Springet' is about Tobias Jacobsen, who is 42 years old and head of an insurance company. He lives a normal life with his lovely wife Ruth. When Tobias is told that he has a fatal disease, the message comes so unexpectedly that it feels as if the earth is opening under him, and he crashes into an abyss. This fall sensation gives Tobias associations an experience he had as a 13-year-old when the neighbor's daughter, Ida, enticed him to jump out of a balcony with a parasol as a parachute. Tobias gradually realizes that the life he is given is about trusting himself and giving the miracle a chance. And that even the blackest humor helps.
