Herbert and Bitten live in a lovely house, happily married with two children. Herbert is a teacher at a secondary school, and he writes poetry in his spare time. Bitten is an engineer at a tie factory. Their home only functions thanks to their housekeeper, Mrs. Jørgensen. When Mrs. Jørgensen is confronted with her greatest fear—a live mouse—she leaves the home, never to return. Now there is only one thing to do: Herbert must give up his job and become a stay-at-home dad.
