Välkommen till den här världen

Greta gnaws her fingernails, sells woks for a living in Malmö and fills a diary with injuries invisible to everyone else. Asthmatic, she daydreams about stampeding horses rather than reach for her inhaler, and her flatmates in the collective are vain, spineless young men who treat bead mosaics as high art. Longing for her life to change, she runs into Simon, an art worker in Copenhagen with a gift for triangles, who has been out of step with the world ever since a childhood reading of Wuthering Heights. Simon brings along Claus, a fan of concept art who lives at a frantic pace. On the two sides of the Öresund the three of them make a triangle that can only shatter, leaving one of them out.
