When a wannabe soccer mom leaves a scattering review about a drive-through, it sparks a chain of events that leave an aspiring writer without a job and a government official in a fierce rivalry with his co-worker. These three upper middle-class people, feeling mistreated by the world, go to extreme lengths to win in life. Gunda is trying her best to earn a spot to a writer’s residency in Oslo. Armands is trying to get a rarely opened job position. But Hilda – a first place trophy for her 14-year-old daughter Sofia. As their desire to win sets their world into chaos, they soon will have to learn that – no matter what you have, you will always want more.
