Gripping thriller drama with fantastic all-star cast: Six different stories about crooks, misfits, heroes and their determination to overcome the destiny. Stories about intolerance, hopelessness, betrayal, despair, and the unpredictable.

When the owner of a fish store dies unexpectedly, a dispute breaks out over his inheritance. The youngest son continues to run the unprofitable store, while the second son and his mother want to sell it and invest the money in their multimedia business in Hamburg. When the young fishmonger falls in love with a pretty student, the cards are completely reshuffled.

Poetic images of nature in the opening credits lead us on the wrong track. The motorcyclist has been lying under his machine for a long time. At the moment of death, memories emerge. Flashbacks to family history, speechlessness in the face of death in harsh cuts.

A film about people who make a difference. They are committed to a lively political culture, to sustainable solutions in food and construction, to clarity in thinking about the economy, and to social justice.

The village is happiness. That’s what the images we have of it in our minds tell us—a main square as a lively hub, a corner store, a tavern, and on the outskirts, a view of meadows and farms. But rural exodus is putting the village to the test: young people are moving away, farms are closing, and shops stand empty. But how can the very essence of a village remain alive?
