The screenplay was written by Kim Leona, Per Fly and Mogens Rukov produced by Ib Tardini, and starred Ulrich Thomsen and Lisa Werlinder.

Christoffer (Ulrich Thomsen) is called back from his life as a restaurant manager in Sweden when his father commits suicide.

His mother, Annelise (Ghita Nørby) puts pressure on him to take over management of the family business, a steelworks factory.

The management task is slowly taking over Christoffer's time and life, and as a consequence, he ignores the needs of himself and his wife.

The movie ends with the acceptance of his fate, indicating that he is following closely in the footsteps of his father, which led to the suicide in the beginning.
