Klumpfisken Page #5

Synopsis: Kesse is a third generation fisherman living in the small and windblown town of Hirtshals, in Northern Jutland. As a result of new fishery policies and the global financial crisis, the smaller fishermen are slowly succumbing to the pressure of competing with larger fishing enterprises. Kesse is struggling to survive, desperately holding on to the only way of life he knows. But desperate times require desperate measures and so, due to increasing financial pressure, Kesse is forced to find more notorious and alternative ways of making ends meet. This in turn, leads him to meet his polar opposite, the female marine biologist Gerd.

I know you're in there!

Kesse, damn it!

You might want to find

a new spot for the spare key.

Oh yeah?

You've really been at it.

You look like sh*t.

Huh?

You're not a pretty sight yourself.

- No.

- Here. A souvenir from paradise.

- Thanks.

- Let's go. Get up, damn it.

My license is withdrawn for 3 months

and I got a huge fine.

The bank will take all of it.

The house and the car.

- Then it's really bad.

- Damn right.

She should stay

away from the docks.

I was just stupid. Stupid and naive.

I'll never fish again.

Can you ask if there are any jobs

at the fish factory?

Sure. Sure.

We have a uniform, you have to wear.

And to make sure,

that you're always clean and tidy -

- you'll get 11 work suits.

Today you'll be at the station

where they cut the heads off.

This is after that station.

The ladies here are filleting.

Your job is at the next station.

This is our new employee.

- Kristian.

- I'm Keld.

- Do you want to learn this?

- I might as well.

This chops the head off.

You push here and here.

Kesse!

What's up?

I just wanted to check in on you.

I'm not talking. Don't worry.

- Who tipped the inspectors?

- I have no idea.

I'll find out who it was.

Someone owes me a wee favor.

It doesn't matter anymore.

- We had a good business going.

- What do you want?

I'll pay that fine.

When you get your license back

we'll slowly settle the account.

You'll get your boat and quotas back.

Everything will be as before.

I think you need to go now.

- Think about it.

- I've thought about it.

Think about it.

I've thought about it.

Goodbye, Carsten.

What's up? Are you coming

to fisherman's swim tonight?

- Why? I'm not a fisherman anymore.

- Stop that. Neither am I.

Did you hear about Lars?

He got beat up.

- That wouldn't be a first.

- No, a proper beating.

Some say it was hired goons.

- What the hell did he do?

- I don't know.

I met Inga at the supermarket.

She was shook up and crying.

Hey! Where are you going? Kesse!

Did you tip the inspection? Huh?

Did you?

Do you even know what you did?!

- You had it coming!

- Did I? Did I really?

Kesse! Leave him alone.

- So...

- Take care.

Thanks.

- Put it down for a second.

- Just step down.

- No.

- You're a wimp.

Go on.

Hello, Pia. Just the usual.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- It's been a while.

- Yes.

- Are you doing okay?

- Just fine.

I'm working at the fish factory.

I get benefits and all.

So that's all good.

- What about you?

- Fine.

- How did the project go?

- Good. It's done.

- Well, congratulations then.

- Thanks.

- I'm going back to Copenhagen.

- Oh.

- When are you leaving?

- At 4 o'clock.

- Today?

- Yes.

- Bye, Kesse.

- Bye. Do you need a ride?

- What?

- How will you get to the airport?

I can borrow Sorte's car

and take you there.

- I'm taking the train.

- Oh, okay.

Then it's...

- Bye.

- Bye.

- At least we got rid of her.

- Huh?

It's not that... I just think,

she was a bit too pushy.

A bit too aggressive. Right?

Maybe it's because she's from

Copenhagen. We're not like that.

Don't you think?

This is Gerd. I can't come to the

phone. Please leave a message.

- Can I buy a ticket here?

- Sure.

- Where are you going?

- I'm going to Copenhagen.
