Jeppe and Regitze are divorced and have different ways of coping with life. Jeppe tries to get a handle on the anger through mindful yoga, and Regitze fixes the guilt with dry cleaning and AA meetings. Bo still sits as 2nd clarinet in the Orchestra, while his former student Elin is firmly planted in the first seat. But Elin is heavily pregnant, so the first seat will soon be free. As acting boss, Jeppe must solve the Gordian knot of filling the hall with a new and preferably younger audience.
