The story unfolds in the upscale home of the Christiansson family during dinner preparations. Niclas, presumably the husband and father, is in the kitchen cooking while his wife Maja is in the bathroom taking a bath. However, Maja is not merely relaxing; she's engaged in an adulterous activity via her mobile phone. She's exchanging 'kinky messages,' causing her to be delayed for their family dinner with their daughter waiting impatiently. Even when her phone battery dies, Maja can't bring herself to stop.
