We meet several people who live and work along the coast of Norway. Regine, who buys her own fishing boat and hires her boyfriend as crew. Øystein, who wants to build a restaurant on an uninhabited island off the Nordland coast. Nils Olav, one of the last remaining builders of Oselvers. And Magnus, who has run an oyster farm for 70 years and couldn't imagine any other life.
