They live together in a collective in the countryside and engage in illegal activism at night. In the end, they are arrested by the police, and the authorities use the case to blacken both them and the case as much as possible.[3] The leading roles are played by Henrik Mestad, Anneli Drecker, Bjarte Hjelmeland, Guro Sibeko, Bettina Banoun, and Bjørn Sundquist.
