Plot summary
Anders is a patient at a rehab clinic in Oslo, and the staff there grant him a day's leave to travel into the city for a job interview as an editorial assistant. Before the appointment he visits his old friend Thomas, who lives with Rebekka and their two children. Anders also calls Iselin, a woman he was with during the years of his drug use, and reaches only her voicemail. At the interview, questions about the gaps in his resume make him say plainly that he was a drug addict, and the meeting breaks apart. He is to see his sister Nina later in the day.
