The young Scandinavian women Helene, Marte, Pauline and Wilde are fat, and they’re not ashamed of it. They’re part of a growing fat-activism movement that fights for body positivity and inclusivity. The message is that you’re beautiful just as you are.

They demand respect and recognition in a diet-fixated society while struggling with their lack of self-worth. For too long they have put their lives on hold. Waited to buy clothes, go out dancing and find love – until the day they would be skinny. The day never came. But they found each other and the body positive movement. Now they set their rolls and wobbly thighs free and use their bodies as activist tools. With the provocative tone of feminism and an artistic approach to the natural beauty of the body this film will change the way we view bodies. It is a film about shame and uprising but also a humorous and heart-warming journey with a bunch of young, energetic women.
