Jacob Nossell (24) is intelligent, but hardly fits the picture of a dream child: he suffers from a paralysis of the brain, a congenital physical handicap. It affects not only his powers of speech, but also causes cramps and stiffness. When he speaks, his words cluster together, and when he walks it is with difficulty. With a normal intelligence in a weakened body Jacob is the embodiment of the problem ‘what is normality’: he is too much of an invalid to be fully accepted by society and too ordinary for him to be able to accept his own fate.

Brothers Henrik and Christian have put a year-long family and inheritance dispute behind them. A dispute that was once about a million-dollar fortune and a dubious will, but which was fundamentally rooted in their shared upbringing in a dysfunctional family. Now the two brothers stand at a crossroads: Henrik tries to break the destructive patterns and create stability for his family, while Christian seeks belonging in a right-wing brotherhood. At the center is Henrik's son Alexander, torn between the shadows of the past and his own hope for change. Can one ever break free from one's social heritage?
