Affected by the powerful images in the pamphlet “Om kriget kommer” (“If the war comes”), farmhand Karl-Göran Persson begins fortifying his house. Through years of harvesting scrap-metal, he transforms the house into a fortress, meant to protect him and his neighbors when the enemy attacks. Despite the lack of understanding and sympathy from his neighbors and people from the surrounding villages, he continues building, without pause until his death. The difference between his own sense of impending doom and the perceptions of the people around him gradually blur as the film progresses.

All around us, there lives a group of “invisibles,” people who are only perceivable via a camera. We meet two of them: Tuomas is a single parent to his daughter who is the only person in the world seeing him normally. Ninni is a young woman in an emerging online relationship, meeting her crush for the first time “in real life.”
In combination with these parallel stories, the film uses street footage and testimonies from other “invisibles” to reflect on questions of loneliness, visibility and perception. Our world is exposed as one where the prosaic and the poetic, the factual and the imaginary, live together.
