The Dear Family

Copenhagen around the turn of the century, exactly 29. December 1899. Storkøbmand and shipowner Jacob Friis (Gunnar Lauring) is one of Copenhagen's richest men. His home is a gathering place for family and friends. Since the death of the king, 10 years earlier, he has shared family feel and business sense with his three daughters. Elise, Elise, (Lise Ringheim) is married to an Englishman, William Randall, (Bjørn Watt Boolsen), a man of good origin, but quite dull and boring.
