Petter uteligger: Idretten Skaper Sjanser
Documentary creator Petter Nyquist gets to know people with substance abuse challenges or mental problems in four different sports environments, which is part of the project «Sport creates chances». Can something as mundane as doing sports help someone who is struggling back to society? Here Petter gets close to the lives of Line and Richard in the cycling group, Anita in the equestrian group, Ole Magnus and Carine on the football team and Morten in the ski group. He follows them in everyday life and in sports for a year, and sees how sport affects their lives.

Line and Richard are preparing to celebrate Christmas with the children for the first time since they lost custody. The honeymoon days of Carina and Ole Magnus come to an abrupt end when a termination of the apartment dumps in the mailbox and awakens old traumas.
