Supermarket clown Ulrik dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian. Handicapped Amnesty girl Kristin is in love with swaggering Alexander but dares not tell him. Erna is to be deported from the country because she is a "consumed" mail order bride from Eastern Europe. These are three of the characters in a film from the Norway of losers, the other Norway, from the shadow of the welfare state. It's all about life, lies, and failure because of lying to oneself and others. But maybe there is hope for the peculiar outsiders in this black comedy.
