Kresten, newly wed, is on the threshold of a great career success in his father-in-law´s company. But when the death of his own father takes him back to his poverty-stricken childhood home, far out in the country, his career plans fall apart. For one thing he has to deal with his loveable, backward brother, who is now all alone; for another, he meets a stunning woman who comes to the farm as a housekeeper, in disguise of her real profession as a call-girl.

Plot

Kresten has moved from his parents' farm on a small Danish island to Copenhagen to pursue his career. When his father dies he must move back to the farm, where nothing much has happened since he left. He places an ad in the local newspaper to get help with running the farm and looking after his mentally-challenged brother. A prostitute named Liva answers the ad, keen to get away from annoying telephone calls. But running away from your past isn't easy.
