K-G has lost his foothold in life. He has no energy, doesn’t know what he wants, and cannot work anymore. His wife Birgitta doesn’t understand him. She works as a course-leader in personal development, and tries to teach her husband the same techniques she is teaching employees from various companies. She talks about the importance of positive thinking, of formulating concrete goals for oneself, of making time schedules, of focusing and so on. But K-G cannot grasp this. In the group she is training at the moment, she has found another man, Anders, with whom she experiences various sexual games in a hotel room. At the same time K-G is worried about the bad health of their dog Nestor. He takes Nestor to a veterinary, who says that there is nothing to do but to destroy the dog. When this is done K-G tries to get in touch with his wife, only to find her in bed with her lover. Totally lost he walks into a pond, where he lies down in the mud. Some musicians passing by ask him about the way to the local pub, where they are going to play. When he tells them he is a drummer himself, they persuade him to play with them this evening. Birgitta is in the pub with her group. When she sees her husband at the drums, she leaves Anders and starts an ecstatic dance on her own.
