Once Upon a Time
Kaspar Smokehat
The Princess of Illyria has spurned every suitor, when a gypsy loitering around the castle catches her eye. In actuality, he is the Prince of Denmark, there with his friend Kasper Røghat. The prince captivates her with magic devices, a noisemaker and a copper kettle, in return for kisses and a night in her bedchamber. When Kasper Røghat tells the king about the “affair,” the princess is thrown out of the castle, forcing her to settle in Denmark with the prince and work as a poor potter. Will the fairytale have a happy ending?

Poul visits Frandsen, a moneylender, and borrows the money to pay the bill. Later, Frandsen goes to Poul's office to collect and, when it still cannot be paid....

Greven
Using motifs from the classic Adam Oehlenschläger poem, the legend of the Golden Horns is told across four different epochs: the discovery of the first golden horn in 1639, the discovery of the second golden horn in 1734, the theft of the golden horns in 1802, and the saga of the golden horns in contemporary times. Emilie Sannom and Emanuel Gregers star in all four episodes, playing a young couple fighting to be together. (stumfilm.dk)
