It is not in the cards that young Anne Marie Christensen from Fanø ends up as one of the most notorious Danish war criminals from World War II. Nevertheless, she is recruited by the Gestapo under the name Jenny Holm during the occupation. She turns out to have agent skills beyond the usual. It is believed that she is responsible for many hundreds of arrests of enemies of Nazism. She is so skilled that she is recruited by Danish and British intelligence in the years just after the war, where she uses her skills to catch Nazi war criminals in Germany. Jenny Holm disappears into oblivion - until a day when a resourceful writer finds out where Jenny Holm ends her days. The trail ends surprisingly, at a celebrated alternative therapist with electric hands on Gammel Kongevej

10 short documentaries which form a presentation of Denmark as part of a dialogue project in the wake of the Muhammed drawings. 10 reputable Danish filmmakers are invited to create 10 presentations of Denmark, in collaboration with second-generation immigrants with roots in the Middle East. Each film is shaped as this person's personal application to a relative or acquaintance in the Middle East. The assignment is: Give an important statement about your Denmark, with the intention of challenging and differentiating the image your relative or acquaintance has of Denmark. The strength of the films is in insight and reflection, rather than the dramatic news approach and is communicated through the personal approach to the subject. The 10 films are joined together into one film (duration 58:30 mins), and this film will be a quick and intense contribution to the debate following the publication of the Muhammed drawings.

How will globalization affect them all?
