Backbreaking work: Deep-sea fishing in the Arctic Ocean

A state-of-the-art fishing trawler from Cuxhaven sets sail from Tromso to hunt for cod. The crew faces six weeks at sea, during which the men must work hard, in shifts around the clock. The fishermen receive only a modest base salary but are paid a percentage of the sales proceeds. This means: The more they catch, the more they earn. The fishermen process the catch directly on board. But suddenly, the equipment comes to a standstill. No one knows what's wrong. Will the crew have to return to shore?
