Unemployed journalist Jimmy Olsson is going through a life crisis and turns to art, but discovers that all cultural institutions have closed down.

Accompanied by the artist Anna Odell, he gets the idea to create a documentary that not only depicts the dismantling of culture but also articulates the importance of art.
