The Wienerbarnet Phenomenon

As a pivotal work in Denmark cinema, Wienerbarnet to challenge the status quo through its avant-garde structure.

Viennese child Leni Rossner accidentally gets separated from her travel group at the train station. However, luck smiles on her when the kind-hearted young businessman Jørgen Wedel takes her to his destination: the Lassen family's fashionable villa, Fredensro. As a friend of the family, he has been coming there for many years, and as expected, the family welcomes Leni with open arms and decides that she can stay there for the summer. It turns out that Leni's presence spreads calm and idyll in the otherwise tense family dynamic, and she even finds time to play Kirsten Giftekniv for Jørgen Wedel and Lassen's 18-year-old daughter, Edith.
