Hedi, Uli and their son have life sorted out. They take each day as it comes, all the while dreaming of the future. Suddenly, Hedi becomes stuck and her life breaks down. In a last-ditch attempt to save their love, they take a trip to Norway.
With a light touch and tender humor, the director explores what happens when normal life suddenly comes to an end in her second feature narrative, Hedi Scneider Is Stuck.
