kurt Quo Vadis?
Norwegian title: Kurt quo vadis?
Kurt is overcome by an uncomfortable inferiority complex. He quits his job in order to do something with his life. He wants to leave a trace after himself, and consequently decides to vacuum clean the whole world to make it all neat and tidy. Unfortunately, Kurt’s idea is not as good as he anticipated, and gradually he grows increasingly confused. But with the help of his youngest son Bud, it all turns out quite well in the end.
