“Delicious. This is the life!” says a businesswoman to her husband upon her return from a stressful trip - and winds up dead only a few moments later. Little could she have known that the unusual flavour of the festive roast that John serves her stems from the poison it is laced with. Another murder ensues when Fred visits his ex-wife and children in the former mutual home: When his successor is expected to come home, Elin shows her ex the door - upon which the degraded policeman returns to his former home with his gun in hand. Simultaneously, the violent Trond seriously abuses his wife until he loses all control ... Eva Sørhaug presents scenes of domestic violence, without providing any explanations for the sometimes subtle, sometimes eruptive fits. The director thus reacts in a simultaneously disturbed and disturbing manner to the discernible potential for violence in Norwegian society as demonstrated by the attacks in Oslo and Utøya.
