Summaries

Benny and Arnold and other squatters are evicted by cops from a building in Nørrebro, Copenhagen. They start a commune in an abandoned factory. Harmony breaks when politicians, capitalists and a violent gang get involved.

Benny (Kim Larsen) and Arnold (Erik Clausen) are homeless and along with others living on Nørrebro in Copenhagen. The police is set to clear the building they squat in, but on the night of the forced eviction, local acid head Spacy ([0647586]) jumps from the sixth floor. After beeing released from the police and hospital, Benny knows where to find Arnold: The now closed up factory where they used to play as children. Could this perhaps be a new beginning? Can the girl Susan make our hard luck heroes straighten up and make them take the right path? To survive they begin moonlighting. But how will this sit with the commuinty? And what about the politician Kaj Buhmann (Poul Bundgaard), is he satisfied that "Haveje" is making their own society? The movie contains classic songs by Kim Larsen.—Jens Christian Pedersen
