В далёком 1974 году, увидев по телевизору выступление на Евровидении группы ABBA с песней «Waterloo», маленький исландский мальчик Ларс твёрдо решил, что когда-нибудь обязательно там выступит и победит. Много лет спустя Ларс уже немолод, всё ещё живёт с отцом, но свою мечту не оставил и исполняет песни собственного сочинения с подругой детства Сигрит. Хотя их группа Fire Saga выступает в местном баре, жители городка не хотят слушать самодеятельность и постоянно требуют кабацкий хит «Jaja Ding Dong». Однажды эльфы услышали просьбы Сигрит, и внезапно Fire Saga получает шанс участвовать в Евровидении.

The pro-Palestinian, anti-capitalist, BDSM-provocative, techno-punk performance art ensemble (!) Hatari unsurprisingly drew attention to themselves with their performance at the Icelandic qualifiers for the Eurovision Song Contest. So much so that they won and therefore were allowed to perform at the main event in Tel Aviv. But what now? Should they boycott the event, swallow their idealism or use their airtime to criticise the host country for their illegal occupation of Palestine? The Icelandic director Anna Hildur joins the boys in the band all the way to the fateful final. Produced by the team behind the Nick Cave film '20,000 days on Earth'.

Being a stranger doesn’t necessarily mean to be coming from the farthest away. Karl and his mother are about to learn this when they move from the west coast of Denmark to the ethnically and religiously mixed area of Nørrebro in Copenhagen. Sawsan, a Danish-Turkish girl in Karl’s new class, takes him under her wings and tries to integrate him into the big city, with all its slang and hipness. Sawsan is far more experienced and blunt than most – especially compared to Karl, this young Danish boy from the provinces. Sawsan’s big dream comes true when one of her songs is chosen for the Danish version of the Eurovision Song Contest for kids. Sawsan’s father of course says no, but Karl has a plan.
