Fellini and football. Gradisca and Volpina. Mommy's boys, loose dogs, macho men and strong women. Milan, Rome, Venice, Amarcord, mi recordo, - I remember. What makes you happy? What are you afraid of? How could life have been? Throughout his childhood, the director has longed for Italy, and now he is making a journey from north to south that we can join. Italy's living room is the coffee bar, so of course we meet our everyday heroes there, some are cut out of a Fellini movie. Here we listen to hopes of lottery winnings, talks about football, but also reflect on the great existential questions about what the future can bring.
In the remote Norwegian woods, a filmmaker with a bleeding gut, a lovesick farmer, a lumberjack with a heart condition, and a depressed elk-hunter unite in the ceremony of drinking tea. A dark documedy about disease, disorder and death. Who says existentialism can't be funny?
