Ingelise and Herluf have been happily married for many years. Their marriage has become more of a routine arrangement and Ingelise has secretly been having an affair with a colleague at work. She is also busily preparing their daughter Gitte's third wedding, while Herluf is doing all he can in order to fulfill his responsibilities as a dutiful husband, father and mechanic - even if he could do without the hassle and work of the impending wedding. Herluf starts forgetting things and one day, he hands a fixed car over to a customer, without the brakes working. The car crashes shortly afterwards. Herluf is in shock, and then one day, he does not come home. Nobody knows where he is and Ingelise and the whole family discover how much they miss him, how little they know about Herluf, and how much he means to them.
