Stuk

In the Copenhagen of the 1880s, money seems to rain from the sky, and the energetic Herluf Berg throws himself into building a grand new theatre and entertainment house. The first part follows the boom, the companies, the parties and the friendships it creates; the second follows what happens when the gilded plaster, the stucco of the title, begins to crack. A portrait of a city living beyond its means.
