Nelli is a dutiful daughter who would never contradict the wishes and expectations of her parents. Her mother and father have visions of her as a doctor. They would like Nelli to study medicine, like her boyfriend, whom she has been dating for quite some time. But Nelli’s dream is to be a singer. Doctor – or singer? There’s no way that these two careers can be combined. What’s more, Nelli doesn’t even know how to produce the demo tape she needs to convince record companies of her talent. Sune lives a far less sheltered existence. He’s a talented HipHop DJ with one, albeit embarrassing, weakness – his fear of women. In order to convince his friends that the opposite is true, he takes on a bet that he will manage to bed the unapproachable Nelli. An impossible task, so his mates believe. Women like Nelli won’t even give the time of day to a guy like Sune. But Nelli has other ideas, believing that the DJ is just the right person to help her produce her demo tape. The two meet. Each have entirely different ulterior motives. Nevertheless they fall in love.
