Jan works on a Denmark/Sweden ferry, where he's unpopular. His antagonistic wife is violent. His boss sends him to group therapy, where he befriends two wife-beating mechanics and asks them for help. Big mistake.

Ordinary Jan has no easy life. He is by far the most unpopular employee at work. At home it's even worse. His marriage with the not-so-ordinary Bente is on the verge of breakdown. Jan's boss finally sends him to group therapy, where an unlikely friendship emerges between Jan and two mechanics, Rudy and Alf. Had Jan only known that Alf loved opera, and had Bente known what Rudy and Alf were up to, they would never have let them into their home. On the corner of chance and destiny, their lives take unexpected turns.—Nordisk Film Production
