- The end of the 14th century. Parents send the eldest son Jan to study in Hamburg, and the youngest - Klaus - to the monastery. No sooner had the children moved away from their homes, as on Klaus'es eyes the robbers kill their parents and burn the house. Only thanks to the loyal monk Wigbold Klaus managed to survive the shock. A few years later Klaus Störtebeker finds his brother Jan and his long-time friend Elizabeth Pren in Hamburg. From her, he learns that she is expected to marry Simon von Wallenrod, whose father Klaus suspects of killing his parents. But the Pranks and the Wallenrods are rich and respected people, and Klaus is a poor man. And now he becomes a pirate...

- Once upon a time, that's how fairy-tales begin - these were my mother's closing words sometimes when she was telling us children about her youth in Nidden, and what she meant was that it was over. How does a person recall things if she is suddenly obliged to leave her home when still young, and not permitted to return for fifty years, and precisely what does she recall? Does she feel homesick for her youth? The film gives very personal answers to these questions, and yet they may be applicable to many. (H. Schulzeck) The film-maker questioned his mother, who was born in 1923, the second child of a fisherman's family living in Nidden in the Curische Nehrung. In 1945, she was obliged to flee to Schleswig-Holstein, where she still lives today. Twice whilst making this film - in the summer of 1997 and the winter of 1998 - the director accompanied his mother to her home, which is now part of Lithuania.
