In autumn 2012, Alexander Salzberger's autobiographical monologue Kicktorsken premiered at Backa teater in Gothenburg. It will be a success with both critics and audiences. Kickcod depicts a young man's life journey edged by addiction, despair and euphoria and is at the same time a story about the search for love and confirmation. In 2013, Alexander received the offer to stage the monologue at Unga Dramaten in Stockholm. This film follows his journey.
