Story of two young people: Andrea and Christian, called Krischan. The movie and their adventure begins when they enter an old town by the sea: Stralsund. The young people will experience many a surprise, and the real adventure is a journey of discovery for both of them; they want to find out what motivates the other, what goals they have and which character traits dominate. This also brings them face to face with the past, for example when Klein-Christian ate from Master Zillmann's liverwurst tree and was abandoned by the Snow Queen Luise, who had a heart of stone. Or Krischan meets Little Andrea, who always gnawed at her pigtails because she was afraid of her cheeky Uncle Albert. But now the two are turned towards the present and the future, and their behavior shows that their young love will last.

The little island of Laenneken is a place where time seems to stands still. Traditional customs and age-old power relations are still in place and are unaffected by modern-day influences. Not even the foundation of a fishery cooperative has diminished the power of the two richest fishermen, Pröpping and Grabe. Both men have been bitter rivals for ages. Nevertheless, Grabe’s son Henning and Pröpping’s daughter Bärbel prepare to break with the traditions that restrict their lives, as they are had over heels in love with each other and want to marry.
