Swedish efficiency researchers come to Norway for a study of Norwegian men, to optimize their use of their kitchen. Folke Nilsson (Tomas Norström) is assigned to study the habits of Isak Bjørvik (Joachim Calmeyer). By the rules of the research institute, Folke has to sit on an umpire's chair in Isak's kitchen and observe him from there, but never talk to him. Isak stops using his kitchen and observes Folke through a hole in the ceiling instead. However, the two lonely men slowly overcome the initial post-war Norwegian-Swede distrust and become friends.

Tomas Norstrom and Joachim Calmeyer will never be big stars, but there's more personality and skill in their performances in this genial comedy of manners than you'll find in a year's worth of mainstream pulp.

En historie uden nogen nævneværdig handling, men med så stort og lunt et hjerte, at man må overgive sig til skæve charme og oprigtigheden under den kunstige overflade.
