Óskar (39) and Maggi (37) are brothers, social and easy going. Both are longing for love but have a hard time nurturing close relationships. A problem they deal with in different ways. Óskar keeps all women at an arm’s length while Maggi goes through a non-discriminative stream of short lived relationships.The veterinary Anna (39) is facing a life changing decision that Óskar unwittingly influences. The young wanna-be artist Ingibjörg tries to become a grown-up as fast as she can and the 13-year-old friends Danni T and Danni M plod on with their daily life, which increasingly takes place in Óskar’s house.
