MovieDocumentaryEveryone knows the animated heroine Cirkeline and her mousy friends Ingolf and Frederik. For generations they have been enjoyed by children and their parents. But few people know the woman who invented Cirkeline. Her name is Hanne Hastrup, and like many other women, she lost her place in the spotlight to a man – but in this case, to her own husband, artist and animator Jannik Hastrup. They found each other and began collaborating on the famous Cirkeline films, and now they sit side by side on a sofa and tell the story of the creation of the icon in the red dress with the black spots.

Movie5.0DocumentaryTV MovieA portrait of Flemming Quist Møller's life, both as the man, the musician and the artist. Throughout the narrative, we encounter his work with film, music, theater, plays, satire drawings, book illustrations, paintings, screenwriting; we experience that he, as a communicator and narrator, is always on the side of the weak, working with the simple, straightforward and human.
