Laura and Micha travel the Danish countryside performing their off-beat cabaret show. Their personal lives suffer as a result of their dedication to their craft, yet the chaos that ensues becomes the grist for their revue.

A historical Danish drama series produced by Danmarks Radio (DR) that depicts the harsh everyday life of a working-class family at the turn of the 20th century. Based on the biographical novel "En rabarberdreng vokser op" by Christian Christensen, it follows the tough upbringing of a young boy named Johan.

Katitzi Taikon is a gypsy girl who at first lives at an orphanage. She is not happy there, so she is returned to her family. The Taikon's live at different camps. They are pushed by police and authorities.

In the square of an unnamed Danish town, we follow a number of people as they go about their daily business, big and small: The police officer tries to find out whether the Christmas tree seller has a "permit" to sell Christmas trees, the bicycle repairman invents a new kind of bicycle, the baker's assistant and the chimney sweep are in love, and the barber is working on a rug made of hair. Meanwhile, the Christmas tree seller sits carving small wooden figures and talking to everyone who passes by. The dramatic main story is that a modern entrepreneur wants to tear down all the old buildings in the square and replace them with a modern parking lot. Each section ends with the characters gathering around Ella's hot dog stand and singing along with the courtyard musicians.
