Ingrid and Jan have been married for twenty-five years and, on paper, they are exemplary baby boomers: stable employment, healthy children, good friends, occasional but regular sex, a house in a nice Oslo neighborhood. They live as society has told them to live, fulfilling their role as contributors to a "vague and elusive gross domestic product", but failing to rid themselves of a feeling of inertia and disappointment. Their children, who are old enough to be treated as adults, behave like hotel guests. For Ingrid, both domestic life and the teaching profession have lost the shine they once had. Jan, on the other hand, feels invigorated by his unexpected promotion to head of department in a government ministry and by his love affair with Hanne, a co-worker fifteen years his junior who sees all her friends start to settle down as she chains removals. floor and couple.
