Synopsis:

Jesper Jensen is a successful IT salesman who stops at nothing, even if it means backstabbing his best friend. Being number one in the company and having a beautiful wife and a lovely home, Jesper seems to lead a perfect life, but one day his arrogance and self confidence hits him in the face like a boomerang and he loses everything overnight. Jesper is sentenced to do community service at a recycling center with the odd and funny characters Dion, Theodor, and Lotte. At first he looks down on these people and doesn't want to be associated with them. When he begins to loosen up, however, he discovers that he can learn a lot from their straight forward and honest approach to life.

A successful IT salesman realizes that there's more to life than luxury and creature comforts after losing it all and being sentenced to work at a local recycling dump in director Rasmus Heide's socially conscious comedy. When it comes to IT sales, Jesper is number one. He prides himself on his work skills, and his entire life revolves around staying at the top of his game. After all, what could be better than having a lavish house, a beautiful wife, and a fat bank account? But Jesper is arrogant, and that unwavering hubris will soon be his downfall. After losing everything overnight, Jesper is sentenced to community service at a recycling dump and forced to work alongside the common people that he so despises. Common people like straight-shooting boss Theodore, daydreaming lesbian Lotte, and lazy worker Dion. At first Jesper is downright offended to be so closely associated with the working class, though before long he begins to recognize the profound beauty of the simple life. Later, after striking up a romance with a pretty girl, Jesper learns that the dump may soon have to shut down. If anyone can save the dump it's Jesper, and now that he's seen the light he'll do everything in his power to ensure that his newfound friends still have their jobs at the end of the day.

A successful IT salesman realizes that there's more to life than luxury and creature comforts after losing it all and being sentenced to work at a local recycling dump in director Rasmus Heide's socially conscious comedy.
