A darkly comic, absurdist adaptation of Hamlet that transplants Shakespeare's tragedy into the mundane world of 1980s Finnish business, using the rubber duck industry as a vehicle for existential satire.

When Hamlet discovers his father’s deceased body, he finds himself pulled into a power struggle as his scheming uncle attempts to secure a monopoly on the Scandinavian rubber duck industry. Will Hamlet avenge his father? Will he become the king of rubber ducks? Does any of it really matter?
