Karen, Maren og Mette
Among the many guests at the Rebild festival is Andreas Andersen, a man in his early 30s. But he has not come to Denmark to attend the big festival. Seventeen years ago, he was a poor farmhand at "Hovgården," but he fled the country because the farmer's wife, the authoritative Martha Larsen, accused him of a theft that was actually committed by her son, Henrik. Andreas came to America and led a turbulent life here before becoming a farmer and earning a lot of money.
Jeg elsker dig
Six people—three couples—meet by chance at a dance restaurant in Copenhagen's nightlife scene. A marriage swindler and former actress, an elderly Supreme Court lawyer and his wife, and a young couple with equal parts courage and erotic repression. As the evening progresses, the empty champagne bottles pile up. Old inhibitions are cast aside and new connections are formed – and none of the six leave as they arrived.
Tine
Danish melodrama about a housemaid struggling to find normalcy and love in the midst of war.
Hunger
In 1890, Pontus, the starving writer, wanders the streets of Christiania, in search of love and a chance to get his work published. All he meets is defeat and suffering while his sense of reality is withering. One moment he is delighted and the next he curses everybody. All the time he manages to maintain human dignity and pride.
Behind the red gates
Behind the red gates lies Dyrehaven with the green beeches and the famous zoo hill - the motley world of clowns. Professor Labardi is behind the popular singer pavilion, where his young daughter, Gulnare, performs. After a rainy summer, there is an economic low tide on Bakken, and the family is tempted to seek help from Gulnare's enterprising suitor, Carlo Petersen. But Professor Labardi carries a secret: the clown family has family ties to the fine legal world outside the gates. There is conflict, money transactions, love, hypocrisy and villainous streaks when the fine world and the hill folk meet. Behind the Red Gates is a terrific folk comedy that takes us behind the attractions at the traditional amusement park in Klampenborg.
The Tove Andersen Criminal Case
Tove Andersen's problem ends in Christianshavn's moat, and this is where the film begins. The body has a noose around its neck. The homicide division is called in, and it turns out that shortly before her death, she had undergone an illegal operation. An unscrupulous womanizer had abandoned the young student from the countryside when the relationship had consequences. The doctor rejects her after a beautiful lecture on the sanctity of life, and she must therefore rely on "private" help.

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 er ikke appelsiner - det er heste
In inner Copenhagen, in the real old town, in greengrocer Mortensen's property right under Tagskægget, live three good friends: painter Richard Hansen, painter Steffen, sculptor Max, and their friend Louise Mørch. All three have something very boring in common: they are unknown and penniless. Suddenly, it seems that luck is smiling on them. Charlottenborg has accepted the painting that Richard submitted. Excited, he heads to the exhibition, only to discover that the selection committee has accepted the two packing box lids he used to protect his painting, lids that he uses every day to wipe his brushes on.
