The Sun King

2005 · 86 min

A gentle, offbeat Danish comedy about an unlikely romance that unfolds with dry humour and a warm, quirky charm.

Overview
While changing the pipes in the tanningbeds at Golden Sun, Tommy meets the owner. A middleaged former Miss Fyn called Susse. Slowly an unusual love affair begins. Tommy's two friends Ole & Flemming give him tips on how to give Golden Sun some masculine appeal. Susse just happens to have a sleazy lawyer that does not appreciate the new look.
