A group of privileged Norwegian teenagers go on a trip to a friend’s coastal retreat on Norway’s south coast when news breaks out about a strange virus spreading around the world. Seemingly sheltered from the unfolding devastation in their remote holiday home, the teenagers fastidiously continue to eat, drink, play and make love.

The story of 12 year old Rikke's first meeting with this thing called love - a meeting that starts and ends within the hour.

Drug abuse not only destroys the addict, but whole families are disintegrating from the inside. And both the abuser and the relatives can make themselves do and say things they would not dream of in their wildest fantasies.

Nowhere is a meditative journey through nature's calming landscape and man's chaotic reality in search of epic beauty and harsh truth. The film is based on Rogaland's cultural and industrial landscape, but as the title Nowhere suggests, the images are not tied to a specific place. The film sheds light on the contrast between man and nature, and on man's urge to shape his surroundings.

The film is a short poetic documentary based on a text by author Tor Obrestad that describes the everyday life of "Gamlingen"; a distinctive outdoor pool in Stavanger.
