Atle (Svein Sturla Hungnes), a practicing psychiatrist, and Eigil (Knut Husebø), a avant-garde theater director, are lifelong friends and former 1968-generation left-wing radicals who have settled into prosperous, bourgeois middle-age careers. Both men are divorced and struggling with deep existential dissatisfaction, failing relationships, and estrangement from their teenage children. As Eigil pours his frustration into an ambitious, provocative stage production and Atle confronts psychological crises in his practice and personal life, both men engage in impulsive romantic encounters, reckless behavior, and toxic conflicts. The film serves as an epic, satirical autopsy of a generation that traded its revolutionary ideals for social status, material comfort, and hedonistic self-indulgence.
