Mans and Roro are in their twenties and best friends. They both work for the parks department. Roro is of Arab origin and, without his parents knowing, has a Swedish girlfriend. He has been planning to introduce her to his family for a long time, but doesn't get around to it. Just when he is ready to, the family has arranged a marriage for him. They want him to marry a Lebanese-Swedish girl, who doesn't want to either. Yet they make a pact, because otherwise she is in danger of being sent back to Lebanon. Mans also has his problems. For instance he can't get his rope to rise, despite a variety of aids.
