This movie was made in 1935 to show Denmark and danish society to the world in general.How Danes lived & worked at the time of this film is documented in pictures. The intention was to capture the everyday situations in Denmark and as such it presents a very interesting view of Denmark, as seen by Poul Henningsen. The viewer is taken on several "tours" through the danish agricultural production, following the milk and swine through the countryside to the dairy and the butchery, ending with danish butter and pork-sides being shipped out for export. Also the growing industrialization of Denmark is shown, with cement-factories as a prime example.
This movie no doubt show how Denmark saw it self in 1935, but it is definitely an interesting historic document.
