Fredriks peaceful life in an idyllic small town is turned upside down when his old childhood friend Patrik is released from prison.

Director's Statement

The story is about the unintentional change that is impossible to foresee and can change one's life in the blink of an eye. (The title is satirically comparing the all-too-small country and its elite to a pond of quacking ducks.)
