Passengers on a cruise ship are forced to come to terms with their inevitable doom. The female captain looks for the right words, and a group of children wants to do something nice for an animal that has died.

Early spring 1951. Søren has dissapeared from his own engagement celebration. His fiancée finds him pale and gloomy, sitting on a jetty. She confronts him with his constant absence. In return she gets to witness Søren revealing a most fatal secret.

Across three decades – the 1970s to the turn of the millennium – the lives of three boys – Lars Rolsted, Jon Olufsen, and Martin Lund Jensen – are explored, teeming with grandparents, Marxists, expatriate Danes, stolen kisses, rockers, pushers and welfare clients, yuppies and small, polite suburban punks.
