A sharp, darkly comic satire about urban planning and systemic absurdity in a near-future Oslo, where idealism collides with bureaucratic dysfunction.

When a project to build a thousand flats in Oslo is put out to tender, architect Julie has an idea: why not convert empty underground car parks into residential buildings? A pitch-black, keenly observed satire about an all-too-near future.
