Synopsis:
Dino is dreaming of another life. Just like 80,000 other young Swedes she has fled the mass unemployment of Sweden to find a new life in Oslo. But pretty soon she is caught up in a destructive spiral surviving on little cash, irregular work and hard partying. After breaking her arm she gets fired from another job and unexpectedly lands work as a housekeeper. All three occupants of the house fall under her reckless charm. The young unsuspecting daughter, the teenage girl desperate for attention, and the father - alone and lonely due to his wife’s working abroad. What Dino doesn't count on, is falling in love. In fact, none of them count on it.
