Sven, a middle-aged chef, works in a restaurant kitchen in Gothenburg. The rest of the restaurant staff consists of noble immigrants. Sven is shy and basically a decent guy who loves to talk about how he prepares his mayonnaise. He finds it difficult to make contact with women, and it is precisely his shyness that causes him to sometimes resort to quite aggressive jokes to overcome it. Such, with a racist edge, are directed in particular at a newly hired black waitress, Connie, who, without knowing the job, constantly drops her plates of laid out dishes on her way from the kitchen to the canteen. Sven gets annoyed with her at the same time as he is attracted to her. Clumsily he seeks contact and takes her into confidence.
