Fixed Ideas is the story of Espen and Emilie. He is a literary critic, she is a young, promising culture journalist, both for the same paper. They sleep with each other after a work party and from there, we follow the two of them and hear the relationship between Espen and Emilie told from two completely different viewpoints. Fixed Ideas is a restless, effective story of desire, gender and longing, and is about the fundamental loneliness and constant, gnawing self-awareness which threaten our ability to let our masks slip.
