"It's simple! We do as we're told." This disconcerting reply comes from a Swedish employment office employee when asked how the country’s most unpopular government agency works. And that’s not all: in this creative documentary, case workers, receptionists and psychologists reveal how the Swedish employment system is failing. They complain about inadequate software and mystifying error messages, excessive caseloads and demoralizing results—on average, each case worker helps just 10 people find work each year, and only one in 10 clients will find a new job. To assure the anonymity of the interviewees, they're all represented by cardboard puppets. Thanks to visible puppeteers, expressive eyes and recognizable gestures, these puppets quickly take on the appearance of real people. The result is a fascinating, comical and artistic study of human strategies to get along in an irrational bureaucracy.

„God dag, alle sammen. Hva heter Du?“ 20 Berliner Bauarbeiter lernen Norwegisch und drücken noch einmal die Schulbank. Sie wollen in das Land der Fjorde auswandern, weil sie in Deutschland keine Arbeit mehr finden. In Norwegen sind deutsche Handwerker gefragt, und so haben sich die Männer entschlossen, dorthin zu gehen. Sie lernen acht Wochen lang jeden Tag die fremde Sprache. Das Arbeitsamt bezahlt ihnen den Sprachkurs, eine Jobagentur vermittelt sie an einen norwegischen Arbeitgeber. So planen sie, ihre Heimat zu verlassen. Vielleicht für ein paar Jahre, vielleicht für immer.

Julia Eriksson is a 25 year old girl who has been working in different service occupations, like most young people. Although she is indeed educated, she can't get a real job in her profession due to the current situation on the job market. When she is once again unemployed after a short deputy job, she decides to attend to her situation herself - she is starting her own business. Whilst not having any real money to begin with, she turns to the government's employment agency to apply for a grant to start her own company, a service available in special circumstances in Sweden.
