Lykken kommer

In Lykken kommer, Jytte and Ole, a wealthy couple, decide to get divorced after a night of excessive partying. Their Uncle Frederik intervenes with a bet that challenges them to live on 400 DKK a month for a year, aiming to teach them about ordinary life. As they transition to a smaller apartment, they initially struggle but eventually start to adapt. However, they abandon the bet after just a month, only to face unexpected changes when Jytte discovers she is pregnant. This revelation brings new meaning to their lives and prompts them to reevaluate their priorities.

Directed by an unknown filmmaker, this film features Marguerite Viby, Ebbe Rode, and Johannes Meyer among its cast. As a comedy from the early 1940s, Lykken kommer provides a glimpse into societal norms and values of the time, making it an interesting piece for those who appreciate vintage cinema and its humor.
