00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:14.200
Let me ask you this:
What made you come here?

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:17.920
I came here because for several years

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:22.760
I have seen so many people
in difficult circumstances,

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:27.320
people who have lost hope.
And I've seen so much suffering.

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:32.840
I felt I wasn't able to take in
and process any more of this.

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.880
I need to see people
coming together in a positive way.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.480
So I thought I had to pay you a visit.

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.640
Nature...

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.040
And you will see the beauty.
But the most beautiful...

00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:32.440
Hello?

00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:34.680
Hey.

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:37.880
No?

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:44.000
No!

00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:46.160
No! Where...

00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.720
Oh, no! Okay, I'll be right there.

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:04.840
Oh, God... Roy collapsed in the street.
They think it's a blood clot in the brain.

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.480
Joralf? Are you there?

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:12.160
I can feel your hand is warm.

00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:56.520
-Can you feel this?
-No, not there. I can feel a cold hand.

00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.040
-I'm sorry.
-It's too soon.

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.160
Can you feel it?

00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:18.560
-I'm afraid not.
-No, but it will happen.

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.600
Your hand felt cold on my back,
but warm against my head.

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.240
Yes, it takes a little while.
Can you feel this?

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.640
Yes...

00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.640
I can feel a warm sensation.

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.440
-Yes. You can feel it.
-It's almost like a wave...

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.720
-You can feel this? Is it pleasant?
-Yes.

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.320
Wow...

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:55.000
It actually does feel warmer
down my body as well now.

00:05:55.080 --> 00:05:58.560
-But not below the knees.
-No, but it will.

00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:02.800
Yes, apparently there is
something happening here.

00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:11.120
-That was very strange.
-Yes, that's the nature of it.

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.920
Well... I say!

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.400
This is so bizarre!

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:24.000
When I touch people, they feel warmth,
but my hands can be cold to the touch.

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:28.680
That's what is so hard to explain.

00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:35.160
I can be freezing cold, but when I touch
people where they hurt, they feel warm.

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:41.280
Someone might want to
do some research into this.

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.120
What is this?

00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:47.080
I would gladly be at their disposal.

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:54.680
Tuva? Are you getting up?

00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:03.000
It pains me to see her youth
slip away from her while she's in bed.

00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:09.240
My daughter is chronically ill,
with a disease nobody fully understands.

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:13.560
My daughter suffers from ME,

00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:18.720
and has tested positive
for Borrelia for many years.

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:26.120
She was on an extended course of
antibiotics, which helped at the time.

00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:31.000
But when she stopped taking the
antibiotics, she became even worse.

00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:36.280
The national health service
won't give her any more antibiotics now.

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:43.480
I tell my mum sometimes that
I don't know what I'd do without her.

00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:49.680
She does everything for me.

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:59.360
I experience pain in my legs,
in my feet, in my hips...

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:01.760
I have pains all over my body.

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:17.520
-Do you want me to sit there?
-Good morning!

00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.560
-What's your name?
-Tuva.

00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:22.800
-Tuva? Where are you from?
-Skien.

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.280
How nice.

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.000
-Do you have pains here?
-Yes, quite strong pains.

00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:32.440
-How come?
-How come? I don't know.

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.760
-This. I can feel it.
-Yes. I don't know.

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.760
-Is it true, what I'm saying?
-Yes.

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:43.640
Then we must try to remove it.
That's good, right?

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.520
Just a moment.

00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:49.240
Can you feel this? Does it feel nice?

00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.200
It feels nice.
It's usually painful there.

00:08:52.280 --> 00:08:54.160
-Pardon?
-I'm usually sore there.

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.440
But not now? Is it usually painful
when you put pressure on it?

00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.240
-But not at the moment?
-No.

00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:10.560
-I say, you're a really nice person.
-Thank you, and the same to you.

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.320
-Does this feel comfortable?
-Yes.

00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:28.080
-Is your hearing weaker in one ear?
-Not to an extent where it shows,-

00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:31.880
-but very often it feels like
my hearing is worse in one ear.

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.480
-In one of them, exactly. This one?
-Yes.

00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:38.080
I can feel it.

00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:43.360
Apart from that, I can't feel much that's
wrong with you. I've found two things.

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.880
See if you can feel the warmth.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:55.120
You can hear with this ear, but
does it seem like voices are far away?

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.920
-Yes... Yes.
-They're in the distance, but they're near.

00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:05.240
-It's like sounds can't get in?
-Yes, that's what it feels like.

00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.280
-What does the doctor say?
-That everything is fine.

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:15.440
I've had my hearing checked before,
and they told me my hearing's excellent.

00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.640
-You can really feel it now?
-Yes.

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:25.200
It's not excellent, when it seems
to you like voices are far away.

00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:27.880
-It doesn't hurt.
-What was that?

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.200
It doesn't hurt anymore.
It was painful a minute ago.

00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:35.480
-But not anymore?
-No.

00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:39.000
-It doesn't hurt anymore.
-Good.

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.480
-You have very beautiful teeth. Very nice.
-Thanks.

00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:47.640
-You're a very fine young lady.
-Thank you.

00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.080
Could you feel the pain go away?

00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:58.640
-Did you feel warm?
-Yes.

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.080
And you're always cold!

00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:05.480
I haven't felt warm in five years!

00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:09.320
What do you make of
what he said about your ear?

00:11:09.400 --> 00:11:12.760
Nobody has understood this before!

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:17.720
They said there was nothing wrong,
so I figured it was imagined.

00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:23.880
When I listen to music with headphones
on, it feels like one side is louder.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.720
It's the same with any headphones.

00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:29.360
-So I keep trying to push it in...
-Try now?

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.120
Shall I try?

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:40.120
It could be it'll get better later,
that it's not changed yet, but...

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.120
Tell me!

00:11:51.400 --> 00:11:57.360
For once it doesn't sound like
all the music is in one ear.

00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.240
You can hear with your other ear too?
Are you joking?

00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.760
No.

00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:05.840
-Really?
-Yes!

00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:34.920
Anybody can see nature's beauty.

00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:37.520
We can see it's beautiful.

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.480
But the most beautiful of creations,
we cannot see: Man.

00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:54.160
When I'm near someone who's ill,
I receive a signal in my own body.

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.280
I feel a twinge of pain.

00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.480
And then I know
I can find out what's wrong.

00:13:00.520 --> 00:13:07.200
It's like my body goes into a mode
which lets me help people.

00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:14.240
But I think what is equally important,
is my faith and willingness to help them.

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:24.480
I'm afraid Joralf
no longer receives visitors.

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:30.760
Well, thank you very much.
I'll think of you when I'm in the sun,

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.640
in a street café and...
Yes, I will.

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.840
I will, definitely.

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:48.880
Once again,
chaos descended upon Snåsa Hotel.

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:54.000
People had travelled from near and far
to ask the "Snåsa Man" for help.

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.760
Hello? Snåsa Hotel.

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.440
The telephone keeps ringing
at Snåsa Hotel.

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:05.320
They receive more than 300 calls a day,
but now the manager says "enough".

00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:08.480
No, he can't do it anymore.
He needs peace and quiet.

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:14.160
People come here, practically
screaming. They keep calling.

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:19.080
What do we do?
We can't deal with it anymore.

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:26.680
It was 13 June, 2013.
I had to take sick leave from work.

00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:31.680
I suffer from hypopituitarism,
and secondary Addison's disease.

00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:38.560
The adrenal cortex doesn't produce
cortisol, which is a stress hormone.

00:14:38.640 --> 00:14:45.120
I have to take between 50 and 70 pills
every day, just to get through the day.

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.920
But I'm still in pain.
It feels like my muscles are torn off.

00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:54.480
-And where are you from?
-Svolvær, Lofoten.

00:14:54.520 --> 00:15:00.600
"The Lofoten Singer" sends his regards.

00:15:00.680 --> 00:15:06.480
-Stein Rasmussen. He sends his love.
-How is Stein?

00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:10.560
-Is all well with him?
-Sure, he's just fine.

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.720
-So...
-Come, sit closer to me.

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:19.040
-Is something causing you pain?
-Yes, that's right.

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.840
It's horrible.

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.160
-I'm unable to work.
-What does the doctor say?

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:34.240
He says it's not good, my ailment.

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:39.320
-It's not good.
-Can you feel it?

00:15:39.400 --> 00:15:45.720
-The warmth?
-Yes. Breathing feels easier.

00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:50.840
You can breathe more easily?
You have problems with your breath?

00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:53.560
And there.

00:15:53.640 --> 00:15:59.200
-There it is.
-Especially in the back, as my kidneys...

00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:02.880
Can you feel this?
Have your kidneys been treated?

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.880
-No.
-Is there nothing that can be done?

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.880
There's something
wrong with your kidneys?

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:14.840
Yes, I have a very rare kidney disease.

00:16:14.920 --> 00:16:19.640
-Then we must try...
-And it sits here too.

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.920
It feels very warm.

00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.440
-But here it's cold.
-Yes...

00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:43.440
-Is this comfortable?
-Yes.

00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:50.480
I haven't felt this relaxed
in over a year.

00:16:50.520 --> 00:16:55.720
-Is that unusual?
-Yes, I'm in so much pain.

00:16:55.800 --> 00:17:00.200
-But it's better now?
-Yes, right now it feels good.

00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:02.600
I don't feel any pain right now.

00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:07.000
-All over your body?
-Yes. My feet are very sore.

00:17:07.080 --> 00:17:10.680
My problems
cause my feet to be quite painful.

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.640
-Can you feel this?
-Yes, it's getting warm.

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.760
-Do you see flashes of light?
-Come again?

00:17:24.840 --> 00:17:30.480
-Do you see light flashing before you?
-No... Well, more a grey colour...

00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:32.840
I can feel it.

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.200
I'm getting very clammy.
I feel so warm.

00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:44.720
-But I'm cold.
-Yes, I can tell.

00:17:44.800 --> 00:17:49.280
But it doesn't feel like you are
when you touch my back.

00:17:49.360 --> 00:17:54.840
Your hands don't feel cold on my back.
They feel like a radiator.

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.920
It's like a radiator against my back.

00:17:58.040 --> 00:18:00.200
-Does this feel nice?
-Yes.

00:18:00.280 --> 00:18:03.080
Sit with your feet over here.

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:17.360
It's as if all the pain
is leaving my body through my toes.

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.040
-Your hands?
-Through my toes.

00:18:20.120 --> 00:18:21.560
That's good.

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:30.280
I was going to bring
some fish for you, from Lofoten.

00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:34.920
Dried cod. I thought I'd send you some.

00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:38.840
-Oh, you mustn't do that.
-Sure I will, if you want it?

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.520
Okay, just don't send me huge amounts.

00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:52.280
It's been two hours, and I still
haven't taken any medication.

00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:54.880
My legs don't hurt.

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.520
But it's during the night
we'll get some answers.

00:18:58.600 --> 00:19:03.640
-So we'll see tonight.
-I'll come knocking on your door, then.

00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.440
-Hello?
-Hello? Who's this?

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:14.520
-This is Joralf Gjerstad.
-Oh, I'm sorry. I have the wrong number.

00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:19.840
I'm so sorry. I'm at the Steinkjer
Emergency room. I do apologise.

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:21.720
Goodbye.

00:19:22.800 --> 00:19:26.600
Guess who I just dialled?
Joralf Gjerstad!

00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:37.840
Hello.

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.920
I was completely comatose.

00:19:42.040 --> 00:19:47.320
-Do you feel any pain?
-No pain. Nothing.

00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:54.360
My legs were a little sore last night,
but that was more fatigue, I think.

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:59.880
No, I slept through the night.
I just woke up a little while ago.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.440
-That felt strange.
-Strange?

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.080
Yes, I usually get up
several times a night, so...

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:13.200
-So you rarely sleep through the night?
-It's been a whole year since I did.

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:24.920
I remember when a boy died,
and there was a funeral service for him.

00:20:25.040 --> 00:20:29.400
I knew his parents,
and it pained me deeply.

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:36.920
When it was time for the funeral to begin,
I sneaked up in the bell tower to see it.

00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:42.080
But not just for this funeral.
Whenever teenagers or children

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:46.040
were buried, I would be
up there in the bell tower.

00:20:46.120 --> 00:20:53.560
I don't know why I did it.
I stood up there and cried for them.

00:20:54.800 --> 00:21:00.480
Perhaps something within my soul
was nourished by this.

00:21:00.520 --> 00:21:05.120
There was something between life
and death which urged me to witness it.

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:10.840
But it was a strange sight
for a 12-year-old to behold.

00:21:14.040 --> 00:21:18.480
Going to church was a big thing
when I was a child.

00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:22.480
Those years played a big part
in making me who I am.

00:21:22.520 --> 00:21:27.640
When my mother said
we were supposed to be in church,

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.040
that we should have gone,
but we didn't have appropriate clothes...

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.080
These painful memories are with me still.

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:44.720
But they also spark a desire in me
to try and help those who are poor,

00:21:44.800 --> 00:21:47.840
and those who are ill.

00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:21.400
-So what do you do?
-I suffer from anxiety.

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.480
Yes, but what is your profession?

00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:27.880
-I'm an actress.
-You're an actress?

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.840
Well, that's great.

00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:36.000
Well... I need to put my hands on you.

00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:41.680
Can you feel the warmth?

00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:49.440
A little bit.

00:22:52.280 --> 00:22:55.360
-Are you nervous?
-Very!

00:22:56.120 --> 00:22:59.040
-Are you always nervous?
-Yes.

00:22:59.120 --> 00:23:04.000
-Do you ears hurt as well?
-No.

00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:06.240
You don't have any pain here?

00:23:08.520 --> 00:23:10.760
Can you feel it?

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.400
Can you feel the warmth?

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.200
There.

00:23:44.840 --> 00:23:49.800
It must be very difficult,
living with anxiety.

00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:55.160
-I have stomach pains.
-And it keeps you from going out.

00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.320
That must stop.
You have to go out.

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.240
Because there's nothing wrong with you.

00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:11.120
But your nervousness is so strong
that you torture yourself.

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:16.120
You really torture yourself.
You're healthy, but so nervous.

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:18.240
And you have been from a young age.

00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:22.320
From when you were 14 or 15 years old.

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:32.640
Something in your life stopped you a bit,
and made you become this way.

00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:38.920
And for a while, it was really bad.

00:24:39.040 --> 00:24:44.680
You were so nervous it was
almost impossible just to exist.

00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:49.400
We'll try to remove that. Actually,
it is in the process of going away.

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:53.480
But it still weighs heavily on your mind.

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:58.000
-Isn't that right?
-Yes.

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:13.920
-Do you sing in a choir?
-I used to.

00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:19.240
But you quit. That was a big mistake.
You love singing so much.

00:25:19.320 --> 00:25:23.480
So you should never have quit,
but that's what you did.

00:25:23.520 --> 00:25:29.880
You should join a choir again.
It'll give you joy.

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:35.040
It's true, I do like to sing.

00:25:35.120 --> 00:25:39.720
Yes, you do. So why did you quit?

00:25:39.800 --> 00:25:44.440
-Were you nervous?
-I don't like my voice.

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.320
Ha!

00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:49.560
-Sing me a song.
-Okay.

00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:53.160
Now.

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:24.680
-Do you play the piano?
-A little bit, yes.

00:26:24.760 --> 00:26:27.320
-Can you play me a tune?
-Sure.

00:26:30.360 --> 00:26:34.680
I want you to write me.
And you must turn everything around.

00:26:34.760 --> 00:26:37.920
Turn over a new leaf.

00:26:38.040 --> 00:26:41.720
And don't underestimate yourself.

00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:46.800
You underestimate yourself
so much, it is just terrible.

00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:49.760
-You must stop doing that.
-Yes...

00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:51.840
Don't you agree?

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:57.080
You can have faith in me,
because I have a lot of faith in you.

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.000
You do?

00:26:59.080 --> 00:27:02.840
100 %. I can see
what kind of person you are.

00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.240
You have suffered
for so many years.

00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:14.600
You've cried a lot, on your own.
People have told you not to be like that.

00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.720
But you can't change because of that.

00:27:17.800 --> 00:27:22.720
Just because people tell you how to be.
Only you know who and what you are.

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:57.040
Welcome to the Gjerstad home.

00:27:57.120 --> 00:28:00.480
Joralf's childhood home
has been turned into a little museum.

00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:05.840
The room in which
Joralf was born is in this house.

00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:47.040
Here's your mail, Joralf.

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.880
-There.
-Thanks a lot.

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.760
-How are you, all right?
-Sure. And you?

00:28:53.840 --> 00:28:55.440
Yes, we're all fine too.

00:28:56.080 --> 00:29:00.920
"Dear Joralf,
I am 65 years old."

00:29:01.040 --> 00:29:06.560
"I've suffered from terrible anxiety
since losing my cat."

00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:37.480
Oh, you're so cold!

00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:41.040
-Do you like it here?
-Yes, I do.

00:29:41.120 --> 00:29:45.240
I couldn't have asked for
a better life partner than Signe.

00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:50.480
She is a very lovely type of person.

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:55.040
And we went through some rough times.

00:29:55.120 --> 00:30:02.360
Back when we didn't have any children.
It would take 15 years until it happened.

00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:07.440
Those years were
very painful for us both.

00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:13.480
But eventually we did have children
who we could care for.

00:30:15.280 --> 00:30:19.360
-Do you want me to pick you up later?
-Yes.

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:23.240
Just give me a call, as usual.

00:30:23.320 --> 00:30:29.360
-Sure, will do.
-I'll just pop down to the shop.

00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:35.000
Do you want anything from the shop?
A soft serve ice cream? No?

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:39.120
-They give us food here, you know.
-I suppose they do.

00:30:40.560 --> 00:30:46.440
Hey, there was something else...
Let's try to dance.

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:51.480
Dance? I don't think so.

00:30:54.760 --> 00:31:00.720
They must think you're drunk!

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:30.160
It hurts me deeply when someone
says to me I should make Signe well.

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.800
I feel that's very harsh.

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.880
It puts me in a situation
where you're not as strong as you think.

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.040
When I can't fix Signe's health.

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:50.200
It's very hurtful
to have people in the area

00:31:50.280 --> 00:31:57.080
who think I've lost my powers
because I can't help Signe.

00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.480
JORALF GJERSTAD
"THE SNÅSA MAN"

00:31:59.560 --> 00:32:04.240
I'M WRITING TO YOU TO LET YOU
KNOW THE CANCER HAS SPREAD

00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:06.800
HELP ME

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.360
SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING

00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:11.480
JORALF

00:32:11.560 --> 00:32:13.800
HELP

00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.280
DESPAIR

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:18.520
GOD

00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:21.120
I BEG YOU

00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:38.680
I'm diabetic and I have sarcoidosis,
an inflammatory disease.

00:32:38.760 --> 00:32:42.800
It affects the body quite like cancer.
Both my lungs are affected.

00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:46.320
It makes me tired and lethargic,
it causes muscular atrophy,

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:50.920
neuropathy, chronic pain,
strain injuries...

00:32:51.040 --> 00:32:53.640
I am no longer fit to work.

00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:56.800
I've been ill most of my life.

00:32:57.800 --> 00:33:00.680
-What were you first diagnosed with?
-Anxiety.

00:33:00.760 --> 00:33:05.080
I had an unstable upbringing.
My parents did a lot of silly things,

00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:08.920
they drank. I grew up with all of this,
and it made me insecure.

00:33:09.040 --> 00:33:14.160
We moved a lot,
and I was bullied in school.

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:18.480
-Do you wear glasses?
-I should, really.

00:33:18.560 --> 00:33:23.840
Yes, you should.
One eye is weaker than the other.

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:29.600
-They're not the same, it's like this...
-Yes, I have cataract in my left eye.

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:33.760
So you know.
You should get an operation.

00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:35.360
I think so, yes.

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.280
And sometimes it hurts here?

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:44.280
-Yes, my neck...
-Do you feel waves of pain?

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:47.680
-Did you suffer a blow, or what is it?
-I'm not sure.

00:33:47.760 --> 00:33:54.560
-It's not like a normal head ache.
-No, it's more like waves? Like this?

00:33:54.640 --> 00:34:00.040
-Painful, and then it's gone.
-Yes, it comes and goes suddenly.

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.040
Kind of like a rubber band.

00:34:09.120 --> 00:34:12.480
Oh, that's really warm!
It feels really warm.

00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:21.800
-One side of your stomach is sore.
-Yes, this one.

00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:24.400
-Why is that?
-I don't know.

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:28.840
-You should be seen by a doctor.
-I presume it's caused by medicines.

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.840
Too many medicines.

00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.480
You must take this seriously,
and go see the doctor again.

00:34:38.120 --> 00:34:41.520
You're having a hard time.

00:34:41.600 --> 00:34:46.440
You think a lot.
You shouldn't think too much.

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:51.720
Well, I try not to!
But it's not so easy.

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.600
You dismiss yourself.
You mustn't do that.

00:34:55.680 --> 00:35:00.920
If you want to live, you mustn't
have such a bleak outlook.

00:35:01.040 --> 00:35:06.480
Everything looks bleak to you.
There's no joy in your life anymore.

00:35:06.560 --> 00:35:09.080
That's a great pity.

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:16.680
You are going through
a period of your life

00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.160
which may be hard
to make sense out of,

00:35:20.240 --> 00:35:24.240
but things will only get better from here.

00:35:27.160 --> 00:35:31.760
You have an unfortunate
ability to belittle yourself.

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:37.120
It's terrible. You mustn't do that.

00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:42.680
You have to try not to do that.
If you can find joy,

00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:48.360
joy over today and joy over life,
then the pain might just go away too.

00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:52.440
But right now you are causing
the pain to only grow and grow.

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:59.240
You're simply feeding the pain.

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.560
My back feels very different.

00:36:03.560 --> 00:36:09.520
I can feel this heat,
it's as if I've taken painkillers.

00:36:09.600 --> 00:36:12.440
It feels like I'm on medication.

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:16.520
That's funny,
when all he did was touch me.

00:36:16.600 --> 00:36:18.120
What a strange sensation.

00:36:18.200 --> 00:36:22.040
When he touched my back,
it felt like it was shooting through my leg.

00:36:22.120 --> 00:36:24.800
It was very bizarre.

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:30.040
But only time will tell.
Maybe it'll stay this way?

00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:34.760
I did feel a big difference in there.
It was like my back disappeared.

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.160
I couldn't feel any back pains anymore.

00:36:37.240 --> 00:36:40.440
That's a little crazy. I'm not used to that.

00:36:41.120 --> 00:36:45.560
-I hope it stays like this for a while.
-Yes, let's hope so.

00:36:45.640 --> 00:36:51.320
It was funny, he knew a lot about me
which nobody had told him about.

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:55.040
I know, he's like that.
It's just the way it is.

00:36:55.120 --> 00:36:57.200
That's the thing.

00:36:58.720 --> 00:37:03.040
Do you have any idea
how this came to be?

00:37:03.120 --> 00:37:04.760
No.

00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.200
Not at all.

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.640
-That's just the way it is.
-Yeah.

00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:15.720
-Nobody talks about it much?
-No, we don't, really.

00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.480
I was nine months old when I arrived
in Snåsa, to live with Joralf and Signe.

00:37:44.520 --> 00:37:50.120
They adopted me. And what
a joyful day that was, so I've been told.

00:37:53.520 --> 00:37:58.480
I was vulnerable and small,
and was given a new home.

00:37:58.520 --> 00:38:04.800
These things can make you feel
like you want to give something back.

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:14.480
At times people have thought that I have
the same abilities, but I was adopted!

00:38:17.560 --> 00:38:24.240
He helps me with everything
I can't do myself. That's a lot.

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:29.560
I can get myself into bed, just.

00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:34.880
Well, I shouldn't exaggerate.
But it doesn't take long before

00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:41.720
I get very anxious
if I can't get a hold of John Sverre.

00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:48.560
In that moment he can
almost sense that I need him.

00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:54.000
I do get a little beside myself
if I can't reach him.

00:38:54.080 --> 00:38:57.520
That must be old age,
because it never used to be like this.

00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.160
-Hi!
-Hi.

00:39:25.240 --> 00:39:30.360
-And here's Marthe.
-Marthe! Well, I never!

00:39:32.080 --> 00:39:36.800
-Hey, you.
-Hi, Marthe! Long time, no see!

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:42.080
-Did you miss me?
-It's good to see you, Joralf.

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:47.520
Tell them about the first time we met.
Do you remember?

00:39:47.600 --> 00:39:53.800
-Not just now, but...
-Didn't your feet hurt?

00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:58.600
-Yes.
-And you walked up the stairs?

00:39:58.680 --> 00:40:00.480
Indeed I did.

00:40:00.520 --> 00:40:03.000
-But you couldn't before.
-No.

00:40:03.080 --> 00:40:06.280
But then you could walk,
and then you and I became friends.

00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:11.600
-One night you brought me roses.
-Yes, I did.

00:40:11.680 --> 00:40:17.160
"These are for you, for being so kind",
you said to me. But you're the kind one.

00:40:17.240 --> 00:40:23.480
Yes. But you're really nice too, Joralf.

00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:26.560
-Marthe, do you want to come up here?
-Yes!

00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:31.480
Give a big hand for Marthe!

00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:01.520
-Great!
-Yes!

00:41:01.600 --> 00:41:04.480
That was excellent, Marthe Sakshaug!

00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:10.360
-I'll leave now, but you must think of me.
-You know I will.

00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:15.160
-Are you sure?
-Of course I'm sure, Joralf.

00:41:15.240 --> 00:41:20.520
-I'll always love you, Joralf.
-I know you will.

00:41:20.600 --> 00:41:24.360
Thank you for being so kind
and coming to see me.

00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:30.480
Thank you for
singing that beautiful song.

00:41:30.520 --> 00:41:32.720
Take care of yourself.

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:36.480
You're good.

00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:49.720
Since birth I've have locked joints in my
neck, down my back and in my pelvis.

00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:55.640
I really wish he could just
make the joint locking disappear.

00:41:56.880 --> 00:42:00.280
I'm very afraid of the dark,
and of being alone.

00:42:01.720 --> 00:42:09.160
I'm very scared of dying.

00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:17.440
I have a lot of horrible nightmares.

00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:23.600
It's because bad things often happen
to the ones I love.

00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:28.040
My father has been very close to death.

00:42:28.120 --> 00:42:32.720
And the doctors don't know what's wrong
with him, so they can't help.

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:40.200
Maybe he too could get some help.

00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:47.040
She's diagnosed with
KISS/KIDD syndrome,

00:42:47.120 --> 00:42:51.360
which has developed either
during pregnancy or at birth.

00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.640
Her joints are locking,
her atlantoaxial joints and spine,

00:42:55.720 --> 00:42:59.720
and sometimes in her hips and pelvis.
All over, really.

00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:03.840
It affects both sides of her body,
so it wasn't visible until very late.

00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:08.000
So the condition had a lot of time to
take hold. She's been in a lot of pain.

00:43:08.080 --> 00:43:09.640
A lot of pain.

00:43:17.720 --> 00:43:20.240
-Hello!
-Good afternoon.

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.760
-I'm Mira.
-Nice to meet you!

00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:27.280
Please take a seat.
Where are you from?

00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.680
I'm from Sarpsborg.

00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:33.360
Are you in fourth grade? Fifth?

00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:37.640
-I'll soon start sixth grade.
-Wow! How old are you?

00:43:37.720 --> 00:43:39.720
I'm eleven.

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:44.040
-Are you doing well at school?
-Quite.

00:43:44.120 --> 00:43:47.160
-Do you like maths?
-Yes.

00:43:47.240 --> 00:43:48.680
-And English?
-Yes.

00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:56.480
Wow!

00:43:57.480 --> 00:43:59.480
Does this feel nice?

00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:07.760
-Were you nervous about coming here?
-A little, but...

00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:11.120
-But not anymore?
-No.

00:44:11.200 --> 00:44:14.160
It'll be just fine.

00:44:16.040 --> 00:44:23.200
I've often had problems with my neck.
My joints lock up.

00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:25.680
The joints in my neck get locked.

00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:32.240
Look at me. Can you feel the warmth?

00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:36.720
Oh...

00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.360
-Yes.
-Is this comfortable?

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:44.680
Turn your head the other way.
And then back this way.

00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:49.080
-Is that easier?
-Yes!

00:44:51.080 --> 00:44:55.520
-Did that feel good?
-Yes! How did you do that?

00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.840
Walk for me.

00:45:04.680 --> 00:45:06.920
What did you say?

00:45:11.160 --> 00:45:15.040
-What's the matter?
-It feels so light!

00:45:15.120 --> 00:45:17.480
Is it comfortable?

00:45:18.160 --> 00:45:21.440
Oh, don't cry.
Why are you crying?

00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:25.160
Come here. Why are you crying?

00:45:25.240 --> 00:45:27.560
-Are you feeling better?
-Yes.

00:45:27.640 --> 00:45:31.560
That's great! It's okay to cry a little, then.

00:45:32.160 --> 00:45:35.040
This feels so nice.

00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:42.040
-Is it better?
-So much better.

00:45:42.120 --> 00:45:46.480
-That's why you came here, right?
-Yeah.

00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:51.520
What do you want to
be when you grow up?

00:45:51.600 --> 00:45:53.480
A marine biologist.

00:45:53.520 --> 00:45:56.720
-Wow, that means a lot of studying!
-Yes.

00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:59.560
-But you can do it!
-Yes.

00:45:59.640 --> 00:46:03.080
-Can you feel this?
-I can feel the warmth.

00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:11.360
Walk again, let me see.

00:46:14.120 --> 00:46:16.920
-Wow!
-Do like this.

00:46:18.680 --> 00:46:20.640
Whoa!

00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:26.920
Turn around.

00:46:27.040 --> 00:46:30.880
And put your hands behind your head.
Is it better?

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.760
It feels incredibly good!

00:46:35.160 --> 00:46:37.160
-Wow!
-Incredibly good?

00:46:37.240 --> 00:46:41.080
It feels very good
getting rid of those knots.

00:46:42.040 --> 00:46:44.800
-My "backpack" is gone!
-Gone?

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:47.720
Yes, it was like wearing a backpack.

00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:50.720
My shoulders feel very light.

00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:53.040
Very light!

00:46:53.120 --> 00:46:58.000
My dad has been very ill.

00:46:58.080 --> 00:47:03.640
Oh, but then we must...
Is he coming to see me too?

00:47:03.720 --> 00:47:07.280
-Is he coming here?
-I sure hope so!

00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:13.600
But no doctor has figured out
what is actually wrong with him.

00:47:13.680 --> 00:47:18.360
But then we must have a look.
Go and get him.

00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:25.760
Gosh...
Dad, come! It feels so strange.

00:47:26.720 --> 00:47:32.440
I can't feel it anymore. Where are
my shoulders, are they still there?

00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:35.680
What is it that's bothering you?

00:47:37.720 --> 00:47:42.040
I have diarrhoea. I mean... My bowels.

00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:51.480
-Can you feel the warmth?
-Yes, I can.

00:47:53.080 --> 00:47:55.480
-Does it feel nice?
-Yes, it does.

00:47:55.560 --> 00:48:01.040
-You don't believe in this, do you?
-No, that's true.

00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.360
-But your daughter believes in it.
-She does.

00:48:07.160 --> 00:48:11.360
It's perfectly normal
for you to not believe in this.

00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:16.440
So it wouldn't be normal
for you to get well now, huh?

00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:19.000
Well, in that case...

00:48:20.640 --> 00:48:23.920
That would be like
being given the gift of life.

00:48:24.040 --> 00:48:28.280
-Can you feel this?
-Yes, I feel a strong heat.

00:48:33.600 --> 00:48:36.880
-You can feel it?
-Yes, it's warm.

00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.080
Is it comfortable?

00:48:54.080 --> 00:48:56.400
I feel good! I feel just fine.

00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:59.880
-Better than in a long time?
-Yes, absolutely!

00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:03.520
You'll have to believe in this now?

00:49:03.600 --> 00:49:08.640
-Well, there must be something...
-Ach, I'm just joking.

00:49:08.720 --> 00:49:12.560
I have to see how I feel later,
but it's very strange, I must say.

00:49:12.640 --> 00:49:16.200
-You'll have a well daddy now.
-Yes.

00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:18.880
-Goodbye!
-Bye.

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:21.760
We'll write you!

00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.800
How do you feel?

00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:27.360
I felt this heat through my body...

00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:32.160
-My locked joints, they just...poof!
-Are you joking?

00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:34.240
-No.
-You can feel it?

00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:39.360
Yes, I feel better than I ever have!

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.440
Wow... Here, hold my hand.

00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:52.880
-Look at that... Completely relaxed.
-Yes.

00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:03.600
Mira's very happy.

00:50:06.160 --> 00:50:11.920
I told him about dad as well,
and then he told me to go and get him.

00:50:12.040 --> 00:50:18.000
He said he thinks
I'll be completely well again.

00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.120
Aron, come.

00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:32.320
Let me feel you.

00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:43.240
If this means some new doors
are opened, then...

00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.880
...it means that maybe...

00:50:51.560 --> 00:50:55.560
...maybe you can
take over the football coaching.

00:50:55.640 --> 00:50:58.600
I would love to do that.

00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:15.040
I think things will work out.
Mira was completely... It's fantastic.

00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:14.800
-Have you been ill for some time?
-Yes, almost three years.

00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.080
I keep thinking about my children.

00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:28.000
They are five and ten years old now.

00:52:28.080 --> 00:52:31.480
They'll need their mummy
for many years still.

00:52:31.520 --> 00:52:38.880
-What kind of disease do you have?
-Breast cancer, and it's metastatic.

00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:46.000
My cancer specialist at Ullevål said...
Before it spread, she said:

00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:54.800
"If it spreads, it means it's the type of
cancer we have good medicines for."

00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:02.880
So this means, even if I'm extremely
unlucky, I've had a bit of luck as well.

00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:07.480
There is good medication available.
I get Herceptin every three weeks.

00:53:07.560 --> 00:53:11.040
It extends the lives of many
cancer patients by several years.

00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:18.240
I can't feel it.
I can't feel your illness.

00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:21.480
-I couldn't feel it.
-No?

00:53:21.520 --> 00:53:27.600
Perhaps... I was diagnosed
with breast cancer three years ago.

00:53:27.680 --> 00:53:34.280
And one year ago, they told me
it had spread to my bones.

00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:39.920
I've been treated with radiotherapy.
They've told me

00:53:40.040 --> 00:53:44.520
I'll never be well again,
but they'll try to keep it under control.

00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:53.280
I couldn't feel what was wrong with you.
I usually do, but not this time.

00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:57.720
-The only thing I could feel, was here.
-Okay.

00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:03.000
But exactly what ailment you have,
I can't feel it.

00:54:03.080 --> 00:54:10.360
I nearly always do. But perhaps
it was removed by your treatment.

00:54:19.160 --> 00:54:22.120
-I can feel this.
-Right.

00:54:24.600 --> 00:54:28.600
I've had pains in this spot
for many years.

00:54:28.680 --> 00:54:31.640
That's what I'm saying. Right there.

00:54:31.720 --> 00:54:35.200
But I've had it checked,
and they've found nothing.

00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:38.680
-But it's still painful?
-Not so much anymore.

00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:44.480
-But I do have a spot there, where...
-Yes, I can feel that.

00:54:45.680 --> 00:54:51.360
-I'm sorry I couldn't feel your illness.
-I'd like to think that's a good sign.

00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:54.640
I couldn't feel it at all.
I must honestly tell you that.

00:54:54.720 --> 00:54:59.880
I saw your hand too,
but I still couldn't feel anything.

00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.200
-I hope you're not insulted?
-Not at all!

00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:08.080
-Thank you so much.
-Good luck and safe journey home.

00:55:08.160 --> 00:55:09.880
Send your children my love.

00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:14.720
I will, they'll love that. They think it's
very exciting that I'm here to see you.

00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:17.600
-I'll send them a little something.
-Thank you!

00:55:17.680 --> 00:55:24.640
And my doctor sends his regards.
He's a fantastic man, and he said:

00:55:24.720 --> 00:55:28.080
"Send my regards to Joralf
and tell him he's doing a good job."

00:55:28.160 --> 00:55:31.480
-Thank you, and send my regards.
-I will.

00:55:31.520 --> 00:55:37.040
After you leave here,
you'll have happiness and tears.

00:55:37.120 --> 00:55:42.200
But take it as a good sign.
I know you'll cry.

00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:49.480
But don't cry over your illness.
Cry instead of joy, over the good things.

00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:04.440
Come in.

00:56:05.560 --> 00:56:09.120
-Hi.
-Hello!

00:56:10.680 --> 00:56:13.280
-Come on in!
-Thank you.

00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:23.160
First of all: Everything is fine!

00:56:23.240 --> 00:56:24.880
-Is it really?
-Yes!

00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:27.760
-Oh, that's great!
-Everything.

00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.280
Gosh, that makes me happy.

00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:39.120
-Did you expect something else?
-Yeah, the thoughts do haunt you.

00:56:40.040 --> 00:56:43.400
-So nothing has changed?
-Nothing.

00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:49.480
-Is it denser?
-Same changes to scar tissue as before.

00:56:49.560 --> 00:56:54.280
So we'll just continue as planned.

00:56:54.360 --> 00:57:01.800
You'll likely continue with Herceptin
for months and years to come.

00:57:01.880 --> 00:57:06.040
-Is stopping taking Herceptin an option?
-Not as far as I'm concerned.

00:57:06.120 --> 00:57:10.440
Think of the Herceptin
as your foot on the brake pedal.

00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:17.160
I would like to suggest
we give it four months until next time.

00:57:18.720 --> 00:57:22.640
-Does that scare you?
-No, four is okay.

00:57:22.720 --> 00:57:26.720
-I'm glad you didn't say six.
-No, let's go with four.

00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:28.680
That's fine.

00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:32.480
I have a profound respect
for medical science.

00:57:32.560 --> 00:57:38.760
I've always championed medical science,
it would be foolish not to.

00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:46.360
Because what I do, is something
entirely different to medical science.

00:57:47.240 --> 00:57:51.120
And it's funny.
Now I've been doing this for so long,

00:57:51.200 --> 00:57:55.240
I count a lot of doctors
among my friends.

00:57:55.320 --> 00:58:00.480
And they do a fantastic job
in their respective areas.

00:58:00.560 --> 00:58:06.320
I don't toss them aside.
I'm just glad they'll listen to me.

00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:10.480
I've never criticised medical science.

00:58:10.520 --> 00:58:17.080
I've always told people to seek
medical advice when they're ill.

00:58:17.160 --> 00:58:24.280
I may meet people who have,
for example, cancer.

00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:28.440
I can feel that there's something there.
Then I send them to the doctor.

00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:31.880
I can't do anything for them.
They need a doctor.

00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:35.240
I've been to hospital myself,
quite often.

00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:40.680
Personally, I wouldn't go to
a healer in order to get well.

00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:45.280
-I need professional help.
-Would you visit the "Snåsa Man"?

00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:50.000
It depends, if I got to know him.

00:58:50.080 --> 00:58:53.920
It's hard to get to know him.

00:58:54.040 --> 00:58:57.920
Maybe I would have gone to see him,
but I don't think

00:58:58.040 --> 00:59:02.840
he could have cured my legs.
I've been operated in both knees.

00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:06.480
That's a good question, actually.
Can you heal yourself?

00:59:06.520 --> 00:59:09.640
-No.
-That's not possible?

00:59:09.720 --> 00:59:11.240
No.

00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:14.440
So if your hearing's bad
in one ear, you can't...?

00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:16.600
No.

00:59:16.680 --> 00:59:18.800
My hearing's bad in both ears!

00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:26.040
Looks like the Snåsa Man is tired!

00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:29.040
Are you falling asleep?

00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.400
-Are you falling asleep?
-Yeah, but that's okay.

00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:38.440
As long as you don't start
talking in your sleep!

00:59:40.520 --> 00:59:46.560
You'll just stay there for 24 hours, right?
In the hospital? 24 hours?

00:59:48.680 --> 00:59:51.320
-24 hours?
-Yes.

00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:54.840
-I know nothing about that.
-Are you dreading it now?

00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:57.640
-No, no.
-Oh, yes you are.

00:59:57.720 --> 00:59:59.840
Not in the slightest.

00:59:59.920 --> 01:00:06.760
They want to check my blood.
My blood pressure's a little low.

01:00:06.840 --> 01:00:09.880
-Is that why you're going there?
-Exactly.

01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:14.440
-Is that why they're admitting you?
-I'm being admitted?

01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:18.360
-That's what the letter said.
-That's impossible.

01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:21.640
-I'm fit as a fiddle!
-Yeah...

01:00:21.720 --> 01:00:27.320
-You won't get any food or drink now.
-You're saving, are you?

01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:30.880
Saving, yes... You can have some
after the examination!

01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:35.520
I'll let the doctor know you're here,
and he'll come see you.

01:00:35.600 --> 01:00:41.880
-I'll put a little needle in your hand.
-Is that necessary?

01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:44.280
Yes, I'm afraid so!

01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:49.800
Right, I'll be on my way.
I'll talk to you on the telephone later.

01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:53.360
-That's fine, you can go.
-Alright. Bye.

01:00:54.680 --> 01:00:58.200
-I'm sure it's normal?
-Probably.

01:00:58.280 --> 01:01:05.600
Maybe we should take a little break.
How does it taste? Horrible?

01:01:05.680 --> 01:01:08.640
-No, it's okay.
-It's fine?

01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.720
-36-1.
-A bit low?

01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:16.760
Yes.

01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:24.280
Breathe in. Hold your breath.

01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:30.640
Your GP told us you have a low blood
count, that you have an iron deficiency.

01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:39.280
Now we'll find out if you have any ulcers
or anything else that can explain it.

01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:42.920
The examination is a bit unpleasant,
but you already know that.

01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.480
Now we'll take a look in the stomach.

01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:55.040
You're doing really well.

01:01:55.120 --> 01:01:59.160
Right. I'll release the air,
and then we're finished.

01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:08.160
-Did it look okay?
-Yes, it looks fine.

01:02:08.240 --> 01:02:10.680
Sometimes, after abdominal surgery,

01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:15.080
cancer might occur where
the small intestine meets the stomach.

01:02:15.160 --> 01:02:18.600
-There are no signs of this in your case.
-So all is well?

01:02:18.680 --> 01:02:23.040
It looks fine, and there are no ulcers
that would explain your blood loss.

01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.840
-Have a safe journey home.
-Thanks. Bye.

01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:36.760
It was nonsense sending me here.
Nobody's as healthy as me!

01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:41.880
Well, it's... Ow! I got an electric shock.

01:03:19.160 --> 01:03:23.760
I was born with hydrocephalus.

01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:26.480
An accumulation of fluids in the brain.

01:03:26.560 --> 01:03:30.400
I had over twenty operations
by the time I was nine months old.

01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:33.920
They just wanted to give up on me.

01:03:34.040 --> 01:03:40.160
They put me in a room, in a row of beds
with other children they had given up on.

01:03:40.240 --> 01:03:43.000
They were put there to die in peace.

01:03:43.880 --> 01:03:50.760
But my parents refused to accept this,
and physically removed me from there.

01:03:58.120 --> 01:04:02.840
I can't feel it.
I can't feel anything.

01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:05.760
And it's... I'm a bit...

01:04:07.560 --> 01:04:10.240
-Should I take my shoes off?
-No.

01:04:19.640 --> 01:04:23.320
-Can't you feel anything?
-No.

01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:27.880
-You have no sensation?
-No, I can't feel anything in my legs.

01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:31.760
My legs have no sense of touch.

01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:35.640
I can't feel when I need
the bathroom, nothing.

01:04:35.720 --> 01:04:38.120
And that's that.

01:04:59.920 --> 01:05:03.200
Walk for me again, let me see.

01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:35.120
I have a shunt here,
and three or more drains

01:05:35.200 --> 01:05:39.160
going from my head
down into my abdominal cavity.

01:05:39.240 --> 01:05:44.520
-And I've been operated over 20 times.
-How many?

01:05:44.600 --> 01:05:49.560
I was operated on more than twenty
times before I was nine months old.

01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:53.760
And I've had surgery later as well.

01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:58.920
My last operation was in 2010.

01:05:59.040 --> 01:06:03.800
That's when I lost sensation in my legs.

01:06:14.120 --> 01:06:16.720
Is it comfortable?

01:06:20.200 --> 01:06:26.800
I'm not comfortable in my body at all.
I'm in a lot of pain.

01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:31.880
But it feels nice
when you hold your hand there.

01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:37.760
-I do feel a difference.
-Yes.

01:06:37.840 --> 01:06:41.560
It does feel different.

01:06:42.760 --> 01:06:48.080
And I hope that this change
will get better...

01:06:48.160 --> 01:06:53.200
-That it will change for the better.
-Getting better, I see.

01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:57.600
-Does it hurt here?
-It's very painful, yes.

01:06:57.680 --> 01:07:00.160
-And I...
-It hurts?

01:07:09.640 --> 01:07:15.040
I just don't know what to do,
the pain is excruciating. I can't...

01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:21.640
I didn't know what to do,
if I should start crying or if I...

01:07:21.720 --> 01:07:27.400
-If you should...?
-No, I just couldn't...

01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:33.000
-Do you want to go back in there?
-I don't know what I want to do.

01:07:33.080 --> 01:07:34.720
Come on, let's go back in.

01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:53.920
I just have these
terrible pains in my head.

01:07:54.040 --> 01:08:00.000
My head hurts so much,
if I start crying and then...

01:08:00.080 --> 01:08:05.520
-Where does it hurt? In your neck?
-No, no...

01:08:05.600 --> 01:08:08.760
It's my head. My head really hurts.

01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:11.120
And...

01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:35.320
It's not always easy to be me.

01:08:35.400 --> 01:08:40.240
I was subjected to
a lot of severe bullying in school.

01:08:41.240 --> 01:08:47.920
Physical violence.
They hit me, kicked me, spat at me.

01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:53.120
My hair would be soaking wet
when I walked home.

01:08:53.200 --> 01:08:59.760
Even... I wouldn't call it rape,
but it was of a sexual nature.

01:09:01.240 --> 01:09:06.800
Hate campaigns, nasty things in the post.
I received tape recordings telling me

01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:11.320
I don't deserve to be alive,
but who would they torture otherwise?

01:09:12.400 --> 01:09:17.800
We never reported the abuse.
It's all so murky, so horrible.

01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:22.160
And adults who daren't take
responsibility, as they didn't do anything.

01:09:22.240 --> 01:09:25.000
They turned a blind eye.

01:10:25.320 --> 01:10:28.520
Thank you. That was lovely.

01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:32.240
Thank you ever so much.
God bless you.

01:10:33.800 --> 01:10:35.520
Thank you so much.

01:10:36.440 --> 01:10:38.480
Thank you.

01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:40.840
I wish you all the best.

01:10:42.240 --> 01:10:45.920
Hey... I did try as best I could.

01:10:46.880 --> 01:10:50.800
I really believe you did.

01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:56.080
I'm eternally grateful for this.

01:10:56.160 --> 01:10:58.040
Thank you so much.

01:10:58.120 --> 01:11:01.120
-Will you write me?
-I will.

01:11:01.200 --> 01:11:04.680
-All the best. Farewell.
-Goodbye. Thank you.

01:11:09.200 --> 01:11:13.920
Perhaps she felt sorry for me
because I was unable to help her.

01:11:14.040 --> 01:11:17.280
So she wanted to sing me a song.

01:11:17.360 --> 01:11:21.040
A song that I really like.

01:11:21.120 --> 01:11:27.720
This gives me something
that nobody else understands.

01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:16.640
I found myself in a very dark place.

01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:20.280
After I had helped a number of people,

01:12:20.360 --> 01:12:26.440
certain things were written about me
in the press, people were mocking me.

01:12:26.480 --> 01:12:28.760
I was torn between two forces.

01:12:30.320 --> 01:12:35.480
On one side was the divine,
Christianity.

01:12:36.360 --> 01:12:39.360
On the other side, nothingness.

01:12:40.360 --> 01:12:43.000
It led me to...

01:12:45.480 --> 01:12:49.560
...adopt a very bleak outlook on life.

01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:55.880
And I stood on a bridge.

01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:59.680
I was planning to kill myself.

01:13:01.320 --> 01:13:06.560
But goodness won.

01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:10.720
And I...

01:13:14.040 --> 01:13:17.080
I changed my mind.

01:13:22.200 --> 01:13:28.760
Perhaps this could be said
for a few things in life.

01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:35.400
There are two sides to every story,

01:13:35.480 --> 01:13:39.320
and then people choose
to see the dark side.

01:13:40.360 --> 01:13:45.080
But I chose the light side.
The best side.

01:13:46.480 --> 01:13:53.600
I came to realise it would be awful
if I hurt those who are close to me.

01:13:57.240 --> 01:14:04.680
There was a light that stopped me.
And then I went back home.

01:14:04.760 --> 01:14:10.840
Do you remember when I disappeared,
and you all went searching for me?

01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:13.240
I felt incredibly low then.

01:14:13.320 --> 01:14:17.320
So I haven't been a strong man.

01:14:17.400 --> 01:14:24.680
And if anyone turned against us,
and insulted you, Signe, or us both,

01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:28.720
it would make me feel very sad,
and I would wander off on my own.

01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:34.920
There were many such occasions.
If it weren't for Signe, I wouldn't be here.

01:14:35.040 --> 01:14:38.640
Because she's such a strong person.

01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:42.120
She always
welcomed me with open arms.

01:14:42.200 --> 01:14:48.680
-Even if I yelled at her...
-Yelled at me? You never did that.

01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:53.600
I wasn't the man I was supposed to be.

01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:57.760
Many people left me.
Relatives...

01:14:57.840 --> 01:15:02.880
Many people didn't like who I was.

01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:08.800
But I couldn't help it.
I was just very different to other people.

01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:40.040
In 2008 I had a fall whilst doing
construction work. I fell 3.5 metres.

01:15:40.120 --> 01:15:45.040
I hit the concrete floor
with my face and head.

01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:48.880
I had a few teeth knocked out...

01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:53.920
And my lower jaw
was displaced by a few millimetres.

01:15:54.040 --> 01:15:58.280
This arm was broken, crushed.

01:15:58.360 --> 01:16:04.800
It did result in a head injury,
but I didn't notice until two months later.

01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:10.840
I started getting hot flushes
in my head, things like that.

01:16:10.920 --> 01:16:16.040
And it has continued since then.
I was admitted to hospital last year.

01:16:16.120 --> 01:16:21.040
They treat me with shots
once every month.

01:16:21.120 --> 01:16:24.000
I'll just have to keep taking them.

01:16:24.080 --> 01:16:26.600
Unless a miracle happens.

01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:31.360
Are you working in Sarpsborg?

01:16:31.440 --> 01:16:35.320
No, I don't do much work anymore.
I'm on benefits.

01:16:35.400 --> 01:16:37.520
-Illness?
-No, an injury.

01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:40.680
-Your back?
-In my neck.

01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:47.480
-Do you struggle to lift your arms?
-No, not really.

01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:50.040
Come, sit closer.

01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:08.280
-So you don't have pains here?
-A bit, yes, in that arm.

01:17:08.360 --> 01:17:12.280
Yes, I can feel it. That muscle there.

01:17:12.360 --> 01:17:15.400
-It's not in a good state.
-No, it's not.

01:17:15.480 --> 01:17:19.840
I broke my hand in the fall too,
so I've used it incorrectly.

01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:21.800
I see.

01:17:27.040 --> 01:17:29.200
And you have a sore knee?

01:17:30.480 --> 01:17:36.000
-Not that I'm aware of.
-Has it been sore in the past? Think.

01:17:37.040 --> 01:17:41.840
-Yes, I had a football injury once.
-Yeah, that must be it.

01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:46.400
-So you played football?
-Yes.

01:17:48.440 --> 01:17:52.560
-Was it a bad kick, or did you fall?
-No, I twisted my knee.

01:17:52.640 --> 01:17:56.880
-I see, but it was that knee.
-Yes, that's correct.

01:17:57.000 --> 01:17:59.840
It's fine now, but it wasn't in the past.

01:18:01.440 --> 01:18:04.040
Is it more flexible?

01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:11.280
-Yeah...
-Do you feel more supple?

01:18:11.360 --> 01:18:14.520
Well, something's different...

01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:20.480
-Yes.
-Can you feel it? Is it better?

01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:26.120
-Yes, I couldn't bend it like this before.
-Turn your head this way.

01:18:27.120 --> 01:18:31.480
And now that way. Is it more supple?

01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:36.440
Look this way. Is it better?

01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:41.800
-Yeah...
-And now look up. Better?

01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:47.360
It's strange. These movements usually
make me feel warm, but not now.

01:18:47.440 --> 01:18:50.360
No, but there's too much fat back here!

01:18:53.440 --> 01:18:57.760
-I could never bend this wrist before.
-You couldn't bend it?

01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:01.160
No, I broke this arm, so it's been stiff.

01:19:02.200 --> 01:19:08.360
This will do you good later.
You can feel this now, huh?

01:19:14.840 --> 01:19:17.040
Now move it.

01:19:19.080 --> 01:19:25.880
It was completely stiff this morning.
And it has been for six years!

01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:31.000
Six years, are you sure?
It's been stiff?

01:19:31.080 --> 01:19:35.200
-So you couldn't do that before?
-No, I couldn't.

01:19:35.280 --> 01:19:38.000
-That's good.
-Yes.

01:19:40.240 --> 01:19:41.680
Incredible.

01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:48.920
-Can you feel the warmth?
-Yes. It goes through the shoe?

01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:54.400
Does it feel nice?

01:19:54.480 --> 01:19:57.280
Yeah. I don't understand
how it goes through the shoe.

01:19:57.360 --> 01:20:01.840
I don't understand it myself.
Feel me. I'm cold.

01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:07.200
But let's not speculate about that.
It's a gift, an ability.

01:20:07.280 --> 01:20:11.640
I don't know how it works.
But I'm not a conjurer.

01:20:12.360 --> 01:20:14.480
I don't want to be one.

01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:16.560
I just want to help people naturally.

01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:20.880
If I hadn't been a man, I would've cried.

01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:23.240
I can't feel anything...

01:20:48.040 --> 01:20:53.480
I just don't get it. I keep moving
my head, and there's no pain.

01:20:56.360 --> 01:20:58.840
How bizarre.

01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:06.080
Thousands of hours
of physical therapy and training...

01:21:06.160 --> 01:21:09.000
Can I squeeze your hand?
Am I squeezing hard?

01:21:09.080 --> 01:21:12.560
-Yes, very hard!
-Really?

01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:15.480
I couldn't do that before!

01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:23.160
This hand... This is just...

01:21:26.400 --> 01:21:29.480
I never expected this in a million years.

01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:37.760
I must honestly say that I've made jokes
about these things, I didn't believe in it.

01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:45.920
But if I had moved around this much
this morning, I would've been sweating.

01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:50.160
And I don't feel any pain in my head.
Nothing at all.

01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:57.200
-I can bend my wrist!
-No?

01:21:57.280 --> 01:21:59.600
Yes! I can.

01:22:01.480 --> 01:22:08.240
It was like I had a sort of spiritual high
or something. I've never...

01:22:09.080 --> 01:22:11.880
We can talk about it when I get home.

01:22:13.280 --> 01:22:17.880
Tell Thomas I'll knock his socks off
at the table tennis.

01:22:19.440 --> 01:22:26.480
You'd better watch out when I get home,
things might get very hot in bed...

01:22:37.480 --> 01:22:42.840
My greatest achievement
is believing in goodness.

01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:44.880
It has given me powers.

01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:50.840
If you start thinking of goodness,
then something changes in you.

01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:54.440
This is necessary
if you want to renew yourself.

01:22:54.480 --> 01:22:59.520
It's more for the good of other people,
not yourself.

01:23:01.280 --> 01:23:04.920
It doesn't have to be a "Snåsa Man".

01:23:05.040 --> 01:23:10.840
Everybody has this ability.
But nobody has the faith or willingness.

01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:16.480
I have faith and willingness to help
others. It's what gives me my powers.

01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:19.480
That's what is happening to me.

01:23:22.280 --> 01:23:26.920
You asked me once:
"Why did you come to Snåsa, Margreth?"

01:23:28.040 --> 01:23:31.800
The answer to that is:
When I was working on my last film,

01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:35.120
about children fleeing
from the atrocities of war,

01:23:35.200 --> 01:23:40.120
I met so many people
who had lost all faith.

01:23:43.280 --> 01:23:49.760
And I felt that perhaps I had to stop
documenting the suffering of others.

01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:54.720
That I no longer have
the ability to cope with it.

01:24:06.200 --> 01:24:10.240
But I don't think I can.

01:24:10.320 --> 01:24:15.320
I think I need to
go back to it and continue.

01:24:15.400 --> 01:24:21.080
It's like a spotlight.
That's what a film can do.

01:24:21.160 --> 01:24:24.920
A film can put a spotlight
on those who are in need.

01:24:25.040 --> 01:24:28.320
And if we do this enough,
in a powerful way,

01:24:28.400 --> 01:24:31.240
then people can't ignore it anymore.

01:24:31.320 --> 01:24:33.080
No.

01:24:35.200 --> 01:24:40.840
You have a task to do.
You've started doing this task.

01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:46.280
But it never ends. What will you
do next, when this film is finished?

01:24:46.360 --> 01:24:51.640
You'll be asking yourself this.
"What will I do after this film?"

01:24:51.720 --> 01:24:55.440
That's when you need to keep moving.

01:24:55.480 --> 01:25:03.000
And that's when you must
find strength to keep on working.

01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:09.760
It will come to you, from within.

01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:13.080
You'll never be free from film making.

01:25:13.160 --> 01:25:20.280
And you'll never be free from
talking about people's suffering.

01:25:20.360 --> 01:25:24.080
This is a major task you're facing.

01:25:24.160 --> 01:25:29.160
Are you okay?
You can stand here by the car.

01:25:29.240 --> 01:25:33.120
You just wait here,
and I'll go light it up.

01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:39.720
Hurry up, I can't stand
on my own for very long.

01:25:44.040 --> 01:25:45.880
Come here.

01:25:50.120 --> 01:25:56.440
It's good for you to be here.
You know, so you can see them burn.

01:26:17.440 --> 01:26:23.400
That's a lot of joy and sorrow.
You've helped a lot of people.

01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:30.480
What goes up in smoke now,
you're taking with you.

01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:32.840
Nobody else knows about it.

01:26:36.440 --> 01:26:40.000
None of this will be
revealed to the public.

01:26:40.080 --> 01:26:44.440
But the warmth we're feeling
is coming from the public, of course.

01:26:44.480 --> 01:26:47.120
Are you sure you didn't
burn any love letters as well?

01:26:47.200 --> 01:26:49.600
Oh, I did. Lots!

01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:54.760
I've suffered from anxiety for 28 years.
All this time I've not lived, just existed.

01:26:54.840 --> 01:26:58.440
I had a head injury
after I fell whilst roller skiing.

01:26:58.480 --> 01:27:00.880
My wife is dead. Can you help me?

01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:07.040
I couldn't deal with anything nice.
I couldn't even be around my kids.

01:27:07.120 --> 01:27:09.520
There are no medicines
for what I have.

01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:12.680
It's congenital, but it started
when I was around 17 years old.

01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:17.600
For many years I've eaten very little,
and I'm very skinny.

01:27:17.680 --> 01:27:21.280
I had an older brother who died in 1994.

01:27:21.360 --> 01:27:24.000
I saved him from overdoses many times.

01:27:24.080 --> 01:27:29.680
I had to take care of him
and stay at home to keep him alive.

01:27:40.280 --> 01:27:41.920
Well...

01:27:44.440 --> 01:27:48.200
This will all be over soon.

01:27:49.280 --> 01:27:53.680
Flames of unburnt happiness.

01:28:18.480 --> 01:28:20.760
But tell me something:

01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:26.520
How come you've chosen to dedicate
so much of your life to helping others?

01:28:29.400 --> 01:28:36.840
You know, someone who
takes part in a... What do you call it...

01:28:36.920 --> 01:28:41.000
The running thing... A marathon!

01:28:41.080 --> 01:28:46.080
He has to keep running
if he's to make it to the finishing line.

01:28:46.160 --> 01:28:52.520
I had to use my ability to help others.

01:28:52.600 --> 01:28:55.200
Otherwise I wouldn't
make it to the finishing line.

01:28:59.000 --> 01:29:03.000
And we can see the beauty.
But the most beautiful...

01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:07.280
Hello?

01:29:08.280 --> 01:29:10.080
Hey.

01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:13.480
No?

01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:20.560
No! No, where...

01:29:24.520 --> 01:29:29.440
Oh, no! Okay, I'll be right there.

01:29:33.040 --> 01:29:34.600
Oh, God...

01:29:53.600 --> 01:29:56.160
Joralf, are you there?

01:29:56.240 --> 01:29:58.040
Yes.

01:29:59.480 --> 01:30:03.120
Roy had a stroke.
Can you help us?

01:30:04.560 --> 01:30:06.480
I'll have to try.

01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:10.280
I don't know what you do, Joralf,

01:30:10.360 --> 01:30:14.520
but that thing you do, can you try
and do it for my boyfriend now?

01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:16.840
I'll certainly try.

01:30:17.320 --> 01:30:22.760
-What do the doctors say?
-They say he might die.

01:30:23.680 --> 01:30:30.240
The doctors can do a lot,
with brain function, and...

01:30:31.920 --> 01:30:34.800
They'll do all they can.

01:30:39.320 --> 01:30:42.040
Don't lose faith in yourself, Margreth.

01:30:44.320 --> 01:30:48.720
Of course it's tough,
but you have to look to the future.

01:30:49.480 --> 01:30:51.800
What do you reckon
I can do for him now?

01:30:53.280 --> 01:30:57.680
Be there for him and give him comfort.
And hope.

01:30:59.040 --> 01:31:04.080
I really hope he'll regain all functions.

01:31:58.280 --> 01:32:00.800
I think he'll make it.

01:32:01.800 --> 01:32:08.040
If he's able to look to the future himself,
and if he keeps the faith,

01:32:08.120 --> 01:32:11.160
that makes the world of a difference.

01:32:43.480 --> 01:32:50.720
Nobody goes through life without
experiencing pain, that's for sure.

01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:56.120
But nobody mentions goodness.
Goodness is greater.

01:32:56.200 --> 01:32:59.480
But people only see evil.

01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:05.920
Goodness rules supreme.
Goodness is victorious.

01:33:07.360 --> 01:33:11.880
It brings people back to
what they were meant to be,

01:33:12.000 --> 01:33:13.920
faithful to goodness.

01:33:14.040 --> 01:33:17.600
Faithful to their fellow man.

01:33:17.680 --> 01:33:20.840
Faithful to themselves.

01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:24.000
That's the real greatness in life.

01:33:24.080 --> 01:33:30.880
Finding the power which
creates natural goodness for all.

01:33:33.800 --> 01:33:39.640
When I left Snåsa, I felt really well.
This lasted for two months.

01:33:39.720 --> 01:33:44.800
I went back to school. But after two
months things went downhill again.

01:33:44.880 --> 01:33:51.160
I started feeling aches and pains
in my joints, bones and muscles.

01:33:52.360 --> 01:33:59.160
I still have the same two ailments,
but breathing is a lot easier now.

01:33:59.240 --> 01:34:04.000
I struggled to breath for over a year,
it was like breathing through a straw.

01:34:04.080 --> 01:34:06.680
But about a week after seeing Joralf,

01:34:06.760 --> 01:34:13.000
it was as if my breathing just opened up.
And I could breathe normally again.

01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:21.000
I used to feel so worthless,
but now I feel like I'm worth something.

01:34:21.080 --> 01:34:25.440
If you feel that you're worth something,
you don't have a great sense of unease.

01:34:25.480 --> 01:34:29.480
I felt he saw into my soul
and told me I was good enough.

01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:34.440
He did tell me under no uncertain terms
that my ailments

01:34:34.480 --> 01:34:39.480
are of such a nature that I need surgery,
which he couldn't do for me.

01:34:39.520 --> 01:34:43.040
For me, the changes
have been psychological.

01:34:43.120 --> 01:34:48.240
The toughest days are a little easier
to deal with, because of what he said.

01:34:49.040 --> 01:34:54.480
My hands can be completely at rest,
and all the twitching is gone.

01:34:55.200 --> 01:34:59.840
Mira hasn't been in need
of any more treatment.

01:35:01.080 --> 01:35:05.840
My life has changed completely.
I'm practically well again.

01:35:05.920 --> 01:35:11.840
There were medicines prescribed by
the doctor which affected my bowels.

01:35:11.920 --> 01:35:15.320
I've not used
any of those medicines since.

01:35:16.360 --> 01:35:21.240
I'm going through a rough time now.
Six months after filming,

01:35:21.320 --> 01:35:24.680
the cancer spread again
in the same vertebra.

01:35:24.760 --> 01:35:30.520
So I've been through radiation treatment
and I'm currently getting chemo therapy.

01:35:30.600 --> 01:35:35.880
I didn't go to Snåsa
thinking that Joralf could cure me,

01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:40.280
but rather hoping
he could give me something good.

01:35:41.440 --> 01:35:46.600
The amount of pain I feel
hasn't really changed much.

01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:49.080
It might actually be worse.

01:35:49.160 --> 01:35:55.520
But when I feel his warm hand
on my shoulder, it feels like

01:35:55.600 --> 01:36:01.680
it helps me on those mornings when
I wake up and can't take it anymore.

01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:04.360
I have a lot of mornings like that.
But I think to myself,

01:36:04.440 --> 01:36:10.480
when I feel his warm hand
on my shoulder, that it'll do.

01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:18.120
It's quite remarkable, my hand.
I didn't have any strength in it.

01:36:18.200 --> 01:36:21.000
I never thought
I'd be able to play table tennis,

01:36:21.080 --> 01:36:24.120
but I managed to do
a spin serve and everything now.

01:36:24.200 --> 01:36:30.920
My head hasn't hurt nearly as much.
I used to get shots to relieve the pain,

01:36:31.040 --> 01:36:35.320
but I no longer take those.
And I think that's thanks to Joralf.

01:36:40.640 --> 01:36:44.480
Roy, what are your thoughts
on the future now?

01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:52.160
I'm thinking that I may have to
put up with a lot of pain for half a year,

01:36:52.240 --> 01:36:56.320
and then I might
look forward to 40 happy years.

01:36:56.400 --> 01:37:01.400
I have to become as independent
as possible, be able to walk...

01:37:01.480 --> 01:37:04.120
And be able to take care of myself.

01:37:05.400 --> 01:37:09.480
It is safe to say
that you've been lucky.

01:37:09.520 --> 01:37:12.040
But you must never give up.

01:37:26.880 --> 01:37:30.880
