Seaside Hotel

It is the summer of 1931, and the newspapers are full of articles about all the world's crises. Regular guests at Andersen's small bathing hotel are still back.

Fie’s younger sister Ane has arrived at the hotel after being fired by the priest’s wife. She starts work at the hotel but makes a number of unfortunate mistakes.

Ane is dying to go to Hotel Udsigten to watch Jesper perform but Fie won’t let her. Nevertheless, Ane makes plans, which leaves Edith in somewhat of a pickle.

Mrs. Aurland needs Weyse to look after baby Severin, which has an unexpected effect on the otherwise self-absorbed actor.

Two of the maids have fallen ill and consequently a fear arises in the kitchen that it might be caused by food poisoning--and that some of the guests might have gotten it as well.

Mrs. Frigh is still very captivated by the local farmer, Arne Kokholm, while Mrs. Aurland becomes increasingly careless at hiding her relationship with Weyse. A storm is brewing.

The summer is declining, but sorrows and joys are far from over at the little hotel.
