Plot

Brit's mother and father are divorced. Brit lives with her mother in Oslo, but she feels strongly attracted to her father. She is no longer allowed to visit him because he has remarried to a cabaret singer. Her father is a composer, and her mother wants to keep her daughter away from this artistic environment. However, Brit wants to go to her father. During her summer vacation, she escapes from the children's camp. She hikes along a country road and gets a ride with a scrap dealer. He understands that something is troubling Brit and wants to help her. Brit leaves him, and she gets a ride from an engineer. After that, she trudges alone on a shortcut through the forest, experiences strange things, and finally reaches her father's somewhat remote cottage. Her father's new wife is not the kind of person that Brit's mother said she is. Brit's problems with adults become increasingly complex.
