Our small town is a fairly ordinary collection of houses in a random location in Denmark, inhabited by fairly ordinary people. Nothing of significance has happened in the last 100 years or so. The town sleeps its Sleeping Beauty slumber, facing the fjord and with its back to the lowlands, as storms of all kinds pass unnoticed overhead, such as thunderstorms and summer clouds high, high above. One day, a rather unusual vagabond arrives in this town. He calls himself Laust (Carl Ottosen) and has no intention of staying in the town, but has only been driven this way by chance during his long search for a place and some people to whom he can tie his fate.
