In the filmmaker’s home village, the Baltic sea resort of Göhren on the Island of Rügen, the residents are arguing about the future of the popular holiday destination. For years the local council has been dominated by a group of four men who stand for growth and investment. In the village they are called the “four off the peg” because they always support the projects of major investor Wilfried Horst. The multimillionaire from North Rhine-Westphalia has built more hotels and holiday homes than anyone else since the fall of the Wall. When Horst is planning a construction project in the nature reserve, the activist Nadine and her father Bernd take action against it. They quickly realize that they only have one chance to protect the picturesque landscape of their homeland namely by competing in the upcoming local elections together with like-minded people and winning a majority in the local council. Can they break the superiority of the “four off the peg”? A personal documentary film about the essence of democracy between white resort architecture and the gentle sound of the sea.
