Pertter Primus is a fourth generation mountain resort hotel owner; hes born and raised far up in the Norwegian mountains and lives there with his wife and daughter. Primus is a bit more racist than most, and is hopeless with money. Since the tourists havent been coming to the mountains any more, he decides to go into the business of running a state-funded asylum reception center. But its not going to be as easy as he first expected. Because along with 50 unruly refugees, most of them Muslims and Arabic-speakers, comes Abedi, an endlessly annoying optimist from Congo. He annoys the hell out of Primus, but eventually Abedi changes Primuss life completely.
And in the end he has to make a choice: his friend or the money.

Petter Primus is a man with big plans, but things rarely turn out the way he hopes. At risk of losing both his hotel and family, he gets an idea that will save it all: he converts the hotel into a refugee asylum center, despite his general skepticism toward foreigners. But when the first bus loaded with asylum seekers arrives at his shabby hotel the challenges begin. Fifty freezing refugees, one over-enthusiastic African, the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, a depressed wife and a teenage daughter quickly become more than he can handle.
