Karl has no desire to move to Copenhagen. He adores the dunes, the beach and the sea in the remote region where he lives with his mother and prays to God he can stay there. But he has no choice; his mother's job means she needs to move to the big city and so Karl goes with her. Copenhagen is completely unknown to him, loud, noisy and full of traffic. The streets and shops are busy with people from all corners of the world.

A woman disguises herself as a man to join the army in order to protect her educationally challenged son who has been called up to fight in WW1.
