A young woman follows her partner to the folk high school in Velling, West Jutland, where he has a teaching job. With a newborn son, driving lessons and the advice column of the local newspaper to manage, she puzzles over how to talk to the grocer, what locals think in the long pauses between their few words, and why the students are always so cheerful.
