FUSIL
Fusi, an introverted forty-something, still lives with his overprotective mother. He spends his days working at an airport and playing with models recreating famous battles. On his birthday, his mother gives him a voucher to attend a dance school. There he meets Sjöfn, another lonely soul like him. The encounter with this vital woman and an eight-year-old girl forces him to take the big leap.
