Kitchen Stories

During the rapid expansion of the welfare state in the 50s, a Swedish social anthropologist is assigned to document the kitchen routines of a Norwegian loner. Rational objectivity is the order of the day, but confronted with a real human being causes the scientist to re-evaluate things.
