Fúsi is 43 years old and still lives with his mother. His life is based on monotony: he works at the airport where he unloads luggage and patiently suffers biting remarks about his obesity from his colleagues; in the evenings, he builds scale models in his garage, and goes to the very same Chinese restaurant and orders the same meal, every Friday. Persuaded by his mother and her partner, he enrols in a course of line dancing, during which he meets Sjöfn. She will change a lot in his life.
