She is a city girl, in her early 30s with a sweet boyfriend, a lovely apartment and a newborn baby. It all plays out. But it is turned upside down when her boyfriend Rasmus tells her that he has got a job as a teacher at a high school in Velling! A small place on the west coast of Jutland, where the grass stands horizontally in the wind, and where sentences are few and short. How is she, who loves words, supposed to function in that society? In the performance, everyone is invited to a condensed musical high school stay in Velling. We meet the Velling residents, the wild hotel owner Krisser, the patient driving instructor, parking Peter and many others.

She is only in her 30s and lives life in the city. Sweet boyfriend, lovely apartment, newborn baby. It all works. But it is turned upside down when her boyfriend tells her that he has got a job as a teacher at a high school in Velling! A small spot on the west coast of Jutland, where the grass stands horizontally in the wind, and where sentences are few and short. How is she supposed to function in that society, with her great love of words? Because what do people from West Jutland actually think about in the pauses between their sentences? And how does she avoid filling the silence with gibberish?

Gregers comes home to town after 16 years of absence. Here he meets his childhood friend, Hjalmar, who feels lucky. He is a photographer, has a beautiful wife and a daughter of almost 14 – the almost blind Hedvig, whom he adores. He also fantasizes about inventing great things. And he has let his old father move in with him and set up an indoor hunting ground with hares and other game up in the attic, so that the old man can still go hunting. There is also a wing-shot wild duck, which Hedvig is very fond of.
