Smell this.
I don't smell a thing.
THE FORSELL SISTERS' GARDEN
- What do you think? - I'm sure that'll be nice.
I like to say that my hobby is my living.
Because to me it's kind of a lifestyle, picking berries.
All kinds of berries; gooseberries, raspberries, cherries.
But cherries grow on trees.
- So, do you like it here? - I haven't had time to consider it.
- We've been so busy. - Nice cucumbers.
- Did she make them herself? - No, we made them together.
- What do you do for a living? - I...
Hello. Hi there.
I wouldn't call myself an artist, but I've had a few exhibitions.
- Of what? - Small wooden sculptures.
- Sounds exciting. - It's nothing special.
In Småland last summer I saw an exhibition of Döderhultarn's work.
- He's well-known for his wood art. - Döderhultarn?
We're happy you're taking over the foundation now.
Have you visited the neighbors?
- We haven't had time. - You're missing out.
- They have a fantastic garden. - And I love flowers.
The sisters running it are real geeks.
Axel! That's being a bit harsh.
I can recommend one of their guided tours.
We'll have to go one day soon, Nils.
They're one of our biggest beneficiaries, so you should.
A toast to our hostess. And to the foundation and its new manager.
What a great evening.
I'm sorry about Döderhultarn, but that was just too funny.
They were nice. Especially that guy Henning.
I'm glad they left early.
Dammit!
Why did you do that?
It was in the way.
- You didn't need to throw it out. - Well, you hung it in a stupid place.
- You could have just laid it down. - I didn't mean it.
Come on, now.
I'm sorry. That was dumb of me.
- Did you find it? - No.
It was too dark.
We are currently in what is known as The Parade of Bushes.
My dear departed mother planted one Taxu Baccata-
- for each trip around the world that my father took.
He managed to collect many exotic plants on his trips.
And here we are in the heart of the park.
The pride of the Forsell Gardens: the Rosearium.
What was that grave we passed?
Our mother lies there. She killed herself.
She ate an Angel's Trumpet, like the one you're holding.
What an insane thing to do!
Over here, we have various kinds of poppy.
We end our viewing by taking a good look at Captain Birger Forsell.
His pants are really weird.
How many visitors do you think you average per summer month?
No idea.
You can look around on your own, if you like.
Hello. I'm Karin. I just moved in next door.
- Isabel. - Lily.
This is my husband's daughter Barbro.
- Welcome. - Hey, that's your bird.
- It's very nice. - I've actually made it myself.
- Wow. - You can keep it.
- Thank you! - It fits in here.
That's very kind of you.
- What are you doing? - Great! A hit on the first shot.
Been hunting him for weeks. Shoot some more.
- But be careful! - It's only a saloon rifle.
- Can I offer you anything? - Squirrels eat the thrush eggs.
- Cherry wine? - No. I don't want to impose.
- I'm sure you're very busy. - Maybe it's a little too early.
- No, it would be nice. - Alright, then.
- Do you want a glass as well? - I'm fine, thanks.
Come on.
That was easy to drink.
Double-petalled hybrids. Quite rare, actually.
- Do you want one? - I would love one.
It's not the season to move peonies. You do that in the fall.
It'll be fine, if you plant it right away.
I'd better plant it right away, then.
- Thanks for the nice wine. - You can have more.
No, that's fine. Bye.
Are you giving away one of Mom's oldest peonies?
- It doesn't matter. - Doesn't matter? Easy for you to say.
I've struggled to get it to thrive with ants everywhere.
Important decisions like that should be made together.
I'll remember that next time we get a neighbor who likes flowers.
Hello.
It's so cute. Can I hold it?
You can keep it.
- I don't think I can have it at home. - Come.
Come on.
- Why do you live here? - My sister Lily...
She doesn't like us sharing the WC.
- What's that? - Mushrooms.
It just makes your head feel all nice.
You sure have a lot of books.
"They were far from beautiful. Covered in dirt and stubble."
"Eyes empty and expressionless."
"Was it really only the fourth day of the war?"
- This is great! - Franz!
- Hey there. - Hello.
That looks really nice!
- You smell like wine. - I do?
- Yes. Where have you been? - The neighbors had cherry wine.
- I see. - And their garden was amazing.
They should get a new guide. He was embarrassing.
They could at least get him a new jacket.
- He lives in a tree house. - In a tree? Like a monkey.
Their roses are so nice. I love yellow ones with pink centers.
Your swatches arrived. I put them in the living room.
- Great. - You've bought a lot of them.
And their peonies... They gave me a big one to take home.
- Don't they smell weird? - No... I don't think so.
They are Claire de Lunes from Brittany.
This wasn't easy.
Son of a bitch!
A toast to seven years, honey. Where has the time gone?
I believe in us, honey.
Excuse me, I have to take this.
Nils here. Hello.
Yes, I will. Not a problem. I'll do it tomorrow.
I want to get a new Canadian Cork Oak.
They've started to rot at the top.
- You've got something there. - Where? Here?
- Is it gone? - You're getting a mustache.
Mother had one too.
Thank you.
- Aren't you going to try them on? - Now?
A little later. The wine made me so tired.
- Didn't you like them? - They're really nice.
- They just seem kind of small. - No, they all looked like that.
Would you have preferred something else?
You don't exactly seem ecstatic about it.
It feels like it's actually more of a present for you.
For me? Alright, then...
Congratulations, Nils.
What do you think?
Go ahead and laugh. They cost over 1,000 crowns.
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Stop. I told you to stop it!
- Boy, was it fragile. - Let's throw it in the pond.
Calm down. Come on and sit here.
Throw it away. I don't want to see it any more.
What's happened?
Lily isn't feeling too good. Could you help me?
Of course.
Satisfied?
Is there anything I can do for you?
Oh my. Your pupils are really huge.
I think I'll go get some rest.
Do you need help?
Excuse my sister. She's not usually like that.
- She doesn't seem to be well. - She's probably just overworked.
Do you want to jump in?
I don't know... My husband is waiting for me.
Come on. You'll love it.
That's so damned nice!
Come on!
You look like Venus. All you need is the half-shell.
- Venus? That's a bit much. - Almost, though.
You have wonderful curves. You should pose for something.
- No one's said that before. - I went to art school once.
You did?
Then you might be able to help us make a new one.
- If you promise to pose for me. - If you can turn me into Venus.
It was probably just the Little Prince.
I'm sure my husband is wondering where I am. It's our anniversary.
Well, congratulations.
Bye. See you.
Are you asleep?
I'm sorry.
You're very warm.
It's almost like you have a fever.
Quiet! I can't hear the shell!
It seems like the leaves have been attacked by something.
Some kind of dried white mucus.
- White? - White mucus.
- What is it? - Must be some kind of mildew.
Mildew? We'll have to drop everything else before it spreads.
Come on.
I'm going to the neighbors for a bit.
- Do you need help? - Yes, please.
We have mildew. The entire park needs to be cleaned up.
- What do you use for that? - DDT. It's the only thing that works.
"He ran through an underground tunnel, while shrapnel flew."
"He heard the thump of German boots approaching."
Do we have mice in here? Get it out of here - it's disgusting.
- Where's Karin? - Visiting Isabel.
Isabel? Is that the fat one?
- What are those sisters really like? - They're awesome.
There's more of them in the oak over there!
Go get them!
- Hi. - Hi.
I guess that's the end of the tour. You're all welcome to roam freely.
I would like to borrow some more books.
Hey there.
Careful! You've got dirt on your feet.
What a day I've had. I'm exhausted.
What have you been doing? You were going to fix up in here.
- She's so much fun. - What's so fun about her?
I don't know.
I guess it's like being in love - you can't always explain it.
I haven't laughed that much in ages.
Well, good for you.
Her sister doesn't look like a barrel of laughs.
Maybe we can clean up together? I'll try to get the day off tomorrow.
Too bad. I promised Isabel to help clean up more mildew tomorrow.
Mildew?
- So, I guess we can't do that. - Really?
Anything else before we adjourn?
Right. At the end of the month, we're paying the Forsell sisters.
And what are the conditions for that?
They get 800,000 a year, as long as they fulfill their assignment.
There's never a problem. We go check them every now and again.
If you're lucky, you get to taste their cherry wine.
One time, I got a jar of jam. I think it was gooseberry.
- Any objections? - No.
- Those sisters are quite odd. - How do you figure?
- I hear she's attracted to women. - I heard someone moaning there.
Wishful thinking. They were probably just moving a bush.
I wouldn't mind the younger sister's bush. She looks nice enough.
Too bad that she doesn't go for guys, then.
- Can I drop my arm a bit? - Not yet.
- How long do I have to stand here? - About half an hour.
I'm going to build it up. This is just a base for something bigger.
Karin!
What do you want? This is the children's tour.
- I'm looking for my wife. - I don't know where she is.
Karin.
- Hey! - Karin!
I think you'd better go home and get some rest.
- So you can have your sick orgies? - There are children here.
You and your horny sister... Where the hell are they?
I'll help you. Come over here.
Let me show you. I can help you.
In here. Look here.
There. Oh, my God.
What kind of flowers are you putting around it?
Maybe orange-lilies. I like them.
Which goes well with some dark blue Italian alkanets. What do you think?
- Me? - Yes.
I don't know.
What's the matter? Isn't it turning out?
Oh, absolutely. It'll be really nice.
But you look sad.
I'm just so tired of Nils. I don't know what the matter is.
I'm so tired of Lily that I could strangle her.
I thought it'd get better once we'd moved.
You know. You start over and think something will happen.
Well, what are you going to do with your life?
Before you know it, you're in your grave. That's the end of that.
- Will you be buried in that chapel? - No!
No, but Lily seems to want to.
I like you.
You look nice with your hair up. You should wear it like that.
Let me out! Let me out!
- What are you doing here? - None of your business.
- What time is it? - About quarter to three.
Help me. I'm in bad shape.
- Karin's husband was here today. - I see.
What did he want?
He was screaming and shouting, asking where she was.
- Really? - He seems to think she likes you.
Why does he think that?
He was looking for you by the raspberry bushes.
Is he nuts, or what?
I guess he has fantasies. Like all men.
I dislike him intensely.
Too bad that he's in charge of the money.
The money?
He's the new head of the foundation.
Idiot!
- Is this a bad time? - No.
I just wanted to apologize for what happened today.
I just think we should forget all of it.
I put knight's spur in the bouquet. I thought it would suit a man.
Thank you.
- I hope you like it here. - Pardon?
- I hope you like it here. - Yes. Never better.
What are you doing sitting in the dark?
- I'm exhausted. - No wonder, with all that gardening.
Could you help us move a Japanese silver maple?
It's getting too much sun and will die otherwise.
You know what? I don't give a damn.
- Why are you so angry? - Isabel is attracted to women.
Just because a woman is single doesn't mean she's a lesbian.
That's what my colleagues say. And her sister seems disturbed.
Stop it. They're both nice people.
Come lay down.
Okay, then.
You go ahead and be pissy.
- Where are you going? - I have a business trip.
- I see. Where to? - To visit another foundation.
Shouldn't I just take this one?
Think of the time we'll save if I can get this to work.
- Hi there. - Hello!
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.
Alright, are you ready?
Wow! Is that me?
Is that me? It's fantastic.
She's completely nuts. What the hell is she up to?
- It looks terribly like mother. - Maybe a little.
Go away.
What's the matter with the Little Prince?
- Hey there. - Hello.
- Is this a bad time? - Not at all. Did something happen?
No. Lily has gone to bed and locked the door.
I don't want to wake her, because she's showing the garden tomorrow.
You can sleep here if you like. Barbro is also asleep. Come on in.
We can keep partying for a bit.
So, this is where we live.
- Pardon the mess. - I'm used to it.
Look around while I go get a bottle of champagne.
Hi there!
You can borrow Nils' pajamas. My nightgowns might be too small.
Hey, these are really comfortable.
- Can I have one? - Why would you?
- We're partying. - It's not good for you.
Cut it out. I mean, you gave Barbro a cigarette before.
- Do you have a light? - No.
- Smoking just doesn't suit you. - Why not?
You're just not the type.
- So, what's my type? - You're... Well...
Spit it out.
It's like... You just make people want to take care of you.
Why not just come out and say it? You don't think I can do anything.
That's probably right. I haven't ever done anything useful.
- Of course you have! - It's obvious I don't any talents.
Karin! You're the most wonderful person to ever walk this Earth!
You don't tell anyone, right? If you do, I'll kill you, you retard.
- I promise. - Do you understand?
I don't understand anything, I think.
What do you mean "you think"? You moron.
- Are you back already? - I know all about you and Isabel.
What do you mean? What did you do?
I know what Isabel and you are doing.
- What do you mean? We're friends. - I don't fuck my friends.
Why would I have done that?
Now I understand why we're not having sex.
- That may be due to other things. - Really? Such as? Such as?!
That we no longer have anything in common.
Should I quit work to pick flowers with you? Stop seeing her!
- You can't make me. - Stop it, or get out of here.
- I won't stop seeing her. - Then you can go!
I'll be glad to. To get away from you and your sick fantasies.
Goddamned muff diver!
- What's the matter? - I've left Nils.
I wonder if you know how much you mean to me.
The light falls beautifully on you.
It does? You're starting to sound like me.
It's such a comfort to be able to come here.
Karin...
Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you.
You can open your eyes now.
That's so nice. Is it for me?
I really like you.
I don't really know how to tell you this...
I think you've misunderstood everything.
I don't know what you mean.
What do you mean by "misunderstood"?
Karin, we're both feeling the same thing. Right?
It didn't seem like you had no interest in my body.
- I'm sorry, Isabel... - Sorry?
I think it's best you leave.
I don't think we should see each other again.
You can just leave.
You can go.
There's no more toilet paper!
Can't you hear me?
There's no more toilet paper!
- Mom's ring was in the toilet. - Really?
- Why is that? - I must have dropped it.
You can't be walking around with it. It's precious.
- I was thinking of selling it. - Mother's engagement ring?
You're insane!
Grave robber!
How does the saying go? There's no place like home?
Let me go.
Welcome.
I thought we'd start in the Rosearium.
- Our nicest feature. Welcome. - Thank you.
- Are the mandarin flowers holding? - They've blossomed out.
But the ones in bloom are magnificent.
What's happened?
It has to be that freak that's running around here.
It looks like someone's used too much insecticide.
Or too much fertilizer. The flowers have been smothered.
Not a very beautiful sight.
- It might have been a flock of deer. - We've seen some at our place.
They've even gone after our mailbox.
I don't think I can continue this.
Maybe we can come back tomorrow, if that feels better?
Excuse me.
- Bye. See you. - Bye. See you.
This'll all work out, you'll see.
Mother, help me.
How could you be that bad wrong?
- I'm sorry. - You have a measuring cup!
Get out of here. I don't want to see you.
Get out of here! I don't want to see you!
Get out of here!
Foreskin. Glans. Corpus Cavernosum.
Foreskin. Glans. Corpus Cavernosum...
Foreskin. Glans. Corpus Cavernosum.
- What's that? - You scared me.
Why are you looking at a penis?
I'm studying anatomy.
Thought it might be useful if we ever want to breed livestock.
Livestock?
How are you feeling?
Do you want a sleeping pill? I was taking one.
No, that's fine. I need to be sharp tomorrow.
I just hope they understand the situation.
- Don't worry. It'll work out. - How? Through a miracle?
Maybe so.
We can begin in the greenhouse.
I can see why the plants like this place.
What a lovely vanda plant.
They're not easy to cultivate. How do you get it to grow so well?
By hanging it from the ceiling. Touch this.
It feels nice.
Yes. It's very soft.
Do you believe the erection is maximized?
Good. Then we can instigate actual intercourse.
Meaning the penetration.
- What a wonderful color. - Where?
On the head. Purple.
Thank you.
You're the loveliest of flowers. Did you know that?
- Should we do it again? - Why? Didn't you get off?
I just need to recover for a bit.
Then I can spend as much time on you as you want.
Are you dead?
Get out of here! I want to be alone!
Can't you hear me? I want you to get out of here!
I hope you're not going to run out.
Pardon?
On the bill.
I don't think I know what you mean.
I'm sure you do, if you think about it.
What are you doing? Stop it.
I'm sorry. It's a mental thing.
You have to try to rest.
- I have longed for this. - Careful.
I don't know, but I thought that maybe we could give it a try.
Are you quite certain?
One hundred... two hundred...
Yes.
- What are you wearing? - Don't you like it?
A string up the bottom? That's got to hurt, poor girl.
- What's the matter? - I'm just not used to this.
Come sit down here.
- Do you want to or don't you? - Stop nagging, I'm an adult.
- You don't seem relaxed. - It's not easy with your talking.
I got stuck.
I'm stuck.
Alright, then. You're not warming up and stiff as a board.
- Maybe you're being too forward. - Me?
Remember that I haven't been with a woman before.
How do you know I have?
You'll have to excuse me, but I've had a sleeping pill. I'm beat.
You needn't worry. I've sacrificed myself.
Sacrificed yourself?
Please sit down.
Maybe you want something to drink?
- Some coffee would be nice. - Not for me. It upsets my tummy.
We thought we'd let Henning Widell read our conclusion.
If we start with the Rosearium.
Rosa Kinensis, Rosa Gallica, Rosa Sancta...
Most of the roses were brown and wilted.
The same for most perennials in the side gardens.
Gallium Uliginosum, marsh bedstraw: dead.
Ranunculus Sceleratus, cursed crowfoot: dead.
Myosurus minimus, tiny mousetail: in bad shape.
Thank you. That's enough.
We are obliged to find new keepers if the garden is in bad shape.
I do not agree. Now, more than ever, it is important-
- for the gardens to get money, so the sisters can...
Unfortunately, we have to follow our statutes.
How is your sister doing?
- Make sure you clean the wound. - Human bites are very dangerous.
A denial is the only reasonable alternative.
- They must have been vandalized. - Sounds unlikely to me.
Unless it's that moron running around with deadly poisons.
You agreed it could have been deer.
Then it's up to them to put up fences.
No. Stop that. Stop.
Stop it.
- Can I drive you home? - There's no need for that.
We've got bikes.
Do you need some help?
I think the dried ones work best.
- Here. - Are you insane?
It's not a lot. It'll just make you feel nice.
Just a teeny tiny bit, then.
- Do you feel anything? - No.
Barbro!
Thank you.
You can stop doing that. We're moving.
Move? Why?
You've ruined the entire garden!
Idiot! There's no money!
- So, you're up this late? - Evidently.
- Where's Karin? - She's sleeping in the laundry room.
Do you want a glass of wine?
It's just some red wine.
It wasn't that bad, was it?
Take that silly helmet off.
What the hell? Is that damned rat in here now?
- What the hell are you doing? - Calm down.
- You damned murderer! - Don't scream.
- Here we go. - Murderer!
Get out, and stay out there until you've calmed down.
Damn you!
What are you doing outside in the middle of the night?
- Can I sleep with you? - Of course.
- What's happened? - Nothing.
Try to get some sleep, Barbro.
He's ruined everything.
What are you talking about?
Dad ruined the garden, and now they won't get any money.
How do you know this?
Franz saw it. Now they have to move.
Stay here, okay? Don't go anywhere.
- What the hell have you done? - What?
- Are you out of your mind? - How could you?
- What the hell are you talking about? - You know exactly!
What the hell are you doing?
I never want to see you again. Understood?
I'm sorry, Karin.
I couldn't take it. I hate them and their damned flowers.
I didn't want them to take you away from me.
You don't get it at all.
I like Isabel a lot, but that's not what this is about.
- Then what is it about? - Us!
It didn't get any better just because we moved. It's still the same.
Goddamned flower bitches! I'll crush your skulls!
Run! Look out! He was the one who ruined the garden!
Calm down!
- Hey there, hot stuff. - Who the hell are you?
Why are you laying about there?
Come here and let me touch you.
It's kind of difficult. I've been shot in the leg.
And you deserved it.
I'm just joking. Come on, don't be frightened.
I just have one question to ask.
Now he's going for the statue!
- Come on and get it together. - What was your question?
Do you know where the clitoris is?
Yes. It's down there somewhere.
No, that's what I thought.
- It's up here. - Really?
- Get down from there! - You're a bit special, you are.
Special? That's rich, coming from you.
Thank you. You seem to have some important information.
- Oh my. Grab there. - One, two...
Forgive me. I'm really sorry.
Hey there! So, this is where you are.
Nils! The wheelbarrow. The body... the body is hurt.
Come.
You're a good person, Henning. I wish I was more like you.
Well, come on.
