Uffe is his family's patriarch psychologist and self-appointed God, who rules the roost in his dressing gown and underwear. Changes threaten the peace when Uffe realises he's terminally ill and decides to write his memoirs. The family home is suddenly filled with Uffe's loyal patients offerring him moral support and drunken companionship. But for his sons to break free of their father's tyrannical rule and grow up will require a final, inevitable showdown with "God".
