Norwegian comedy drama that explores the friendship between two aspiring writers and their struggles with rejection, success, fame, relationships, writer's block, and clinical depression. Mixing wry voice-over narration with wish-fulfillment fantasy montage, the film follows punk rockers Phillip (Anders Danielsen Lie) and Erik (Espen Klouman-Hoiner) as they decide to submit their respective manuscripts to local book publishers. Erik is less confident of his literary abililities, while Philip is, at least on the surface, more confident in his and Erik's work. Erik's suspicions are confirmed, however, when the publisher rejects his manuscript and accepts Phillip's novel. Erik questions whether he should give up and find another profession and then Phillip has a psychotic episode...
