Window cleaner Bent A. Pedersen, with his indomitable spirit, lives with his friend Sigfred because he can't stand his neurotic wife and disabled son. When a boy accidentally smashes the side mirror of his new car, Bent follows him to get his father to pay for the damage. A pretty but fragile single mother, whom Bent thinks resembles Ingrid Bergman, opens the door, and life in Amager is never the same again.
