Does the love between two people disappear when you can´t express it anymore?

When the guitarist in Håndgemeng loses his arm in a battle against demons, the band makes a pact with the Devil himself, also known as Medieval Knievel. One blood offering later, they’re back – resurrected, possessed, and ready to party. Fueled by hash, heavy metal, and hellfire, they tear through the night on motorcycles.

After the loss of their only daughter, the parents are left shattered by grief. When she suddenly reappears at their door — weak, starving, yet alive — they welcome her back, and life seems to return to normal. But that doesn’t last long.

When a hopeless romantic meets his ex-girlfriend at a wedding reception, old flames are rekindled, but things are more complicated than they seem.

Pau faces their biggest fear: going down an escalator.

A CCTV-operator develops a fear of being surveilled himself.

We meet Morgan, the leader of Students for Palestine in Trondheim, and follow their campaign to pressure NTNU to freeze its collaboration with Kongsberg Gruppen.
