Music teacher Kasper ineptly tries to seduce his boss so that she doesn’t fire him. The scenario is interrupted by a call from his father, who has some news. Kasper’s recently deceased mother was a passionate quilter, and now her last quilt has qualified for a competition held on the west coast of Norway. Thus begins an unconventional journey. Kasper, now unemployed, and his father, who prefers to wear women’s clothes, take a tent and hit the road on a white Moto Guzzi. The two don’t really have much to say to each other, but in their sorrow, they draw close. Director Dahlsbakken has succeeded in making a film that is both tragic and comic; a road movie in which the protagonists do not become hunted, but instead draw strength from every odd encounter along the way, which keeps them going after a great misfortune.
