Hansen’s marriage is a loving work relationship. He and his wife Hanne are business partners: he does the boxing and she does everything else, from housekeeping to negotiating contracts and stitching up split eyebrows. But Hansen’s fear of boxing makes him unable to hold up his end, and the family suffers as the bank is threatening to seize the house.
