action

33-year-old Geirr has been in a wheelchair since a traffic accident. Since then, Geirr has only dealt with war films, joints and Johnny Cash. His wife Ingvild tries to free Geirr from his frustration and pain and also to save the relationship and calls the psychologist Tori for help, who then visits Geirr with her therapy group of severely disabled people. Tori trained the disabled Marte, Lillemor and Asbjørn to see the positive in life - despite their disabilities. But she bites her teeth against Geirr - he manages to infect the therapy group with sarcasm and arguments and to convey his attitude towards life. Tori flees and gives up the whole group; she experiences an extraordinary night soaked in alcohol and drugs and learns the “art of negative thinking”.

Comments

  • "A black comedy which, in its political incorrectness, comes across as too complacent and predictable." ( Lexicon of International Films )
  • "A great directorial achievement - relentless, consistent and with radical wit!" (NDR Film Prize)
  • "A nasty pleasure, a film for everyone who prefers their jokes black, dark and bitter - a nice, extended middle finger in the direction of the Heile-Welt- and Friede -joy-Eierkuchen-Kino!" (Journal Frankfurt)
