Frode Ytre-Arne

Nahid (12) is an asylum seeker in Norway. She has a dream she wants to realize, which turns out to be difficult for her: She wants to learn how to ride a bike. Her parents won’t allow it, fearing for her reputation if they’re deported. Girls who ride bikes are frowned upon in Afghanistan. But Nahid is a fighter, and she won’t let anyone get in the way of her dreams.

The story of 12 year old Rikke's first meeting with this thing called love - a meeting that starts and ends within the hour.

The film is a short poetic documentary based on a text by author Tor Obrestad that describes the everyday life of "Gamlingen"; a distinctive outdoor pool in Stavanger.
