A group of Danes over 30 in different relationships, meet at 8 different kinds of parties.

'Long Story Short' is the story of Ellen and her friends, all in their late 30s/early 40s, and their more-or-less self-inflicted complications of love and longing for romantic redemption. The story is a summary of three years of love-related highs and lows for the group of friends told through eight chapters, each set at a party: a New Year's Eve, a housewarming, a Midsummer's Eve, a wedding, a surprise party, a naming ceremony, an anniversary, and a milestone birthday. It is an ensemble story about a group of people who struggle with the conception of the perfect relationship and are bound to re-evaluate their take on what true love is.
