A young woman, Lena, walks around interviewing people about their opinions on equality, welfare, socialism, class society, democracy and other major issues. Even prime minister Olof Palme gets Lena’s curious microphone under his nose... During the course of her research she meets Börje, he becomes her "bedmate no 24", according to her meticulously kept records.
