Henry es un escritor frustrado que un buen día se encuentra con Magdalena, una niña de ocho años, en la puerta de su casa. La pequeña resulta ser su hija, lo que cambiará su vida para siempre. El título original "Kokowääh" hace referencia al modo en que un alemán que no sabe francés diría "coq au vin" (pollo al vino).
Nine young actors leave behind their daily lives in Berlin and travel to the country to audition for a summer theatre production to be performed in the ruins of an old church. A once-renowned Swiss director is using this week of rehearsals to find the lead for this production of “Hamlet”. The director is staying privately at the home of an old woman, but the actors are being put up at a run-down hotel with very thin walls.
