Plot

The series depicts Karl, Nils and Henry, three friends who live together in the suburbs in a house owned by Karl. The first episode depicts Karl getting fired from his job, and subsequently getting divorced. After the divorce, Nils, one of Karl's old colleagues, moves in with him, before Henry, a door-to-door salesman, completes the trio.

Karl eventually befriends Målfrid, who later becomes his girlfriend, and she moves in with them in Season 4. Eventually, Nils also gets a girlfriend, Trine, and she moves in as well in mid-season 5. Nils' mother Elna is a recurring character in the series, making appearances since season 1.

In the last episode of the series, Henry and Elna get married and move to Spain, Nils and Trine are expecting children and move into Elna's old apartment, and Målfrid moves to Africa. Karl ends up moving into a new apartment in the first episode of the series' spin-off "Karl & Co".

In 1999 a straight-to-video movie entitled "Tusenårsfesten" (The Millennium Party) was released, bringing together the main characters from both "Mot i Brøstet" and "Karl & Co" (with the exception of Hilde Lyrån). It was aired on TV 2 in 2000.
