Iben and her boyfriend Alex are among the leading figures at the Youth House in Copenhagen; a sanctuary for the city's young people who do not fit in elsewhere. When the Copenhagen Municipality suddenly sells the house to the religious sect, Faderhuset, they and the other young residents come under immense pressure. While Iben tries to draw the attention of politicians and the press, Alex joins a faction of the house that no longer believes in peaceful solutions.
