The letter tells, among other things, about the father's youthful love for the mysterious "orange girl" (appelsinpiken), and leaves a mystery for Georg to solve.
Former childhood friends Christian and Erland, now in their late 20s, are confronted with their own adolescence as they go searching for Christian's estranged little brother in a scene they're not familiar with - contemporary youth culture.
A recovering drug addict is granted a day’s leave from rehab and returns to Oslo, where he reconnects with friends, faces the weight of his past, and struggles with uncertainty about his future. Over the course of one day, he drifts through encounters that reflect his longing for connection and his deep sense of alienation.
Scene from a relationship: # 2 is a film about questions one don't really want to know the answer to.
