Set in a small Danish town, 14‑year‑old Niels lives for handball. His coach, recognizing his goal‑keeping talent, mentors him. Before the qualification round for the national finals, the coach throws a team party and lets Niels and his girlfriend Pernille use his bedroom. Niels falls asleep, and unexpected events put pressure on him on and off the court.
