The Rat Brothers have devided Europe`s largest river into small territories... Behind them is a dam. Below them is the ground floor of their unfinshed house, always flooded. On the other river bank, it`s the European Union. The Rats Brothers have two cats, two dogs, two boats and two thousend illegal hooks to catch the caviar-loaded sturgeons who are coming upstream to spawn. They have two friends, Jerry and Granny, who are also their fishing ennemies. One fish can make them rich! ...but ‘the water cheats’, the borders are relative and the caviar rarely tastes like money.
