Mutter, Kutter, Kind

Heddi is a confident and battle-hardened coastal fisherman - she has to be, because fishing has never been easy and in times of overfishing she struggles to make ends meet. But Heddi doesn't let himself be beaten. She only has one weak point: her daughter Eva. Eva is an environmental activist and just as combative as her mother. But despite their resemblance, Eva doesn't want to have anything more to do with Heddi, there has been radio silence between the two for years. But now Eva unexpectedly shows up in the small Baltic Sea village with her ten-year-old son Jannis, ostensibly for a birthday visit to Grandma Lore, with whom Eva spent most of her childhood. In truth, however, Eva is in great trouble: because of resistance to state authority - and this as a repeat offender. - she has to serve a prison sentence. But who should take care of their little Jannis during their absence? For Eva it is clear: Grandma Lore has to do that. But she no longer trusts herself to take care of the lively boy. Nothing would actually be more obvious than to ask Heddi, but Eva's anger at her mother is too great. Can she overcome herself and give her mother another chance?
