The film tells the story of the popular Danish singer-songwriter John Mogensen and his turbulent life as a father and a husband, but first and foremost as a musician. We follow John Mogensen from childhood to manhood and throughout his career which spanned more than twenty years, first with great succes in the vocal group Four Jacks and later as a solo artist. John Mogensen died suddenly of a heart attack in 1977.

| Comment | The film, a local box-office hit, was seen by more than 400,000 cinemagoers. Ole Bornedal's 'Small Town Killers' (2017) attracted more than 255,000 Danes to the cinema. Bornedal’s breakthrough came with his feature debut 'Nightwatch' (1994), and he has won a string of awards for titles such as the children’s film 'The Substitute' (2007), 'Just Another Love Story' (2007) and 'Deliver Us from Evil' (2009). |
