I am going to play Nth for something like
Qxxxx
K
Kx
AKxxx
C look to be 5/5 around the table. The Q of S is a suspicious card - why play the Q from QJ? There is no guarantee that dec does not have the K
I doubt he has Kx of H as then a D continuation beats declarer. A of D, loosing H hook and H contnuation leaves declarer with 2S a H and 2 c losers.
I am going to play a H to the A hoping to drop stiff K, take the D hook, A of D pitching a S and then hook the H.

If they are playing Majors as 5-cards, then south has supported with only 2 Spades. So he must have some HCP, possibly the DK.
I think I'll play DA and DQ. If the King doesn't drop, then I'll discard a Spade and play HA and ruff a small C; otherwise a ruff, play HA, ruff a small C and discard a Spade on DJ, hoping the short D are together with the short trumps.

i doubt it
anyway, after i take SA i play DA, ruffing finesse with Q (tossing spade), then it depends.. if DQ covered, trump and play HA, ruff a club, DJ and toss spade (unless HK fell, then draw trumps first)

I wonder about carding, the cA lead is fro AK? Do the play standard count signals? If so opener has a 4 card spade suit which is strange. Why open a 4 card spade suit? Maybe he has something like QJxx, KJx, xxxx, AK and didn't want to open 1d? Maybe....
Then the dK is stiff offside.

From the convention card I downloaded, this is what I can make out about NS bidding and signals.
North was Terje AA, playing with Gleen Groetheim. They play 14/16 1 NT in 1st/2nd seat vul (as here), but may have 5 card major. The 1S bid is limited to 11-15 hcp, but can include a four card suit.
There leads are Ace from AK against suit, unless AK doubleton specifically.
On their leads, high is discouraging, low encouraging.
