Filmmaker Vilgot Sjoman is making a movie with twenthy-two-year old drama student and his sometimes sexual partner Lena Nyman. Under the guise of the "Nyman Institute", Lena surveya a broad spectrum of Swedes on issues including sex, sexual pursuit, the class system and the role of meritocracy in it, the prison system, and religion in her quest for social justice. Having grown up with her divorced father, Vilgot sends her on a quest for her long lost mother, who Lena has heard has remarried with a young son who she's never met. That quest turns into a further want for social justice and a sexual awakening in meeting others along the way.
