As the series begins, Rita’s 15 year old son Jeppe announces that he is gay after failing to pleasure his girlfriend when she tells him that she is ready to go all the way for the first time. He starts looking for gay boyfriends, but has to be helped by his straight older brother. Simultaneously, Rita is assigned to teach the 9th grade sex education classes. She secretly spends long hours at night studying the porn websites on her son’s computer, so she can be a “good Danish mother” and also explain homosexuality to her students…
