Gitte Møller

A middle-aged woman who lives alone in her childhood home has become such a daydreamer that the line between fantasy and reality has become blurred. Her thoughts revolve around the war years, when her father was a Nazi and she married the wrong man, even though a sympathetic German soldier loved her. When a young man comes to read the electricity meter, she cannot distinguish between past and present, and the clash between dream and reality becomes painful.

Klovn is a Danish sitcom, which first aired on the Danish TV channel TV2 Zulu. It focuses on the life of the main character Frank and Casper. The show builds its comedy around quiet everyday situations, social awkwardness, uncomfortable silences and general faux pas. Klovn usually gets compared to the American sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm by Larry David. It’s also shot handheld, in a pseudo-realistic style. Some have also mistakenly compared the theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm’s, despite it being a direct reference to Jacques Tati’s Mr. Hulot movies. The poster for the first film can be seen in Casper and Frank’s offices throughout the series. Klovn initially ran 6 seasons on TV2 Zulu from 2005-2009 and was renewed with an additional 3 seasons that aired from 2018-2022.
