The Worst Person in the World

Julie (Renate Reinsve) is turning thirty and her life is a mess. Overwhelmed by the many options open to her, she can't make a decision either professionally or privately. She cancels her medical studies, starts psychology, then suddenly photography seems to be the right thing for her. She works in a bookshop and has various lovers. Then she falls in love with Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie), ten years her senior, who is already working successfully as a graphic novel author. But the age difference and Aksel's desire to have children soon lead to tensions in the relationship. Julie is not yet ready to settle down and is always on the lookout for something new. One evening she happens to be at a wedding party and mingles with the guests. There she meets Eivind (Herbert Nordrum). Although the two are not unfaithful to their respective partners that evening, there is a spark. It is not long before Julie breaks up with Aksel. Hoping for a fresh perspective on her life, she throws herself into a new relationship with Eivind and moves in with him. But Aksel does not completely disappear from her life.
