Together with their faithful, extravagant companion Zac, they leave the nightclub life of Berlin to make their way home to the small village of Yxared, located deep in the forests of Västgoth. Their grand entrance into the small community becomes a culture clash that stirs up emotions among the villagers but also creates new, lifelong bonds.
