A deeply melancholic portrait of a recovering addict's single day of freedom, suffused with loneliness, existential dread, and the unbridgeable distance between self and others.

A recovering drug addict is granted a day’s leave from rehab and returns to Oslo, where he reconnects with friends, faces the weight of his past, and struggles with uncertainty about his future. Over the course of one day, he drifts through encounters that reflect his longing for connection and his deep sense of alienation.
