1
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:09,360
This is Kirsten Lundsgaardvig, a
Danish women now a naturalized Norwegian, -

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,680
- just as colorful a duck
as the art she creates.

3
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,040
She lives by herself
in an old, registered house, -

4
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,560
- the former guard residence for
the defunct Setesdalsbanen railroad.

5
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:51,360
Where no one would believe
that someone could be

6
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:58,000
We are in Homevassevje in West Agder county,
on the border to East Agder county.

7
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,960
Shall the queen of the ball
sit at the table?

8
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Kirsten Lundsgaardvig, some words
about yourself first. Who are you?

9
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:32,480
You can certainly ask.
I am very special.

10
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,480
I am an artist, trained at the
Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen.

11
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,720
You are also an internationally
acclaimed artist.

12
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,560
We will come back to that.

13
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,560
How did you end up
a Danish artist in Norway?

14
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,920
That's also very special.

15
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:04,280
In 1966 I was invited
to the Skien Art Association.

16
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:10,440
There came a wonderful
journalist named Thor Thorsen, -

17
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,120
- a journalist in Telemark Arbeiderblad
The SA had just started up.

18
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,480
He was the great love of my life.

19
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,640
And out of that adorable relationship
came our love child Nastasja.

20
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:33,240
When Nastasja was three years old, I thought
that she should go to her dad's land.

21
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,680
She was a natural child and lived in
the country along with her daughter, -

22
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,160
- until she moved out to
to take care of her education.

23
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,760
When it was time to find
her own little dream house.

24
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:57,080
Then I began to look for myself
for a place with solitude.

25
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,360
And this house was for sale.

26
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,920
-What kind of house is it?
-It's an old guard house.

27
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,320
But the house was moved
from the Kile valley.

28
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,120
There is was a farmhouse
in the Swiss style.

29
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Then it was moved down here
when the railroad was built ...

30
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,040
... when Setesdalsbanen
was built in 1889.

31
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,960
First it was a worker housing,
and the guards lived here for many years.

32
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,080
But then it became my house,
and I love it.

33
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Here are the mostly ancient things, -

34
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:52,120
- except for a hot tub
in the middle of the kitchen.

35
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,040
The tub fills half of my life.

36
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,280
In the beginning
I had a shower.

37
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:08,280
So when I had dinner guests,
they sat and stared into it.

38
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,160
Is it often used?
-Three times a day.

39
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,240
-Cleanliness is good.
-Does much dance out on the floor?

40
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,160
I splash more than a little.

41
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:30,480
You have neither a bathroom,
nor a watercloset, but an ...

42
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,280
-... outhouse!
-You are not stuffy.

43
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,320
I've never been.
But the house is under preservation.

44
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,160
I'm not allowed to do anything.
Not that I would dream of it.

45
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:49,720
I love everything that is old.

46
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,240
Now we are in the best room.
Here is the traditional spirit.

47
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,240
A poster-bed t.o.m.
-It came from Telemark.

48
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,600
It can be extended,
so two can be in it.

49
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Have you bought all these things?

50
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:47,000
I had an uncle who was an
auctioneer in Skien in Telemark.

51
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,560
I was so in love with all the old,
so I looked him deep in his eyes and said:

52
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,680
"Oh, Uncle Marthinius,
that poster bed, that table ...!"

53
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240
He said: "Yes, yes, Kirsten. Just go."

54
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,240
The only thing I have bought,
this table.

55
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,720
You also have many small antiques:
Iron ...

56
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:17,880
-What are the things on the stone back there?
-An egg boiler.

57
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
They must have put spirits in it.
It was good enough to boil eggs.

58
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,360
-Are you using it?    - Yes.
-Every single morning.  - No!

59
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,000
But they used it in the old days.

60
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,840
-The bowl behind you, then?
-That's an old spit bucket.

61
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,560
It stood in the grocery store
my grandparents had.

62
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,760
The people spat in it.

63
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,280
-Do you use it too?
-Just as it is.

64
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,560
It is very funny.
I'm very fond of it.

65
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,440
Here you stay completely alone -

66
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,120
- far from people, in an old house
full of stories.

67
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,600
-Isn't it scary?
-Never.

68
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Had I been afraid,
I wouldn't have been able to stay here.

69
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Here in the house, some ghosts.
A joke.

70
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:30,800
The house was first worker barracks.
And the workers cleaned it up again.

71
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:37,080
-Have you seen them?
-No, but I hear them.

72
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:44,520
They speak out of the windows,
and there are strange things in the house.

73
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Doors that open and close.
They go up the stairs to the studio.

74
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,520
I could write a book about everything
that's strange here, but I love them.

75
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,160
I'm never alone,
and they suit me well.

76
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:07,240
It is beautiful to live here
alone with 13 workers.

77
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:19,200
In this room
lived my old mother for 5 years.

78
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:26,560
There stood her four-poster bed.
She died at age 99.

79
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,040
On the wall, I have two photographs
and a painting that -

80
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,520
- a Danish colleague, Birthe
Ohsten, has painted of my mother.

81
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:41,960
She is so like ...

82
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,400
We must not forget that we stand
next to another artist, too.

83
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:55,400
-I assume you have a studio.
-Then I think we should go up and see.

84
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,280
Watch your head on the beam.

85
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,000
-I thought it was a high ceiling.
-Yes, but not exactly there.

86
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,280
-Here are the colors!
-You visit a colorful artist.

87
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,960
You got that right.
Is that the sun and moon - the universe?

88
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:24,560
It is the universe. I am
completely gripped by it.

89
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,200
Do you have periods of
one subject and then another?

90
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,200
I have had many weird periods,
but at the moment it's the universe.

91
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,320
-I have painted flowers and chickens.
-Grouse?

92
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,240
I had a wild fowls period.
Then I ate chicken for years and years.

93
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:54,640
I sat in a poultry farm for 14 days
and painted chickens. Many years ago.

94
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:01,760
Even then, it was clear, and I
knew that I would become an artist.

95
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:08,040
I have a special technique.
I meditate on the canvas's layer upon layer -

96
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,520
- until I have the desired structure,
and then I paint the subject.

97
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:39,640
-Is that the madonna with child?
-Yes, it's the Virgin Mary.

98
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,080
So in all your color splendor
are you a religious person?

99
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:51,680
More or less.
I am a Catholic.

100
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,480
The Virgin Mary
means a lot to me.

101
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:04,960
-You go to confession too?
-Yes, I do just as it is.

102
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,960
And it is a good thing.
One need not have sinned.

103
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,640
It means a lot to have
nice conversations with the Father.

104
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Many years ago
I had eyelid lift surgery.

105
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:31,600
After I had the stitches taken out,
I had booked a time to confess.

106
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,560
I forgot that I looked gruesome out,
blue and green ...

107
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:43,680
When I came to the church,
the clerk was so horrified -

108
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:50,200
- that he called the priest, and before I
took a breath, he took my confession.

109
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,320
It shocked me,
the urgency of it.

110
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,960
And the strange thing was
I was given last rites.

111
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,480
When I came out, I thought:
I have received the last rites!

112
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,400
I was in complete turmoil.

113
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,600
He thought you were near death
due to a facelift ...

114
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,120
No, the eyelids. I was yellow
and blue and green and did not look good.

115
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,600
But I had forgotten
when I had the stitches out.

116
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Lifting eyelids ...
Are you vain?

117
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:42,160
One must take care of ones self.
It must be done.

118
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:51,160
But shouldn't you
find a more southern house of worship?

119
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,960
It would never occur to me.
I go where my legs take me.

120
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:05,480
Those who go to the chapel houses ...
It is pure fanaticism.

121
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,640
They dare not live your life,
the life to be lived.

122
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,680
They are afraid of the unknown
and judgmental ...

123
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,680
No, in a chapel is not for me.

124
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:37,040
How was it to get here
as an artist and gain acceptance?

125
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:43,640
It was hell on earth.
Totally fearful.

126
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:50,040
I have never experienced anything like
the envy here in Norway.

127
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,880
There is envy in all countries -

128
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,360
- but in Norway it is
extreme in art circles.

129
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:11,120
She is certainly well received by
pupils at a school in the neighborhood.

130
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,720
For Kirsten
she is a nice, little girl,

131
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:21,400
and it is so nice to have you here.

132
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Sometimes Kirsten teaches art
in schools and other institutions.

133
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:35,280
When you begin to paint,
it is important to clean the brushes -

134
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,000
- every time you change color, -

135
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,520
- so you have clean and clear colors.

136
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,640
Yes, the worst thing I know
is murky colors.

137
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Then blend here ...

138
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,200
Vennesla commune have
invited her to a character class.

139
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,360
The past 10-12 years she has visited
each school a couple of times a year.

140
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,080
In addition, she provides education to
people with mental illnesses.

141
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,640
That's what I like best.

142
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,600
In particular, the schizophrenics.
They are incredibly close to my heart.

143
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:38,000
Is painting a form of therapy, then?
-Yes. Very much so...

144
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,280
The schizophrenics have their fantasies
which are not true. So yes.

145
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,840
Our lush lady has her
own fan club, called "Kirstens Friends".

146
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,280
A couple of nights a year they come to
her home to look at art -

147
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,840
- and to have a pleasant evening
along with the artist.

148
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Jan M. Wesenberg
I saw Kirsten's paintings 25 years
ago in the station at Hægeland.

149
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,520
I noticed the exuberant
colors, flowers, angels, -

150
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,880
- Setesdalsbanen and a bit of everything.
That such a bubbly lady -

151
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,400
- also thrives in solitude here,
shows her strong will.

152
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:41,200
-Place her as an artist.
-She has a rare originality.

153
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,880
In Norway you find nothing else like
Kirsten Lundsgaardvigs work.

154
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,560
They are so special
that they have a huge intrinsic value.

155
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:56,160
Some are with Kirstens Friends, who
each have one or several pictures by her.

156
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,880
The members are a support group,
and it has often come in handy, -

157
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,120
- especially when she was new
and struggled to gain access.

158
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Solveig Nordvist:
She has struggled plenty to be
accepted in the art world.

159
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,400
It is difficult to get
into an established arts scene.

160
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,920
She is a wonderful lady.
She includes everyone.

161
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,120
It can also
be daunting for some.

162
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,680
She flourishes outdoors, and the
most colorful duck flowers, -

163
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:40,880
- Kirsten herself, painting in her garden
in her summer attire - Eve's costume.

164
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,480
This is Kirsten in the Garden of Eden.
You are not shy ...

165
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:57,800
Shy, I have never been,
and that I will never be.

166
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,240
In my youth I was a model for the
Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen.

167
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:10,040
-This seems to me quite natural.
-What does the madonna make of this?

168
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,640
-She is thrilled.
-You're sure?

169
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,380
-The priest also?
-Very excited.

170
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,920
-Has he seen you?
-Yes, but I looked a little different.

171
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:31,600
Roses on the boots ...
Why boots?

172
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,440
I am using boots every summer
and all summer through.

173
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:45,360
For I am terrified of snakes.
And this year it is actually ...

174
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,680
-It is the serpent in paradise ...
-Yes, there are many snakes.

175
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,600
And this year it is really a snakefest.

176
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,440
You're used to standing in your garden
and painting dressed like Eve?

177
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,000
-Yes. That's what I love.
-Why is that?

178
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:12,120
Then I am in contact with nature.
That's what I do whenever the weather allows.

179
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:18,560
-But when there are people?
-That has happened.

180
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,920
Years ago when I painted here
in only the rubber boots ...

181
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,280
Suddenly I felt that was
someone was nearby. I looked up, -

182
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,920
- and there stood a man
from the Vennesla commune.

183
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,040
He only said "hi",
so I said "hi" and I thought:

184
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,440
"How can I get to my
painting frock?"

185
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:52,800
But I let on like it wasn't me
and went in and got my paint coat.

186
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:59,360
After that episode I
call him every summer and say:

187
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:05,000
"Now the rubber boots have come."

188
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,080
It is beautiful here,
but it is so heavenly beautiful?

189
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,760
My garden is heavenly beautiful,
but the sign is very funny.

190
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:02,000
It refers to the end of the garden,
where there is a drop down, so ...

191
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,840
So if you fall off,
Heaven is next?

192
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,960
That's the point?
You sure have a sense of humor.

193
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Without humor, I could not live.

194
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:23,120
-Do you have a sense of nature as well?
-I love nature.

195
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,640
It means everything to me.

196
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:33,360
And the nature around Homevassevje
inspires me greatly in my work.

197
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,200
-Take us on a tour.
-Certainly.

198
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:45,240
I suggest that we go down the
old route of the Setesdalsbanen.

199
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,680
This is Otra flowing down here.
The river is regulated.

200
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:15,480
But when the water flows as in times past,
there is first one then another idyll.

201
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,600
Kirsten often takes grandchildren
with her, Trine and Jonas, -

202
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,640
- to the bathing place
on the banks of the Otra.

203
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Now lets talk about summer memories
from when the children were young.

204
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,200
You were just two years
and loved to go on walks.

205
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,880
I made lunch for you and your friend "Sapp".
You couldn't say "f".

206
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:51,680
We walked around and sat
in front of the house. Then you said:

207
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,360
"Granny, we are on tour now?"

208
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,080
Occasionally some good friends
visit her, for -

209
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:19,080
- coffee on the terrace. When there,
Trine and Jonas do kitchen service.

210
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,920
She takes care of her guests,
prominent guests too, including:

211
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:30,280
A doctor, a policeman
and a director.

212
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,320
She has a sense
for fine men with good titles.

213
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,320
I love being with the upper class.

214
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:45,240
-The proletariat, then?
-There is nothing for me.

215
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:49,400
No, there has never been.

216
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:56,360
What is it about her that makes
you find joy in her company?

217
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:03,480
Egil Lie:
I am a hunter, and I find so many things.
There is one reason.

218
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:11,040
We have done research: it's rumored
that you're good to kiss.

219
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,720
Eivind Mår Hannås:
Have you done research
throughout the South?

220
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,320
Is there a need to?

221
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:28,880
Kirsten has regular visitors. Now
Johan Christian Sandvand arrives.

222
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,080
He is a writer and poet, and
Kirsten has illustrated poems by him.

223
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Run barefoot in the clover, knowing
meadow flowers that tickle your toes,

224
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:48,640
sleep naked in a flowery meadow,
feel the wind rising that swallows the hills,

225
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:54,960
digging worms behind the barn wall,
see violets as springs,

226
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:01,560
pick smell from the white wild cherry
- it was the joy of a little boy.

227
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Such moments are sweet memories
a leisurely day in a small hamlet.

228
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:14,240
If I'm looking, I think I'll almost
find that moment again.

229
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:19,600
Johan Christian,
that poem is so beautiful.

230
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,840
They are simple poems
which have much of nature.

231
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,640
I knew of Kirsten's templates with
bright colors and many colors -

232
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,800
- and lots of nature. So we felt -

233
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:45,600
- that it went well with my form.

234
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Now your partnership has lasted
one or two years.

235
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,760
So the visual artist sets a
good price for the poet and poetry?

236
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:06,520
I love his poems,
and they are so inspiring.

237
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:12,960
Do you remember when I was
painting the picture of twilight?

238
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:19,400
Then you said: "Kirsten, you might
be unable. It will be difficult. "

239
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,880
It would be a dark image,
but I did it.

240
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,760
I got a great light into it.

241
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,760
At the burial mounds hill people dance
a slow waltz with our senses,

242
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:40,360
while the deep boom rolls warning
over the fire black sky.

243
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:46,240
In the forest deep breathing heavily
twilight of beliefs

244
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:53,280
when the moon
lit ghostly in the juniper bushes,
and the haze is a legend of the water.

245
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,800
We have come to know that you're
an outgoing and bubbly lady.

246
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:18,440
At the same time you live here alone.
Isn't that a contradiction?

247
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:24,000
Not at all,
for I am and will be a hermit.

248
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:29,640
In order to paint my pictures
I must live in total solitude.

249
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:36,840
I can be social, but
basically I am not very social.

250
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:46,000
You are young and rich and colorful, but
years say that you have lived for a while.

251
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:51,960
What about the unknown future?

252
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,240
I want that,
for I am an optimist.

253
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:03,880
The day I leave this world,
I hope they carry me from here.

254
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,920
Because I want to be here
until I can't manage anymore.

255
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,280
If it is head first
or feet - it will be feet.

256
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,320
But I want to be here
until I leave this world.

257
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,290
