Lovis gets Thunderstorms child! Ha, ha, ha!
-Tonight he will have a child! -A stormy child.
Small and ugly, small and ugly...
The hunger gnaws at his stomach.
And it is cold in his house
He lusts for ...
-Is this a good time to be singing, Lovis? -It makes it easier.
And I think it makes for a happier baby.
Wolf, Wolf, do not come here
You will never get my child
Frighten off the 'grymvittror' or I can't hear myself singing!
Fly away, 'vildvittror'! Tonight I am having a child!
Because otherwise I do not ... ah!
Do you understand, you pests?!
We are having a child tonight!
Leave us now alone! Mischievous monsters!
We are having a child tonight!
-Isn't the child coming soon?
-Patience, Skalle-Per.
This child will eventually be our next robber-chief.
Can you comprehend that, you simpletons?
It will be strange
with a small child in the castle..
And with Mattis as a father. Poor little thing.
You needs it, kid.
Properly Labbas, creating the rascal away.
Mattis is the most powerful robber-chief in all the mountains and forests.
-Who could ask for a better father?
-Is he not like a father to us all?
Even to you, Lillklippen, despite the fact that you're only a common robber..
But he is crazy enough, our Mattis.
I have a child.
Did you hear me? I have a child!
-What kind? -A robber-daughter!
Here you go
If you want to see the most beautiful child ever to be born in a robber-castle.
How beautiful she is.
-Such a small one. -Look how cute she is.
And she is still so tiny.
-She looks like her father. -Don't be mean, Sturkas.
-What will she be named?
Ronja. As I have long have decided.
And if it had now become a boy?
-If I have decided that it will be a Ronja...
... then it will be a Ronja.
You already hold my robber-heart in the palm of your small hands.
-You don't understand that, but you do.
-Can I hold her?.
Here is your robber-chief. Just don't drop her whatever you do!.
There doesn't seem to be any substance to her..
What were you expecting? A robber-chief with a beer gut and a beard?
-Nooo... -Careful, Labbas.
Now there will be two of you who can't talk, Labbas.
This will kill Borka.
Now he can sit there and grit his teeth in envy.
The Mattis-line lives on, while the Borka line peters out.
-A child is more than he can muster.
-He probably doesn't know what to do!
Mattis-castle has been ripped in two!
The castle of my fathers!
Your life gets a suspicious beginning, Ronja.
Ronja, this castle will be a good place to grow up even so.
Don't you think?
Did you hear that? She answered me! She can talk already!
Mattis is a fool. Are you full now?
Are you full now?
-There we go.
-It is good of you to help your mother, Ronja.
What about you, little Mattis. You could lend a hand too.
Lovis, we can't keep this child home any longer
We must let her run free so she can learn to live in the Mattis-forest.
So you have finally grasped that. I wanted to let her run free ages ago
-It is dangerous. We only have one child.
-She will have to learn to deal with danger.
Yes, that' more like it.
Bring me some danger!
It's about time!
Tomorrow I'm coming!
Come on!
Come on, one day soon.
Go now.
Make sure to watch out for vildvittror, grey dwarves and Borka-robbers.
How will I know which one is which?
-You'll know soon enough. -Ok then.
-Watch out so you don't get lost.
-What do I do if I get lost?
Find the right path and find your way home.
That's fine.
Watch out so you don't fall in the river.
And what I do if I fall into the river?
-Then just swim. -That's fine.
And watch out for the Hellmouth.
-What do I do if I fall in the Hellmouth?
-Then you don't do much of anything anymore!
I better make sure not to fall in the Hellmouth then. Anything else?
Lots. But you'll learn all that eventually. Go now.
And don't yell in the 'Wolfpass' or you will cause rocks to fall!
Let's see if we have any luck today.
You stay here and protect Lovis, Skalle-Per.
-You do that.
-Protect Lovis?
In case some criminal should happen by..
If anyone attacks Lovis...
- well, then it's probably best if I protect the criminal.
To imagine such water exists.
Guards! Guards!
Noble lady.
Down!
Thank you fair maid, for your kindness to poor robbers.
It was worth it. Go back home!
To the hell with you! you will pay you, you dogs!
What?
What?! What are you doing here, bastards?!
Keep to your own forest!
We ride where we want.
You look pale
- The King's guard must have scared the shit out of you!
Shut up, Mattis! So you don't get hurt.
-I'll show you who'll get hurt.
You've got the nose right in the face.
Get out you bastard!
-Watch out! Hes got the goods. -Lice-poodles!
Stop, and let me examine your heart-blood!
What do you want?!
No, go away! Leave me alone!
No, don't come here!
Don't touch me! Let go of me, let go of me!
Get out!
-Damn Grey-dwarves! -Mattis..
Go to hell, before I kill you all!
Ronja.
Mattis.
Ronja, now you know what Grey-dwarves are.
-Now you know what Grey-Dwarves are.
-But not how to deal with them.
They are only dangerous when you're afraid of them.
To some extent that is true of everything, so it is best not to be afraid.
Knotas, I'll give you a bit extra, you're all skin and bones.
Nudging but not so darned again!
I heard you met Borka.
Yes, if he wasn't such a bastard. I would almost feel sorry for him.
The King's guard hunt him high and low in the Borka-forest.
Thank the heavens for the Mattis-castle. At least we're safe here...
Like the fox in its den And the eagle in its nes.
Isn't that what you usually say, Mattis.
My heart pride and joy, where are you going?
I'm going to watch out for falling in the river.
-Where are you doing that?
-By the river, if it is to be of any use.
My, my aren't you wet.
Now I've watched out for everything except falling in the 'Hellmouth'.
And I'm going to watch out for that just as soon as I'm dry.
You're such a wise and obedient child.
I know who you are.
You're that robbers-daughter that runs wild in the forest.
-And who are you?
-Birk son of Borka - I live here. We moved in last night.
Who are we?
Borka, Undis and me. And our twelve robbers..
-Is the north-castle full of bastards?!
-No, you'll only find honest Borka-robbers here.
But over there where you live it's wall to wall with bastards.
-That's what I've been told.
-Just wait until Mattis finds out.
He'll have the Borka-robbers out of the north-castle before you can blink.
-That's what you think...
-Borka-vermin...Go to Hell!
Come over here and I'll break your nose.
Follow that, if you can
You're not so hopeless after all.
-Hold on! -There isn't much else to do, is there?
Here you go! Start climbing when I holler.
Go ahead!
-Well, well, so this is where you're laying.
-Go away! Give me my strap!
I might be tied to you even without it now.
-No you're not. Leave!
Do not do it again!
But it was kind of you to save my life.
-I will see you again some time.
-I hope you fall, you bastard.
You would deserve as much!
Never! No!
You're lying, Ronja! Borka doesn't have a son!
-Yes, he does!
-I've also heard people say as much.
Undis had a child out of the blue that night with the terrible thunderstorms.
When we get Ronja.
Why no one has told me that?
What else haven't you told me?!
Here you go...
...if you must waste God's gifts.
But make sure to clean up after yourself.
Safe as the fox in its den
And the eagle on the mountain top...!
-It's as I thought!
-Enough!
If you've got fleas, then deal with them. Dont just stomp around here.
This probably just got more tender.
Some dirt cleans out the bowels. Eat now, Mattis.
Dont be sad. All you have to do is throw them out.
-That might be easier said than done.
-These sons of a ... -But how did they get in there?!
You lazy bastards!
Have you not been guarding the Wolfpass night and day!
Did you think they would come that way, walk up to you and politely say:
"We're moving into Mattis-castle."
-So, which way did they come?
-From the North of course.
Go!
Stay there!
-You devilish thieves consort!
-I thought you were thirsty, Mattis.
What kind of mouse of a husband do you have that can't even control his own wife?
Come out if you dare, Borka!
Can't even have some fun around here.
You mongrel thief!
There's been enough fun around here!
Listen to some Mattis, I ...
Don't you eat swills like all other swine?!
Shut up, woman!
I cant live in the Borka-forest any more.
The King's guards are as thick as flies there.
A man who moves into someone else house without even asking has no honour!
Damn robber!
When did you ever ask permission for everything you have taken?!
What does he mean?
What?
Mattis hasn't taken anything illegally, has he...?!
Ermh...maybe...
Cat got your tongue, Mattis?!
That shut him up!
Yes, yes ...
-What do you want, robbers-daughter?
-That's none of your business.
-What do you want, robbers-daughter?
-Leave my pheasants and my forest alone.
Your pheasants, your forest...?!
The pheasants are their own and live in the pheasants forest
It is also the fox's,
... and the forest of the owl's,
... and the forest of the adder's
... and the forest of wild dove's and the hawk's,
... and the cuckoo's,
... and the grey-dwarves', the trolls',
... the 'rumpnissarna's and 'vittrorna's forest.
... and the forest of snails,
... and spiders and ants,
... and the forest of deer and bears,
... the wild horses and elk,
... and also the wolves.
-I know all the life in this forest.
-There forest is also yours and mine.
But if you want to claim it all for yourself,
then you are even stupider than I thought.
You're mean.
I dont mind sharing the forest with pheasants, owls and spiders.
But I mind sharing it with you
Ronja!
Ronja stop!
Ronja!
-Ronja. -What do you want?
Ronja, this fog is scaring me.
Are you afraid you won't find you way home?
Then you'll have to live here with the pheasants.
You have a heart of stone, robbers-daughter, but you know the way better than me.
Let go of me!
Here, but keep a rope length between us.
As you wish, robbers-daughter.
Stay where you are Ronja! Stop there!
It is the call of the underworld!
Yes, I am coming...
Ronja! Stop!
Ronja, stop!
-Yes, I am coming...
Ronja!
I am coming.
No Ronja!
If you let the underworld lure you down...
Then you are lost!
Let go of me.
-DO you want to live in the underworld forever?
-Have you been bitten by a fox?
Stupid question, this was a witch.
I can find my own way from here.
Perhaps the wicked witch will bite you again!
You spend so much time in the forest, eventually you'll turn into a 'rumpnisse'.
And where do you keep, Fjosok?
How can you find so much stuff every day?
Yes, it is strange and miraculous.
You will have to be cunning as a vixen if you want to drive out the Borkas.
With violence is completely impossible.
To be cunning as a vixen is not my strong suit.
Yes, I realize that.
Ah, Ronja,
How was the forest today?
I...I can't really remember.
-I think there was fog...
-There sure was, we could hardly find our way home.
Mattis!
What did Borka mean? What is it you have taken without permission?
Well...
You are an innocent child, so I haven't told you any of this before.
-No, and we haven't been allowed to say anything.
-Isn't it your bedtime soon?
No.
I want to listen to you explaining to Ronja what it is a robber does.
Well...I'm not sure how to put this.... you know....what to say.
No, but I do.
Robber's take as much as they can from other people.
-Doesn't that make them angry?
Sure.
So angry they scream and cry.
Old man, go to bed!
Ronja, you have to understand.
One day you will be a robber-chief.
Will I...?!
Never!
Ronja!
Not if people get angry and cry!
But I still love you, Mattis.
You see, Ronja.. I only take from the rich and give to the poor.
That's right.
You gave a whole sack of flour to that old widow with the eight children.
I will never forget this.
I did indeed. That's right!
You have such good memory.
That must be at least ten years ago.
You give to the poor every tenth year.
Every twelfth year.
Go to bed! Or I will put you to bed!
I think it is brewing up to a storm.
I can feel it in every bone in my body.
The wolf howls in the forest night.
He howls out of hunger and sorrow
His cave is bitterly cold.
He is hungry for fat sheep.
Wolf, wolf, do not come here
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm ....
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Fjosok!
Well, well, Fjosok.
If your greatest desire in life is to shuffle snow...
-I can promise you a delightful winter.
'whyyyyyy'...
My leg is stuck!
What does she want from us?
'whyyyyy' is she doing this....?
Horrible large.
'whyyyyy' is she doing this.....?
Ruining the ceiling!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Help me out please.
Why did you do that? Now the snow comes in our house.
Help me!
'whyyyyy' is she doing this.......? Pushed me in the stomach! 'whyyyyyyyy'.....?
Help me out
'whyyyyy' is she doing this......?
-Go to hell!
-Oh, night came..... -'whyyyyy'......
Just gone, just gone! Wait for me.
Dont go. Help me!
-Little baby boy. -Hang it on the big foot.
-She is stuck in the ceiling. -Baby boy.
Good place to hang...in the crib, like that.
Good place to hang...for the crib, like that.
The foot is stuck, yes, yes.
I want him swing, too. Yes, yes, but then me.
Me first!
Do not fight, you will wake up the baby.
Yikes, what's going on?
Hey, what's that?
Help me!
What is going on?
-Screaming and shouting - whyyyyy......? -All this noise, 'whyyyyy'........?
Well, well!
Where am I? Ugh, Ugh.
You look so so funny. You can not see? - No.
So now you can see. - Nice.
What's that?
Help me!
A little man!
Little man! Now we'll get you!
Now we get you, little man! Blood will flow, O son of man!
Let me go get my sisters!
Yeah!
Yes, we'll get you!
I get my sisters to help. Then you have to bleed little man!
Then you will never rest again!
Ronja, aren't you going home?
-Here, let me help you. Hold on to me.
-Never leave me again!
I won't. As long as you keep a ropes distance between us. I'll get you loose.
Do not cry anymore. I'l try different way.
Let's see.
What is the going on? Look out!
The child falls down!
Hopefully he has nothing broken.
Waking the baby so he gets snow in his eyes 'whyyyy'......?
'whyyyyy' is she doing this...........? -Nice baby boy.
Do not be afraid, nothing happens to you, no, no.
So now we must separate.
Now I'm going home to Borka-castle, but you can't know the route I take.
Birk.
I wish you were my brother.
-Then I will be your brother, robber-daughter.
I would like that, but only if you call me, Ronja.
Ronja, my sister...
-Did you have a good time in the forest today?
-Yeah, pretty good.
Well, this is fun isn't it?
Wolfpass is blocked by snow so no one is getting out till spring.
Until spring...?! How will I see...
-How will I get to the forest?
-No one is getting to the forest till spring.
What misery!
Twelve snowed in robbers and you on top, Mattis.
We'll just have to try to keep our sense of humour.
I see a chief, ...
A little fart ...
What can he achieve?
Almost nothing,
no nothing ...
because it means ...
Borka.
Because he is Borka.
I see a man,
so big and strong that no one is his match
He is the greatest chief
and his name is Mattis
This chief just gets bigger and bigger the more beer he drinks
What if one pretty day he swells so much he explodes
swells so much he explodes
Where are you going?
-To the basement to get more beer.
-You coming? Yes.
Let's see, Ronja...
That what some storm I tell you, that night when you were born.
Just above us here lays the Hellmouth.
But what's behind those rocks?
Borka, that fox, probably stashes his beer somewhere back there.
-If he has any beer.
-That's a lot of stone.
Pelje, Knotas, Jutis, Tjegge, Fjosok!
-Get out there and shovel snow! -I shovelled snow yesterday, till my back broke.
Sturkas, take Turre and go fetch water and firewood.
-I only have one eye, you expect me to carry firewood? -You expect me to fetch water?
You're all lazy as oxen
except when it comes to fighting and robbing!
Yes, yes, yes.
Birk! Is it you?
Ronja!
-Have you forgotten that you are my brother?
-Not at all, my sister.
-Are your eyes as black as always?
-Take a look if you dare.
Yup, you look just like yourself - just a little paler.
But you don't look like yourself - you're all skin and bones.
That's because I haven't been eating much.
-Don't you have food in Borka-castle?
-No, my belly hasn't been full for a long time.
-Eat, if you're hungry. -Oh!
Ow! Uh! My back.
-Delicious! To hell with being hungry.
Quiet, someone is coming. Come.
In there.
Pssst!
- What in the name of vittror are you doing here?
- Not drinking beer, that's for sure. - One can't shovel snow all the time.
- Well, I'm staying away.
Lovis has started combing for lice
... and spring cleaning the robbers. Ugh!
Out! Get out there!
Do not run this way?
This can't be good for you.
-Au! You're ripping my hair out!
Oh nonsense. A chief should be free of lice.
Skalle-Per, aren't you going out in the snow to clean off some of that muck?
No, it wont stop me dying.
So I choose to die with my muck intact.
Die?! Forget about that.
I haven't lived a day without you, you old goat.
Let's see how it is.
My little robber.
I see a chief wearing a dress, ...
evil as a vittra, ...
When people freeze to death, she stands by, ...
and giggles.
Send them!
Here! I like that.
See what else is in it.
-There're only womens clothing left.
-This was made for you, Knotas.
Hold on, the mug is empty.
Au! Am I not free of lice soon?
Yes, I just like to feel your hair in my hands.
It is so nice and soft.
Yours as well.
I must go Ronja.
-We can only meet in secret.
I hate sneaking,
but without our meetings I wouldn't have survived the winter.
How many times are you planning on saving my life, my sister?
As many times as you save mine.
We can't survive without each other.
Soon it is spring! Then we can meet in the forest.
Now he's going to get it! Hoj, hoj, my bastards!
Now, finally Borka and his thieving dogs are going to get what they deserve-
-...till they fall flat on their faces!
Sit down!
Do you have to hate each other?
Ask Borka what he is doing in Mattis-castle.
But now he is leaving!
Does it have to involve bloodshed till everyone ends up dead?
-The child is wiser than you, Mattis.
-Well, you come up with something better.
Soon Borka will be history
-I have to go to the forest too.
-Yes, run along to the forest.
Ronja, if anything happens to you I couldn't go on living!
Birk, where are you?
Birk!
-Finally! I have waited so long.
-Have you?
-But now it is spring, Ronja.
-I have one of these too now.
-I can feel the winter washing off me.
Soon I will be so light I can fly away.
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh.
That was my spring howl. If I don't howl, I will explode.
I just want to lie here and be in the spring.
I like that about you, Birk son of Borka. Look!
Wisu just because, just because wisu?
There goes my winter hat.
Wisu just because, just because wisu.
Now she's back again. Wisu merely wisu only?
-Aren't you going to thank me for the loan?
-Whyyyyyyyyy?????
Wisu? You will be guilty when I catch cold. Fie, fie.
-You bastards! Skews, here you go!
... Sailor pants!
To hell with you!
You bastard!
Quiet, quiet.
Misery and death!
Come on you sailor pants!
Catch me Borka! Ha ha ha
Come catch me!
I will pay you back!
Come on down, you! Come on down!
Here I am. Come on you sailor pants!
Even spring is ruined by a couple of bull-headed robber-chiefs.
who have absolutely no brains.
There is too much bile in the air.
Come on let's go home.
-We have to go our separate ways.
See you tomorrow sister.
A toast to Borka!
Ronja, you were right! There was no need for bloodshed.
Now Borka will go to hell ...
.. before he has time for his morning fart.
Why?
Look down there.
Look what I caught just now with my bare hands.
You animal!
You can't do this!
What is it I can't do?
Rob if you must. Money and things.
But not people!
-I dont want to be your daughter if you do.
-What is she talking about?
I have caught a vermin, a louse.
And now I intend to clean my castle.
Then you can be my daughter or not, as you please.
Shame on you!
You shouldn't say such things to your father.
Fiosok!
Go to the Hellmouth. and send a message to Borka-
-tell him I want to see him up there as soon as the sun rises.
-Don't touch the vermin!
-This wound needs cleaning.
Get out, all you men! Get lost!
Cares for you Donnerdrummel!
You never do anything but damage!
Have you not heard Mattis? Get out!
Shame on you Mattis!
Oh, Mattis!
Mattis, you lousy dog, you bastard!
You Hundsfurz!
Come out, so I can spit in you ugly face!
May vittrorna claw your eyes out, you cowardly child-robber!
What a bitch you are.
You devil, you devil! Are you not ashamed?
Make your own son,
instead of going after the one I bore for Borka.
-Can't you make your woman shut up?
-Ah Mattis, you damn...
You are dismal, Mattis.
Going after my son to get us to leave.
That is low.
I have not asked for your opinion.
I want to know when you intend to leave.
If you give me back my son, ..
... then you have my word we are gone before the summer is over.
I agree.
-Then you will get your son before the summer is over.
I meant that you give him back now.
Now you do not get it. We have dungeons in Mattis-castle.
So he has a roof over his head.
Let that be some consolation, in case we have a rainy summer.
Ahhh, no!
Just cry! I would cry to if I had such a beast of a father.
Shut up woman.
Now, Mattis...
We have dungeons on this side of the castle too.
Now can I have my son back?
-Yes, yes.
-At the same time you will get your child.
Better you understand. Sheepdog!.
- I dont have a child.
What do you mean?
Is that a new devilry?
Here's your son.
But you can't return my child to me. I don't have one.
But I have one.
And I want that child back now.
Even if the childs father has gone insane.
Come Birk! Come on!
Get over there!
Ronja.
-What have you got going on with her?
She is my sister.
Sister? Well, we'll see about that in a few years time.
Come on.
Do not touch me!
Birk!
Ronja.
-Don't speak to me..
-I am so glad you're alive...
-Don't speak to me!
The wolf howls in the forest night
He wants, but cannot, sleep
hmm, hmm, hmm
Birk!
Birk! Where are you?
Birk!
Birk! Where are you?
What a roar! Wisu just because?
Why are they shouting so? Fie, fie, fie!
Birk!
-Screaming and shouting in the forest. whyyyyy? -Screaming and shouting. whyyyyyyyy???
Birk!
Fie, fie!
BIRK!
Fie, fie!
Whyyy is she shouting like this???
Shes been screaming for three days. Whyyyyy?
Because I miss him.
Can you understand that, rumpnissar?
Wisu-merely simply wisu? -Ronja!
Birk.
Birk!
Now there are more of them shouting. Whyyyyy?????
-I'm moving to the forest. -But, why?
whyyyyyyyyy??
I can't stand the nagging and the yelling any more.
Three days is enough for me.
I want to get out of Mattis-castle as well.
I was born in a cave, so I can certainly live in the Bear cave. But can you?
With you I can live anywhere, Birk.
I come tonight to bear cave.
I'll be there waiting for you.
Enough is enough!
I'm tired of this.
Mattis has been laying in my bed, starring at the wall for three whole days.
Doesn't say anything, doesn't eat anything.
Mattis, now is time to be reasonable again.
Sit down and eat. Can't you see that everyone is waiting for you.
Are you full now, jesters?
Goodbye, Lovis.
Maybe I will see you again, maybe not.
I'm sorry, but I have to.
Way!
Go away, grey dwarves!
Move!
Birk. Where are you?
Ronja. I've been waiting so long.
This is for you.
Thank you.
-Eat, then sing me the wolf song.
-Does that mean you want to sleep.
I spent all day cleaning up after the bear that lived here last winter.
-I have carried firewood.
-Where there is a fire, there is a home.
Yes, this is our home now.
The wolf howls in the forest night
He wants, but cannot, sleep
But I can.
His cave is very cold,
He is hungry for fat sheep.
Lovis can sing much better.
Mattis.
I don't have a child!
I HAVE NO MORE CHILD!
-I'm frozen stiff.
-It is coldest at dawn.
Slowely gets warmer.
Let's get the fire started. Come!
This is the last of the milk. After this there is only cold water.
Does not matter.
That won't make us fat, but it won't kill us either.
Cover your ears, here comes my spring howl.
Ahhh, ahh!
Do you see Birk. The spring is there because I called him.
-I was thinking of getting some fresh water.
-Thinking doesn't get us any water.
Something smells nice. Is it ready soon?
-Now we will have food for several days
-And salmon tastes nice.
Ahh, duh.
-What's wrong?
-I cut my foot.
Is the wound deep?
-It can bleed for as long as it likes.
-Lovis always used to put moss on the wound.
I'll go and get some.
Who knows when you will cut yourself again?.
Are you bringing salmon again!
We never seem to eat anything else. In any case better than nothing.
Look over here.
The moss is dry. Now you can cut yourself again.
Well. Throw me the knife over, then I'll take the salmon out.
-Throw me the knife. -The knife? You have it.
-No, you had it last.
Can not you hear what I say.
What did you do that?
I? Nothing at all. - You had it last.
You're lying!
Listen.
I thought I had explained to you that without a knife we cannot survive in the forest.
Then you would just give more attention to that.
You're a little shit placing the blame on others!
Robber-daughter! And one is supposed to live with you.
Well, you won't have to anymore, Borka-robber.
Live with the knife, if you can find it!
To hell with you!
I'm no sailor pants. Argh!
The knife - but ...
Ronja
Ronja!
Fie, fie. Fie, fie. Fie, fie.
-Ronja! -Whyyyyy whyyyyyy...
-Let her stay in the forest for all I care. -Whyyyy, Whyyyyy?
Wisu just because?
-She'll come back sooner or later.
-She'll come back sooner or later?
But then I tell her my opinion.
Oh, there you are again, but now it's too late.
You should have come sooner."
I should have come sooner? Whyyyyyyy, whyyyyy?
Oh!
Fie, fie. Wisu just because?
Ronja!
She's probably gone home to Mattis-castle.
Poor thing! Who has treated you so badly?
Birk!
Birk. Oh, Birk.
Did you see the bear? He killed her foal.
Ronja -These things happen in the forest..
-But I don't want it to!
Little sister.
Quick - go get the moss. Otherwise she will bleed out.
Come on hurry up.
Poor thing.
There, all done.
What is it?
Whyyy whyyyy... Whyyyy are they doing this?
-So she won't bleed to death.
But her foal is dead Is dead, no longer jumps.
We know that.
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie, fie ...
-Too bad the knife was lost.
-Good thing I found it again.
Do not tell me you've found it.
It was lying right there under the moss whilst we were yelling at each other.
-To think that things can turn out so wrong so unnecessarily.
-That's why we should avoid the unnecessary!
Come on. Come on.
- They're not as shy anymore.
Your foal should have had this milk.
Now you can give it to us.
We could need it.
Let's ride!
Hey, hey!
Yeah!
Hey, hey, hey!
-This is what they did.
-Rag-rut and wild-child, good names.
We'll put the straps in their mouths.
Los clean now!
Cold.
-Look how little milk there is.
-Soon we will have neither milk nor bread.
-Thank you, Lia.
-Next summer you will have a new foal.
Wild horses have a good life, even in winter.
In winter. Sister, now it's summer.
But winter does come.
It takes a long time.
Ronja!
Lill-Klippen, is it you!
To think that you have come!
Nice view here.
You can see the river and the forest.
You haven't come to look at the view, have you?
No. Lovis has sent me here.
With bread.
Lovis bread.
Birk, look!
-We have got bread. -Oh.
Mmmh, smells nice!
Lovis figured you would be running out of bread by now.
Ronja...
Are you coming home soon?
Everyone is waiting.
-Mattis too?
-That beast!
He says nothing.
-Doesn't he even mention my name?
No.
I'm never coming home!
Not as long as I am not Mattis' child.
Tell him that.
Well thank you.
I don't think even Skalle-Per would dare pass on that message.
-So you will not go home to your father then.
-I don't have a father.
I can survive without a brother as well.
Sorry if am being unfair.
But I know what you go around thinking about.
That I have lived through eleven winters,
but the twelfth will be my death.
It is summer now.
Leave my shoes alone!
I just wanted to wear them.
And should I believe you?
-Birk, vildvittrorna!
-Duck, Ronja!
Now the blood will flow! Now we get you!
Yes, now we get to you!
Where are they, where are the little humans?
There's one!
Birk, where are you?
Here! Come here, quick!
Now blood is flowing!
Where are they? Where are the little people?
Where are they?
Out of sight! Out of sight!
Blood will flow!
Nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be found.
-I though you had drowned. -Not yet, but soon.
That can happen.
What?
Can you hear the waterfall?
Let go of the birch!
Lovis!
My child!
-Your hair is wet. Have you been swimming?
-We have swum a little, Birk and I.
-Aren't you going to greet my mother?
-One doesn't greet uninvited guests.
-My mother taught me that.
-Shame she didn't teach you some common sense as well!
Birk is... tired.
-You know why I have come.
-Not to give me bread, I suppose?
-You can have bread when you come home.
-I am never coming home.
-Then Mattis will jump in the river.
-He doesn't even mention my name.
No, if he is awake.
Every night he cries in his sleep and calls your name.
It is hard to watch someone suffer so inhumanly.
Come home.
I can not Lovis.
-Not even if Mattis asked you himself?
-He never will.
Go to bed. I'll sit here till it gets light.
Then I'll go off home.
Until then I will sit here.
And you will sing me the wolf song.
I want to fall asleep in your lap.
The wolf howls in the forest night He wants, but cannot, sleep
Hunger gnaws at his stomach
and his cave is bitter cold,
He is hungry for fat sheep.
Wolf, wolf, do not come here
-What's the matter, Birk?
-I am sitting here mourning.
We've just got this summer, you and me.
And I want to have this summer in peace,
Without the messengers from Mattis-castle.
You'll be returning there when the winter comes
I will stay here.
And freeze to death?
I don't care if I live, if I can't be with you.
Who has said that I am going back to Mattis-castle?
I am telling this!
I intend to freeze to death on my own, if that is the way to be.
But now it is summer, Ronja.
It's a rainy summer we are having.
It's a windy summer we are having.
It's a cold summer we are having.
-You're not very careful with your life.
-I'm going to get some water.
-I'll come once I've got the fire started.
My child.
I have my child again.
Am I your child now?
Am I really your child?
Yes, Ronja, as you have always been.
How I have cried over you.
Is it true what Lovis says,
that you will come home if I ask you?
Ronja, come with me.
Even though I haven't asked you yet,
but I am asking now.
Ronja, come home with me.
Birk son of Borka,
come over here !
What do you want?
-Honestly, to beat you up.
But I won't.
I am asking you to come with me to Mattis-castle.
Why should I?
Don't imagine for one second that I like you.
But my daughter does.
Are you saying that Birk can come home with us?
-Mattis. I need to speak with Birk privately.
-But after that we are going home.
'But then you go home'.
Does he think that I going to become a whopping boy for the Mattis-robbers?
-Would you rather freeze to death in the bear cave?
I think so.
One should take good care of ones life.
Do you know what to do when you stay in the winter in the bear cave?
You will waste your life, - And mine.
-Your life?
-Yes, if you're staying I'm staying with you.
-If you want me to or not.
-I wouldn't want to waste your life, Ronja.
I'll follow you wherever you go,
even if I have to live amongst Mattis-robbers.
Hoh, hoh, ha
-Ronja! -Lill-Klippen!
Thank you for letting me see Ronja whenever I want.
Now I am going home to Borka.
and see how it goes.
If only your father wasn't such a bastard,
we would do what Skalle-Per has been suggesting.
You are a bastard yourself.
-What has Skalle-Per been suggesting?
-He has so many crazy ideas.
-To think that she has returned home to us!
Have you ever seen such a dirty child?
-I have never seen a dirtier child.
My dirty child has come home!
Watch out, watch out!
Now I will perform my happiness-fart.
Well, one needs to give people a proper salute when they return home.
Ronja is back.
Ronja?
-What's the matter?
-I just wanted to make sure you were there.
Of course I'm there, you stupid Mattis.
Borka and Undis were so happy to see me.
I never thought they cared about me.
You can stay with them until spring comes.
Then we're moving back to the bear cave.
So we make it happen.
The guards are after us. Hide!
Haaa! Just you wait!
These cowardly guards are in Matti forest.
Soon I will crush every measly little guard.
Brag when you're riding home. That's what my mother always used to say.
Five
Mattis. The guards will win if you don't do as I say.
Don't bring up that madness...
about me and Borka joining forces again.
Four
Who would be the chief? Borka?
It's simple.
Let a fight decide.
Stronger wins.
You're sure to win a fight between the two of you, you ox.
Oh!
You know what's sad?
Naaa.
It gives me great grief that youre such a bastard.
Otherwise I would have made you my second a long time ago
Ow!
And you know what's sad?
And it gives me great grief that I will disfigure your face...
...for you're already uglier than ought to be legal.
Borka bit the ear! Ha ha
Well done, right?
It will pain me to smash you up so badly
that Undis will cry when she looks upon you.
Mattis is the strongest!
He remains the most powerful robber-chief in all mountains and forests!
Borka...
you will still remain chief in name as well as in honour...
-but from now on my word will be the law, you understand that.
Let's go to Mattis castle!
Come on my friend.
-How are you, my Mattis?
Ei-ei-ei-ei-ei-ei-ei, oh dear.
Little Borka, you could use some beer right now.
Not this way. Over there, over there.
We won.
Oh, we won. -Go and sit down over there.
Don't feel bad about loosing the fight today, Borka..
It will be better for the Borka clan as well.
When you and I are gone your son will take over I should imagine.
And Ronja?
Ronja doesn't want to.
And when she says no, there is no changing her mind.
She gets that from her mother.
-Does Birk want to be a robber-chief?
Of course he wants that
I, Birk son of Borka, swear that I will never be a robber-chief...
...for as long as I may live.
There is no winning with children these days.
One just needs to learn to accept that.
But that's not easy.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Come Mattis.
Come Borka.
I can not dance.
Satan!
Lovis, wake up! I'm in pain.
My only consolation is that that bastard Borka is lying over there in even greater agony..
Silly men!
Undis!
We beat the guards, you should have seen us.
That Mattis isn't as stupid as he looks.
-Fjosok! Yes.
Take this one.
Yes, yes!
Come on guys! Quickly in the warm!
Now we have earned a proper feast.
It was worth it.
Skalle-Per,
We tricked the guard real good.
That Borka isn't as stupid as he looks.
Try to eat some soup. It'll warm you up.
No.
-Aren't you better yet?
No.
I might as well lie here and stare.
Since I have always wanted
I'll stay here whilst I'm waiting.
What are you waiting for?
-Have a guess.
-What's the matter with him?
-Old age.
That won't kill you will it?
However, it will.
Clear out the Donnerdrummel! I will not allow!
-You can decide over many things, but not this.
Ronja.
It gladdens my heart that neither you nor Birk want to become robbers.
It was alright in the old days.
Now they hang you for robbing.
People scream and cry when you take their stuff. I couldn't stand it
Yes.
How could I do such a things?
No, that you could not, my child.
Ronja, ...
Do you remember when I told you about the little grey dwarf?
The one you saved?
Then he insisted on giving me...
Look here comes Mattis!
You look all drained and your eyes are red.
Are you a little sick?
No, you're the sick one.
-Skalle-Per needs to rest now.
-First I want to hear the end of the story.
You remember where the small creek is ...
...
-You can find you way there.
-Yes, I can find my way there.
That's good.
But you have to wait till spring, naturally.
-Don't crowd me.
-I'm so cold.
And you're so warm that the blood boils in your veins, Mattis
Come here, I'll give you some warmth, old man.
He is dead!
He is dead
I'm not dead yet
I have enough manners...
...to say goodbye before I go?
But now, dear friends,
I must take my leave of all of you.
For now I am dying.
Yes, Skalle-Per. That was a farewell.
He's always been here!
And now he's gone!
I know that no one lives for ever.
We are born and we die.
That's inevitable.
What are you grumbling about?
Because I miss him!
I miss him so much that my heart hurts.
Do you want me to hold you?
Yes, please, hold me. - You too, Ronja.
Birk.
Yes, what is it?
I know a silver mine with silver nuggets as large as cat's heads.
A grey dwarf showed it to Skalle-Per.
-I'll believe it when I see it.
-Well, what is this then?
Wow!
Lumps of silver can be good.
But they won't do us much good in the bear cave.
-You can't eat lumps of silver.
Definitely not.
Have you spoken to Mattis yet, about moving out to the bear cave?
No, not yet.
I am a little scared.
-He's going to be mad.
-I'll go with you.
Oh that's how it is
Well now, you're thinking about moving out.
Yes, I am.
My old cave!
I lived there every summer when I was younger.
There is no better place to live.
Do not you agree Lovis?
What!
-Last years apples are rotten.
-Not all of them.
Go, child, if your father thinks so.
But I'll miss you Ronja.
What did you say?
Now he's angry.
The apples are not rotten?
No, no. I'm not angry.
Surely one is allowed to throws things at the walls...
and have some fun from time to time?
It up!
You will come back home in autumn.
As usual?
Yes, as usual Mattis.
I will do what I normally do, and you will do what you normally do.
But the bear cave is mine.
I'll come and say hello.
Yes, the times do.
So he can come out of me like
Fine by me, but it will be a relief not to have to see his curly head every day.
Lovis!
Surely one is allowed to throw things and have some fun from time to time?
You do have just one.
Lovis! Come here!
Now it's only you and me.
You and me, you and me!
Hobble hobble, you and me.
