In this 1980 anti-European Union comedy satire, the E.U. has declared Denmark bankrupt and reduced the country to a dumping ground. The Danish language has been outlawed, all Danes have been deported and now begin, in exile, to form resistance movements. Among the expatriates walks a writer, a latter-day Orpheus, searching for his Eurydice. But without an EUR in her name, the lady is different now.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
