Después de algunos años, Ossy va a visitar a su antiguo compañero de juergas Jimmy, que vive en Islandia. Jimmy no le recibe muy entusiasmado ya que ahora tiene un trabajo, una casa y está viviendo con Anna, con la que tiene un hijo y a la que tampoco ha contado nada sobre su pasado salvaje y criminal. La falta de sinceridad hace que la vida perfecta de Jimmy se convierta en un infierno, y culpa por ello a Ossy, que tampoco le ha contado la verdadera y trágica causa de su visita al que probablemente sea el único amigo que ha tenido alguna vez.

It's a movie about a subject that captivates me. And I can see that it also captivates the world and people and has done it at all times. It is the meeting with the stranger. Why is it so difficult to relate to those who's not like ourselves? We constantly divide the world into 'us against them'. Each time we meet a new person, we define ourselves in contrast to the other. We do not look at what connects us, but what separates us. It seems like something that is pervasive - not just for Denmark, Europe and the US, but in every possible society and culture in the world at all times. It is a common human condition that we have endless difficulty in dealing with the stranger. With this movie, I want to ask a single question that sets the world on fire. It is an exploration of my own wonder why the encounter with the stranger is so explosive and can make seemingly sensible people like myself and others mad.
