Piscine ennui.

Forty-year-old Andreas arrives in a strange city with no memory of how he got there. He is presented with a job, an apartment - even a wife. But before long, Andreas notices that something is wrong. Andreas makes an attempt to escape the city, but he discovers there's no way out. Andreas meets Hugo, who has found a crack in a wall in his cellar. Beautiful music streams out from the crack. Maybe it leads to "the other side"? A new plan for escape is hatched.

Ambulance driver Joe loses his job when self-driving vehicles take over. He's then absorbed into a government system under which people without work are assigned mandatory tasks to prevent them from becoming too passive. Joe’s problem is that his own assignment appears to have vanished somewhere inside the machinery of the system. His attempt to discover his purpose propels him through a succession of increasingly strange encounters, as his search for purpose becomes entangled with his desire for love, friendship and some kind of place in the world.

A young man lives in a flat with his mother. One day she falls ill suddenly only to pass away the following day. The young man is left alone in the flat. However a door that can't be shut properly means he must cope with unwanted intrusions.

It’s not easy to rebel when your dad wants to join the party... One day (in 1979), Magnus and his son Nikolaj hit the wall in their new terrace house in Rykkinn. Magnus is an architect, hippie and free spirit, a glaring exception in a community where equality and conformity is the norm. He always stands up for his son, supporting him unconditionally, even when Nikolaj decides to stop giving a damn.
