So, first of all, hello everyone.
And congrats on the new grant.
We have a busy day and a party this evening,
so I won't take long.
Viivika is here to represent our donors.
She wants to hear what we do here,
in plain language.
Viivika deals with marketing at the fund.
Sandra, please take over.
Hello.
In short, we study the shape of Bessel-X pulses.
To study faster and faster processes in matter,
you must bombard it with shorter and shorter pulses of light.
But, the problem is that the light pulse generally
tends to break down the matter as it penetrates.
To test the dispersive nature of the pulse,
we passed it through a 7 cm test specimen
and compared it to a control pulse.
To show light moving faster than itself. - Thank you, Sandra.
Do you have pictures of this thing?
The duration of the light pulse was 200 femtoseconds
and its spatial extent was 20 micrometers.
I have to see how clear the pictures are.
No, I meant of the research group.
People working in the lab.
Yes, of course. We can send...
Thank you, Sandra.
Alrighty then.
Congrats again for the grant.
And thank you, theoretical physics team.
Okay! We will continue the talent show.
The next hot act is Soft Materials. The stage is yours!
Sandra, can you come with me, please?
Right now? - Yes.
Have a seat.
We need to talk.
And not about something festive.
I'm sorry. But no need to mince words.
You see, the new grant requires us to invest more into product development.
Frankly, we didn't get as much money as we wanted.
We have to reduce the lab work.
And your position won't be needed.
It was the council's decision.
I couldn't...
I like you a lot.
And I...
I'm just the messenger here.
Hey.
Let's go have a dance to ward off the sadness.
Trends change. New projects will come.
Let's go dance, okay?
Thank you. I don't wish to right now.
Come on, what is this?
What are you doing?
You don't have to pack now. We can...
Sandra, you can't leave like this.
This doesn't feel good.
Hey, let's go back to the party.
You can clean tomorrow. Sandra!
SANDRA GETS A JOB
Goodbye.
Bye, mom. - Bye.
I needed to add something to the results.
To specify the level of accuracy of the calculations.
Now I'm finished.
Yesterday didn't go so great...
By the way, professor Tamm is looking for new people, for his research group.
Hello?
Hello, is this professor Tamm's office? - Yes, it is. How can we help?
Is professor Tamm hiring?
Yes, we are. What is your name? - Sandra Mets.
Please repeat that. Bad connection.
Sandra Mets.
Professor Tamm was my doctoral thesis supervisor.
So you know each other. Great.
We have a meeting tomorrow at 11.
Come and we can talk. - Thank you.
Very good.
I'll send the thermal bags over next week.
The temperature has to be right.
If you wish.
And a little additional favour.
Please do not have sex for four days before you do it.
That would be perfect.
Okay, very good.
Let's do that.
I have to go now.
We have a little family occasion.
Tuesday will be perfect.
I'll arrange the thermal bags.
Bye. Say hello to your family.
Okay. Professor Lundqvist agreed.
The main thing is to get things moving. Five researchers are in already.
What are you so excited to research? - It's all very interesting.
I got a grant to study the correlation
between genetical heredity and general intelligence.
Italian researchers built a machine
that'll allow me test additional parameters with sperm samples.
That's the key. - What parameters?
Concentration, hereditary preoccupation. There's more, of course.
These form a matrix that allows us to evaluate
the relationship between IQ, and heredity more precisely.
That has all been studied already. - Salad?
There's enough salad. I want some meat. - We still need to cook the meat.
So how are you doing?
Good.
We are finishing the Bessel-X project
where we bombard matter with ever faster light pulses.
That is a discipline for the future.
Don't tell mom, but my research for next week
means handing out thermal bags to my sperm donors.
Tiina, could you play with Mia a bit? - I can't. I have to cut the cake.
Let's play.
Tiina.
Can I leave Mia with you for a few days? I have a lot of work right now.
Why don't you leave her with Ilmar?
Her father has lectures in Stockholm. - In Stockholm?
Tiit has a lot of work too. I have to help him too.
Well, alright. Let her come.
Goodbye.
What I wanted to say is that.
Our profile is changing.
We will probably receive a grant to study complex systems.
Simply put, chaos.
You remember the sand pile assignment?
So we'll continue with thermodynamics, but under a slightly different light.
As a reminder:
when we connect the energy of each grain of sand
with the total energy of a system,
we can describe its behavior as self-organizing criticality.
I won't delve deeper at the moment.
This system can be used in the food industry,
cell biology, neurology,
light pulses can predict hurricanes, snow storms.
Not only that.
But also organizational behavior, the stock market, earth quakes.
What will become of regular thermodynamics? My area of study?
Damnit, Viljar, enough of this nonsense!
Same thing, every day! What will happen?
We've studied that already. Now we study something new.
In addition to the processes, we need to talk about structure,
or the networks created -
the best example is the brain.
A small irritation can put a trillion neurons to work
and the result of a thought can be new quality.
Yes, that's right.
That's my point.
I don't want to study chaos.
What is the first deadline?
What deadlines? Do earth quakes have deadlines?
Alright.
Good.
That's all.
So, how are you doing?
Your thesis... What was it called?
The effect of quantum particles on matter.
Right. I still remember it.
But I have to apologize. There's been an unfortunate mistake.
We're not hiring.
Good luck. Say hi to your father.
I will. Goodbye.
Go to sleep.
Come in.
Hello.
Here's a questionnaire.
Fill it out at home and mail it to us.
Or do it online.
I'm interested in what brought you to us.
You are highly educated. A scientist.
I was laid off.
Research work is very unstable.
It's dependent on projects and grants.
Alright.
Good luck. After the test we'll see what profession might suit you.
Happy birthday. - Thanks.
Come on.
Hi. Please take off your coat and take a seat.
How long will the birthday last?
Two hours.
Alright then.
Terje. - Kalev.
Sandra.
Begin.
I can solve the first one quickly.
Teamwork.
This is teamwork. Let's discuss first.
But I can just do it.
Hey, Kalev, if she's so smart, maybe you and I can just do the teamwork together?
Finished.
Hello.
Can you lend me some money?
Why? - I don't have any money.
Remember after you were sick, when you went to the Olympiad and got 95 points?
Dad was so proud of you.
I got 100 points.
Ah, right.
Thank you.
The tests showed you're more suited for individual professions.
Jobs like secretary, teacher, scientist,
individual sports athlete,
food taster, coach, detective.
So basketball's not your thing.
I was joking.
What happens next?
Next?
We lined up some interviews for you.
As many as were fitting, and we could find for the moment.
This isn't criticism, more a suggestion on our part.
But you should think about a voice coach.
Your voice can be too forceful at times.
You need to speak in a tone that is useful to you.
Do I speak too loudly?
No, that's not what I meant.
That's all from me.
Here is a list of the jobs where we have interviews set up for you.
There are no research institutes on this list.
Unfortunately not.
So, here it is.
First of all, welcome to Calci Dental Practice.
Or not so much a practice. It's OÜ Calci.
Or just Calci.
Let's take a look at your experience.
You worked previously as a researcher. What was the job like?
I don't understand the question exactly.
What studies did I do, or what does a researcher do in general?
What were your duties at your previous job?
My main task was to perform physics experiments
to accurately map the shape of Bessel-X pulses
and the processes taking place in matter
as it comes into contact with light pulses
at different speeds and wavelengths.
Describe your relationship with your superiors.
I would describe it as professional.
Why did you decide to leave your previous job?
I was laid off.
I've been laid off too.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Would you stay at Calci?
What do you think?
Why do you wish to become the administrator here?
I don't wish to become the administrator at OÜ Calci.
Thank you very much for coming.
It was fun talking with you.
We will get in touch as soon as we've met with all the candidates.
I see.
There you are. I just lifted out the last samples.
Do you know what this is?
Are you into astrophysics now?
Think. What is this?
I don't remember the name, but it's a supercluster.
Yes. The largest known supercluster. Laniakea.
And?
Everyone is talking about atomic energy,
but there's also something working against it.
Dark energy wants to pull us apart.
Finally, it will pull us into original particles.
But here's something that's pulling us together.
That's gravitation. Space-time geometry.
Exactly! And that's the key.
Why am I showing you this?
Light!
This picture depicts the galaxy as a ray of light.
Why?
The light is showing us something.
Light reveals. - Reveals?
What?
What is this? - A nerve cell.
Exactly! Now compare these pictures.
You know,
I was thinking we could study this together.
I want to change professions.
Research is very unstable. What do you think?
You could be a top scientist.
You have to suffer through this.
You should find another scientist husband to support you.
Why are you saying those things?
Sorry.
Does mom know? - No. And don't tell her.
Okay. They should deliver the machine next week.
Then I can keep going with this.
Dad!
Often I don't know exactly how to...
I don't understand anything anymore.
What do you mean?
I talk with the wrong voice.
Can you lend me money?
Yes, of course. I'll transfer it.
You could join us for dinner more often.
Then you'd have to spend less.
I have to go now.
Please sit.
Alvar Nissik. Partner and CEO.
Sandra Mets.
Tea? Coffee?
Not right now. They interfere with concentration.
You are a scientist. What work did you do?
I worked on different studies.
On the effect of Bessel-X light pulse
on matter and the changes in its structure
after being bombarded with light pulses.
Very interesting.
And why the sudden interest in being an assistant?
The employment office recommended it. Research is very unstable.
It's dependent on grants and funding.
Do you speak Finnish?
A little bit.
So what do we do with you?
In any case, it's good to have intelligent people around here.
Know what? Let's do this.
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
But I'll let you into the next round. Alright?
Alright.
Good, then.
Until next time!
What an interesting place to meet.
A change of pace.
Okay.
Sometimes we can just chat.
Well...
What are your hobbies, for example.
Nature documentaries.
Very interesting.
I like films about sports.
Films about sports?
What are those?
They're mostly about athletes.
And how have you been doing?
Well.
Do you have any new job offers?
Sometimes we can just meet.
Wait, don't be like that.
I don't know. Let's have some tea, then we'll see.
Sandra, calm down.
Begin.
Finished.
How long have you worked here?
Five years.
I started off at the treasury on the third floor.
Now I'm at the loan committee on seventh.
Where do you work?
At a bank.
Do we know each other?
I just thought we work in the same building.
Right.
No, that's the right attitude.
Excuse me for bothering you.
The chicken is right out of the oven.
I had some trouble with the seasoning, but you can't do everything.
We received the machine.
It was very expensive.
But it's also very good.
And last week I got sperm from an Italian professor.
It has given very interesting results.
What do you mean?
They fit our hypothesis exactly.
A very interesting combination. Either complete idiots or geniuses.
What's sperm?
I bought a cake today.
It's not homemade, but it looked tasty.
What is it? What happened?
Tarvo is dead.
Your old frat mate? The astronomer?
Yes, him. Who else?
It was suicide.
I don't get it. Why?
These things happen.
It's terrible, of course. Have some cake.
But what is sperm?
Sperm is composed of creatine, testosterone,
magnesium, calcium, fructose, vitamin B12.
Okay.
So this will stay here.
Don't be mad.
I just want to check and compare later.
Don't let it bother you.
Hallo. I'd like to make an appointment with you. 4 pm next Wednesday.
One moment. Let me check.
Yes, that is possible.
How about Tuesday?
Let me see.
Unfortunately Tuesday is full,
but Wednesday is free.
Fine. See you then.
It's booked. See you then.
The idea is for you to be in front of the camera.
Does that mean I got the job?
I'm going swimming. You wait here.
Hit the gas, stop wasting time.
But we're not in a hurry.
I don't even know if we should use flashers.
Oh come on. I go to the store with flashers on.
Did someone die?
What?
Did someone die?
No, why?
It's a simple robbery.
Alright.
Now think carefully what the thieves may have done.
You have to be very observant in our profession.
You did very well.
We're happy.
Especially Sandra. The footprint you found
will really help the investigation.
You both did well.
So we'd like to see both of you at team bowling tonight.
Right, Allan? - Great idea.
It's at Puurman at seven.
We work hard, we play hard.
Hallo? - Hey, Sandra.
Dad did not come home last night.
He said he's working all night at the lab again.
Haven't you talked to him?
No, I haven't.
Let him finish his project. Give him time.
Besides, Tarvo is dead. - What's that got to do with anything?
He's in mourning. - He'd better stop it.
You can't mourn every stranger.
Welcome to our potential colleagues Priit
and Sandra. So let's stay polite.
Let's take another one to get the blood flowing.
Now we're talking!
Whose turn is it?
Sandra.
I didn't have a chance to ask how much of this job is lab work
and how much is what we did today?
I don't know.
Go ask Anne.
I have to go. I need to relieve my babysitter.
Great. We'll be in touch.
Damnit, pick up.
What?
Sorry, I'm a little drunk.
Can we get together? What?
You said you want to get together.
Right now? At night?
When then? I don't get it.
Where are you? - Out in the city.
Where? - In the city!
I'm in trouble.
Pretty big room.
Stop sneaking around.
Why are we here?
You wanted to come here.
Stop that.
Get lost. Go to hell!
What are you still doing here?
Why are you being such a jerk?
Who do you think you are?
Hello.
Hey-hey. Am I speaking to Sandra Mets?
Yes.
Tõnis recommended you. You know each other.
I'd like you to come for a job interview.
Or rather just to chat. When would be good for you?
I don't know.
How about today at three?
Today already?
Actually, that works for me. - Good. See you.
Excuse me, but where are you located? - Tihase 14.
I see. - Great, see you then.
Goodbye.
Tea? Coffee? Beer? Soda?
Thank you. Not right now.
Our company is a growing start-up. Steering Energy.
We are developing an app that lets consumers
monitor their home's electricity consumption.
The project is green, it's socially conscious, it's hot.
But how are you doing?
What do you mean?
What have you done? What do you do now?
After university I worked at the Institute of Physics. I was a scientist.
I did research into the shape, and effect of Bessel-X pulses.
Currently, I am unemployed.
Interesting. Why aren't you a scientist anymore?
Our project lost its funding.
And they didn't need as many people in the lab.
Great. So you're not stupid. That's what counts.
In other words, we need a broad-minded
development person, who can monitor our project,
think about improvements, find our strengths and weaknesses.
Your plus is that you're a little older.
Or, don't get me wrong, we're just too young.
A bit more about our company we are at the seed phase
but we'll get A category investors on board soon.
Then we'll have stability.
Okay, enough talk. If we can agree on salary,
then when would you start?
You don't have any more rounds?
What rounds?
I mean other candidates?
Oh, come one. Who wants to do all that?
I can start right away.
That's what I wanted to hear. Super.
Tomorrow morning at nine. The others will be here.
You'll see your workplace and we'll discuss details.
Do you need a computer?
Of course. - Just kidding. See you tomorrow.
Lunqvist stabbed me in the back.
He sold the study under his own name. Tiit.
Karl, Andreas, Ron, Paul.
Sandra.
Paul is our development manager. Paul, come with us.
Let's show Sandra the miracle we're working on.
Paul wanted to become a patent attorney before.
Watch out. As soon as you've said two words, he already has a patent on them.
Paul even wanted to patent a foosball move. Right?
Paul. Let's go.
So we have this consumer interface.
At the moment electricity consumption average, low,
okay you could say. Everyone is happy.
Let's see what happens next.
The price of electricity rises and what happens?
The leaves fall. - Exactly.
It's like a metric showing how and what next. So let's see.
This is a sharp rise in prices.
And I mean sharp! Cool, isn't it?
And you plan to sell this program to people?
Exactly. Real product for real money.
So, plank?
Agreed.
Hello. Is Tiit here?
No. I haven't seen him for two weeks.
Two weeks? Where is he?
I don't know.
The phone you are calling is out of range.
Please try again later.
Hello everyone. I put together some thoughts
I have about this program.
First of all, I had an idea
to make this more exciting for consumers.
You should set up your program to show consumers
each other's electricity consumption.
If a similar apartment is consuming less,
you can see the savings. - That's right.
We can make the consumers compete with each other.
Whoever consumes the least gets a prize, of course. - I have another idea.
The program could come with a chip that reduces the voltage,
bringing savings for all consumers.
I need to do more work on this chip.
Electrical chips have different standards.
Damnit, Edvin, finally you've done something.
Where did you find this gun?
With persistent, patient headhunting.
My grandfather is a carpenter.
He always wanted me to make something by hand.
Now we have it. A chip. Of course, why didn't we think of that?
We are no more download dudes. We have a real thing.
This will bring two patents in a jiffy.
Of course! Girls! Champagne!
Where did you go?
This is your victory.
I thought I'd do a little more work.
Generally a good idea.
But as you can hear, we're setting up the band.
Maybe you can be our singer?
You could get to know the gang. What do you think?
I don't sing.
Come on. None of us are real musicians.
We're just messing around.
Edvin, I don't like to sing.
If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Fine.
One more thing.
We have a meeting with angel investors tomorrow.
So get your slides ready
on that chip. See you.
See you.
Hi, grandma.
Hi, Mia.
Sandra, I want to talk about Tiit.
There's no gene or sperm study.
I don't know what he's been doing recently.
He ordered some expensive machine with university funds.
No one knows where he is.
I don't know.
The university said that machine is just standing there.
Unused, I hope.
Sandra, tell me, what do we do?
I don't know.
Where is he?
Turn here.
Right here. And stop right here.
This is where he and Peep came to drink.
Maybe you can talk to someone at the university?
Soften the blow a bit?
About this machine thing.
You know those people.
I don't work at the institute any more.
What do you mean?
I work in a start-up company.
What start-up? What is that?
Computers. Programs.
You gave up on research?
Stop the car.
Stop right now. Stop the car right now.
I won't ride in the same car with you.
What happened to grandma?
Grandma couldn't tolerate me anymore.
But, mommy, can you tolerate me?
Sandra...
sits at the front.
I sit in the middle. Paul, you're on the other side.
Sandra makes the opening pitch.
Then I show them that we're a well-oiled machine.
Paul, you take the negative questions, and oppose them.
And I'll smooth things over. Is that clear?
Where do I sit?
Damnit, I'll show you in the room.
The positive feature of this chip is that it's small, easy to install
and the long-term energy savings
is considerable. But I have to emphasize,
that this is just a project.
The energy monitoring program is already ready.
Wonderful.
By the way, did you know
that the tallest common pine in the world grows in Estonia?
Of course we did. That was on the news, wasn't it?
Ah, I think I forgot to introduce my father. He's from Toronto.
He just wants to see how we work here.
What's the valuation of your company?
How much money have you raised?
The seed was 2 million euro at 0,1%.
So the global value of the company is 100 million.
What if we came in at 30 percent?
Unfortunately, that would delude us completely.
In order to make a successful exit, our share must remain higher.
Otherwise we're not attractive to investors later.
But the energy monitoring is ready for sale, right? - Yes, pretty much.
We'll add Sandra's supplement right away.
Boy.
We could invest a couple hundred thousand in this chip.
But that online thermometer for pensioners forget it.
We don't invest in hobbies.
But the boys have that thermometer ready, right? - Yes.
But not the chip.
We should look at the online energy monitoring program
separately from the chip.
Right now, we are talking about the program.
It will take 1-2 years to develop the chip. - Yes.
We need some time to think.
Your presentation
was very thorough. Thank you. Great.
I think we can call it a day, or what?
I feel a certain affinity for that old man. - You shut up.
Fuck!
That Juhan was right. We don't have a chip.
Not yet.
Everything takes time.
How are you?
Hey!
Hi.
I brought you some books.
Mom called? - Yes.
I heard you have a new job.
How is it?
It's alright. I can manage.
I always knew your job was research.
Maybe.
Do you have a moment? Can we have a little evaluation chat?
I wanted to tell you one thing.
You're the only member of our team who really works.
I mean that.
We don't have much to connect you to our company.
But I'd like to offer the option that,
if we start doing well, you'll get shares in our company.
What is it, Sandra?
Edvin, that's great and all, but...
I feel like I don't fit here.
What? What are you talking about?
I just feel it.
I know it comes as a surprise.
You're all very nice and work hard.
But that's how it is. - No, we don't work hard.
Damnit, every time we start doing good,
obstacles appear. Failures, angel investors, you.
What is this curse?
Two years ago we produced virtual wood, for virtual fireplaces.
The Japanese bought them like crazy.
And just when we were about to make a profit, a competitor appeared.
You know why we failed?
No, I don't.
We were told that our firewood burned too fast.
But that was the whole point.
They say we're supposed to grow through failures.
But grow how?
Am I making any sense?
Yes, you are.
I want to say one more thing.
You're going to go bankrupt.
How do you know?
I calculated.
Developing the chip is too expensive. You don't have the money.
But the electricity tree is too cheap. No one will pay for it.
What do you plan to do?
I don't know.
I've done everything right my whole life.
Been good. Done what's needed.
But I haven't gotten anything in return.
Maybe no one gets anything in return.
Maybe.
I'm going to go now.
Goodbye.
You don't have to keep an eye on me anymore.
Let's drink to new research projects.
