A story about falling in love, things getting complicated and having a dad who’s a little bit different

Oda is 16 and lives with her father and grand- parents in a small town in Western Norway. She’s looking forward to spending the summer hanging out with her boyfriend, Sondre, and showing him the beautiful landscape around her home. But when Daniel comes to town, the summer turns into something completely dif- ferent from what she had imagined. Why does he always pop up where she is and get on her nerves? And why is he insisting that she move away from the town?

At the same time, Oda has to deal with a dad who drinks too much and has opened a pub for tourists in his living room. Can’t he be more present for her instead of living in the past?

We follow Oda through some dramatic days during which she struggles to accept her father’s uniqueness, while trying to untangle her feel- ings for Daniel and her boyfriend Sondre.
