Klumpfisken Page #2

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 just need new quotas.

- You'll need a loan for that.

- I have the house.

- Choose your battles.

- You can still wipe the slate clean.

- Drop the clean slate talk!

- It's aggravating.

- All right.

- Sorry about that.

- Don't be.

Hello there, Alf. How are things?

Just fine.

The weather could be better.

- Do you have any cod quotas to spare?

- It's too soon to say.

- How about plaice?

- No.

Well I need them myself

until I know how it looks.

- Why don't you try the inn?

- I will.

- Let me know if you hear anything.

- Yes, I'll call you. Take care.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, Kesse! Good to see you.

- Did you miss me?

- Yes! It's your round.

I'm sure it is.

Katrine, give me five cold beers.

It's too soon to sublease.

- What about you, Poul?

- No.

- Help me out here.

- I'm holding on to mine.

- Boxer?

- It's too soon.

I can't believe this.

I shouldn't have bought beer.

- Yes, you should.

- Cheers.

Oh, it's you. What are you doing?

- I'm searching for quotas.

- Any luck?

No. It's either the wrong species

or zone. And they're expensive.

- Price is relative.

- No, it's a fact.

Kjeld!

Kjeld?

Kjeld? Is that offer

with the biologists still on?

What do you mean?

- 3 tons cod as a bonus, right?

- Kesse, I don't want any trouble.

- I'll have to clean up after you.

- I really need that bonus.

- It's 5 trips in all.

- All right.

- Fine.

- Thank you.

"Just give it up.

You're not getting any."

And I had just given her

a Tequila Sunrise.

So I took it back and drank it all

right in front of her.

It tastes like sh*t

but I wasn't giving it to her.

- Are you listening?

- Huh? Yes.

No, you're not. What did I say then?

- Something you didn't want to drink.

- You're not listening.

Kesse!

It's a woman. It's a god damn woman!

- Are you coming on more sails?

- Yes. The agreement is five.

- Five?

- That's what we agreed.

- He didn't tell me.

- No.

- I didn't know anything about this.

- Oh, it's you?

- Hello again.

- Do you know each other?

- Get moving, Lars.

- Aye aye, captain.

You must be Kristian.

I'm Gerd Bertelsen.

I'm doing regulation research.

I'll measure catch and mesh width...

I don't care what you do. Just stay

out of the way. We're leaving now.

- Do you need help?

- Yes, please.

We look at the population and

try to make it more sustainable.

- So are you measuring all the fish?

- No. We don't have time for that.

So what do you need it for?

Primarily to improve the catch

according to the mesh width.

- Will we need to get new gear?

- Some of it is very outdated.

Lars! You can't be here. Go up there!

- Move away.

- Yes.

- It is rolling okay?
