In this recent film, renowned for his extraordinary and distinctive sense of humor, contrary to that of ordinary comedies, Norwegian director Bent Hamer, takes the audience into the world of Marie, an urban scientist. Having dedicated her life to her work at the Norwegian Metrology Service, where her father also works, Marie finds herself at an international calibration conference in Paris when her father becomes ill. The life of the hypercritical woman who participates in the conference for the first time changes when she meets Pi, a suave and philosophical man.
