Kampen for tilværelsen gaat over de taalkundige Tomasz Novak die van Warschau naar Noorwegen reist om in zijn ogen snel geld op te halen bij een vader die hij nog nooit heeft ontmoet. Zijn project blijkt tijd te kosten en gaandeweg raakt hij steeds meer geïntegreerd in de Noorse samenleving, vertegenwoordigd door een bevoorrechte en goedbedoelende groep burgers, die ons op hun beurt een beeld geven van hoe we het momenteel in Noorwegen doen.
