Pørni is a heartfelt and darkly funny Norwegian drama about the everyday chaos of modern life, love, and family. At the center stands Pernille “Pørni” Middelthon, a social worker and single mother, juggling her demanding job with the equally overwhelming responsibilities at home.

The series begins after Pørni loses her sister in a tragic accident, leaving her to care not only for her two teenage daughters but also her young nephew. In the midst of her grief, she must navigate parenthood, family dynamics, romance, and work—all while trying to keep her own identity and sense of humor intact.
