Hallstein and Sissel live with their parents on a small farm. That spring night they will be alone at home for the first time while their parents are in a funeral in another village. But when they are about to eat supper, there is a knock at the door. Outside stands a foreign family who need help. Their car has broken down and a young woman among them will give birth. They need space, beds and a midwife. Eventually they will have conflicts with them.
