Thirty-year-old Viktor Leth, sheltered all his life by his overly fearful mother and living through old Danish films, is thrust into reality when she dies and he seeks out the estranged father he believes to be a jazz musician, just to find Charlie running a failing insurance company instead. Discovering Viktor’s uncanny knack for the business, Charlie enlists him to save the firm just as Viktor falls for the perpetually unlucky Josefine.

It is a special day for Victor: He is going out. Today he is going on his first date. His mom’s friend arranged it. It was about time, they all agreed; he needed to get out more, see the world. And she was right: Everything is new and incredible. Everything works according to logic that he has yet to uncover. All is so perfect, it is almost like a dream.
