A nurse gets into a dispute at work because she switches to speaking English when she gets nervous. A translator compromises her integrity when persuaded to translate a book she doesn't believe in. An elderly woman and her daughter are humiliated when offered a present of one million kroner from a relative. A warm and nuanced film about people who all mean well, but end up hurting one another.

Sur un ferry qui les ramène à Oslo, Marianne, médecin, retrouve Tor, infirmier dans l’hôpital où elle exerce. Il lui raconte qu’il passe souvent ses nuits à bord, à la recherche d’aventures sans lendemain avec des hommes croisés sur des sites de rencontre. Ces propos résonnent en Marianne, qui revient d’un blind date organisé par sa meilleure amie et s’interroge sur le sens d’une vie amoureuse sans engagement. Ce soir-là, Tor succombe au charme de Bjorn, qui lui résiste et lui échappe...

A seventeen-year-old girl experiences a sexual awakening when she falls head over heels in love with her female teacher. She writes this down in her diary, and writes so well, vividly and recognizably that both mother and grandmother think the book should be published. Without taking into account that the girl has only written it to keep the crush alive for herself.

Deux hommes hétérosexuels vivent des expériences qui les pousse à reconsidérer leur conception de la sexualité et du genre.
