The year is 1985. Henki Hauge Karlsen is a 28-year-old gay bartender who is fired after disclosing that he is infected with HIV. Furious and humiliated, he decides to take legal action.
What he believed would be a fight for justice, transforms into a three-year ordeal where his life is exposed to the Norwegian public, leading to his most intimate moments and overall character being branded as disgraceful and abnormal. In the end, Henki triumphs in the Supreme Court, but dies shortly after the verdict.
His struggle for justice becomes a testament for many who follow him, marking him as one of the great everyday heroes of modern times and an idol for countless members of the LGBTQ+ community who live openly and freely today.
