About
Three ambitious girls in their 20s—Elise, Alex and Nenne—try to make their dreams come true in Oslo. The girls discover that pretty much everyone, including their parents, have no idea what they're doing with their lives. As they try and break into adulthood, they take comfort in the fact that really we are all just a bunch of fuck-ups doing the best we can.
