Alex is an inveterate loafer with dreams of being in the theatre, who takes no responsibility for himself or those closest to him, and his life is anything but under control.
When his girlfriend Lisa eventually gets fed up and chucks him out onto the street, Alex is forced to look for a job in order to survive. All of a sudden, he finds himself working as an assistant to a troop of mentally handicapped people at a group living facility with inflexible routines, endless courses in how to tie your shoelaces, and, above all, lots of very bored individuals.
Following a disastrous start with muddled schedules, angry reprimands from his boss, and an emergency visit from the fire department, Alex gradually starts to tune in to the warm and charming individuals around him. Beneath their handicaps and medication, they are bounding with energy, full of dreams, fun-loving spirit, and unexpected talent.
Alex and his new friends face an uphill battle as they struggle to overcome preconceived notions, angry and anxious families, and a prejudiced environment in order to achieve their goal – to take part in the national hit TV show The Talent Hunt. This feisty bunch has tied their last shoelace!

Enšpígl keeps on complaining. Someone recommended the movie to him, but who would have thought the Scandinavians would produce a very average comedy drama. And they had such an interesting premise to start from. But all in all, I don’t think it was all that bad, even though things could have been better. That bunch of mongoloids was great at times, but they suffered from the plot itself that was headed in direction I simply didn’t enjoy. I mean bits of the movie were good, but the whole thing was utterly mediocre. And if you get your hopes up, you might even end up getting pissed about it, just like Enšpígl did. :)
