 --> 01:46:32,081
- Due to official duties -
- 1005
- 01:46:32,241 --> 01:46:36,121
- - I'm prevented from accompanying
- Mother on her final journey.
- 1006
- 01:46:36,281 --> 01:46:42,601
- I was hoping you'd be able to ignore
- your own obstinacy this once -
- 1007
- 01:46:42,761 --> 01:46:49,041
- - and pay Mother your last respects by
- accompanying the coffin across the sea.
- 1008
- 01:46:50,761 --> 01:46:53,601
- I think you know my answer.
- 1009
- 01:47:30,241 --> 01:47:37,121
- For my son, Peter Andreas, in the
- blessed name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1010
- 01:47:37,281 --> 01:47:43,761
- I write to you, my son, in order to try
- one last time before I close my eyes -
- 1011
- 01:47:43,921 --> 01:47:47,401
- - to speak to your heart.
- 1012
- 01:47:47,561 --> 01:47:53,641
- I know you don't follow the ways of God.
- But it's my sincere hope -
- 1013
- 01:47:53,801 --> 01:48:01,281
- - that you will show your fellow men
- humility and selfless love.
- 1014
- 01:48:44,561 --> 01:48:47,841
- May I have a pen
- and some paper, please?
- 1015
- 01:50:01,201 --> 01:50:03,601
- From earth to earth...
- 1016
- 01:50:06,001 --> 01:50:08,921
- ...ashes to ashes...
- 1017
- 01:50:12,281 --> 01:50:15,321
- ...dust to dust.
- 1018
- 01:51:00,001 --> 01:51:04,041
- - What a nice surprise.
- - I needed a bit of fresh air.
- 1019
- 01:51:04,201 --> 01:51:07,801
- After my mother's funeral,
- I needed some breathing space.
- 1020
- 01:51:07,961 --> 01:51:11,801
- I couldn't think of anywhere
- more beautiful than this area.
- 1021
- 01:51:11,961 --> 01:51:17,001
- - How long will you be staying?
- - A couple of days, before I go back.
- 1022
- 01:51:17,161 --> 01:51:19,001
- Duty calls.
- 1023
- 01:51:19,161 --> 01:51:22,841
- I just came here to thank the reverend
- for his words at the funeral.
- 1024
- 01:51:23,001 --> 01:51:27,721
- Not at all. Your mother was an unusually
- modest and conscientious person -
- 1025
- 01:51:27,881 --> 01:51:29,921
- - to God and her next of kin.
- 1026
- 01:51:30,081 --> 01:51:32,801
- That's how one remembers her.
- 1027
- 01:51:32,961 --> 01:51:38,041
- I cannot claim to have known
- your parents. I met them a few times.
- 1028
- 01:51:38,201 --> 01:51:40,401
- We were almost neighbours.
- 1029
- 01:51:40,561 --> 01:51:42,961
- Reverend Sidenius'
- and my understanding -
- 1030
- 01:51:43,121 --> 01:51:45,841
- - of the function of the Church
- were very different.
- 1031
- 01:51:46,001 --> 01:51:49,881
- But I respect him.
- He was an officious man.
- 1032
- 01:51:51,441 --> 01:51:54,681
- How does it feel to be back?
- 1033
- 01:51:54,841 --> 01:51:58,721
- I've come with mixed emotions.
- I almost fled the area.
- 1034
- 01:51:58,881 --> 01:52:02,681
- But seeing these surroundings again
- has made an impression.
- 1035
- 01:52:02,841 --> 01:52:04,801
- It's overwhelming.
- 1036
- 01:52:04,961 --> 01:52:08,001
- One can gather
- much wisdom from nature.
- 1037
- 01:52:08,161 --> 01:52:13,681
- We read in the newspaper
- about your engagement in Copenhagen.
- 1038
- 01:52:13,841 --> 01:52:17,121
- - Sidenius is not a common name.
- - I see.
- 1039
- 01:52:17,281 --> 01:52:22,121
- I believe your future father-in-law
- is a very wealthy and influential man?
- 1040
- 01:52:22,281 --> 01:52:24,721
- You're marrying into money.
- 1041
- 01:52:24,881 --> 01:52:27,681
- Nice way to escape
- your duty to support your wife.
- 1042
- 01:52:27,841 --> 01:52:29,641
- Father!
- 1043
- 01:52:29,801 --> 01:52:32,881
- At no point has money come into it.
- 1044
- 01:52:33,041 --> 01:52:38,201
- Besides, as an engineer I will make
- enough money to support a family.
- 1045
- 01:52:38,361 --> 01:52:43,761
- This wedding, and I ask from
- a purely professional point of view...
- 1046
- 01:52:43,921 --> 01:52:47,881
- A Jewish woman and the son of
- a clergyman, how do you...?
- 1047
- 01:52:48,041 --> 01:52:52,001
- You're overstepping your mark.
- Stop questioning our visitor.
- 1048
- 01:52:52,161 --> 01:52:56,481
- Would you like to try
- our home-made cake? Inger made it.
- 1049
- 01:52:56,641 --> 01:53:01,521
- Don't be shy.
- There's no need to be modest.
- 1050
- 01:53:02,561 --> 01:53:05,361
- Help yourself.
- 1051
- 01:53:05,521 --> 01:53:07,521
- Well...
- 1052
- 01:53:08,641 --> 01:53:10,401
- Thank you.
- 1053
- 01:53:18,201 --> 01:53:21,921
- Jakobe, do you know
- when Per will return from Jutland?
- 1054
- 01:53:22,081 --> 01:53:25,361
- He sent a short telegram,
- and then he was gone.
- 1055
- 01:53:25,521 --> 01:53:29,241
- So you have no idea
- when we'll be seeing him again?
- 1056
- 01:53:29,401 --> 01:53:32,601
- After the funeral, I assume.
- 1057
- 01:53:32,761 --> 01:53:36,841
- We need to discuss certain principles
- and financial issues before the wedding.
- 1058
- 01:53:37,001 --> 01:53:39,121
- Of course, Father.
- 1059
- 01:53:41,641 --> 01:53:44,801
- You have no idea how much
- I enjoy having left the city.
- 1060
- 01:53:44,961 --> 01:53:50,041
- I assure you that
- life there can be complicated.
- 1061
- 01:53:50,201 --> 01:53:55,241
- Whereas here...
- Have you ever been to Copenhagen?
- 1062
- 01:53:55,401 --> 01:53:59,001
- No, never, but I should like to
- experience a big city.
- 1063
- 01:53:59,161 --> 01:54:03,081
- And see all those classy people
- that you know.
- 1064
- 01:54:05,321 --> 01:54:07,121
- Let me take your gloves.
- 1065
- 01:54:18,241 --> 01:54:23,601
- I have no doubt that your fiancée is
- not only rich, but also beautiful.
- 1066
- 01:55:12,761 --> 01:55:15,921
- I'm sorry, I seem to have startled you.
- 1067
- 01:55:16,081 --> 01:55:21,441
- - Have you come back?
- - I had some errands. And...
- 1068
- 01:55:21,601 --> 01:55:25,841
- I found your gloves in my pocket.
- 1069
- 01:55:26,001 --> 01:55:28,201
- - Here you are.
- - Thank you.
- 1070
- 01:55:28,361 --> 01:55:30,441
- I've looked for them everywhere.
- 1071
- 01:55:30,601 --> 01:55:34,041
- Would you like to go for a stroll?
- 1072
- 01:55:35,681 --> 01:55:37,601
- Yes.
- 1073
- 01:55:40,641 --> 01:55:44,441
- ...and the lock will ensure
- the correct depth of water...
- 1074
- 01:55:44,601 --> 01:55:48,121
- ...so that sea-going ships can pass...
- 1075
- 01:55:48,281 --> 01:55:51,161
- - You're bored.
- - Not at all.
- 1076
- 01:55:59,281 --> 01:56:02,921
- - You seem so serious all of a sudden.
- - I do?
- 1077
- 01:56:06,121 --> 01:56:08,881
- Hopefully, you're not missing
- your fiancée too much?
- 1078
- 01:56:09,041 --> 01:56:13,801
- No, not at all.
- It's because I'm back here.
- 1079
- 01:56:15,361 --> 01:56:21,081
- Away from it all. I almost feel
- homesick. A feeling of happiness.
- 1080
- 01:56:21,241 --> 01:56:23,881
- - Are you not happy in Copenhagen?
- - Yes.
- 1081
- 01:56:24,041 --> 01:56:29,241
- Everything that I've worked hard for...
- And I've worked very hard.
- 1082
- 01:56:29,401 --> 01:56:33,521
- It has become my misfortune.
- 1083
- 01:56:39,401 --> 01:56:43,361
- Well... I'd better get back.
- 1084
- 01:57:52,841 --> 01:57:54,961
- Can't sleep?
- 1085
- 01:57:55,961 --> 01:57:58,441
- Good morning, Reverend.
- Unfortunately not.
- 1086
- 01:57:58,601 --> 01:58:02,761
- - Is it body or soul?
- - My soul.
- 1087
- 01:58:02,921 --> 01:58:08,361
- - Shut out or shut in?
- - Both, I fear.
- 1088
- 01:58:08,521 --> 01:58:13,281
- Come, Mr. Sidenius. Let's walk.
- Tell me.
- 1089
- 01:58:16,121 --> 01:58:19,121
- More than anything, I feel trapped.
- 1090
- 01:58:19,281 --> 01:58:22,241
- I can't sleep because
- I have so many thoughts.
- 1091
- 01:58:24,121 --> 01:58:28,081
- I'm confused.
- I'm tense.
- 1092
- 01:58:28,241 --> 01:58:31,041
- Is this a test?
- 1093
- 01:58:31,201 --> 01:58:35,921
- Is this a punishment?
- The punishment for my life.
- 1094
- 01:58:37,401 --> 01:58:43,001
- Is it God's judgement of my life?
- Is that why I feel so restless?
- 1095
- 01:58:43,161 --> 01:58:45,921
- Or is it homesickness?
- 1096
- 01:58:46,961 --> 01:58:50,001
- Or is it my father's curse
- that makes me so unsettled?
- 1097
- 01:58:50,161 --> 01:58:55,721
- Mr. Sidenius... Don't ruin yourself
- with destructive thoughts.
- 1098
- 01:58:55,881 --> 01:58:58,961
- You're your own enemy and gaoler.
- 1099
- 01:58:59,121 --> 01:59:03,801
- Step outside your prison.
- Don't be afraid. God is with you.
- 1100
- 01:59:03,961 --> 01:59:06,281
- Please, bless me!
- 1101
- 01:59:09,201 --> 01:59:12,601
- Forgive me for
- forsaking Mother and Father!
- 1102
- 01:59:12,761 --> 01:59:18,761
- And for forsaking Ivan. And Jakobe.
- I don't want to do harm anymore.
- 1103
- 01:59:18,921 --> 01:59:23,721
- - Not like this. Stand up.
- - I deserve the punishment.
- 1104
- 01:59:23,881 --> 01:59:28,881
- Humility is Heaven's price
- for providing peace of the soul.
- 1105
- 01:59:29,041 --> 01:59:34,201
- You have taken the first step
- on the path to awareness and humility.
- 1106
- 01:59:34,361 --> 01:59:37,401
- Stay here for a while when I leave.
- 1107
- 01:59:37,561 --> 01:59:40,481
- Cry if you feel like it.
- 1108
- 01:59:42,201 --> 01:59:43,761
- I shall leave you now.
- 1109
- 02:00:39,681 --> 02:00:42,121
- Mr. Sidenius, is that you?
- 1110
- 02:00:42,281 --> 02:00:46,841
- Father and Mother are on a visit,
- but they'll be back shortly.
- 1111
- 02:00:47,001 --> 02:00:49,161
- Would you like a cup of coffee?
- 1112
- 02:01:39,681 --> 02:01:42,961
- You're engaged to be married.
- 1113
- 02:01:43,121 --> 02:01:45,161
- Don't you understand?
- 1114
- 02:01:45,321 --> 02:01:48,081
- You want to be mine.
- 1115
- 02:02:16,281 --> 02:02:21,801
- It's lovely that you're back
- from Jutland. I missed you so much.
- 1116
- 02:02:21,961 --> 02:02:25,921
- I tried to persuade Mother and Father
- to return early from the country house.
- 1117
- 02:02:26,081 --> 02:02:28,401
- I wanted to be here
- when you came back.
- 1118
- 02:02:28,561 --> 02:02:32,081
- But you know how Father enjoys
- spending time away from the city.
- 1119
- 02:02:32,241 --> 02:02:35,721
- - Will you go there with me tonight?
- - Yes.
- 1120
- 02:02:37,441 --> 02:02:40,881
- This is where
- my bridal dress is being made.
- 1121
- 02:02:41,041 --> 02:02:45,601
- And that's all I'm telling.
- It will be simple and elegant.
- 1122
- 02:02:45,761 --> 02:02:48,801
- I picked up the tickets to England.
- 1123
- 02:02:48,961 --> 02:02:53,521
- First, we'll take the train to Esbjerg
- and then get on the boat to Harwich.
- 1124
- 02:02:53,681 --> 02:03:00,401
- And then it'll be just me and you.
- Our engagement trip. I can't wait.
- 1125
- 02:03:01,721 --> 02:03:04,801
- Aren't you excited about my big news?
- 1126
- 02:03:10,441 --> 02:03:16,321
- You look so serious. Are you still
- thinking about your mother's funeral?
- 1127
- 02:03:16,481 --> 02:03:19,081
- Yes, of course, but Jakobe...
- 1128
- 02:03:20,281 --> 02:03:22,361
- We need to talk.
- 1129
- 02:03:22,521 --> 02:03:27,121
- If it's about the wedding, Father wants
- you to get in touch as soon as possible.
- 1130
- 02:03:27,281 --> 02:03:29,921
- He wants to meet
- with you and the solicitor.
- 1131
- 02:03:35,121 --> 02:03:36,761
- Thank you.
- 1132
- 02:03:36,921 --> 02:03:39,841
- No, it's more serious than that.
- 1133
- 02:03:42,041 --> 02:03:47,161
- Jakobe... You're the most
- perfect person I've ever met.
- 1134
- 02:03:49,521 --> 02:03:54,601
- You've meant so much to me.
- No one has meant more to me.
- 1135
- 02:03:56,121 --> 02:03:59,681
- But we're facing a huge decision.
- 1136
- 02:03:59,841 --> 02:04:03,041
- Lately, I've been thinking...
- 1137
- 02:04:04,041 --> 02:04:07,241
- I've been thinking whether...
- 1138
- 02:04:08,241 --> 02:04:10,401
- Whether we belong together.
- 1139
- 02:04:11,641 --> 02:04:15,921
- And whether
- we've ever belonged together.
- 1140
- 02:04:16,081 --> 02:04:20,601
- Perhaps the whole thing
- was just a notion on my part.
- 1141
- 02:04:20,761 --> 02:04:23,881
- - On your part?
- - Yes.
- 1142
- 02:04:24,041 --> 02:04:30,321
- Yes. Maybe it was all a mistake,
- because I insisted too hard.
- 1143
- 02:04:30,481 --> 02:04:37,041
- And lately, I've been thinking
- that perhaps we're too different.
- 1144
- 02:04:38,401 --> 02:04:43,601
- And that perhaps
- we'd never be truly happy together.
- 1145
- 02:04:43,761 --> 02:04:45,961
- In the long run.
- 1146
- 02:04:46,121 --> 02:04:49,041
- You don't think we could?
- 1147
- 02:04:50,201 --> 02:04:52,401
- I have my doubts.
- 1148
- 02:04:52,561 --> 02:04:56,441
- So it's probably for the best -
- 1149
- 02:04:56,601 --> 02:05:02,641
- - that we end it now,
- before any harm has come to anyone.
- 1150
- 02:05:03,921 --> 02:05:07,401
- So you break off the engagement?
- 1151
- 02:05:11,121 --> 02:05:14,001
- I'm very sorry, Jakobe.
- 1152
- 02:05:18,521 --> 02:05:22,081
- How can you speak of...
- 1153
- 02:05:23,441 --> 02:05:28,041
- How can you speak of our relationship
- as something which only existed -
- 1154
- 02:05:28,201 --> 02:05:34,721
- - because you wanted it to?
- As if I never loved you?
- 1155
- 02:05:37,401 --> 02:05:41,761
- Don't you understand that
- I almost perished with love -
- 1156
- 02:05:41,921 --> 02:05:44,601
- - and longing for you?
- 1157
- 02:05:47,961 --> 02:05:53,841
- Perhaps you don't understand what
- it means to love another person.
- 1158
- 02:05:54,001 --> 02:05:59,321
- Maybe you only know
- the unfavourable side of passion.
- 1159
- 02:06:00,361 --> 02:06:03,281
- Self-absorption and conceitedness.
- 1160
- 02:06:04,721 --> 02:06:08,641
- You see, we're too different.
- 1161
- 02:06:10,121 --> 02:06:11,801
- Right?
- 1162
- 02:06:11,961 --> 02:06:14,801
- Why don't you just come out with it?
- 1163
- 02:06:17,121 --> 02:06:21,481
- I beseech you, at least be honest.
- 1164
- 02:06:21,641 --> 02:06:24,641
- Is there someone else?
- 1165
- 02:06:26,681 --> 02:06:30,081
- You're just pointing out
- that we're too different.
- 1166
- 02:06:30,241 --> 02:06:32,481
- Tell me the truth!
- 1167
- 02:06:34,481 --> 02:06:39,601
- I would respect you if
- you'd just be honest this one time.
- 1168
- 02:06:39,761 --> 02:06:43,681
- Just admit that
- you're in love with someone else!
- 1169
- 02:06:48,321 --> 02:06:51,721
- I guess that's
- the Sidenius family's trait.
- 1170
- 02:06:51,881 --> 02:06:58,801
- That your inner, stunted emotions
- need to be so solemn. Good Lord!
- 1171
- 02:07:00,561 --> 02:07:04,401
- They only cover up your vanity.
- 1172
- 02:07:05,401 --> 02:07:07,721
- Your immaturity.
- 1173
- 02:07:08,721 --> 02:07:14,441
- I understand that you're angry, Jakobe.
- I really do understand.
- 1174
- 02:07:14,601 --> 02:07:19,921
- And I'm sorry it had to end this way.
- I really am.
- 1175
- 02:07:20,081 --> 02:07:23,841
- At least I won't have
- to take your barbaric name.
- 1176
- 02:07:27,041 --> 02:07:33,321
- Please tell your father that
- I intend to repay every penny -
- 1177
- 02:07:33,481 --> 02:07:37,081
- - of the money he lent me.
- 1178
- 02:07:39,481 --> 02:07:42,201
- With compound interest.
- 1179
- 02:08:01,801 --> 02:08:05,921
- Anna? Please have these
- delivered to Mr. Sidenius.
- 1180
- 02:08:06,081 --> 02:08:08,241
- Yes, Miss Salomon.
- 1181
- 02:08:14,201 --> 02:08:18,481
- Please insert this advertisement
- in the Berlingske Gazette.
- 1182
- 02:08:18,641 --> 02:08:21,161
- "Philip Salomon and his wife
- regret to announce -
- 1183
- 02:08:21,321 --> 02:08:23,881
- - that the engagement
- of their daughter Jakobe -
- 1184
- 02:08:24,041 --> 02:08:27,041
- - to Mr. Sidenius has been called off."
- 1185
- 02:08:32,121 --> 02:08:35,081
- - Is this a joke?
- - No, unfortunately not.
- 1186
- 02:08:35,241 --> 02:08:36,841
- Why wasn't I told?
- 1187
- 02:08:37,001 --> 02:08:39,441
- We were never
- particularly taken by this...
- 1188
- 02:08:39,601 --> 02:08:42,761
- What about his project?
- Our investment!
- 1189
- 02:08:42,921 --> 02:08:47,481
- He signed a contract which clearly
- outlined the conditions of repayment.
- 1190
- 02:08:47,641 --> 02:08:54,161
- As security for the loan, I'd give you
- the patent for my invention.
- 1191
- 02:08:55,161 --> 02:09:01,721
- I'd appreciate it if the money
- was paid out as soon as possible.
- 1192
- 02:09:01,881 --> 02:09:04,921
- I don't know the value of your machines.
- 1193
- 02:09:05,081 --> 02:09:11,161
- My decision is influenced by the fact
- that I've recently learned -
- 1194
- 02:09:11,321 --> 02:09:15,761
- - that your engagement
- to Miss Salomon has been called off.
- 1195
- 02:09:20,681 --> 02:09:22,121
- That's why I suggested...
- 1196
- 02:09:22,281 --> 02:09:26,801
- On principle, we as a business
- never get involved in anything -
- 1197
- 02:09:26,961 --> 02:09:30,281
- - if we can't get a bank security.
- 1198
- 02:09:31,681 --> 02:09:36,041
- So unfortunately, Mr. Sidenius,
- we're unable to grant you a loan.
- 1199
- 02:09:56,721 --> 02:09:57,841
- Mother?
- 1200
- 02:10:00,681 --> 02:10:02,081
- Yes, child.
- 1201
- 02:10:02,241 --> 02:10:08,561
- Remember, I talked about visiting
- my friend Rebekka in Breslau?
- 1202
- 02:10:08,721 --> 02:10:13,801
- - Yes.
- - I think I'd like to do that now.
- 1203
- 02:10:13,961 --> 02:10:18,561
- But I don't have enough money for the
- journey. Will you ask Father for help?
- 1204
- 02:10:18,721 --> 02:10:23,321
- - When will you be leaving?
- - As soon as possible.
- 1205
- 02:10:23,481 --> 02:10:25,801
- Perhaps tomorrow.
- 1206
- 02:10:43,841 --> 02:10:47,001
- So that's why it's been
- so hard to reach you.
- 1207
- 02:10:47,161 --> 02:10:50,161
- Has it? I apologise.
- 1208
- 02:10:51,601 --> 02:10:57,361
- Does anyone know?
- Not even your sister or Ivan?
- 1209
- 02:10:57,521 --> 02:11:04,281
- Only Rebekka knows.
- She knows a good doctor.
- 1210
- 02:11:04,441 --> 02:11:10,881
- Don't trouble Father with this.
- I'll get you the money for everything.
- 1211
- 02:11:11,041 --> 02:11:14,081
- And make sure to rest afterwards.
- 1212
- 02:11:14,241 --> 02:11:19,841
- If anyone asks, we'll say you needed to
- get away, after Per broke it off.
- 1213
- 02:11:29,001 --> 02:11:35,001
- How do you expect to carry out
- the project now? Without Salomon?
- 1214
- 02:11:35,161 --> 02:11:38,361
- Without the banking sector and
- the manufacturing sector's man?
- 1215
- 02:11:38,521 --> 02:11:44,961
- And what about Bjerregrav?
- You're mad.
- 1216
- 02:11:45,121 --> 02:11:50,721
- - How about a small loan?
- - And what would you need that for?
- 1217
- 02:11:52,721 --> 02:11:57,281
- I owe Salomon money,
- and I'm getting married in Jutland.
- 1218
- 02:11:57,441 --> 02:11:59,321
- I won't lend you any money.
- 1219
- 02:12:01,521 --> 02:12:05,761
- When I heard you were no longer
- Philip Salomon's son-in-law -
- 1220
- 02:12:05,921 --> 02:12:07,961
- - it made no sense to me.
- 1221
- 02:12:08,121 --> 02:12:13,761
- How can an ambitious young man like
- you renounce such an opportunity?
- 1222
- 02:12:13,921 --> 02:12:16,961
- It still doesn't make sense to me.
- 1223
- 02:12:31,001 --> 02:12:32,481
- Jakobe?
- 1224
- 02:12:33,841 --> 02:12:35,441
- Jakobe?
- 1225
- 02:12:50,161 --> 02:12:57,681
- First, I'd like to make the apology
- I owe you. I apologise, sir.
- 1226
- 02:12:57,841 --> 02:13:03,281
- You see, I currently find myself
- in straitened circumstances.
- 1227
- 02:13:03,441 --> 02:13:08,361
- I ask for your kind understanding.
- 1228
- 02:13:08,521 --> 02:13:14,041
- I was hoping you might once again
- consider my project -
- 1229
- 02:13:14,201 --> 02:13:16,041
- - under your skilful supervision -
- 1230
- 02:13:16,201 --> 02:13:20,001
- - in order to introduce it
- to affluent investors -
- 1231
- 02:13:20,161 --> 02:13:23,761
- - who might advance me the money.
- 1232
- 02:13:24,841 --> 02:13:30,241
- I'm afraid it's too late, Mr. Sidenius.
- Thank you for coming.
- 1233
- 02:13:31,641 --> 02:13:37,361
- You may remember me from the time
- when I was poor. How times do change.
- 1234
- 02:13:37,521 --> 02:13:44,361
- You see, I'm getting married to
- a wealthy baroness from Jutland.
- 1235
- 02:13:44,521 --> 02:13:49,201
- Since I'm leaving the city,
- I might as well get rid of these things.
- 1236
- 02:13:49,361 --> 02:13:54,601
- You will notice that the suits are made
- from the finest Italian wool.
- 1237
- 02:13:54,761 --> 02:13:56,601
- I'll give you three kroner.
- 1238
- 02:13:56,761 --> 02:14:01,881
- The bust is part of the bargain.
- It's made by one of Germany's finest...
- 1239
- 02:14:02,041 --> 02:14:06,641
- I can't sell it. And the books are in
- German. Nobody buys German books.
- 1240
- 02:14:08,161 --> 02:14:14,121
- - But... You can have the drawings too.
- - I can't sell used paper.
- 1241
- 02:14:15,481 --> 02:14:19,361
- No... And the way to God
- is the way of trial.
- 1242
- 02:14:19,521 --> 02:14:22,921
- I have no idea what
- you're babbling about. Three kroner.
- 1243
- 02:14:23,081 --> 02:14:27,121
- Do you know who I am?
- No you don't, but let me enlighten you.
- 1244
- 02:14:27,281 --> 02:14:30,441
- A son of God. A genius!
- 1245
- 02:14:30,601 --> 02:14:34,241
- All that are bred and born in darkness
- will one day appear -
- 1246
- 02:14:34,401 --> 02:14:37,401
- - and sentence shall be passed
- upon them. Keep your money!
- 1247
- 02:14:37,561 --> 02:14:41,681
- But beware!
- Beware His intrepid curse!
- 1248
- 02:15:57,321 --> 02:16:00,321
- Young Mr. Sidenius?
- 1249
- 02:16:01,321 --> 02:16:07,041
- It's been a long time.
- Is there anything I can do for you?
- 1250
- 02:16:09,081 --> 02:16:13,081
- Would you ask Jakobe
- to come down here?
- 1251
- 02:16:13,241 --> 02:16:18,481
- She's gone out of town,
- and will be away for some time.
- 1252
- 02:16:21,361 --> 02:16:24,281
- Look at the state of you!
- 1253
- 02:16:27,481 --> 02:16:29,681
- Do you remember
- our first conversation?
- 1254
- 02:16:29,841 --> 02:16:35,001
- Fortune favours fools,
- and success is the father of regret.
- 1255
- 02:16:35,161 --> 02:16:39,401
- Well...
- Pride goes before a fall.
- 1256
- 02:17:14,921 --> 02:17:17,041
- There you go.
- 1257
- 02:17:24,321 --> 02:17:26,481
- That looks fine. Hagbart?
- 1258
- 02:17:31,561 --> 02:17:34,841
- Stand still. Straighten your back.
- 1259
- 02:17:36,401 --> 02:17:39,081
- That looks fine. Nails!
- 1260
- 02:17:43,361 --> 02:17:45,441
- The other hand.
- 1261
- 02:17:49,841 --> 02:17:53,161
- - And keep your back straight!
- - Lift your arms.
- 1262
- 02:18:07,441 --> 02:18:10,681
- Receive the Apostolic blessing.
- 1263
- 02:18:10,841 --> 02:18:14,521
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ -
- 1264
- 02:18:14,681 --> 02:18:22,081
- - and the love of God and the fellowship
- of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
- 1265
- 02:18:22,241 --> 02:18:24,081
- Amen.
- 1266
- 02:18:54,401 --> 02:18:59,121
- - Hello, Jakobe.
- - Eybert. It's been a long time.
- 1267
- 02:18:59,281 --> 02:19:00,961
- Indeed.
- 1268
- 02:19:01,961 --> 02:19:05,641
- - You've been out of town.
- - We've opened an office in Germany.
- 1269
- 02:19:05,801 --> 02:19:10,321
- So the girls are now fluent in German.
- They send their love.
- 1270
- 02:19:10,481 --> 02:19:13,081
- Give them my love.
- 1271
- 02:19:13,241 --> 02:19:16,441
- I apologise if I'm imposing on you...
- 1272
- 02:19:16,601 --> 02:19:20,641
- But I want you to know that I've put
- all the disappointments behind me.
- 1273
- 02:19:20,801 --> 02:19:25,881
- Time heals all wounds, as they say.
- All is forgiven.
- 1274
- 02:19:27,281 --> 02:19:33,201
- I want to ask you,
- now that everything's changed -
- 1275
- 02:19:33,361 --> 02:19:38,081
- - if you'd like to, when
- it's convenient for you, of course -
- 1276
- 02:19:38,241 --> 02:19:42,441
- - let me take you to the tearoom?
- 1277
- 02:19:43,481 --> 02:19:47,241
- Or to dinner. You and me.
- 1278
- 02:19:50,721 --> 02:19:53,321
- Dear Eybert.
- 1279
- 02:19:53,481 --> 02:19:58,401
- You've always been
- so good and considerate to me.
- 1280
- 02:19:59,401 --> 02:20:01,841
- Can we try again, Jakobe?
- 1281
- 02:20:02,001 --> 02:20:07,361
- I'm sure you would have been
- the most loving husband to me.
- 1282
- 02:20:08,641 --> 02:20:14,081
- But we would never be happy.
- You see, I don't love you.
- 1283
- 02:20:36,481 --> 02:20:38,161
- Damn, another disruption!
- 1284
- 02:20:42,281 --> 02:20:47,281
- First of all, Per, how is
- your project for the future going?
- 1285
- 02:20:47,441 --> 02:20:52,721
- I'm just finishing up a project
- for the new port of Esbjerg.
- 1286
- 02:20:52,881 --> 02:20:58,201
- It will be the centre, or rather the
- junction, for European shipping traffic.
- 1287
- 02:20:58,361 --> 02:21:04,401
- - There'll be docks, shipyards and...
- - And how will you accomplish that?
- 1288
- 02:21:04,561 --> 02:21:09,241
- Well, the authorities are neither
- to be led nor driven...
- 1289
- 02:21:09,401 --> 02:21:11,481
- I understand.
- 1290
- 02:21:11,641 --> 02:21:17,361
- And when you're not working on
- your vision for the future?
- 1291
- 02:21:17,521 --> 02:21:20,401
- As you know,
- I'm helping out around the house.
- 1292
- 02:21:20,561 --> 02:21:23,961
- Other than that,
- I spend time contemplating.
- 1293
- 02:21:24,121 --> 02:21:26,961
- The fact of the matter is, Per -
- 1294
- 02:21:27,121 --> 02:21:31,241
- - that a small home like yours
- and Inger's with three children -
- 1295
- 02:21:31,401 --> 02:21:38,001
- - involves expenses, right?
- Your bills are not being paid.
- 1296
- 02:21:38,161 --> 02:21:43,321
- I'm mentioning it because I can't keep
- supporting you on my modest wages.
- 1297
- 02:21:44,321 --> 02:21:47,321
- I'm here to work out a solution.
- 1298
- 02:21:47,481 --> 02:21:50,281
- It's obvious that
- you're having money problems.
- 1299
- 02:21:50,441 --> 02:21:55,561
- I insist on not having any tutelage.
- 1300
- 02:21:55,721 --> 02:21:59,881
- I strongly ask you
- not to speak to me in that manner.
- 1301
- 02:22:00,041 --> 02:22:04,601
- I'm here to work out a solution
- to your family responsibilities.
- 1302
- 02:22:12,441 --> 02:22:17,761
- Listen, Per. Yesterday, I met
- the young, rich landowner, Mr. Brück.
- 1303
- 02:22:17,921 --> 02:22:21,161
- He's heard of your engineering skills.
- 1304
- 02:22:21,321 --> 02:22:26,281
- He needs some water regulation for
- the streams on his estate this spring.
- 1305
- 02:22:26,441 --> 02:22:29,041
- I suggested he contact you.
- 1306
- 02:22:34,721 --> 02:22:37,881
- - W... w... welcome, Mr. Sidenius.
- - Thank you.
- 1307
- 02:22:38,041 --> 02:22:41,481
- My wife Inger. I believe
- you two already know each other.
- 1308
- 02:22:41,641 --> 02:22:44,401
- Yes, s... s... since childhood.
- 1309
- 02:22:44,561 --> 02:22:47,121
- - Welcome, Inger.
- - Thank you.
- 1310
- 02:22:47,281 --> 02:22:49,201
- It's nice to be back here.
- 1311
- 02:22:49,361 --> 02:22:55,361
- - Shall we walk?
- - Yes. If you'll help carry this.
- 1312
- 02:22:55,521 --> 02:22:58,201
- A simple drainage system must be -
- 1313
- 02:22:58,361 --> 02:23:02,401
- - a m... m... mere trifle for
- an engineer such as yourself.
- 1314
- 02:23:02,561 --> 02:23:05,481
- On the contrary.
- I'm happy to help out.
- 1315
- 02:23:09,041 --> 02:23:11,721
- D... d... do you see possibilities,
- Mr. Sidenius?
- 1316
- 02:23:11,881 --> 02:23:15,761
- Yes, absolutely. With a few changes
- to the bed of the stream -
- 1317
- 02:23:15,921 --> 02:23:20,161
- - we can lower the ground-water level,
- so the soil can be used as arable land.
- 1318
- 02:23:20,321 --> 02:23:23,801
- It requires some powerful pumps
- by the barrage.
- 1319
- 02:23:23,961 --> 02:23:29,401
- They could be driven by mills.
- One per pumping station.
- 1320
- 02:23:29,561 --> 02:23:34,241
- I'd forgotten that the meadow extends
- all the way to the lake.
- 1321
- 02:23:35,641 --> 02:23:39,321
- Would you mind if I brought
- the children here, Mr. Brück?
- 1322
- 02:23:39,481 --> 02:23:45,681
- No, of... of course. They can s... s...
- swim and f... fish as much as they like.
- 1323
- 02:23:45,841 --> 02:23:49,361
- The rowing boats
- are there for that purpose.
- 1324
- 02:24:32,201 --> 02:24:34,201
- Have you been here all day?
- 1325
- 02:24:36,041 --> 02:24:38,561
- Are you cold?
- 1326
- 02:24:41,641 --> 02:24:44,441
- I like your braids.
- 1327
- 02:24:44,601 --> 02:24:47,401
- Did you do them yourself?
- 1328
- 02:24:57,641 --> 02:25:01,041
- - Can I help?
- - Yes, you can give the children bread.
- 1329
- 02:25:10,921 --> 02:25:14,841
- - Excuse me, who are you?
- - I was just passing by.
- 1330
- 02:25:15,001 --> 02:25:20,201
- - My name is Jakobe Salomon.
- - Do you know where you are?
- 1331
- 02:25:20,361 --> 02:25:22,801
- This is the YWCA.
- 1332
- 02:25:22,961 --> 02:25:27,921
- I'm sure you understand why
- we can't have people of your faith here.
- 1333
- 02:25:28,081 --> 02:25:33,681
- - My faith?
- - The YWCA is a Christian movement.
- 1334
- 02:25:38,561 --> 02:25:41,561
- I understand. I'm sorry.
- 1335
- 02:25:52,561 --> 02:25:56,481
- This is what
- makes it turn with the wind.
- 1336
- 02:25:56,641 --> 02:26:02,521
- When the wind hits it,
- the sails rotate like this.
- 1337
- 02:26:02,681 --> 02:26:08,401
- That creates electricity,
- which creates a current.
- 1338
- 02:26:08,561 --> 02:26:11,441
- Do you understand? Right there.
- 1339
- 02:26:11,601 --> 02:26:13,641
- No!
- 1340
- 02:26:13,801 --> 02:26:16,121
- You broke it!
- 1341
- 02:26:16,281 --> 02:26:21,241
- Get down! Don't be so clumsy!
- And apologise to Father.
- 1342
- 02:26:21,401 --> 02:26:24,521
- Apologise to Father!
- 1343
- 02:26:24,681 --> 02:26:26,561
- Apologise to Father, Hagbart.
- 1344
- 02:26:28,721 --> 02:26:33,561
- Hagbart! You come back
- and apologise to Father!
- 1345
- 02:27:01,081 --> 02:27:06,241
- - Are the children asleep?
- - Ingeborg and Lise are fast asleep.
- 1346
- 02:27:06,401 --> 02:27:09,561
- Hagbart complains of a stomach ache.
- 1347
- 02:27:12,121 --> 02:27:15,361
- I'm sure he'll go to sleep soon.
- 1348
- 02:27:18,401 --> 02:27:23,041
- Please, will you not
- speak so harshly to him?
- 1349
- 02:27:23,201 --> 02:27:26,961
- He's a sensitive boy.
- 1350
- 02:27:28,761 --> 02:27:30,401
- Sure.
- 1351
- 02:27:30,561 --> 02:27:35,121
- He's a clever little boy
- who misses his father.
- 1352
- 02:27:37,641 --> 02:27:42,801
- - Are you coming to bed?
- - When I've read the paper.
- 1353
- 02:27:43,841 --> 02:27:46,641
- - Goodnight, dear.
- - Goodnight.
- 1354
- 02:27:55,361 --> 02:27:59,801
- I know I've disappointed you by not
- getting married and having children.
- 1355
- 02:28:00,801 --> 02:28:07,761
- Instead, in accordance with our family
- tradition, I want to help the needy.
- 1356
- 02:28:07,921 --> 02:28:13,441
- So I've decided to found
- a charity school here in Copenhagen.
- 1357
- 02:28:13,601 --> 02:28:18,401
- I know it will cost me
- my whole inheritance.
- 1358
- 02:28:20,361 --> 02:28:23,521
- But since I have no one to leave it to -
- 1359
- 02:28:23,681 --> 02:28:27,161
- - I can't think of
- a more meaningful way of spending it.
- 1360
- 02:28:27,321 --> 02:28:33,721
- - Miss Salomon, we're ready.
- - Gather round, children! Come here.
- 1361
- 02:28:34,881 --> 02:28:37,601
- You need to face this way.
- 1362
- 02:28:37,761 --> 02:28:41,161
- And move that way a little.
- I think we're ready.
- 1363
- 02:28:41,321 --> 02:28:46,801
- - Look at that handsome gentleman.
- - Look into the box.
- 1364
- 02:28:46,961 --> 02:28:53,721
- And stand completely still.
- One, two, three... Thank you!
- 1365
- 02:28:53,881 --> 02:28:58,641
- Our children hardly ever
- see their parents. They work all day.
- 1366
- 02:28:58,801 --> 02:29:04,881
- Normal schools are so wretched,
- they seem more like penal institutions.
- 1367
- 02:29:05,041 --> 02:29:12,201
- Children in need are brutalised by
- police who send them to the poorhouse.
- 1368
- 02:29:12,361 --> 02:29:15,401
- And the one person who could
- teach them wisdom -
- 1369
- 02:29:15,561 --> 02:29:19,681
- - the vicar, speaks only
- of doomsday and hell.
- 1370
- 02:29:19,841 --> 02:29:23,321
- So how will these children ever learn
- to love their neighbours -
- 1371
- 02:29:23,481 --> 02:29:25,601
- - and become decent human beings?
- 1372
- 02:29:25,761 --> 02:29:30,481
- Little by little, I want to turn
- the school into an alternative school.
- 1373
- 02:29:30,641 --> 02:29:33,921
- A place of refuge, a sanctuary.
- 1374
- 02:29:34,081 --> 02:29:40,361
- I have personally observed how
- a bad childhood can scar a person.
- 1375
- 02:29:40,521 --> 02:29:46,681
- I wanted to create a place, which
- can help break the social inheritance.
- 1376
- 02:29:55,921 --> 02:29:57,921
- Come in, Hagbart.
- 1377
- 02:29:59,681 --> 02:30:02,841
- Mother told me
- to say goodnight to you.
- 1378
- 02:30:03,001 --> 02:30:05,081
- Yes. Come in.
- 1379
- 02:30:05,241 --> 02:30:09,761
- I made this because
- I broke the other mill.
- 1380
- 02:30:16,601 --> 02:30:18,841
- Thank you.
- 1381
- 02:30:34,481 --> 02:30:36,241
- You're not afraid of Father, are you?
- 1382
- 02:30:40,401 --> 02:30:42,641
- You and I will work it out.
- 1383
- 02:31:19,441 --> 02:31:22,241
- Do you want me to leave?
- 1384
- 02:31:23,561 --> 02:31:26,401
- Why do you ask?
- 1385
- 02:31:26,561 --> 02:31:31,441
- You seem as if
- you'd rather be on your own.
- 1386
- 02:31:31,601 --> 02:31:36,121
- I know you're having a hard time.
- Can't you speak to my father?
- 1387
- 02:31:36,281 --> 02:31:40,321
- Maybe he can help you
- find solace in God.
- 1388
- 02:31:40,481 --> 02:31:45,401
- Wherever I've searched for Him,
- I've only found myself.
- 1389
- 02:31:47,601 --> 02:31:52,201
- God is superfluous
- to he who has found himself.
- 1390
- 02:31:53,801 --> 02:31:56,441
- What's wrong, Per?
- 1391
- 02:32:01,681 --> 02:32:05,761
- There are people
- who are drawn to disaster.
- 1392
- 02:32:09,161 --> 02:32:14,481
- People who can only find emancipation
- in hopelessness and solitude.
- 1393
- 02:32:16,921 --> 02:32:19,321
- What are you saying?
- 1394
- 02:32:24,401 --> 02:32:29,801
- I sometimes think it would be better for
- you and the children if I weren't here.
- 1395
- 02:32:32,841 --> 02:32:37,201
- You must promise me
- not to be dragged down with me.
- 1396
- 02:33:20,681 --> 02:33:25,001
- - There's the birthday boy!
- - You look very dapper.
- 1397
- 02:33:25,161 --> 02:33:30,601
- - Happy birthday, Hagbart.
- - Bow and say thank you, Hagbart.
- 1398
- 02:33:30,761 --> 02:33:33,361
- - Hello, Mr. Brück.
- - Hello.
- 1399
- 02:33:34,801 --> 02:33:39,721
- - H... h... happy birthday, Hagbart.
- - Bow and say thank you.
- 1400
- 02:33:39,881 --> 02:33:45,161
- - Thank you for in... in... inviting me.
- - We're glad you could make it.
- 1401
- 02:33:46,321 --> 02:33:48,401
- Come in.
- 1402
- 02:33:58,361 --> 02:34:03,121
- - Here comes the birthday cake!
- - Happy birthday, Hagbart.
- 1403
- 02:34:03,281 --> 02:34:06,321
- Can you help yourself?
- 1404
- 02:34:06,481 --> 02:34:09,441
- Maybe Brück can help you.
- 1405
- 02:34:10,881 --> 02:34:13,921
- I've launched the boat.
- 1406
- 02:34:14,081 --> 02:34:17,761
- Perhaps you'd like to
- come and try it out, Hagbart?
- 1407
- 02:34:17,921 --> 02:34:19,841
- It'll make for a nice afternoon.
- 1408
- 02:34:20,001 --> 02:34:24,441
- - A large piece for you.
- - Pass along the plates.
- 1409
- 02:34:27,601 --> 02:34:32,161
- Here's to a happy birthday.
- And thank you all for coming.
- 1410
- 02:34:32,321 --> 02:34:34,641
- Happy birthday, Hagbart.
- 1411
- 02:34:47,681 --> 02:34:52,721
- He must have been a good boy all year
- to get such a sunny day.
- 1412
- 02:34:52,881 --> 02:34:55,561
- His behaviour has been exemplary.
- 1413
- 02:34:56,721 --> 02:34:58,841
- I need to leave.
- 1414
- 02:34:59,001 --> 02:35:02,481
- I forgot to tell
- the people at the lock something.
- 1415
- 02:35:02,641 --> 02:35:06,641
- Do you have to do that right now?
- It's Hagbart's birthday.
- 1416
- 02:35:06,801 --> 02:35:09,561
- I'll be back soon.
- 1417
- 02:35:58,721 --> 02:36:01,401
- Are you satisfied now?
- 1418
- 02:36:45,361 --> 02:36:49,281
- JAKOBE SALOMON HAS OPENED
- CHARITY SCHOOL IN COPENHAGEN.
- 1419
- 02:37:16,161 --> 02:37:17,961
- Miss Salomon?
- 1420
- 02:37:18,121 --> 02:37:22,281
- - I have a letter for you.
- - Thank you.
- 1421
- 02:38:04,161 --> 02:38:07,161
- You came after all.
- 1422
- 02:38:07,321 --> 02:38:10,521
- It's been such a long time.
- 1423
- 02:38:24,961 --> 02:38:30,521
- So this is how you live.
- Here, in the wilderness.
- 1424
- 02:38:30,681 --> 02:38:36,321
- I've felt alienated -
- 1425
- 02:38:36,481 --> 02:38:40,481
- - and rootless all my life.
- 1426
- 02:38:40,641 --> 02:38:47,321
- But out here, I've finally become
- conscious of who I am.
- 1427
- 02:38:49,001 --> 02:38:52,161
- In my ungodly solitude.
- 1428
- 02:38:53,601 --> 02:38:59,361
- Without it, I would merely
- have been half a human being.
- 1429
- 02:38:59,521 --> 02:39:02,281
- A Sidenius always.
- 1430
- 02:39:03,441 --> 02:39:06,081
- So now I feel liberated.
- 1431
- 02:39:08,801 --> 02:39:11,321
- I've followed you from a distance.
- 1432
- 02:39:11,481 --> 02:39:14,721
- I knew you were ill,
- but not that it was this serious.
- 1433
- 02:39:14,881 --> 02:39:19,961
- It's cancer. The doctor says
- I don't have long to live.
- 1434
- 02:39:21,201 --> 02:39:24,201
- Would you like a cup of coffee?
- 1435
- 02:39:41,081 --> 02:39:44,041
- Tell me about Copenhagen.
- 1436
- 02:39:47,401 --> 02:39:50,041
- We speak of you often.
- 1437
- 02:39:52,121 --> 02:39:58,321
- Despite the racket back then, Father and
- Ivan agree that you did the right thing.
- 1438
- 02:39:59,561 --> 02:40:03,681
- One day, I'm sure
- the world will realise the grandeur -
- 1439
- 02:40:03,841 --> 02:40:07,241
- - and necessity in your national works.
- 1440
- 02:40:09,681 --> 02:40:12,321
- That's something I wanted to ask you...
- 1441
- 02:40:13,521 --> 02:40:19,521
- Will you display my project
- and my model at your school?
- 1442
- 02:40:21,041 --> 02:40:23,721
- As a kind of inspiration
- to the children.
- 1443
- 02:40:23,881 --> 02:40:29,681
- Yes, of course.
- Of course that's where it should be.
- 1444
- 02:40:29,841 --> 02:40:34,001
- The real reason I wrote
- and asked you to come...
- 1445
- 02:40:36,001 --> 02:40:38,601
- I wanted to give you this.
- 1446
- 02:40:42,241 --> 02:40:47,721
- It's my last will.
- Your school is the sole beneficiary.
- 1447
- 02:40:47,881 --> 02:40:51,921
- It's 12,600 kroner.
- 1448
- 02:40:52,081 --> 02:40:58,001
- It's not a lot, but it's what I've been
- able to save up through the years.
- 1449
- 02:40:59,041 --> 02:41:01,921
- And I wanted to ask...
- 1450
- 02:41:02,081 --> 02:41:06,281
- ...if you find yourself able
- to receive this gift.
- 1451
- 02:41:07,681 --> 02:41:10,201
- Why shouldn't I?
- 1452
- 02:41:12,321 --> 02:41:15,601
- Even though
- you and I are very different...
- 1453
- 02:41:17,041 --> 02:41:21,361
- ...I'm not sure
- I ever really understood you.
- 1454
- 02:41:21,521 --> 02:41:24,961
- But that makes me
- even more grateful for this gift.
- 1455
- 02:41:30,641 --> 02:41:33,641
- Did I hurt you deeply?
- 1456
- 02:41:39,361 --> 02:41:43,401
- I wouldn't change a thing about my life.
- 1457
- 02:41:45,321 --> 02:41:50,601
- On the contrary,
- I feel very happy to have known you.
- 1458
- 02:41:50,761 --> 02:41:56,641
- Only with the joy and sorrow which
- you caused, did my life gain meaning.
- 1459
- 02:41:59,161 --> 02:42:06,001
- The school which I've created,
- is as much your work as it is mine.
- 1460
- 02:42:09,121 --> 02:42:13,961
- In a way, they all turned out
- to be our children.
- 1461
- 02:42:33,201 --> 02:42:35,801
- Thank you.
