Ola is 30 years old and lives with many different people in the small village of Vidaråsen outside Tønsberg. Here they live close to nature, at a slower pace and the small community is founded on inclusion, understanding and respect. Ola mostly thrives, and is a committed, funny and honest guy. And then there was one more thing: Ola has a mild developmental disability. He talks openly and with wonder about this, but wonders if people primarily see him as a person with a diagnosis? When Ola loses an important piece in his life, he reflects on life and what he can do to become more independent. This portrait is sweet, charming and with a lot of heart.
