Overview

TV adaptation of Holberg's popular 1724 confusion comedy: Henrik (Paul Hagen) and Pernille (Birgitte Reimer) are two servants working for their respective lordships and they each independently fall for the temptation to put on the clothes of their lordships and pretend to be someone other than who they are. Unfortunately, the two meet each other in their new disguises - and fall in love.
