Plot
Indiana lives in a lower-class apartment block. She has a beautiful tree, which unfortunately is foreign, so the environment department tells her it has to be removed. She is falsely claiming disability pension for herself and her 39 year old son Unnar. Unnar gets a girlfriend Daniela, who is Polish, and Indiana is racist. Indiana tries to sabotage the romance. Unnar is seen on TV after rescuing some tourists, apparently he is quite fit, and has to pay back the support payments. For Christmas dinner, Unnar brings his grandmother from the nursing home, and we learn of Indiana's strained relationship with her mother. Daniela has had enough of Indiana's control over her son, and ends the relationship.
