A large IKEA store opens in the Norwegian city of Esen , and local furniture maker Harold loses orders. Six months later, he was forced to close his shop, his wife dying (she suffered from Alzheimer's disease ). Harold is trying to commit suicide by starting a fire in a store, but he manages to leave when the fire protection system turns on. First, he visits his son Ian in Oslo , who lost his job and is in a bad relationship with his wife, rather quickly he decides to leave. In revenge for his ruined life, Harold wants to kidnap the founder of IKEA Ingvar Kamprad . For this, he goes to Almhult , a small village in Sweden, where the first IKEA was opened. There he meets a seventeen-year-old girl Ebbu who is trying to leave home because of her relationship with her mother. She supports Harold ^[1] .

Accidentally, Ingvar Kamprad gets into Harold's car, who asks to bring him to the store, as his car broke down. Harold kidnaps the businessman and first keeps him in his room, then he and Ebba take him to the trailer in the forest. After keeping some time hostage to Kamprad, Harold releases him, and he returns Ebbu home. On the way back, it turns out that Kamprad hid in his car and they go to a local furniture store. There, Harold stops Kamprad from burning his store. Then the founder of the company goes to bed in the store, and Harold returns to his son in Oslo.

The film is criticized by Cinemascandinavia in a series of Norwegian black comedies of recent years in which Norwegians are fighting against external offenders (for example, “ Foolish deed is simple ”). He also notes that the script does not completely follow the classic film schemes - the capture of the founder of IKEA takes place in the first half hour of the film. The critic highly appreciated the play of actors and the connection between the three main characters ^[3] .
