Somewhere in Sweden, a gigantic dumpster breaks free from a heavy chain suspended underneath a big helicopter. The dumpster hits the ground with a formidable crash and the garbage spouts out into the surroundings. Meanwhile, an aging Roma woman wakes up in her house with an extremely strong desire to get her old wall clock back. The clock has been at the clockmaker's for over a year, and now the old woman intensely feels that it needs to come home. She calls one of her grandchildren who answers in another part of the country and solemnly promises to bring the clock back to her. Two days later, three Roma youths climb into a car in order to take the wall clock to their grandmother who lives 1030 km south of them. A strange journey along Sweden's long, winding highways begins and it proves to be rich in content despite the rather trivial purpose. The three youths have more questions than answers about the country they're traveling through for the first time. And what is a Garbage Helicopter? Really...?
