SYNOPSIS

Hiding behind his glasses, Hlynur, the anti-hero of this mad-cap comedy, is determined to avoid adulthood at all costs. At 28 years old, he still lives with his mother, who nags him every now and then, but generally lets him get away with everything. With his off-centre humour, Hlynur has absolutely no aim in life, and no intention of getting one, either. In the evenings, he meets up with his friends in the trendy bars of Reykjavik's 101 quarter. Despite his numerous sexual conquests, women, as far as Hlynur is concerned, are creatures from a foreign planet best avoided during daylight hours. However, his life won't remain this simple for much longer...
