I think you should make Christmas presents, Ulla.
At least for Sofie. Poor Sofie.
She doesn't have much space. There's no room for me.
Sit still, Rulle. When are you going to learn?
You ought to be more grateful.
What if we had to live with Sofie? We would starve to death.
That's what aunt Louise says.
Don't cry, Rulle.
I didn't mean it like that. I only want to help you.
You know how angry aunt Louise gets if we don't behave.
Look. You can give these to aunt Louise for Christmas.
We'll pretend that you made them.
I've made something else, you see.
What a mess!
You're not dressed. Do you know what time it is?
Get dressed at once and come down to the dining room.
Do you understand?
- Yes, aunt Louise. - And clean up this mess.
I'm about to give up.
No, Ole. It doesn't work. We have to do something with the child.
She doesn't listen to me.
I can't stand it any longer. The child has to understand.
Isn't there an orphanage or a boarding school?
I can't be responsible anymore.
Look, we don't eat. I give up.
- Louise... - Eat your food or straight to bed.
Don't be sad, Kamilla. Aunt Louise is doing her best.
I know, but do I have to go to a boarding school?
No, you're too small. I'll think of something.
- I've got a plan. - Me too.
- I'm buying a present for Louise. - Can you afford that?
I've been saving.
- Don't you have anything better? - This is basically it.
- No thanks. - Don't you want a tree?
Was that my fault?
I need some money. Just some coins.
I'm only asking for a little bit.
Have mercy on your father.
I've told you that we need the money for something else. Go home.
- I understand. - Yes?
- I want that tree. - That one?
You think that aunt Louise wants a big tree?
- How much is that? - That'll be 2 kroner.
- Thank you. Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
What on earth is that?
We haven't ordered a tree.
Put it outside. And Ole, make sure you burn it tomorrow.
Get in. Hurry!
Kamilla!
My dear niece.
I'm writing to you in secrecy this time.
Our home was probably never the right place for your little sister.
You know Louise. She has never been good with children.
Now Louise is planning to send her away.
Far away to a boarding school for young girls in Denmark.
I know you don't have much room and can't provide for two people.
But in order to help all of us in a difficult situation, -
- I want you to find a little house for yourself and Kamilla.
It would be best for Kamilla to start school in the countryside.
With you.
Good morning.
- Nice weather today. - Yes, I know.
No, we won't get Christmas pudding tonight.
Good morning, Sebastian. It's my birthday today.
Happy birthday. How old are you?
- 10 years. - Are you that old?
Look out, you big jerk!
- Who is that man? - One of your workers.
To the factory. Quickly.
You're still here, Mr Kåk?
The working hours are over.
I had to finish this one. There. Look.
You're fired, mr Kåk!
Fired?
Since you're still here, come with me to the office.
The dismissal papers are ready.
Hey, where's the rent? I asked you a question.
Where's the rent?
- Dear Mrs Hansen ... - Do you think I'm blind and deaf?
Don't you think I see what you spend my rent on?
I have eight small children to provide for. You ought to be ashamed.
Eight small children to take care of. I can't wait forever.
Sebastian, my son, will take care of it. He has a job.
- He's even getting paid today. - This is Thursday.
There you have it. You'll get every coin I owe you, Mrs Hansen.
Today.
Last warning. I must have the money tomorrow.
Pretty clever...
What do you want?
The master asked me to finish packing for you tonight.
Am I leaving?
Don't you know? You're going to a boarding school in Aarhus.
Kamilla!
Hush.
- What about aunt Louise? - Leave her to me.
Where am I going?
- To Sofie. - Sofie!
I've saved it for you.
Your mother gave it to me. Right before she died.
There... Get going before aunt Louise wakes up.
Ole, what are you up to?
There, there... Everything will be fine.
You better wait here. I think the station master -
- has found you a nice train.
Be a nice girl and wait for them.
That's my bag!
Come on!
Get him! Come on!
- There! Take him! - Come on!
No, no!
Let go! I don't want to!
No! Let go of me!
Are these your things?
Your stockings? Your bag?
Is he yours as well?
- Where is your mommy? - I don't have a mommy.
- I don't either. - Mommy is in heaven.
So is mine.
- I'm taking the train to Engstad. - To Engstad?
But that isn't leaving until four o'clock.
That's much to long for a little girl like you.
I'm going to America. A far away country.
- By train to America? - First by train, then by boat.
But I have to go now.
You're welcome to come look at my train.
I'll get you for that.
Get lost!
Run in there.
Did you miss your train?
I'm a bit hungry.
Is he hungry as well?
I have a loose tooth.
Yes, it is loose.
Buy that Christmas pudding. Here you go.
Sebastian! Why aren't you at the factory today?
- My Christmas pudding! - Did you want it?
Daddy was buying it for me. He's getting paid today.
Here, Oliver. Don't you want it?
Say that you got it from a rich lady.
- I'm not rich. - But I am.
I'm loaded.
Now I'm taking you to a place where you've never been.
- Where is that? - A restaurant.
But we can't go in these clothes. We have to go home and change.
I have an idea. Come on.
- Aren't we going that way? - No. We'll go another way.
- Nice table. - Something to drink?
Please.
What do you want to drink?
- Milk. - Yes, milk...
Sweet or sour? Cold or hot?
- I'd rather have juice. - Strawberry or raspberry?
- Apple juice or orange juice? - Yes.
One raspberry juice, one strawberry juice, one orange juice, -
- one apple juice, and a big glass of cold milk?
Thank you.
Why, I've never...!
Give me the police. Quickly.
Enjoy.
Eat. It's salmon!
Do I have to eat everything?
You're not full already?
Do you want to taste? It's really good.
No.
Did you like it?
- What is it? - Some russian stuff.
What is it?
I got a really bad tummy ache.
- Finish up. We have to go. - Aren't you going to pay?
Do we do that here?
Pssst!
- Let's go. - What about all the food?
Come on.
Excuse me. An important message from the office.
What? A burglary at my place?
I beg your pardon, Miss Hose. I'll be right back.
- Look, Sebastian. A real car! - It's only a Buick.
Can't we look at the car?
- You've never been to a restaurant. - Not that one. Hurry up.
- Are you really rich? - We have to make the train!
Why were you afraid of that man? Look!
- Mommy had one of those. - Do you like the book?
- Kamilla. Kamilla? - What is that?
There you go. It's for you.
- Thank you! - Now, now...
Hurry up!
Hurry!
- When is the next train? - Not until tonight.
- I'm sorry. - What is it now?
I didn't mean to hold you back.
I didn't mean it like that. It's just that...
We stayed too long at the restaurant. You'll get there.
Even if we have to walk the whole way.
Who's your new friend, Kamilla?
is it someone you can trust?
is it someone who can hold your hand?
when the road ahead seems hopelessly long
night is coming soon, Kamilla
the sky will get dark and full of stars
and you need someone to hold your hand
you still have a long way to go
Kamilla, Kamilla
what are you thinking now?
do you dare to think that he's a friend that you can trust?
Kamilla, Kamilla
what are you thinking now?
do you dare to think that he's a friend
that you can trust?
Do you want a potato?
You didn't see my little sister on the train?
Not as far as I know.
- Don't you want a ride? - No thanks. I have to get back.
Alright.
Do you know that a little spark can start a big fire?
My father blew up mountains and rocks with these little sparks.
But one day a big rock landed on him, and he became a cripple.
I had to take care of myself. And my mom...
She died in prison right after.
She wanted to steal some bread for me and my sister.
Still the police locked her up in a nasty, cold, mouldy basement.
She was cold. She became sick.
That's what I'm most afraid of in the whole world.
But we go to heaven.
- We do? - Mommy and daddy are there.
They're probably eating with your mommy.
Afterwards they run around barefoot in soft grass.
And they sleep in hammocks with nice lions and bunnies.
- Lions don't bite in heaven. - There are no cold prisons there.
No, because nobody has to steal.
I think the shop could have given your mother some bread.
I hope I don't end up in a dark, lonely hole like that.
- Did you steal something? - Shush.
Shush.
Wait here.
What's a young lady doing all alone in the woods at this time of night?
And what's the young lady doing in my berry spot?
What a nice watch. Real gold.
I see we have company? No, don't get up.
There should be plenty of food for everyone.
Are you taking a walk -
- in the woods?
I sell merchandise to the farms.
What kind of merchandise?
This and that. Different things.
And I play for people.
- Good! Could you play for us? - Yes.
Kamilla, that sack is full of stolen silverware.
The sheriff is probably looking for him. Kamilla...
Kamilla, that sack is full of stolen silverware.
We have to get away.
Nice. As a thank you I'll give you this one.
Well played, but we've had enough of the forest.
- So we better get... - No.
You don't fool Joakim Jensen.
You're going straight to the sheriff to report me.
- Why would we go to the sheriff? - To claim the reward.
There is a big reward for whoever catches Joakim Jensen.
Just stay there.
We can eat now.
Sebastian?
- What is it? - The money!
He stole all the money last night.
My gold watch!
Maybe you ought to send a telegram to your uncle.
Do you think uncle Ole could have changed his mind?
Kamilla, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la-la
Kamilla, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la
Kamilla Pytten is my name and I'm really very happy
I'm getting a home of my own when we get there
Kamilla, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la-la
Kamilla, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la
Sebastian, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sebastian, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la
Sebastian is my name and even though my life is hard
and the road is long and heavy I'll sing a little song
Sebastian, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sebastian, that's me tra-la-la-la-la-la
we have no more money we're not rich anymore
what's waiting behind the next turn nobody knows
but we take comfort in our song listen to the nice sound
we're walking and singing together as friends the two of us
two friends we are tra-la-la-la-la-la-la
two friends we are tra-la-la-la-la-la
Sofie!
- Sofie! - Kamilla.
Kamilla! What happened?
- Where have you been? - Sebastian followed me all the way.
- Sebastian? - A rich man who helps children.
There was a thief in the woods. He stole all his money.
And the nice medal that mommy gave me.
You're here at least.
Sebastian has to stay with us until he gets his money back.
Sebastian!
Aunt Louise said that you couldn't afford to buy your own house.
If you made more money, Sebastian could stay with us.
- Are you going to prison? - Why do you ask?
If you let Sebastian steal I won't tell anyone.
Silly girl. Why should I steal?
- To buy this nice house? - Do you think it's that nice?
Time to come out.
There. Hurry up so you don't get cold.
There.
Are you going to prison?
Can you keep a secret?
- Uncle Ole gave me the money. - Uncle Ole?
I feel sorry for him if aunt Louise finds out.
She'll run him up to the top of the flagpole.
You're kidding. Aunt Louise doesn't have a flagpole.
But she'll serve him stewed rubble for dinner.
There. I'm sure about that.
- Did you find your bed already? - Is this my bed?
Come, I'll show you something.
There.
Look. That's the picture that mommy gave you.
Did you find it?
Kamilla.
Kamilla. Promise that you'll never leave with strangers again.
Promise.
The next time it could be someone who wants to trick you.
Do you understand?
- Rolly can't stay there. - Rolly?
You're so dirty. Go wash up.
Smells good. Can I try?
If you're going to try there won't be much left for the wedding.
Are you starting at our school?
There's a mean boy in our class.
But don't worry about him.
Do you want to look at our sheep?
Get out.
Here, Kamilla.
There.
- What about the potatoes? - I'll do them later.
- Come, Kamilla! - Come on.
- There. - Come on.
Do you want some?
It is nice to sit down and take a little rest.
- The children are busy down there. - Nice.
We have rabbits as well. Do you want to see them?
- What on earth... - What a racket!
- Berta, hurry up! - Christoffer!
- Christoffer, what is that thing? - What is it?
- Stop! You're scaring the animals! - What is that?
- Isn't it one of those...? - Christoffer!
- It could be dangerous. Careful! - Christoffer!
Christoffer!
Do you think I want to run after you?
I do.
- What is that? - What's he doing here?
- The horse! - Stop the thief!
Help!
- Look at that man! - Stop. He's taking the horse!
Get the animals moving.
I think he stole a ham.
Come on.
- Look! That's our horse. - I'll kill him!
Look out!
There!
Come on.
Look!
Not bad.
It was probably the thief that we met in the woods.
Do you think that Sebastian is alone now?
He'll be ok.
Dear God. You have to help the nice Sebastian Kåk.
Good night, Kamilla.
Her name is Kamilla Pytten. She's starting with us.
She has come from town and is staying with her sister.
Maybe some of you already have gotten to know her?
Stand up, Peder.
I know where she lives.
Next to the haunted house.
You mean next to the Simen cottage.
We have to get started. There's a seat next to Maren.
We'll stand and sing our morning song.
praise the Lord he is near
when we're singing when we're praying
we are gathered in his name
he dwells in our midst...
Is it true that the Simen cottage is haunted?
People say that Simen, who used to own it, -
- comes at night to look for his money.
Nobody wants to come here at night. That's why nobody wanted this house.
Isn't it strange?
I've lived here for several months, and I still haven't seen a ghost.
We're busy at the farm now. Otherwise you could have come with me.
I don't like you being alone.
There. Can you carry all this?
- Yes. - Can you?
Good. Go straight home and lock the door. You'll be safe.
- Good morning. - But hurry up.
- I see you're keeping busy? - A lot to do for the wedding.
That's where she lives.
I bet they have silverware there.
You don't touch that house. I want that gold watch now.
Sit down. Calm down.
I have a proposition. You get the gold watch.
- I get the suit. - The suit is worth more than that.
Alright. But we share the money. They're not yours.
- Did you forget? - I was the one who nicked them.
Yes... I nicked them as well. From a rich man in the woods.
- We'll share. - Fifty-fifty.
- First the suit.
- Right? - Right.
Then we're even.
The gold watch.
You have a lot to learn, kid.
See you later.
Sebastian!
- We'll jump with joy. - Look what I brought you.
Why do you have the thief's clothes?
I had to swap clothes to get the watch.
- Is the thief still in the woods? - Yes.
I saw him steal a ham at the farm.
Did you?
- What are you making? - I just finished "Seven sisters".
"Seven sisters".
- Are you going to America? - Me?
No, I still don't have enough money.
- You can stay with us. - Sofie wouldn't like that.
Do you speak American?
Yes.
Seems pretty perilous.
- What does that mean? - I need some new clothes.
Say some more.
Simsurium sari pam picnic.
That means that I need a razor.
- Are you saying that for real? - I can't wear these rags.
No, you can't. But we don't have any men's clothes.
Look at this.
Run to the store and get me some.
- Pants and a shirt as well? - And a shaving kit.
But you can't say that it's for Sebastian.
- Why not? - Nobody can know that I'm here.
It's a secret that only you and me share.
But what if they ask?
Say that you've gotten a visit from an uncle from America.
- Have I? - At least a pretend uncle.
- Bye! - Bye.
There's nothing in the paper these days.
There's something happening here, Sofie.
A criminal has escaped. Did you hear that, Sofie?
A criminal has escaped from the town prison.
There's a picture of him. Joakim Jensen.
And here's a picture of another one who is wanted.
- Sebastian Kåk. - What did you say?
Look at this. Joakim Jensen.
A dangerous criminal. Just look at his eyes.
- Have you seen anything more spooky? - It's him!
- Do you know him? - I thought I had seen him.
What?
- It smells clean. - Do you wash the clothes?
Sometimes.
It was too much money.
I got a ride with Big Peder and his granddad.
Everybody thinks that I have a guest from America.
Kamilla, I'm horribly tired.
Do you think I can borrow your bed?
- It's in there. - But...
I have big problems falling asleep.
I'll be as quiet as a mouse.
It's best if somebody sings to me while I fall asleep. Can you do that?
- Say a prayer as well? - Maybe some other time.
But don't open the door before I wake up.
I'll take a little nap.
- Hi. - You have guests from America?
- What? - That uncle of yours must be rich.
- Uncle? What uncle? - The American.
Kamilla got a ride from the store. She told me all about it.
- Was he blonde? - Don't know. I didn't see him.
- You have to be quiet. - Why?
- Guess. - Is he here?
In there.
- Quiet. Don't wake him up. - Is he sleeping?
You scared me.
- I almost thought it was true. - He was there.
- He even borrowed my bed. - Nobody has been sleeping in it.
Look. Here are his clothes.
You know what? He had to swap with the thief to get the watch.
- Look. - Kamilla.
- Sebastian is a thief. - You're lying!
He's wanted by the police. Listen to me!
Don't you understand? He's dangerous. You saw all his money.
- You're lying! - He stole them from a factory.
- It's true. - Sebastian has never stolen.
The police can't take Sebastian!
- Was he horrible? - How did you chase him away?
- Did he steal anything? - Mommy said he was big and scary.
- Did he have fangs? - What did you tell him?
You must have said something. Otherwise he would have hit you.
Thieves are cruel.
You're the bravest person at this school.
Kamilla is lying. I bet she hid under the bed.
- Kamilla talked to the thief. - She's lying.
If it was me I wouldn't have talked to him.
- I would just have kicked him out. - You wouldn't dare.
I've talked to the king himself.
The king is nothing compared to a real thief.
I'm much more brave. I'll throw a sandwich at the teacher.
Kamilla dares to eat with criminals.
But I dare to jump from the roof of the pigsty.
Kamilla dares to balance on the schoolhouse roof.
I sing the anthem outside the sheriff's window when he takes a nap.
Kamilla dares to sit alone in the Simen cottage at midnight.
She doesn't dare. I bet 30 copper coins.
And I bet 35 coppers that she dares.
You dare, Kamilla. Right?
I bet 5 coppers that she doesn't dare.
- Me too. - One krone that she dares.
She dares to! I bet 3 coppers.
- I bet 10 coppers that she dares. - I bet 30 coppers that she dares.
- I bet 3 coppers that she dares. - I bet 7.
I bet she doesn't dare. 1 krone.
She's in for a big surprise.
Touch the ring if you like touch the ring
touch your boyfriend if you like
- Aren't you going to eat? - What time is it?
I don't know. Almost 11 I think.
- Don't we have to go now? - Yes. Where are the others?
- It's 11 o'clock. - I know.
Big Peder isn't here. Only his mother and grandfather.
- Is he backing out? - Coward.
Tell everyone that we're leaving.
No, you go. It doesn't matter what you say. You go first.
Are you going to open a restaurant?
She's sleepwalking.
Shush.
- Did she leave already? - Shush.
I'm so small. You're much bigger.
Can't you scare the ghosts?
- Ghosts! - Shame on you for scaring us!
- It's something else! - We've seen a ghost.
Stop that nonsense. You're not allowed to cheat.
- She's in there. - There's a real ghost in there.
Be quiet.
It's me.
Kamilla. What are you doing?
- A bet. - Are there more people coming?
- No. - Did you make some kind of trap?
- Something else? - No.
- You swear? - We swear.
The thief! Does he live here?
Promise not to come here again. It's dangerous.
- I have to stay until midnight. - What?
- Why? - The bet.
If Joakim comes
you have to be quiet.
Is it true that you're a thief?
You're the one who's been stealing from the farm.
- Yes. - We could have given you food.
It's not that simple.
Be quiet. Not one word.
Turn off the lamp. There's a whole bunch of kids outside.
- You can't go out there. - We have to keep watch.
Go to the window.
Who are you hiding in there?
- You can't go in there. - Who is it? Answer me.
- No! Kamilla is in there. - Kamilla?
And who opened the door for Kamilla? Answer me.
- She got in on her own. - Idiot!
Are you trying to get us arrested?
I know what to do.
Get going.
- Come. You have to get out of here. - You're bleeding.
It's nothing.
Is it bad if you loose that bet?
I'll tell you a story. Have you heard about Groggen?
Why did you become a thief?
Not all thieves want to become thieves.
Not Joakim either.
But why do you steal?
Have you heard about Groggen?
He lived by the mines where my father worked.
Do you know where he lived? On a hill of sand.
- What hill? - One of those by the mines.
- On the floor? - Yes. He lived at the bottom.
One day he decided to go to America.
It's past midnight. We have to rescue her.
He saw two tiny spots. America.
But before they got there he looked into the water.
Are you all scaredy cats? Big Peder is afraid of ghosts.
I'll go in alone.
- Mommy! - But it's...
Kamilla! She's dead.
Help, he's coming!
- Help! - Help!
Kamilla?
Isn't she dead?
- Is she alive again? - What was that?
- Was he horrible? - Yes.
I'm hungry.
- Was he huge? - Black and horrible.
Like that cat at the Salbakken.
And he had red eyes.
- Weren't you afraid? - At first I was afraid.
And then I became more afraid. And then I fell asleep.
Tell us more, Kamilla.
That's all.
Where on earth have you been?
- With Kamilla. - At this time?
Kamilla! Kamilla!
Kamilla, hi! Kamilla!
Can you help me?
Hide this for a little while.
- You've been stealing at the farm. - No, I haven't. Quickly.
- Hi. - He isn't here.
Don't be afraid. Stand by the door.
He got away again. Come on. We're going to the woods.
Good morning.
I'm cleaning up my mess.
I've decided to move.
- To America? - No.
Not exactly that far.
You don't have to move. Look at this.
Thanks for forgetting this one.
Last night...
I...
I became a completely different Sebastian Kåk.
A different Sebastian Kåk?
I don't want to steal anymore.
Nice breeze today.
Do you want to make a kite?
- Are you going to stop stealing? - Yes.
And if you have something good in your basket -
- I'll make you a kite with a tail and a veil.
Finish your bread.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
It's just luck that we have ham. There's been so many thefts.
- lndeed? - Burglaries...
- Again? - While we celebrated the wedding -
- all the silverware disappeared from Elvebakken.
They must have a hideout around here.
- Didn't the cook talk about ghosts? - She's always talking about ghosts.
- She's right behind you. - The Simen cottage is haunted.
Everybody says so. Could you please pass the cheese?
There are ghosts there for real. I've seen...
What have you seen?
Excuse us, but we need help.
We just saw the thieves outside the old smithy.
- We can get them now. - Let's get them.
- I need more people. - We're coming.
Now? In the middle of the wedding breakfast?
Calm down, mother.
Can you hold this?
Can you hold it? When I count to three, you let go.
One, two, three!
- We found him! - Let's get him!
Come on!
I have to get my shotgun.
Here!
Come on! They're leaving!
Kamilla, do you want to try?
Look! Sebastian, look!
Come.
Kamilla, I think we'll try.
Run, Sebastian!
Let's try the kite.
- Run, Sebastian! - Kamilla.
If the sheriff doesn't get me now, I'll stay a thief forever.
You'll die.
Kamilla.
I'll get out again. Then I'll be free.
- Will you come here? - If you and Sofie let me.
Let me go, so the sheriff can get me.
Look. It's yours.
Sebastian!
- Let the sheriff get him. - It's the thief.
Sebastian Kåk?
- Take it easy. - Sebastian. Sebastian!
Kamilla!
Sebastian Kåk, you're under arrest.
Kamilla!
- Get it up! - Higher!
- Higher. - Look, Kamilla.
There's a message for you on the kite.
Can you see what it says?
Cry no more for me, Kamilla
I'll be back soon
my life as a thief is over
I have to take the punishment I deserve
and when I come back I'll be free
we'll be waiting, Sebastian
someday you'll be free
it'll be a day with new possibilities
Kamilla, Kamilla I'll come back to you
and I think that you'll receive me
as a friend
who's your new friend, Kamilla?
is it someone you can trust?
is it someone who can hold your hand
when the road seems long and hard
soon night will fall, Kamilla
