During a cold winter night in Copenhagen, private detective Hamse Leth finds himself amidst a mid-life crisis while attending his former fiancée's wedding. Struggling to find meaning in his life and confronted by the cultural restrict rules of Scandinavian society, especially the Jante Law culture of equality and sameness, Hamse begins to deconstruct his own character through the lens of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
