Internationally renowned artist Veronika Gronnegaard has lived an eccentric and colourful life since the sixties. The series follows Veronika's four adult children whose free and chaotic childhood has left its mark on them in very different ways. They live separated from one another until Veronika dies and they gather to wind up the estate. Just before she dies, Veronika leaves the manor to her daughter Signe, who was given up for adoption.
