    • Synopsis
    • Robert runs his own detective office, but never gets any cases. It is hard to be a private investigator with Down’s Syndrome. But this time a case comes Robert's way. The legendary skater Olav Starr is missing, and his family urgently needs an incompetent detective to pacify an affluent and senile grandmother.
      They're in for a big surprise when Robert reveals his special investigation method, discovering hidden facts within the family. He soon senses the family's despair, and gradually finds himself entangled in Olav's misguided life. His assignment is not without danger, but eventually they all have to acknowledge that Robert is not as stupid as they assumed.
