Drehbuch  

45) Int. Halmstad - Runa's home - night

Runa runs to her laptop.

Runa

Inari... Inari...

While the laptop is booting she nervously drums her fingers on the keyboard.

Runa

Come on, come on!

Runa opens her browser program... and types in the web address 'www.map24.se'.

After the page finished loading she types in the route: 'Halmstad' / 'Inari'. The way and the time needed are being displayed.

Runa

1973 km... 30 hours by car?

Runa looks at the clock. It is 4:20.

She types: 'Gällivare' / 'Inari'.

Runa

600 km, 10 hours... So he'll be there tonight sure enough...

Damn it. Damn it. What shall I do?

Resignedly she buries her face in her hands.

Camera: Runa, Laptop screen not visible

Then she has an idea. She opens an Internet search engine and types in something.

After reading, clicking and reading again for a short time she reaches out for her phone and dials a number.

KRISTINA CARLSSON from a travel agency answers.

Kristina

Swedish Tourists International Bookings. My name is Kristina Carlsson. How may I help you?

Runa

Hello, my name is Runa Eskleth. I need a flight from Halmstad to Inari in Northern Finland.

Kristina

One moment, please.

Runa can hear her typing.

Kristina

When would you like to fly to Ivalo?

Runa

Inari, not Ivalo.

Kristina

Hmm. I only have Ivalo listed in my system. Please hold the line.

Runa is on hold. Wait loop music is being played.

Runa

Hello?!

Pause. Runa gets more and more impatient.

Then Kristina is back.

Kristina

Mrs. Eskleth?

Runa

Yes?

Kristina

Ivalo is situated within the administrative district of Inari. The village of Inari itself is about 50 km further north.

Runa

O... Okay. I need the next flight!

Kristina

One moment please.

(pause)

You are calling just too late for the 6 o'clock flight...

(pause)

The next bookable flight goes at 6:50 from Halmstad. You would be in Ivalo at 18:40.

Runa

So late?

Kristina

Runa

Kristina types again.

Kristina

KRISTINA

Runa

4-4-3-7.

Kristina

(types)

Last Check-In is one hour before take-off. Your tickets will be ready at the Skyways counter in Halmstad. Thank you very much for your booking.

Runa

Good bye.

Runa hangs up the phone and runs into her sleeping room.

Being there she starts throwing things into a bag. In between she grabs her cell phone.

It takes a while until someone answers.

Runa

Anna? Can you take my sister for a while again?

(pause)

Yes! Right now! No, it's an emergency. I'll bring her round straight away. Thanks.

Runa hangs up.

Runa

Oh my god, what am I doing?

Fade out
