The factory’s owner, a man called Niels Agger, tries to commit suicide. After the attempt proves unsuccessful, he ends up suffering from severe depression. His wife, Else, tries to save the factory by asking her daughter and son-in-law, June and Jonny, for help. They both attended business school and propose a comprehensive modernisation plan, focusing on the production of healthy cakes. Niels cannot cope with these new ideas and instead falls in love with the factory's new cleaning lady, Zeinab.
