Love, sickness, health and exam anxiety at a Danish hospital in the 50íes. Erik (Morten Hee Andersen) and Anna (Molly Blixt Egelind) are among the first to be accepted into a nursing school with men and women being trained together.

It is not easy for the men to be accepted as nurses in an working environment with oldfashioned hierarchies and strict disciplinary work ethics.
