Thank you for your thoughts, guys! That was very enlightening. Maybe it was a combination of both of your ideas.

I think that Hanna didn't expect anything (... ). she went to Carla to look for some sort of answer...
Yes, that makes sense,
moment. It explains why Hanna asked Carla "What is happening to me? Please help me!" She was looking for an answer that would make it possible for her to make the next step. I guess Hanna couldn't believe that she felt something like that for a woman and still had hope that it would turn out as something else than love, so that she could go on with her old life. Carla's questions at the museum however made it clear that there wasn't any other explanation than love. And maybe that's why Hanna was so mad afterwards. She had her answer and then heard about Carla's affair. That's tough

Begging Carla for help was an attempt to take some of the responsibility of making a choice off Hanna's shoulders. In her mind, there were two responses Carla could have to her plea.
Carla could totally reject her, thus ending any chance of a relationship between them. Hanna would stay with Lars, her confusion and guilt would be over and all would be right with the world.
The more attractive response would have been for Carla to take Hanna in her arms and insist she leave Lars. If Carla insisted, Hanna could lay a portion of the responsibilty on Carla's shoulders. Thus, less guilt for Hanna. This is what Hanna really wanted.
Oh, so you think it was about guilt and taking responsibilty,
supercell? So Carla's questions at the museum were kind of a boomerang which explains why Hanna didn't really want to hear them. However, her questions helped Hanna to be honest for the first time when she talked about their night together. You theory also explains why Hanna protested so desperately when Carla said "You've made your decision and you've chosen Lars" and why she was so shocked when Carla refused to help her (by telling her what to do).
By the way, Carla did a really good job being so calm and reasonable at the museum, but the whole time she looked like wanted nothing else than kiss Hanna

Wish we could find the clips when she went away.
Hi
meech . There's almost the whole Carla/Hanna storyline on youtube. Which scenes are you looking for? Maybe we can help?
