Birgitte Nyborg is the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, when oil is suddenly found in Greenland. But Nyborg has gone to the polls on a green agenda, and for her there is no doubt that the oil project must be shut down as soon as possible. Voices in Greenland - led by the Greenlandic government minister Hans Eliassen - are, however, of a completely different opinion. And so is Nyborg's boss, Prime Minister Signe Kragh.
