Torvet

In the square of an unnamed Danish town, we follow a number of people as they go about their daily business, big and small: The police officer tries to find out whether the Christmas tree seller has a "permit" to sell Christmas trees, the bicycle repairman invents a new kind of bicycle, the baker's assistant and the chimney sweep are in love, and the barber is working on a rug made of hair. Meanwhile, the Christmas tree seller sits carving small wooden figures and talking to everyone who passes by. The dramatic main story is that a modern entrepreneur wants to tear down all the old buildings in the square and replace them with a modern parking lot. Each section ends with the characters gathering around Ella's hot dog stand and singing along with the courtyard musicians.

Kaptajn Klyde og hans venner vender tilbage

Close The comedy quartet Klyderne attempts to create "a typical Danish film" through a long series of absurd sketches, parodies, musical interludes, and animated segments. The film includes the story of Anton W. Olsen and his singing foot, a soccer match between knitting ladies, a highly dramatic silent film horror movie, and an examination of the Danish national character as expressed at a campsite.
