The story of a panic attack; of one, no, two hands dancing; of a party that does not fit everyone; of a tramp challenging the divine; of a little girl that aged a bit. The story of everybody, of somebody, or maybe the story of nobody at all, that unfolds under the eyes of an atonic spectator. The fragmented story of the myth of the common man, of their strengths and their weaknesses, of their feelings and their emotions, of their success and thier failure. In a few words, the story of the human contradiction. The story of the steps of the first and last individual, and all of those who walked in the meantime. The human life.

It has hardly been seen before that a 83-year-old actor has starred in a Danish film, but it is the case here, where Kai Holm says goodbye to a long life in film and theater service. He plays an old peasant who on his deathbed is waiting for his son (Jon Bang Carlsen). In a few days he relives the village life, he comes from, and which was marked by a hard and authoritarian upbringing. He is at his father's deathbed despair because it is still impossible to make contact, and in a crisis situation, he recognizes his father's brutality in itself. The film draws a bitter picture of human relationships where dreams while they die, degenerates into power relations.
When a worker is found murdered on the construction side, the investigation swiftly turns from things criminal to the political circumstances surrounding the building itself. Widespread corruption and neglect by the builder himself are seen to have brought the situation about.
