The Wake is the title of a large-scale multimedia project, the main element of which is an eight-hour long silent movie. The film is based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (London 1939), a limit-transgressing, perhaps even limit-dissolving book that not only transgresses the limits of what literature is and is capable of, but inscribes transgressions on almost all conceivable levels. It is at the same time dream book, history book and necrology. It is almost impossible to determine whether we are dealing with a long poem, a prose narrative or a piece of drama.

Including the TV drama Tannhuser, in which Reinhardt and his son Kurt try to save their auto repair shop and gas station from Ilse von Tannhaser and her henchmen. Also featuring Bdr. Bisp, Godnathistorier, and much more.

In the late 19th century, two Swedish emigrants, Lasse Karlsson and his son Pelle, arrive on the Danish island of Bornholm hoping to find work on a farm and save enough money to travel to the United States of America.

Tonny & Tonny (two extremely enthuasiastic hosts wearing toupés) present returning segments, including the neo-noir comedy drama "Klap-I-Olsen" featuring the adventures of a very drunk but highly philosophical detective at his local bar, the romantic (mis)adventures of "Henriette Hermansen", the segment "De fire Jørgen Cleviner" (a sort of children's show for adults) featuring the legendary TV-host Jørgen Clevin, and the reality show "Rambuk-TV" (a futuristic/satirical vision of what reality-tv might evolve into).
