Plot
Lasse Jager, a salesman at a Danish convenience store, decides to move to the fictional village of Raker, Minnesota, home to a large Danish diaspora. Lasse meets and marries an American woman, and returns with her to Denmark. However, unbeknownst to him, they are filming a sitcom called "Sirup" in the convenience store he works at, which parodies the store's workers - including him. Lasse must decide if he wants to star in the sitcom as an actor, or take it to the police, while also having to deal with a man who is a regular at the store, but later finds out that he is a rapist who escaped from prison.
