-Hi, Janne. Here's your shopping. -Oh!
We didn't have any carrots. Tell Marianne that I've given courgettes.
Oh, that's good.

[Dylan] I've got a package for you. And one for Ola.

[Dylan] Grandma!
Oh, hey. I'm in here. How are you?
-I've got your shopping for you. -Oh, that's great.
[inhales]
-Hello. -Mm. Hi, there.
Why are you glued to that screen all the time?
Don't you have actual stuff to do?
Oh, listen, I've done my fair share of stuff in life.
I'm meant to be on life's dessert course now.
Isn't that what she said, our Queen Silvia?
Perhaps she said that about her grandchildren.
-Oh, never mind. You follow. -I follow.
-Ooh, it's coffee time. -Yes, the table's all set.
Brace yourself, Dylan. I've got something for you
and I found it on the internet, you know.
It's fantastic, modern technology. You can find anything you want.
And whatever your problem, you can make it vanish with a simple click.
Hey, sweetheart. Don't worry about that.
You have to see this. Come here. I'll do it later.
Okay.
Here, look. "Open audition."
"The Company Dadelac seeks dancers for their new show, "Breakup Blues."
"The dance auditions will be at Stora Theatre,
from three till five o'clock on the afternoon of the 16th.
Let's just forget about it, Grandma. Thank you.
We shall do nothing of the sort.
Now, darling…
-[inhales, exhales sharply] -We have to move on.
It's been a year and a half.
No, it was a year and five months ago, actually.
[sighs] A month less, my mistake. What's the difference?
It makes a big difference to me.
Your mum, she would have wanted…
[inhales deeply]
[exhales] Eh?
She would have wanted…?
I'd day, to fulfil your dream.
-And leave my Dad when he's miserable? -No, no, no.
It's too much to deal with. You have too much on your plate.
You bite off more than you can chew.
I think this audition would do wonders for you.
It's exactly what you need.
I don't think it's gonna solve anything, but thank you.
Now, what did he say? You know, Neil Armstrong, when he stood on the moon?
"That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind."
I'll say that on my next trip to the moon, Grandma.
-Shall I? -[chuckles] Yes, do that.
[Dylan] Yum.
Mm. These aren't bad, eh?
[man] Sebastian!
Hey!
[Dylan] Hello.
-Oh, hello there. -Hi.
So how's the island's very own Dancing Queen?
-Uh, yeah, I'm not too bad. -Ah, great. That's good to hear.
We've got loads of ice pops left over. They're gonna go off, so…
Oh, will you stop messing about Sebastian?
Hop in the boat. We're in a rush. Come on.
The inventory's done. I'll come see you tomorrow.
No, you'll be in all day. Tomorrow you're working at the hotel.
-Are you serious? -[man] Yes.
Uh, are you going into town then?
Yup, he's going on a boys night out with his father.
Mixed Martial Arts.
[chuckles]
Want to come along, Dylan, and see some sweaty men wrestling each other.
-No, I'm all good thanks. -[man] Hey, this isn't for girls.
This is a guys' night out.
-A guys' night out… -[man] Come on! Get a move on.
-[chuckles] See you tomorrow. -Take care.
[Dylan] You too.
[boat engine rumbling]
[man 1] That one over there.
-[man 2] What's that? -[man 3] This one here?
It's all good quality stuff. Really. Yes.
-That one. -[man 2] This one?
[man 1] Yeah, it's for pots, um…
We have a local, traditional type of stockpot.
-[man 2] Yeah. I understand. -[man 1] Yeah.
-From this island? -[Dylan] Hey, Papa.
-Hi. Sorry? -They're from this island?
Yeah, yeah. Uh, Hemön.
-[man 2] Okay. -[Dylan] They're from here, so…
A really good price, so I would, uh, buy them if I were you.
-[Papa] Yes. -Okay, good. Shall we get one each?
-Yeah, sure. -How many? Three?
Take them home for our wives.
[Dylan humming]
-That'll be 375 krona. -[man 2] Okay.
-[man 3] Great presents for our wives. -[all men chuckle]
-Guys, you know what you should do? -No.
We have an island over here called Gubbön.
-[man 2] Sounds good. -[Dylan] It's only four stops on the boat.
-Thank you. -[Dylan] No, thank you.
-[Papa] Thank you. -[man 2] Okay. Let's go there.
Gubbön sounds good. Let's do it.
-[chuckles] -[Papa] Oh, come on.
-That was uncalled for. -But did you hear what they were saying?
"Oh, such a great present for my wife, so she can stand in the kitchen."
-Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. -LOL.
But they're our customers. We can't do that.
Not like they'll be coming back, is it?
No, but they'll be going round for hours trying to find bloody Gubbön.
-[Papa sighs] -Exactly.
[snickers]
-Well, you always were a joker. -[Dylan chuckles]

Hello, my little darling. [inhales]
Now, that audition I found out about…
You know, it's tomorrow.
Yeah, but tomorrow won't work, we've got deliveries and…
The boys can handle all that, all right? You know, Sebbe really wants to.
[inhales]
And also, gosh, there aren't that many customers, are there now?
Right now, I'm not on top of my dancing.
You're always on top of it. You're totally fizzing with talent.
You're unique and extraordinary.
-[sighs] -You're fabulous.
Grandma, it's so great you believe in me,
but I need to believe in myself too, and I just don't right now.
Your mum would've believed in you.
I have to say, your mum, she'd have loved this.
Yeah, but she's not around anymore, is she?
We're with you all the time.
I am, and Mum and Dad. We're always with you.
And I've got the advertisement, it's right here

Yeah, I might come round to it. I can't say for sure,

Oh, I love you, Dylan. You're such a beautiful dancer.
You know what? I've known that ever since you were in my tummy.

Dylan… I'm a fool.
-I'm sorry. -Sebbe, you were given a key for a reason.
So you could help out some days, not the middle of the night, you know?
You need a tissue, huh?
[sniffs] Sorry.
Sebbe, Dad would be so upset if he knew about this.
I know. I'm sorry. Sorry. [sighs]
You had a real lads night out.
[chuckles] Yes. My father wanted his money back.
For the fight. They knocked each other out after two minutes.
Just like that. Bang.
And then it was over. [chuckles] Of course we should get a refund.
I mean, what the hell. Just think about the money we paid for that.
-Stop it. -Dyllis…
[Dylan chuckles]
[pensive music playing]
-What are you doing? -What?
-Seriously, Sebbe… -It would be good for us.
-No. -Yes.
Sebbe, now you're… This is…
I swear, Dylan. It would be so practical.
This is… You can't. You know this is the alcohol making you do this.
It would be practical if it was you and me.
It really wouldn't. I'm like your sister.
You know, I love this store. We could run it together.
I love it more than anything on earth.
It could be our baby. Instead of a baby, we could have the store.
Instead of nappies and breast pads, we'd have olives and salad dressing,
and shelves and customers and…
-It could be so great. -No.
You're just making things up so you can feel better.
-No. -Okay.
I don't want to be what my father says, my life to be like his
and to look after the hotel. I couldn't give a damn about the hotel.
I want this store. It's all I'm after. With you.
That's all I really want. Nothing else.
Um… Hmm…
Sorry. [sighs] Sorry. That… That wasn't right, Dyl.
I mean, you're like a sister to me, right?
Oh, God. I mean… Oh… It's…
In… Incest isn't right, so I…
-No. -Sorry.
-Um… -Okay?
-It's okay, Sebbe. -Okay.
-Actually, can you help me with something? -Yeah. What is it?
Can you look after this place tomorrow?
-Seeing as you love it so much? -Okay. Yeah, right. Absolutely.
-I can do that. I'd love it. -Really?
-Hmm. -It'll be really cool.
Okay?
Where are you going then?
Uh, I'm going into town.
I've got a lot of errands.

BREAK-UP
[woman 1] So I met this man on Tinder, you know.
I was swiping and came across a really lovely man.
-Who's this guy then? -Micke Larsson he's called.
-[woman 2] Oh. -[woman 1] He seems really nice.
Looks really nice too. So he's invited me to Kiruna.
But the thing is, I need someone to pick up my shifts at the club.
-Could you cover for me? -[woman 2] When are you leaving then?
-Um, tonight. I'm going tonight. -But I'm going to visit my mum tomorrow.
-[sighs] -I'd love to help, but I promised her.
Oh, well.
-I thought I'd seen the last of her when-- -No, I understand.
-She calls all the time. -[clears throat]
[imitates Polish accent] "Danuta, you have to come to help. Danuta, you must do it."
For all that she's moved back to Bydgoszcz, she's always gonna need me.
-Always. -No, I know, but Danuta--
-I must go. -Hi.
-Hi.
Hi.
Uh, I'm Dylan Pettersson and I'm here for the audition.
-Are you related to Bob? -[chuckles] Bob Dylan that is.
[both giggle]
What if they got married, then they could be called…
Yeah, you could call yourself Dylan Dylan.
[both chuckle]
[inhales]
What did you say you were doing here? Or what… How can we help you then?
Audition. For, uh, the international dance company.
Yes, well that's Dadelac, right? Yes, well there was a huge audition.
-Yeah, that's right. -But that was a month ago.
What?
They've already starter rehearsals, so you're a month too late.
-There's no audition here today. -[whispers] Fuck.
Oh, no. I understand you're upset, but…
Yeah. Well, thanks anyhow.
[woman 2] So where are you going now?
Do you have anything to do? Because I'm thinking… Bettan?
-Hmm? -I don't know.
I've no idea. If there's no audition, there's nothing for me here, so…
What dancing is your sort of dancing then?
-Uh, well, modern dance, also… -[Bettan] Hmm…
Well, uh, recently it's been mostly disco.

Wait, wait. Stop, stop, stop.
You know all this… It's too hard, all this choreography.
It's… It's… No one is owning their positions.
-And this… -[dancer 1] Tommy!
This music, who wants to hear it? I thought we decided to do disco.
-This is disco. This is modern disco. -Huh? [scoffs]
[dancer 2] Yes, I agree with Tommy.
You know, you can't dance to this music. I'm not getting an inspiration from it.
-[dancer 1] I'm getting some inspiration. -It should come from within.
-This is all really superficial. -It's within. You have to apply yourself.
-Me and Magnus, we're not that-- -It's not that difficult, you know.
-There's just no sense of history. -[man 1] We shouldn't get hung up on that.
We decided to evolve a bit. Tommy, you're in the middle as you…
Um, for example, this. Put a bevel in, then it's nice and clear.
-But… Are you the choreographer now? -What do you mean?
-I mean you're choreographing. -Yes?
I mean, is that your job?
No. I'm the director, so I should be able to say this. It's about expression.
Where is the choreographer?
-I mean, you're going out with him. -He's coming.
-Oh, yes. He's coming. -Yeah, but I just wanted to show you.
-If that's-- -You? Where is he?
-You're always protecting him. -He's coming. He's coming.
Okay, why don't we… Let's take it from the top.
[chuckles] Okay, from the top. And we're not at school, right?
-[Tommy] No. -[dancers whooping]
-[director] Tommy? -Hmm.
We're having fun. Okay, into your positions. Let's go.
Oh my God! No one knows what the hell they're doing.
Tommy.
Let's take a minute. Tommy, can I have a word? Come on.
-Just one minute, people. -Yes.
You know, my knee's hurting like fuck with all this rehearsing.
I just don't get why you're so fucking negative about it.
But I didn't say… I'm just saying I think it's a bit too hard.
We decided to give it a shot. That we… That we should try and be in the now.
Yes. Okay? And it was for that reason that Victor has taken on this job.
I think we should be grateful.
-Instead of, sort of-- -I'm really grateful he wants to do it.
-But I'd be better if he was here. -Yes, I know.
Hey, I'm putting my soul into this. This is a big thing for me.
It's very important that it goes well.
-It's big for me too. -Yes.
[choreographer] Hi, boys! Sorry, I came as soon as I could.
-Let's go. Let's do it. -[Tommy] Look at that.
Here's the star choreographer himself. Oh, that's nice!
It's impossible to move to this music.
You know, why can't I do "I Will Survive"?
Because it's super old and super cheesy. Period.
Do you want your club to go out of business?
You've got to step it up!
Come on. You can't get stuck living down memory lane.
-Think new, think sexy. -[Tommy sighs]
-[sighs] -Give people what they want.
-But I have a voice. -Yes, but wait…
See, we have to think ahead.
Hey, listen. I've got to tell you. This, uh, choreography, it's all too hard.
It would be great if you could teach them 'cause they can't do it.
-[dancer 1] Tommy… -[dancer 2] We're struggling.
[Tommy] Doesn't matter if you don't know it, right?
Well, I'm having a nervous breakdown here about all of you.
That much I can say. Uh, and I'll say this:
There's no one in here who wants to see Tommy La Diva
in a panic.
Fucking hell.
Tom? Tommy?
-[indistinct chatter] -[Tommy moaning]
Oh, what the fuck?
No, not this too. [moans]
Not to be a bitch, but his show is actually called "Dancing Queens."
-In the plural. -[director] Yes, I know.
But he… he must-- He just needs to vent, okay? He's a bit upset.
But we need to keep doing it.
[director] Yes, and we will. But we need to take ten, okay?
-[choreographer] Fine. So old and tacky. -[dancer 1] Yeah, but…
Jackie?
[magical music playing]
I can't do this without you.
Why did you have to die?
[sighs]
Somehow we just have to cut back. Just cut her choreography
and sit her in the middle, okay? And let her be funny there. I mean--
What you want me to do with the rest of the numbers?
The others have to step up. That'll be the modern bit.
And just leave here standing there as the queen she is.
You know?
-This is just shit. -Are you being too ambitious?
Yes, but I don't even get what I'm doing here. Like, for real.
You're here to help me.

-Fredde, let's go. -Yeah, gonna have a word with Tommy.

But you have to… to put a little faith in what we are, that it'll be all right.
and it'll work.

And that's something you can't help me with.

But Bettan… I don't… Being a cleaner, that just isn't…
But it will only be a week of cleaning at night after rehearsals, okay?
Hey, you can come and go whenever you want.
And you can watch and learn, and improve your disco skills.
I mean, you got-- It's a chance of a lifetime for you.
If it's all the same, Bettan, I didn't come to the city to work as a cleaner.
No, but who comes here to do that?
I didn't give up my life to stay here cleaning on my own, you know.
All my chances have gone for me. Tragic, but it's true.
My friends tell me, "You're worth more."
And I think I am.
I can't just let down these wonderful drag queens.
You know they've got their premiere and it's in a right old state.
Come on. Seven days, Dylan.
You can do it. I know you can do it. And you're such a sweet girl.

-Audition? What did you do? -She got through. She qualified.
This is big deal, you know.
Grandma, this could be as far as I'll get.
I've only qualified for another week, so I'm here for the audition.
Or a… another week.
Now, you concentrate on your practice and don't worry about us at home.
We'll take care of everything. I'll take care of the shop.
-I'm looking after the shop. -No, Sebbe, you're going up to the hotel.
-No! -Listen, darling.
[Charlotte] Sebbe!
Where will you be staying the next few days?
-I guess I could get something here. -No, you listen to Grandma now.
Because I've gone and pulled a few strings for you.
Yes, do you know where you're staying?
You're going to my friend Vera's. Number 10 Skolgatan in Haga.
She has a small B and B and she… she owes me a favour.
VERA'S PLACE
Uh, hi.
Oh! Whoa, you look so much like your mum.
Uh, but, you knew my mum?
Yes. Oh, sorry. Hi, yes, I'm Vera.
Yes, and I'm Dylan.
-Yes, I know. Welcome. -Thanks.
Well, Maggan said you needed bed and board.
And I have 14 rooms here, we should be able to find you something.
-You know my gran and you knew my mum? -Yes, exactly.
Uh, we… we'll talk about that another time. Come in. Follow me.
Oh, don't bother about your shoes. Leave them on.
Oh, God, no. Of course I will.
[Vera inhales, exhales] Well, let's see.
[sighs] Ah, yes. I'll take this one here. That'll be great.
So the room's just up here.
It's so lovely to have you here. [chuckles]
[sighs] Come on.
Make yourself at home.
[Vera inhales, exhales]
-God. This is nice. -Oh, you think?
-Yeah, really. -Oh, that's good.
Uh, well, the toilet and shower are in the hallway.
Okay.
Um…
What do you, uh, charge for a room?
I know your grandma, you know. Of course I'll do you mate's rates.
I thought maybe 100% off?
-What do you think about that? -Wow.
-Uh, yes please. I'll gladly stay here. -[chuckles]
-That's perfect. -Good.
You… You must be really hungry after all that dancing.
Maggan's told me all about it.
Yeah, it's been a long day, so I am hungry.
I mean, dancing at Storan.
-Yeah… -An international dance company.
You… you must be really proud about it.
Uh, yeah. It was just like any other auditions I've had really.
Um, went through my moves. I guess I was a little nervous.
Where… Where do they come from though? From all over the world or…?
Well, it's a Belgian dance company.
Uh-huh.
Dadeluc… is its name.
And so there were…
four Belgians auditioning me.
Okay.
I didn't think I would even get through the first stage, so..
[Vera chuckles]
It's cool, all right.
-No, it's thrilling. [chuckles] -Yeah, you're right.
[inhales sharply]
Yeah, but it… We'll see. The whole thing'll take at least a week.
So I might have to stay that long. Hopefully.
-Of course you can. -Yeah. [chuckles]
We'll see.
Maggan is so excited for you. She's so proud of you.
-[chuckles] -Well let's hope for the best.
[Vera] Absolutely

Sorry. I knocked a lamp over.
-Oh, shit. I wondered who you were. -I think I scared myself more.
-Uh, hi. Ooh! -Who are you?
Uh, I'm… [sighs] …the cleaner. Covering for Bettan.

-Wait, I'll give you a hand. -Okay.

-Did… Did it shatter? -Yep.
[both chuckle]
-Hi. Victor. -Dylan.
-Oh. -Hmm?
[chuckles]
I'm the choreographer here.
Uh, I instruct all the dancers and think up dance routines.
Yeah, I know. I know what a choreographer is.
[chuckles] Yes. Sorry. Of course.
-Uh, so you're here late too. -Yeah.
I have a superstar here who nearly breaks her neck every time she pirouettes.
[chuckles] I saw that actually.
Uh-huh? Uh, when was that?
Uh, when I was here with Bettan earlier today.
Huh. [chuckles]
Hey, are you in a rush?
Uh, no. You know, I'm cleaning, but…
Do you feel like helping me out with something?
I just need someone to be a stand-in, as a dummy.
Well, it's not every day you get to be a dumb dummy.
[both chuckle]
That's not what I mean.
It's a lot easier to relate to real person than a fucking bar stool.
Come.
-Oh, thanks. -[titters]
Right, if you could just stand in the middle…
Hi-ya.
Okay.
Hang on a second, all right?
Yep, that's it.
Yes. [laughs]
[Dylan sneezes]
-Oh, sorry. -No worries. No worries.
Can you just try this, okay?
Boom. Hip out.
-Like this? -Yeah.
Boom, ha.
And boom, boom, boom, boom.
[chuckles] Just kidding.
-What did you say you were called? -Dylan.
-Dylan? -Yup.
Dylan, are you a dancer?
I dance.
You dance. Dylan, can you show me something?
If you like, sure. But I'll have to have music.
I've got music here.

This is a sinking ship.
It's the fucking Titanic. I'm telling you. [sighs]
[both exhale]
What are you saying? Are you hiring people or what?
Yes, but it's a fucking shame you're a girl.
Oh, my God.
Then you would have had a contract now.
-[Victor sighs] -Hmm.
[Victor] Tommy's been struggling for two years now, since Jackie died.
-[Dylan] Yeah? -[door slams]
[Victor] And it's like he can't find his way back.
Now he's trying to become Gothenburg's answer to Dame Edna.
-Have you heard of Dame Edna? -No.
She's like Australia's best-known drag queen.
We're talking an icon, yeah?
I met her when I was there in Australia working.
It was crazy. I mean, I get that we're in trouble.
I mean it reeks of bankruptcy, but then he decides
to do a dance show, and the old queen can't even do a single dance move.
[Victor] What a shame you're a girl.
Oh, my God.
Then you would have got a contract now.
["Vex Oh" by KAYTRANADA playing]

Ooh!

[grunting]
Come on, then!
[giggles]
I think that "I Will Survive"
could fit in extremely well in… in that whole thing, you know.
-You're joking? -No.
-I mean, I don't see why we can't… -We've been through this a hundred times.
I think the penny's dropped, I think we're on the same page,
but then it's the same story. What's it all about?
[Tommy] Fuck your penny and all your fucking clichés.
I'm talking about "I Will Survive."
-[Dylan] Yo. -Oh!
Oh, shit! Sorry. Sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you like that.
-What? -Ciao. Sorry to disturb you.
-Hi. -Dylan. Dylan Pettersson.
Tommy De La Diva, right?
La Diva.
-La Diva. -Hmm.
-The city's best drag act. -[director scoffs]
-Well… -That's what everyone says anyway.
Oh, I see.
Anyway, I know Victor and he said
you were having a few issues with you show.
-[Tommy] Oh, what? -And I thought that…
I mean, I gather that you need help. Well, don't you?
-Well, do we? -My questions exactly. Do we?
-Hmm? -Uh, that's what Victor said.
-Oh. -You just have to make it your own.
-Yeah. -Yes.
-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.
It's a little hard for us, it just feels as if you're expecting too much.
I mean, Tommy is no Nureyev, you know?
Didn't Victor ever mention me?
-No. -[Dylan] I'm a dancer.
And I, uh, had a few problems growing up with, uh…
-Everyone thinking I was so feminine. -Mm-hmm.
And my voice… I'm not sure it has broken yet, but…
Now it's just perfect because I got into drag in Australia, so…
Hang on, so you're a drag artist?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here, huh?
-Oh, my. -No, no. No.
Okay, so you're fantastic, terrific.
But it's like you've set the bar too high for us.
Put yourself in my shoes, yeah? Just think of 100 kilos.
It goes so snappily I don't stand a chance.
Yes, yes. It's fast.
But let's really try it. Just trust me and it'll all work out.
So here's the inspiration we've been waiting for.
This is about us.
-Thing is, I'm the director of the show-- -Yes, I own the club
and this is such an inspiration.
It's… It's… I have to say, here comes energy.
Victor! Your mate is here.
-[Dylan] Really hot shades, man. -You think?
Oh, yeah. Can I put them on?
-Sure. -Okay.
[director] Victor?
-They might be big for my face. -[Victor] What is it?
What it is?
Ciao, man.
-Hi. -You like the shades?
[chuckles] Yeah, it was really great yesterday.
And then I realised how… how long it's been.
And then I got to thinking about… You remember Dame Edna?
Uh, well, she's a huge act, you know.
Me and Victor worked with Dame Edna.
But shit, she found it so hard.
And so, they booked this star to help her with everything.
And he got me in, of course. Stroke of genius.
And the rest is, you know…
-Okay. -Dylan is fantastic.
-We worked together in Australia. -[Dylan] Yeah.
Uh-huh. But like, is Dame Edna still around?
She must be, like, 180 years old now.
Yeah, no. I think she's about… 80, 86 now. Still wobbling around
And she's dead cool. She's so fucking entertaining.
Yeah, Dame Edna is really on another level.
[director] You've never mentioned that Edna thing. That's really huge.
[Victor] Yeah.
Can we just cut the bullshit now and just see what… what you've got?
What is this? Is this a setup or something?
-I've got a costume. We go full drag. -No, I...
Yes. Yeah, but this is… this is… Yeah, it's amazing.
Let's do full drag. End of discussion.
-Well, okay. -It's just that…
-All drag queens have a weakness. -Mm-hmm.
Mine is that I really need to inhabit the side of myself before I go on.
I don't supposed there's an old cupboard where I can just be by myself?
-Yeah, yeah. -You can take, um, Jackie's room.
-[director] Excuse me? -[Dylan] If it's okay with him.
-[director] Are you kidding? -Victor, show him to Jackie's room.
-[director] No one's allowed to go in. -What?
-Victor? Yeah. -Good luck. This is ridiculous.
-You want us to go full drag? -[Tommy] Absolutely. Go and get changed.
-Okay. -You change your mind all the time.
You didn't want a new dancer, now we have a new dancer.
You're giving her Jackie's room?
[Victor] I mean, for God's sake. Has he lost his mind?
Wow!
Oh, my God.
Sorry, but this is the maddest thing I've ever done.
-[inhales, exhales] -[Tommy] Right.
-[Magnus] This is nuts. -Can't you feel the energy, huh?
[chuckles] Oh, Jackie, I can feel you here with us.
[magical music playing]
-Full drag now? -Yeah. Full drag!
But how are we gonna do that? We should be doing the choreography.
Yeah, I don't know. Have you heard of Dylan Petterson?
No, I know all the queens out there and I've never heard of her.
-Mm-hmm. -I think it's very fishy, all this.
We haven't even seen him dance, or anything, and he gets Jackie's room.
Is he in Jackie's room?
Yes.
I can't believe we're in here, you know.
Why? What's the big… What's it all about?
[Victor] Tommy doesn't let anyone come in here since Jackie died.
He's kept this place like some mausoleum.
I guess that's how he processes his grief, I don't know.
What's your thinking then?
You said you needed a dancer and I know how to dance, yeah?
Not lacking in self-confidence are we?
Hmm, I'm just bringing out the man in me.
[both chuckle]
I found a little boutique, it's called "Night-time Best,"
with so much nice stuff, and he said I could take what I wanted.
I won't have to pay until I decide what I want to hold onto.
Stop. What the hell are you doing? This isn't a fancy dress ball.
This is for real. What do you know about drag?
Not that much, I guess. That's why I need your help.
I'll try my hardest.

[Victor] What's happening? They warming up?
-How's it going? -Pretty good.
She's… Uh, he's getting ready.
Where did you find him?
In Australia.
Just wondering.
What is it?
I just think it's odd that a complete stranger
should turn up out of the blue looking for you.
Well, for a start, he was a friend, not a complete stranger.
-He was looking for me where I work. -I've never heard you talk about him.
Uh, what are you trying to insinuate?
Nothing. I just wonder who he is.
-A good mate. -A good mate?
-What the hell? -[sighs]
-What are you wearing? -Clothes.
-What? -[Tommy] What is this?
You were supposed to be in full drag, huh? Why are you wearing these rags.
-The costumes are being cleaned. -They're being cleaned?
-At the dry cleaner's. -Who decided that?
Uh, well, I did.
What is this? Why… why wasn't I informed?
All the costumes are at the dry cleaner's when we're supposed to be using them.
I know, but I don't have time to take responsibility for wigs, cost,
make-up, costume, everything…
-[Sasha] I do all that, Tommy. -Come on.

You were fucking awesome.
Yeah, that felt good.
You all right?
Yeah, the dancing I'm fine with, but pretending to be a guy was just…
Dylan, you can stop all that.
Look, some men are macho and some are girly.
You just have to be yourself. They've bought into you.
-[Magnus] We really need him. -[Sasha] Yes.
He'll lift the whole show.
I was sceptical at first, but now… He really proved himself out there.
It was such a huge contrast when he began dancing.
Then it was like…
-That was really something else. -It was, wasn't it?
-I have to shoot off to work now. -Don't you work here?
I've got two jobs on the go.
We'll talk later.

Bob Dylan, because my dad loves Bob Dylan.
We live on an island called Hemön, where everything's very beautiful,
but we're struggling because my mum passed away about…
[inhales sharply]
…about a one and a half years ago.
And then there's my wonderful, wonderful grandma.
She's pushing me to be something and do something with my life.
That's why I'm here.
Your turn.
Mm. I grew up in Kortedala, on my own with my mother.
She absolutely doted on me. My dad was an idiot
-who left us just after I was born. -Okay.
And dancing has been the making of me.
When other guys were going into town, well, I'd be practising my choreography.
"Fairy!" They used to shout out. But I couldn't give a shit.
Micke was the one who discovered me when I was 18.
Doing a Michael solo in a down town shopping centre in Gothenburg.
[both chuckle]
-Skål to that. -Skål.
-Mm. -Mm. Mm.
You never told me where you learned to dance.
I had no time.
But…
if you can spare me the time, I can tell you all of my story.
Tell me.
All right, so my mum…
the world's best person,
Anyway, she danced from when she was a little girl.
[emotional music playing]
Grandma used to take her into town four times per week
for her dance classes.
Grandma used to be a dancer too,
but then it all fell apart when Mum got pregnant…
with little me.
And so, I ruined it all.
No, she was okay.
But that's when she decided to give up dancing,
and to help in the shop with my Dad.
Uh, and then she opened a dance school near home
and taught me to dance too.
So my mum taught me pretty much all I know.
She loved John Travolta, so we were very big on disco.
[inhales] And then when she passed away I took over the dance school.
God, I never talk about my Mum, so that's why I'm a bit…
It's okay.
But she was the best anyway and she was a fantastic dancer.
And she…
She danced with a style that, you know, it wasn't always right,
but there was emotion in her dancing, um…
But now I run the dance school as "Dylan's Disco."
-So you run a dance school now? -Yes, I run a dance school.
And it's all going very well.
Please, Mario, can we do it one more time?
No, no, not again. No.
Please, just one more time. Pretty please.
-[in Italian] Okay. -Thanks.

[Dylan in English] Oh, Storan!
You know I went there for an audition, right?
Something Grandma found online
for some arty, trendy international dance company.
But it was a month too late. She had the wrong date.
-You're kidding. You missed the audition? -No it's true. Yeah, it's fucking stupid.
[chuckles]
But anyway, I wouldn't have fitted in in a place like that.
What the fuck you talking about? You're awesome.
Why do you say that? Why do you say that when you don't know about it.
Yeah, but I'm only a disco dancer.
They… I guess they want classically trained.
So the crazy thing is that I've told my father and Grandma
that I've been called back for an audition for a…
So I can stay here and be at Queens.
[chuckles]
But did you want to be on that stage?
[sombre music playing]
Yeah, I did.
But such is life. You don't always get what you want.
-[Dylan on phone] Hi, Grandma. -Hello, my darling. It's you.
How's it going? Tell me.
Well, it's going great. I've just finished a session
and I got a callback to the next stage,
so that's all right.
But how about we Facetime.
No, it's not working here. I tried it earlier, but it's not working.
I'll ask Sebbe to help with the settings and everything.
I don't really know how to do the settings.
How's it all going with… with the shop?
You mustn't worry about anything. Everything is really going like clockwork.
You see, darling, I'm just relaxing in the front room for a few minutes.
We've just eaten, we had a nice casserole that I made.
And now we're going to have some Swiss roll and coffee
and watch some TV.
I miss that.
But listen, can't you just give Facetime another go?
No, but darling. No, but it doesn't work, you see.
It didn't work. It's gone kaput. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
-Don't you think? -But…
For now, my darling, I want you to focus on all the things you want to do.
-You see that's… -Okay.
Is that Dylan?
-Is that Dylan? -Yes.
I'm going to pass you over now, it's your father.
-Yes, hello? -Hi, Papa.
-Hello, my darling. How are you? -I'm fine, but how are you?
-Well, you know how it is. -Pep her up a bit, okay?
Yes. Shh! I'm keeping going.
-I've been thinking about you, you know. -Yes.
Same here, yeah.
You know… You know what Bob would say,
-"If you ain't got nothing…" -[both] "…You got nothing to lose."
Nothing to lose. [chuckles]
I know.
-Tell her we love her. -Yes, we love you.
-Love you. -Bye.
[sighs]
My, God, you seem so miserable with her.
-You could try and be a bit more upbeat. -No, but…
What do you think she's going through We both really have to try.
I'm also sad too. All of us are suffering, but we must cheer up, up, up.
-But please… -For Dylan's sake.
What if she doesn't make it?
Oh, please! I never think like that.
Try and be a bit more positive, huh?
And if the worst happens, we'll deal with it there and then.
Why are you lying to her? We're didn't have a casserole.
We're not sitting in the front room. Why don't we tell her the truth?
Why?
It's only a little white lie to make her feel better for a bit.
-[sighs] Okay. -I'm just trying to give her a boost.
Okay.
Hi, Dylan.
-[inhales] Oh, hi. -Hi.
Sorry. I… I wanted a cup of tea. I didn't mean to disturb you.
You're not disturbing me. I'm just doing a bit of work here.
But I'll fix you one. The tea's ready. Sit down.
I'll fix you a cuppa. You must be pooped.
Right? Do you want a sandwich too?
-Uh, no thanks, I'm all right. -Are you sure?
Uh, yeah.
[inhales, exhales]
Right. Tell me all about it.
How did it go today? What did you have to do?
It's so exciting.
What did you have to do? Were you on stage again today?
Uh, yeah, we were. Yeah.
Is anything wrong?
-You didn't make the next round? -Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes?
Are you okay?
-I'm… I'm just tired. -Of course you are. Of course you are.
It's all good.
I don't know what's wrong, but it's…
I'm thinking so much about my Dad.
I'm having a really good time at the moment.
-I want to be here, um… -Mm-hmm.
…but it's like I feel guilty because I know I really should be with him.
-[sighs] -Don't think that.
And then it's Grandma as well.
She's spent… She's spent all her time since Mum died
making sure that I'm… that I'm all right and so on.
And I know that she's actually not. She's also depressed.
And I shouldn't be having fun here, you know?
That's really not cool.
Dylan, dear…
Don't think like that.
Sometimes it feels when I'm at home as if…
[sobs] …there's something… something about the house
and everything reminds me of Mum.
It's like I can feel that she's still there.
But now when I'm away from home,
it's as if it's all…
[sobs]
As if I'm losing her. I don't know.
And I'd just really love to be able to tell her about it all.
There are so much that's new and fun.
-Of course you want to. Of course you do. -Yeah.
It's a real bummer.
And I've kept a lid on it for so long. For Papa's sake.
[inhales, exhales]
So that sucks.
It's a lot to take on for a young girl.
[sniffs]
-Yeah. -You know, I…
I knew your mum, a long time ago.
Yeah?
You know, I…
As a kid I was fostered by your grandma and grandpa.
And they became my new family.
And… And then your mum became the sister that I'd never had.
-So you were close, you and Mum? -Yes.
[sniffs] We were at the time.
And she was just the best person I've ever known.
She was so funny and lovely.
And you know… [inhales]
She danced… absolutely all the time.
[sniffs]
I was so very jealous of her.
[chuckles]
[inhales]
You said you were worried about Kenneth?
Mm.
Yes, since Mum…
died, he's…
gone into a depression and he's really just…
It's almost as if I'm losing my papa as well.
[sighs]
[Dylan] Did you two know each other?
Yeah, yeah. We did actually.
They were already together. We all used to hang out a lot, yeah.
Then you stopped being friends?
[clear throat] We… We were so terribly young.
And there were so many strong emotions at play, and…
[inhales, chuckles]
Sometimes, it's just not impossible.

Let's carry on. We'll sort that later, I promise.
It's gonna be fantastic with the new gowns.
Why are we having new gowns? We already have dresses that were fantastic.
They were wonderful.
You can't even get into the old costume.
What did you say?
[chuckles] I said, you can't even get into the old gown.
[scattered laughter]
-[Victor] Tommy, don't worry about it. -Thanks a lot.
The main this is, with Victor,
we're doing new numbers and it's not 1995.
You could see the show. Put the dress here, you don't need me.
And if you don't mind me saying, I feel like my whole body's swimming.
I'm so fucking hungry.
-As for all this shit, I've had enough. -Okay. Let's take a half hour break.
-Then later we'll put the dress on… -Yes, it's going to be great.
-You are all amazing. So great. -[Tommy] Fuck you. Load of shit!
Good job.
[Magnus] Thanks.
[light orchestral music playing]
Are you okay?
[Dylan sighs]
[groans]
I'm so sorry. He's acting like a fool.
-He's stressed out. -No, it's not…
I feel I can't open my mouth, okay?
Because I'm afraid they're gonna rumble me.
And then I won't be able to dance here again.
They're not gonna rumble you, Dylan.
Don't worry about it. They think you're a guy.
Can we get some food for Tommy? His blood sugar is low.
Am I allowed to eat? I thought I was a fat bastard just now.
They must think I've been struck dumb.
[Victor chuckles]
-Silly. -[sighs]
But it must seem odd that I never contribute.
But you're here to dance, you're not here to make small talk with them.
Dylan is new. He's not got fucking clue
where he's supposed to be in this choreography either.
-No, he learns fast. -He will.
Yeah, I hope you're right.
We all need to work towards this premiere together
or it's not gonna work out.
Yeah.
I thought you were killing it until we broke. I don't understand why--
-You can't say I was killing it. -We were all rehearsing.
But I think it looked just great.
-I didn't feel I was nailing it today. -[Micke] Where the fuck is Victor?
-No, but why... -[muffled chatter]
[Dylan chuckles]
You are one of the few people who actually makes me feel all right.
[chuckles]
Hmm.
It's the same for me.
"I Will Survive," Tommy. -"I Will Survive."
What is it about then?
-It's all about surviving. -Exactly.
-But-- -We have to survive.
That's what we're focusing on. We have to. We have to.
-Yeah, yeah. -Just give it a chance.
Absolutely. I'm giving it a chance. I'm sitting here eating.
I'm not saying anything.

Where have you been hiding.
Well, where haven't I been hiding?

Dylan.

Anyway, you're stars. All of you, really.

This bust be the best show I've seen in all the time I've worked here.
That's for sure. Yes!
Lovely to hear that!
-Ra-ta-ta, premiere! -Hi. Hi. Excuse me. Excuse me.
I just wanted to say thanks for the show. It was fantastic. And Dylan…
I think I'm… I think I'm in shock.
Is it really you? What are you doing here?
-What happened with Storan, eh? -This is Sebbe.
-Sebbe, Dylan's childhood friend. -Hi, Sebbe.
-Why the fuck are you here? -I had a row with Dad, and I thought…
-I've always wanted to come here. -Why? Why do you want to come here?
I'm… I'm gay.
-[Sasha] How do you know one another, hmm? -[Sebbe] We're childhood friends.
We're like siblings. Sis…
God, you all looked amazing, it was unbelievable.
-[Sasha] Oh, thanks. -But isn't this cheating a little?
Asking a real girl to do drag for a drag show?
Isn't it?
-[Sasha] Excuse me? -[Magnus] What do you mean?
[Sasha] What?
I mean… I mean, it's great. It's really progressive
-signing up a real girl to, uh… -Sebbe…
-Sebbe. -So, what? Dylan?
They don't know I'm a girl.
You mean… Do you identify yourself as a real girl?
Dylan? What the fuck?
Dylan, it's okay.
Yes, I'm a girl.
Did you hear that?
-But… -Yes, I… I knew that.
Is Dylan… Is Dylan a woman?
Yes, of course he is. Of course he's a woman.
I'm a woman, we're all women. What's your problem?
-So you swanned in here and… -[Tommy] But how could I know?
-…fucking lied? And you knew about it? -[Tommy] I had no idea about it, did I?
-Is this a fucking masquerade? -What do you mean woman? I'm one too.
-[Sasha] Micke, so, uh, Dylan is… -We're all women, aren't we?
Dylan is a woman, and, uh, Victor knew apparently.
I'm so sorry. I assumed you wouldn't hire me unless I was a guy.
-It stupid of me, but… -[Magnus] How fucking prejudiced!
-After all the stuff we talking about.. -What… What? You knew about this?
-Dylan, it doesn't matter. -[Micke] Okay.
So you have… you've lied to everyone here?
And you've put Queens' reputation at stake.
What reputation?
Reputation! This is a drag show club!
[Victor] She mesmerized the audience.
She just saved your fucking show!
[Micke] She's fake! These are real people.
Real people who have sacrificed something to be themselves,
to come out as the person they want to be. There is a big fucking difference.
[sobs] It's not his fault. Shit!
Don't you understand that this is about something…
No, actually. This is about something else. This is about you and me.
-You're bringing up our private life. -Yes--
This hasn't got anything to do with her.
-You're angry about something else. -What, that you're killing me?
Yeah, you're killing me.
It's one thing that you've found someone younger,
but going over to the other side…
What other side? There is no fucking side.
That's fucking hard to take, you know, after six years.
Six years.
Well?
[groans] My God, how dramatic.
[Sasha sighs]
What I don't understand is why she didn't feel able to tell us.
After everything we've…
-No. -We're a… We're a family.
-What the fuck? -I don't understand why she had to lie.
[sighs]
Sorry. [sobs]
-[Magnus] This isn't your fault. -[Sasha] Don't be silly. Not your fault.

Micke, please! Can you please apologise properly? You behaved like an idiot.
Apologize to her.
-But… But we… -[Tommy] We? You mean "you."
-[Micke] I haven't been fair to you… -No, no, and I'm sorry.
-No, it was him. -Yes, but Tommy, I was wrong to lie.
-That was stupid. -She stole Victor.
-What did you say? I didn't steal anyone. -[Tommy] What?
Leave your fucking boyfriend out of this. Just apologise to her.
-I'm sorry, but she stole Victor. -No, listen…
You and Victor probably need to talk about some things,
but I really want to say sorry for lying to you.

Dylan? She's up at the shop.
-Are you her pupils? -Yes. She should be here by now.

You too.

-Uh, yas! -[all cheer] Yes!
She's back!

[choreographer] Let's take it from the top again.
When they're all in a line, I want that line to be perfectly straight.
-[woman] I know. -They're not.
There's too much space between those two.
When they move they need to fill the space. All of the space.
God, that's what I'm talking about, you see?
It's great when they do the diagonal like that.
And up!
Perfect. Open up.
-There you are. -Right.
-Well, she's here now. -Hi.
-Oh, my lovely Dylan. This is it.
-[Dylan] Bettan, tell me what's going on. -No, come on.
-She has to go in on her own. -[Micke] But--
Bettan… Bettan, she hasn't even agreed to this yet.
-But are… are you sure? -Can't you at least give me a hint?
[Bettan] Come here.
[upbeat electronic music continues]
Angèle! Angèle!
Stop. Stop. Let's take a break.
Let's take ten.
Okay. Ten minutes, guys.
-Dylan, I presume? -Uh, yeah.
-[Angèle] Mm-hmm. -Yep.
-Well, welcome. -[Dylan] Thank you.
Dylan, come. Come here.
Bettan, you can go.
-Oh, okay. -[Angèle] Okay?
Dylan, come here.
[hopeful music playing]
Are you okay?
Yeah, but I don't know what the fuck I'm doing here.
[Angèle] Well, I'm the choreographer of this show.
Victor here has spoken very warmly about you.
The dancer who was going to dance the duet with him is unfortunately ill.
And it sounds as if you would be perfect for the role.
So we've decided you can have a go at it.
Well? What do you say?
-[Dylan chuckles] -Yes? Okay. Go and get changed now.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Is this okay, all this?
[chuckles] Are you joking? This is insane.
They haven't even seen me dance yet.
It's no problem. They trust me. I've worked with them for ages.
Why didn't you tell me you worked here?
You never asked.
No, I didn't.
Well, perhaps I need someone.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
-Well… -You must know what I mean.
You mean you and I should…?
Yeah. And what's so weird about that?
Dad was… was shocked of course, although…
-I think it wasn't such a shock actually. -No.
-I think he had an idea, -Was he… Was he angry?
[sighs]
No. Not really.
How did you get here today?
-We walked here. -We took the boat, but we… we…
[inhales]
I feel a little bit nervous.
There's so much at stake here for her,
because this is what she should be doing.
-She should still work at Queens as well. -[all] Yes!
-No, they didn't let me stay in there. -[both] No?
And it's largely thanks to me that she's here, actually.
Because she stood in for me.
-When I was in Kiruna. -Kiruna?
Yes, I went to Kiruna to meet a bloke I met online.
-Find he's a fucking birdwatcher. Loser. -[Tommy sighs]
He never pointed his binoculars at this bird, that's all I can say.
I froze my arse off and I didn't even get laid.
It… It could work if they like her enough,
You see, our gigs are at different times from theirs.
So if they want… if they want to take her on that could work perfectly.
Well, you know, Dylan was born for that fucking stage.
-Mm. -Isn't that right?
[dramatic orchestral music playing]
[woman] Take it slowly. Breathe it.
That's it.
Amazing.
Softly. Slowly.
What's this all about? Will she be working here now?
It's a form of audition. I don't know if they've taken her on.
If they want her, she won't be able to dance with us.
Could be that she's able to work at both.
You can have more than one job if you're up for it.
But I don't get it. When the fuck did she learn all this?
-Shh. Silence. -Shh!
[dramatic orchestral music continues]
-[Joel] That's enough now. -Yes. We're coming to watch.
But it's fantastic.
-Yeah, but.. -Magnifique!
Merci, merci, merci.
-I'm such a fan. -Yeah. I got that, yes.
Merci.
-Why don't you talk to her a bit more? -Shh!
-Send her my love. -Sorry.
It was him.
[woman] And look at each other please.
Very good! Very good!
[audience cheering and applauding]
-[Dylan chuckles] Thank you. -[Sasha] That's amazing.
Dylan. Grandma's here.
And she's very excited.
[door knocking]
It's Grandma!
[muffled disco music playing]
What a wonderful place with all these feathers!
-This is my dressing room. -This is so magnificent.
I can't take it all in. So much glitter and all these feathers.
I'll want to show you something.
I found such a lovely picture
of you and your mum.
Here you are.
Oh, Mum…
And is the hurt still there when you're dancing, like it was?
[Dylan sighs]
-No. -No.
It is a bit, but…
-But it's like she's with me here. -Hmm.
[door knocking]
Hi.
Are you coming? They're waiting for us at Alfonso's.
Oh, Victor. You are really a consummate artist!
-Such and amazing… -[chuckles]
I'll be with you soon.
[Grandma] First Storan, now this. Come on. Let's go.
