She Hired a Husband

Daphne Trowbridge, an impulsive and obstinate but nonetheless kindhearted young woman, lives with her aunt and uncle on their country estate. Daphne falls in love with Tom Dunstan, but when she learns that Mrs. Trowbridge favors the young man, she deserts him, whereupon he departs for the woods brokenhearted. Because her aunt dislikes Gerald, Daphne accepts his proposal, but on the day of the wedding, she discovers that Mrs. Trowbridge has liked him from the beginning. Furious at her aunt's scheming, Daphne hires the first man she meets, who happens to be a heavily bearded lumberman, to marry her and then leave. Later, however, her hired husband abducts her to his cabin in the woods, where he eventually succeeds in taming her. After he rescues her from two lecherous lumberjacks, Daphne discovers that her husband is Tom, whom she had loved all along.

Helligtrekongersaften

Disguised as a man, Viola (Kirsten Olesen) is stranded in the wonderland of Illyria where she awakens the love of the beautiful Olivia (Susse Wold). Viola herself falls in love with Duke Orsino (Nis Bank-Mikkelsen) who in turn is in love with Olivia.

The Son

Farid is a forty-something kidult - flabby, balding and unmarried. His brother emigrated to the United States twenty years ago. Farid lives with his mother who doesn't trust him with her cheque book, but tolerates his apathy and even allows him to buy a car so he can keep up the illusion of being a man of the world. In spite of their constant squabbling, Farid is shocked by her sudden death, and then consumed by loneliness. He makes awkward attempts at contact with a neighbour and women he meets on the street.
