Ved Kongelunden...

"Ved Kongelunden" is indeed a nostalgic film that beautifully captures life in Copenhagen during the 1950s.

The postwar era in Denmark was marked by a sense of optimism and rebuilding, and the film reflects this atmosphere through its portrayal of everyday life, family, and community in the Danish capital.

The movie delves into the cultural and social aspects of the time, showcasing the simplicity, charm, and traditions that were prevalent in the 1950s Denmark. It offers a picturesque view of Danish life, celebrating the small joys and the communal spirit that defined the era.

The focus is on the use of the small allotments garden, most families had at that time.

Allotment gardens were popular in urban and suburban areas where residents may not have access to their own private garden space. They were an important part of community life, providing green spaces allowing people to grow their own fresh produce - and fostering social interaction among gardeners, friends, neighbors and family.
