The song of fate. Mother and daughter, brother and maid of honor, father and Devil summarize. They were all pawns in a game. They all realize what their places are on both sides of life, and they sum up their fate. Nothing could have changed the hands of time. It ended as it was always meant to end. The first verse is sung by the maid of honor and the brother. It was always these two. The second verse is sung by the father and the Devil. It was always these two. The last verse is sung by the mother, Violeta, and Violeta. It was always these three ...

Stjerner i posisjon

The moment of death. When the constellation of the stars is exactly as predetermined and the fate turns out to be impossible to manipulate. You see your life passing by and realize that everything you've had to go through had a meaning. You have grown, particularly from those unpleasant experiences. It's a euphoric, intensely pleasant experience to see that the world stops and stands perfectly still, while you never stop moving. This is your time, it's your space. This here is your place, that's your point. You're a star in the right position yourself now ...

Perfekt i en drøm

Mother and daughter have floated, hand in hand, down from a thousand-story building in Tokyo. They never hit the ground, but disappear in a flash and finally reunite with the twin, the other Violeta, who led a parallel life on the other side. She is picked up through a window and steps out on a long branch and sits down in a huge top hat together with her mother and Violeta. Here she presents the other side. They get a thousand wishes fulfilled, and everything falls into place. All the stars are in the right position, because everything is perfect in a dream ...


It's more beautiful now than it ever was before I met you

Den romantiske tragedien

Violeta is reunited with her mother. Father and brother are left at a safe distance. Beatrice promises a better life after death, but that's only if you want it. It will be fabulously great only if Violeta herself decides to jump off the skyscraper from the 1000th floor and down to the ground. Violeta has always wanted to be like her mother when she grows up. She leans out and joins her mother, hand in hand in the air, towards eternity and asks: Do you think that I have grown up now, mom ...?


Do you think now that I've grown up mom?

Det polaroide liv

Kenneth had a vision. In the middle of the day, he saw what he surely believes is Violeta's ghost, thus a dead Violeta. A frightening and disturbing vision. He has nothing but contempt and skepticism for any kind of superstition and supernatural phenomena. He does not believe in any of that, but at the same time, he has seen impossible and unexplainable things, both with Beatrice and Violeta. He gets frustrated and stressed, and he wonders if he's about to get crazy, or if it is just Beatrice who is fucking with his head. Therefore, he subjects her to harassment and rude accusations. As he puts it: "I've never seen you shed a tear for me, or for us. What have you done for us?"


What have you done for us?

Siste dans

The devil took special interest in Beatrice and Violeta. He realizes that they are not like usual people, and he is both fascinated and frightened by the fact that they possess qualities that he himself, until now, has had the monopoly on. He thought he had Beatrice under control, because he was the one who gave her a gentle push into life so that she should take up the hunt for her husband and daughter. He feels that they have a bond of trust where he is the superior. However, she turns out to be hard to steer, so he changes strategy and starts to dance up on Violeta, to reach Beatrice. To her, he appears as a life-affirming charmer who encourages Violeta to live life and seize the opportunities it offers. He caters to her and baits her with lovers in Paradise if she dolls up with braids like the girls in Paris ...


Hold onto my arm when a devil dances slowly



Can I offer one last dance

Satan i halsen

Violeta has fled from the brothers and found back to the house where they once lived. When she enters the house, she is bombarded with impressions and old memories, and she sees the former family life and her mother's life out in the world, passing by in a chaotic cabaret inside her own head. The Devil emerges out of the scenes and lures her with the only thing her father always insisted so strongly on that she must never try, namely the vodka that is standing on the organ, upstairs in the attic. The devil is a charmer, her father has been a manipulator and liar, so why not try to wet the lips with a few of the shiny drops ...


Try to resist if you can, but I promise you it won't work

Tvilling

"When Violeta was born, Beatrice was pregnant with twins. One of the girls was stillborn. Violeta was never told that she had a twin, nevertheless, she has always felt related to a mirror image of herself. A person who is just like her, but who has her own life. Violeta and her twin have grown up on each their own side of life. One has a physical life, while the other has a non-palpable. Or, as Kenneth calls it, "a polaroid life". What Violeta believed to be a reflection of herself turns out to be contact, despite the barriers, between the two. When Violeta confronts her mother with the question if her twin really exists, she gets a counter question as answer. How do you define "real"? The question and the answer change and give different results, depending on when the question is asked ...


Is it me or is it you I'm looking at?

Drøm videre, Violeta

Violeta remembers more and more of the past and has started to see through her father's one-sided propaganda against her mother. She also understands that she has an own extraordinary power, and has started to put her full potential into effect. She is drawn towards her mother, and the association between the two is strengthened every day. After seven years on the run, Violeta is ready. She flees from her father and his brother in Singapore, manages to shake them off, and finds her way back to her childhood home. There, she picks all her mother's thoughts and dreams. This is when she understands that she will meet her mother for the first time in seven years. She's a big girl now. Her mother promises her a life like no other. And when she has thawed the last bucket of ice, she understands what her mother wants and that they have been closer than she first thought. Violeta does like her mother told her in her dreams and travels right to the highest skyscraper in Tokyo ...


I was your acrobat, and I always fell right into your arms

Din kjole lukter bensin, mor

Violeta is back in the place where she and her mother used to plant flowers when she was little. She ran away from her father and found her way back to her old childhood home, which is now empty and abandoned. Her mother is out in the world, looking for her. She picks her mother's dreams until she has a large bouquet. By taking in her mother's thoughts, dreams and nightmares, Violeta gets to see how her mother has been grieving and shedding tears for seven years, upstairs in the attic. She gets to witness her own mother's decay. How she turned skinny and pale, with the cigarettes, the vodka, and wearing her partly burned wedding dress. Violeta dreams about meeting her mother again, but is unsure of how that is going to be. They are both seven years older now. She romanticizes her mother's eccentric features, and outlines ten things that she feels they would have to do to get reacquainted. A dress and red wine she doesn't mind. Sulfur and gasoline, on the other hand...


Er fantastisk vakker

Begravelsespolka

The devil interrupts the story and speaks up. He emerges from the scenes and reveals himself to Violeta, because he considers it necessary. Yes, he exists, and therefore there is no point in either believing or doubting that anymore. Instead, one should rather start realizing a few things, right away. The Devil is offended by Beatrice, who is treading her own paths, choosing her own destiny, and thus defying his auspices. He tried to get through to her, but gets no response, so therefore he tries to go through Violeta instead, as a last resort. He asks her to tell her mother that she must start to comply. This is his show. If you don't obey the Devil, it might easily happen that your last hour is preponed ...

Tusen dråper regn

Violeta runs from her father and brother one full moon night in Singapore. She is 14 years now and has finally managed to develop her abilities enough to make contact with her mother through dreams and thoughts. They agree to meet outside of the highest skyscraper in Tokyo at a given time. But before she gets there, she must shake off the shadow that races after her. It cannot be her father, because he cannot keep up with her. It must be his brother, who is capable of withstanding Violeta's obstacles. She moves heaven and earth and manages to make it rain so hard that he drowns. At least that's what she thinks ...


And we shatter a thousand drops of rain

Svarte katter & flosshatter

After seven years on the run, Kenneth realizes that his worst fear has come true; Violeta has become like her mother - and it has happened sooner than he had hoped. Her smile is identical to her mother's now. More and more often she surprises her father by pulling one new idea after another out of her hat. The black cats of the town slink around, and flock about her. Kenneth must hurry to get rid of her, before it is too late. They have traveled around the world and ended up in Singapore, where they meet Kenneth's brother, with whom he has sinister intentions. The plan was to get rid of his daughter, sell her on the black market, and get a good price because of her supernatural abilities. But they acted too late. Violeta mocks her father and his brother, who couldn't see it coming. She runs away, headed for her childhood home. But her father's brother is right on her heels. It turns out there is more to his quite ordinary appearance than Violeta would guess...


Black cats and top hats

La det bare være sagt	Let it just be said
Kun en gong	Only one time
Før me skiller lag	Before we say good-bye
Og du går	And you leave
Og eg forsvinner	And I disappear
Og alt me har	And all we have
Sammen frå då	In common from then on
Er minner	Are memories
Du var som meg då du var liten	You were like me when you were little
Ingenting som kan endra det	Nothing can change that
Det begynte å skje ting med hele skiten	Then things started to happen with all this mess
Du forandra deg då me stakk	You changed when we left
Og bris blei til sterk vind	And a breeze turned into strong wind
Og blå himmel blei til svart	And the blue sky turned black
Eg tok deg jordå rundt i båt	I took you all around the world in a boat
Du var så søt i Singapore havn	You were so cute in Singapore port
Du låg og sov	You lay asleep
Og akkurat då la eg ingenting i det	And back then, I did not think much about it
Eg visste det, men turte ikkje sei det	I knew it, but dared not say it
Du var ikkje deg då du smilte	You weren't yourself when you smiled
Då var det di mor eg såg	It was your mother that I saw
Du klarte ikkje sjå det	You couldn't see it
Du får blod til å frysa til is	You turn blood to ice
Rett før du kommer er det bris	Just before you come, there is a breeze
Det er nesten som eg ikkje tør å snu meg	It's almost like I don't dare turn around
Når du plystrer på meg	When you whistle at me
Det skal jo vær romantisk vakkert med barnelatter	Children's laughter is supposed to be romantically beautiful
Rundt deg smyger kun svarte katter	Only black cats sneak up to you
Det er tomt for kaniner i di mors flosshatter	There are no more rabbits in your mother's top hats
Det er vanskelig å tørka smilet av en Sattan	It's difficult to wipe the smile off a Satan
Eg prøvde å tørka av ditt smil mens du sov	I tried wiping off your smile while you were sleeping
Det går ikkje av om eg spør om lov	It won't come off, even if I ask
Du var ikkje deg då du smilte	You weren't yourself when you smiled
Då var det di mor eg såg	It was your mother that I saw

Faen i båten

It's boiling in Kenneth's head when he thinks about what position he brought himself into. He married the wrong woman, had a child with the wrong woman, kidnapped the child, and is now living on the run with a devil on his heels. And in addition, he basically plans outright human trafficking in Lahore with his criminal and gifted brother. Life has taken some strange twists for Kenneth. He is pretty stressed out, but still highly motivated and sharpened. To keep the fire burning, he constantly proclaims to himself that: If you took the devil on board, your job is to row him ashore ...


Devil in the boat

Domino

The same power and influence that Kenneth's big brother had over him when they were younger is revived after the brothers' reunion. Kenneth is now totally committed to his dominant brother; he's happily reunited, and he convinced himself that all the bad things are history and that the wound he inflicted on their relationship through his betrayal 14 years ago is now healed and forgotten. He feels that he's finally complete again, and that he's finally the owner of the enormous power again that togetherness ideally can generate.


The pieces fall one by one by one

Silver

Kenneth and his brother adorn themselves with beautiful Violeta. She captures all the attention and they hide behind that. It's a delight. Kenneth is intoxicated with pride and convinced that this plan is as airtight as the one that he and his brother performed 14 years ago was. But does he actually have full insight into what his brother's plan is all about? And why doesn't Violeta wear the precious ring that she got from her parents anymore? Was it really taken by a raven, as she claims?


You shine, oh like silver, around my neck

Cecilia I. Velur

Cecilia and Beatrice go way back together. They were childhood friends, grew up together, and at one time, they also fell in love with the same man. Cecilia drew the long straw, Corvino. But it turned out that he had a younger brother, Kenneth, who was also a charming man. They married just as well a brother each. Eventually, they lost contact. Beatrice disappeared more and more into her own eccentric world, and when Corvino suddenly ended up in prison, the relationship cooled down even more. After years of bad conscience and longing for the golden times, Cecilia I. Velur writes this letter to Beatrice ...
