Danish on a Sunday: ‘Viktor Against the World’
Viktor Leth is a grown man who has lived alone with his fearful mother his whole life. When she suddenly dies, he finds out that his father is still alive. However, while Viktor believes he is a famous jazz musician, it turns out his father really works in a big insurance company. Luckily, it turns out that Viktor has a hidden talent for insurance because of everything his mother has told him about fear, and his father tries to take advantage of this. In the process Viktor meets Josefine, an incredibly unlucky middle manager, and the two outsiders fall in love. But when the future of the company suddenly revolves around Viktor, he must make a choice.
Viktor mod verden
Director: Christian Arhoff
30-årige Viktor Leth har boet alene hele sit liv med sin mor, der er bange for alt. Viktor har levet sit liv gennem gamle danske film og ved absolut intet om virkeligheden, men da moren dør, overlades Viktor til sig selv. Han finder ud af, at sin far, Charlie, stadig lever, og han beslutter sig for at opsøge ham i København. Viktor tror, at sin far er jazzmusiker, men Charlie viser sig i stedet at være forsikringsmand i et stort, skrantende forsikringsselskab. Viktor viser sig dog at have et kæmpe talent for forsikringer pga. sin mors store frygt, og Charlie forsøger at bruge Viktor til at redde hele selskabet. Samtidig møder Viktor Josefine, en utrolig uheldig medarbejder, hvis liv har været en lang ulykke, og de to ser noget i hinanden. Men da hele kampagnen for at redde selskabet ender med at handle om Viktor, må han tage et valg: Vil han spille den rolle sin far vil have ham til at spille for at redde selskabet, eller skal han gå sine egne veje?
