The success of conventional shrimp farming relies on a method called eyestalk ablation. Female shrimp get one of their eyes cut off. Out of survival instinct they immediately start reproducing. EU law forbids the use of eyestalk ablation and considers it animal cruelty, which is why german farmers ask themselves: How can we get the shrimp to have sex? What do they need? Can shrimp fall in love? The film seeks answers from German shrimp farmers, philosophers and shrimp enthusiasts.
