Description
We are in Copenhagen, the capital and most populous city of Denmark.

The film opens with views of the city from the moving car the filmmaker is in. We see the building structure and cars of that era. The lens with a panoramic shot shows us the C.F. Tietgen house, next to it the Børsen building, also known as Børsbygningen, a 17th century stock exchange in the city center and Christiansborg Palace which is the seat of the Danish parliament..

The camera shows us several buildings, the streets while focusing on posters of that time. We briefly see Amalienborg Palace, the official royal residence with the monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V in the center of the palace square and we get back to the ornate buildings. The city tour continues with a group of children with their backpacks, shop windows, people going for their daily routine business, tourists and the building structure of the city.

The filmmaker stands at the Caritas fountain, the oldest existing fountain in Copenhagen which is located in Strøget, the most touristic area due to it being one of the largest pedestrian shopping streets and continues with views of the shops and the city from the moving bus. We stand out the Madame Tussauds museum building, the Rosenborg Castle and the St. Alban’s.

The lens stands on the Gefion Fountain which features a large-scale group of oxen pulling a plow and led by the Norse goddess Gefjon. Then we see The Little Mermaid statue by Edvard Eriksen, a crowd of people strolling and views of the harbor with ships that are amoored.

The film closes with shots of the city from the moving bus.
