Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Young MALTHE (16) arrives at his new job in a COOP supermarket, where he is warmly greeted by his new manager. At first everything seems to be going smoothly, but suddenly things start to take a turn for the worse. As The First Day spirals out of control Malthe is put into increasingly difficult and bizarre situations - ultimately resulting in his body being found in a meat freezer - by himself. Luckily it was all a bad dream and Malthe snaps back to reality. The day hasn't even started yet.
