Min Fynske Barndom plot
The story is about the childhood of the Danish composer Carl Nielsen. The film covers the period from 1872 to 1884. We see how the only moderately talented Carl learns to play the violin and how an accident - Carl's fault without intentionally doing it - his much more gifted brother can no longer use his hand and no can play the instrument more. His mother is the driving force that stimulates him. He learns to play the piano himself and becomes acquainted with classical music, but his interest in the girls is much greater at that time. At the age of eighteen he starts composing and penetrates the better circles in Sweden, where he even has a romance with the beautiful Anna.
