Right now more than 100,000 young Norwegians between the ages of 19 and 29 are engaged in neither work nor studies. In DROPOUT we meet Danielle, Darie and Tiffany, who for different reasons find themselves in this situation. With empathy and insight, director Kristin Heien gives us a glimpse into some of the lives behind the statistics, and helps us understand why some people have a harder time adjusting to the demands of society than others. The result is a thought-provoking humanist documentary which offers valuable perspectives on modern-day Norway and lets us see the unemployment numbers in a new light.
