The Great Northern War is over and Vice Admiral Tordenskjold has no clue what to do with his life. His valet Kold persuades him to go on a vacation, which turns into a fun and freewheeling journey through Denmark and Northern Germany. Dark clouds gradually appear on the horizon, however, in Hanover, the increasingly alarmed Tordenskjold is forced into a suspicious duel. Henrik Ruben Genz re-imagines the Danish war hero as a kind of a rock star in a quasi-biopic full of recklessness, love affairs and crashing guitars.
