Jeppe Nygren takes over as deputy conductor of the Copenhagen Symphony Orchestra and is warmly welcomed by his new conductor, who speaks candidly about the musicians' peculiarities and olates. The conflict-ridden Jeppe quickly gets an example of these olates and happens to give the embittered second clarinetist Bo with a cursed promise of a solo part. But it has far-reaching consequences.
After taking on the position as the new deputy head of the Copenhagen Symphonic Orchestra, Jeppe Nygren is forewarned about the peculiar habits of musicians. Soon, he finds himself entangled in a conflict with Bo Høxenhaven, the second clarinetist.
