Fidibus

2006 · 105 min

A breezy, silly Danish crime lark that coasts on goofy characters and low-stakes mishaps rather than real danger.

Overview
Kalle, a nice middleclass kid, who because of a debt and old friendship ends up as a 'fidibus', a gofer, for the hash baron Paten. But only until Paten is anything but innocently jailed and asks Kalle to mind the store while he is gone. No one touches Paten's money, Paten's car or, least of all, Paten's girl, Saby, who is dumber than water.
