1979 is ending, the 80’s are approaching – rapidly.
Carl and Robert – two slacker best friends who smoke hashish as a way of cheerful living - have been peddling hashish for a decade, hitting an all time high with this last batch: 45 Kilos of pure, high grade Nepalese Hashish destined for the draught-dry Oslo streets. In their own eyes they are not criminals – they simply provide the life-essential drug to a suffering population. But then Glenn comes along, their friend and ambitious financial-backer-destined-to-be-a-yuppie. He has plans to make this deal even bigger than they have been led to believe.
Following the delivery of the hashish, the police are on their tail for heroin-smuggling – a fact they cannot explain as they both hate heroin and would never touch the drug. Finally they both awake from their self-induced haze, and fight back in a hilarious, suspenseful and dramatic ending.
It's the end of the 70's. The hippie era is fading, and the yuppie era is dawning in the distant future. Carl is pushing hashish to the free spirits in town, and believes his illegal activities constitute a kind of mission. Carl's needs are not many, and he is happy as long as everything stays the way it's always been. The greater his shock and despair when his best mate Robert one day finds the woman of his life, and claims that pushing hashish may not necessarily be a future oriented occupation. The film aims at projecting a clear image of a society, of a way of thinking, and of a transformation, which serve as a backdrop for a universal story about friendship, love, and assuming responsibility for oneself and others.
The script, based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s cult slacker novel, is a dark comedy story with a crooked view on the époque where the dreamy 70s met the hard 80s.
