Plots(1)
The wooded heartland of Norway swoops by underneath. Its the day before Election Day. We land by a gas station, stuck in the middle of nowhere. Lasse runs the station. That is, when he hasnt excused himself to work on his con-amore project: re-building an old Tiger Moth aeroplane. Lasse dreams of once swooping over the Norwegian heartland himself. Lasses gas station becomes the focal point of eight intertwined stories, all based on the different philosophies of Norways eight major political parties: A man gets a nasty surprise as he steps out of his car to enjoy a refreshing skinny dip. A locations scout looses her mind as a cow eats her communicator. A policeman faces a dilemma as he meets an illegal family along the roadside. A blind girl and her little brother sell lottery tickets to benefit blind children in Africa. A boy falls in love with the girl at the gas station, but his bad friend stands in the way. A middle-aged man picks up a young hitchhiker, thus confronting the short-comings of his own life. Three girls, on their way to go sailing, have engine trouble and recieve help from an old man in a pyjamas. Nine old men, hiking in the woods, meet a young girl stuck in a swamp.
An off beat comedy about love and how to obtain a better life. (Norsk Filminstitutt)
