15-year-old Alma spends her time in the Norwegian provincial town of Skoddeheimen with sexual daydreams. She lives out her desires with the help of telephone sex hotlines.

At a party the hoped-for first sexual rapprochement takes place between the two, but Alma's friends don't believe a word. “Tail-Alma” subsequently becomes the top topic of conversation at school.
