Young Synnøve really has it all: a good job, a nice flat and a boyfriend on his way up. But behind a perfect facade she's lonely, and in a destructive relationship. One night she leaves her boyfriend and the city and go back North, to her child hood home. She must get away, and find herself. But does she dare to do what's necessary? A though provoking road movie about running away from love and commitment, and about finding a way out of being stuck in difficulties.
