A rather splendid short series of pieces with Steen Rasmussen and Michael Wikke as two lorry drivers who happen to be called Søren Kierkegaard, or who are the two selves of the same Søren Kierkegaard, and educate each other in the religious psychology of the eponymous philosopher. For example, the Either/Or is illustrated by Thomas, a timid bank clerk who is haunted, and taunted, by another version of his self, who urges him to rob the bank, and Lise, a conscientious police officer who falls in love with a "nasty man" whom she has just arrested. In the final episode, the cast is bolstered by an appearance by famous Danish director Astrid Henning-Jensen, as a little old lady who always happens to be at the bank till at the very point when Thomas is having existential crises. Utterly insane, unique, and great fun.

Danish cinema is renowned for its intimate focus on character and moral complexity, often framed with naturalistic performances and understated visual style. It has balanced art-house innovation, such as the Dogme 95 movement, with popular storytelling that explores family, community, and ethical dilemmas. Danish filmmakers often examine how personal choices collide with collective responsibility, giving even small-scale stories a sense of moral weight and cultural reflection.
