Once again it is summer at the North Sea. The calendar reads 1931 and the newspapers are bursting with articles about bankruptcies and world crisis. But that doesn't keep the regular guests from Copenhagen, from being back at the little hotel, where Fie is now in charge of the daily management. However, the maid Edith, is certain that Fie is dreaming about something else entirely and therefore, she seeks out the spiritual Miss Vetterstrøm to figure out what it is. The royal actor Mr. Weyse is riding a wave of success within the world of the moving picture and in order to be left in peace for the summer, he has told the press that he is vacationing at Lake Garda. A decision he will come to regret bitterly as his archenemy from the theatre, Sophus Poulsen, moves into the hotel accompanied by no other than Weyse's ex-wife.
