Synopsis:

A high school story every bit akin to Dazed and Confused or Can't Hardly Wait, Better Than Their Reputationfollows a sweet-natured French student named Dag in love with his 20-something teacher Tone. But Dag's love is complicated by his hard-charging overachiever ex, Karin - and her ongoing liaison with Roald, Dag's best friend. Dag's classmates are quick to tease, but the film explores the ins and outs of the concept that their skepticism might have more to do with jealousy.

Dag (Bleness) is finishing school, and needs a top grade to get into medical school. He takes private lessons with the French teacher (Nordseth), and a romantic relation develops between the two. Karin (Røising) is in love with Dag, and waits for the relationship to end, while Roald (Merton) is in love with Karin.
