Mirror, Mirror
Heavily influenced by the French stage sensation La Cage Aux Folles (which was filmed the very same year) a drag-queen comedy about a group of homosexuals sharing an apartment with a naive but straight country boy did not live up to expectations. The lead characters lead boring lives during the day and, as depicted here, downright pathetic existences at night, all decked out in peacock plumes and high heels and with nowhere to go.

The Castle
Olaf Ussing is the old chamberlain who lives in the castle with his three unmarried daughters – Malene Schwartz, Lone Hertz and Mimi Heinrich. On the neighbouring estate lives Poul Reichhardt, a wealthy bachelor with a butler – festively played by Ole Monty. A couple of dubious suitors for the lovely young ladies are Preben Neergaard and Preben Mahrt – and a former admirer is Henning Palner.

I dag begynder livet
One evening, two young people, the painter Peter Sommer and the sweet, young courtesan Vera Holm, get to know each other in a very dramatic way. He meets her outside the property where he has his studio, and when she pretends to have an errand there, he willingly lets her in. When Vera suddenly pulls a revolver and shoots a stranger, and Peter in the heat of the fight receives a stab wound, there is a great commotion in the property, and an explanation is demanded.

Vores lille by
Our small town is a fairly ordinary collection of houses in a random location in Denmark, inhabited by fairly ordinary people. Nothing of significance has happened in the last 100 years or so. The town sleeps its Sleeping Beauty slumber, facing the fjord and with its back to the lowlands, as storms of all kinds pass unnoticed overhead, such as thunderstorms and summer clouds high, high above. One day, a rather unusual vagabond arrives in this town. He calls himself Laust (Carl Ottosen) and has no intention of staying in the town, but has only been driven this way by chance during his long search for a place and some people to whom he can tie his fate.

Det lille hotel
Marianne has the most amazing blue eyes, so it's no wonder that Per falls head over heels in love with her. Per has just returned from abroad to help his mother run a hotel that she has inherited from her lover and Per's father, the married Albert, who is also Henrik's father. And that's just the beginning of the many complications that need to be sorted out before everything can end well at Det Lille Hotel.

Wife on vacation
Allan Thorsen is tired of his wife, but he finds it difficult to tell her that he wants a divorce. So he arranges a skiing holiday where she will fall in love with another man, so that he can get rid of her without having to do anything himself. She does find a man who is interested, but then Allan becomes jealous and soon tries to win his wife back. However, the situation is complicated by the fact that Allan's mistress suddenly shows up at the holiday hotel.
