Knud takes it one day at a time. As long as any - one can remember, his family has been living in the same village on the Dithmarschen coast. Here, Knud has not exactly won himself a reputation for
success or industry. Instead, he is resourceful and makes ends meet with shrimp fishing on the one hand and illegal sports betting and smalltime con jobs on the other. Altogether, he takes life easy. The only exception is his traditional shanty choir which his family has been conducting for four generations, and for which he is determined to secure a coveted award celebrating its 100th anniversary. For that, he will use all means necessary. With an unusual single-mindedness Knud even has a falling out with his girlfriend Nadja and his friend and partner-in-crime Addi. On top of it all, Knud’s long lost son Lenny shows up – after they haven’t been on speaking terms for a whole decade. Knud feels more and more under pressure from all sides: he fails to catch any shrimp, his plans to win the desired choir award are likely to go belly-up, and Lenny, who also is in trouble up to his eyeballs, forces him into a confrontation Knud would rather have kept dodging. All of a sudden, his whole carefree life is called into question.
