The film is a comedy drama about a young woman, Laura, who has distanced herself from her family in the country to settle in Copenhagen as an author and live the artistic bohemian life she has always dreamed of. When she, with much reluctance, goes back home for her brother’s wedding, she realises that he is about to marry her childhood enemy, Catrine. At the same time, Laura finds out that Catrine has in fact taken over her place in the family – and what if Laura wants it back … A film about how we, no matter how hard we try, cannot escape from our past, nor from our roots.

Else is stood up by her daughter and instead finds herself in the company of two other middle-aged women at a seaside hotel, where a very different day takes shape. Everyone in the unlikely trio has their own problems that make it difficult to see clearly and make the right decisions, and Else in particular must decide whether she wants to live life to the fullest. Perhaps life doesn't have to be so boring, even if you're over 60.

In 1963, a business adventure begins in a basement in a small Danish town. Within a few years, the company has 3500 employees, many of them women who are experiencing for the first time the joys and challenges of earning their own money.
