The year is 1967. A new youth culture is on the rise. The race for space is at its peak and the dream of liberation is winning over everything. In Nørrebro, the two inseparable brothers, Elmer, 10, and Erik, 13, are removed from their sick mother and placed in the Gudbjerg orphanage, where time stands still. The director has his own philosophies and regulations. Here, unruly boys must become obedient citizens of society at all costs. From the very first day, the brothers understand that they have lost their freedom, and a daily struggle for survival begins.
