Once upon a tide in a faraway land – the land of the freeze and the home of the tears, there lived two sisters who were left with a family herring-tage: a fish shop. The older one, Gerda, dreams of running it, while the younger one, Gaja doesn’t want to exploit other creatures. She is giving her blood, sweat and gills to halt the ofishial opening of the shop. The premier night is upon them. Big fish and sharks start to circle when suddenly, Gaja flounders.
