Do achievements make us feel bad even if we end up getting everything we ever wanted? This is the paradoxical human state that Johannes, a young psychology student, sees exploited by place of internship. Diagnoses, colourful pills in blister foil, prescription drugs and doctors visits scheduled a year ahead. Among his internship supervisor’s patients are Rose, shattered by her intimate trauma; Markus, weighed down by crying fits; Emily, struggling with ADHD; and the explosive performance artist Rakel. Inspired by Johannes’s spontaneous idea, the colorful group of patients forms a dance therapy community – from now on, they will ease the pain without pills or prescriptions, only through movement and music. That is, until the third component enters the mix: Johannes’ feelings for Raquel.

Movie is in Swedish with subtitles in English.
