In this musical fiction which usurps the name, work titles and a few geographic data from the famous Danish writer, Hans is a cobbler from a small town who likes to tell stories to children. He goes to Copenhagen and gets involved with a ballet troupe.
The attempts at establishing a connection with its real-life referent are pitiful and ultimately render the movie incomprehensible. I didn't care much for the songs either. When taken in isolation, some dramatic sequences are effective. The Little Mermaid ballet is well done, the decor is particularly impressive.
