Aberdeen is a 2000 drama film directed by Hans Petter Moland, starring Stellan Skarsgård, Lena Headey and Charlotte Rampling.
The song Skarsgård hums throughout the movie and eventually is played in the end scene is the Swedish song "Balladen om herr Fredrik Åkare och den söta fröken Cecilia Lind" by Cornelis Vreeswijk.
Despite being called "Aberdeen", the film is not set within the Scottish City of Aberdeen, although the North East City has many links with Norway and its heritage. However, the characters are linked by the City.
Kaisa is a Scot, a successful London lawyer, who snorts coke and has one-night stands with strangers. Her mother calls from Aberdeen with some story begging her to fly to Norway and collect her alcoholic dad whom she hasn't seen in years. The impatient Kaisa reluctantly agrees. The story is a ruse: mom is dying and wants her ex and her daughter together again. The trip gets complicated (dad is too drunk to fly and the hot-tempered Kaisa gets them banned from the airline): they go by ferry then car, needing a great deal of help along the way from a sweet lorry driver named Clive. Will they reach Aberdeen before mom's death, and will Kaisa find any stability within herself or in others?

I've been trying real hard to realize
But some things take a long, long
Long, long time
Long time
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foaming at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
You burned me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen
Way back
Way back
Way back
Never saw my dark side, in, in your eyes
Back and forth, bloody fingers
Painting up the sky
The sky
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foaming at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
You burned me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen
Way back
Way back
Way back
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foaming at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
You burned me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen, Aberdeen
Way back
Way back
