Kasper (Odd-Kristian Wilhelmsen) is a wornup standup. He don't get audience, he can't come up with new material. And theen, when you think everything just can't get any worse, he get message from his doctor about the big "c". Nevermind that his girlfriend dumps him when his about to tell her. So Kasper has to adjust to the worst news ever. His agent and best friend, transsexual Kjell Elisabeth (Øystein Martinsen),is so transfixed on his own "problems", he hardly get the cancer message when they talk. Petter Næss has a great track record for making movies about hard subjects. No less here, were Kasper goes trough all emotions, and in the end kind of accepts what has happened, and adjust to make the best of it. May be offputting for some, but I've experienced the same, and can easy relate. Great performances by Wilhelmsen and my old friend, Øystein Martinsen. It's a sad, funny and thought provoking movie with some words of wisdom. You're not the centre of the universe, but can make your own legacy. Almost pitch perfect, and reminded me somewhat of the beautiful "The Butterfly & The Diving Bell"
