Oslo, 31. August
Oslo, August 31st
Im Rahmen seines beinahe abgeschlossenen Drogenentzugs am Land darf Anders für ein Vorstellungsgespräch in die Stadt. Allerdings beschließt er etwas länger zu bleiben, um in Oslo herumzustreifen und alte Bekannte zu besuchen, die er schon lange nicht mehr gesehen hat. Anders ist 34, gut aussehend, intelligent und kommt aus einem intakten Elternhaus. Ihn quält aber der Gedanke, dass er in seinem Leben viele Chancen verpasst und einige Leute enttäuscht hat. Das Leben scheint für ihn schon am Ende, doch im Laufe der Zeit, die Anders in Oslo verbringt, keimt in ihm die Hoffnung auf, doch wieder Liebe, Hoffnung und ein neues Leben finden zu können.
Anders will soon complete his drug rehabilitation in the countryside. As part of the program, he is allowed to go into the city for a job interview. But he takes advantage of the leave and stays on in the city, drifting around, meeting people he hasn‘t seen in a long while. Thirty-four-year-old Anders is smart, handsome and from a good family, but deeply haunted by all the opportunities he has wasted, all the people he has let down. He is still relatively young, but feels his life in many ways is already over. For the remainder of the day and long into the night, the ghosts of past mistakes will wrestle with the chance of love, the possibility of a new life and the hope to see some future by morning
