Released in 1999, Gone with the Fish is a comedy and drama film directed by Lotte Svendsen, running about 116 minutes. “Real people. True Love. Easy Money. And big trouble.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Based on director Lotte Svendsen's own memories of her childhood on the Baltic island of Bornholm, but though it is set in 1981 the conflicts portrayed do not seem far away. At the start of the film Lars Erik and his wife Sonja are doing well on the Baltic island of Bornholm. Lars Erik is a successful fisherman, Sonja is a traditional housewife, proud of their new house bulging with consumer goods. Their love for each other is the sturdy footing on which their home is founded. Lars Erik employs three men on his trawler, and spends as fast as he earns, so when fishing quotas are cut he faces a crisis. One by one his men leave the boat, but he refuses to give up. Being a fisherman is like being a farmer - you depend on the wealth of mother nature herself. However, mother nature is like romance, highly capricious!

Who’s in it. Gone with the Fish stars Sofie Stougaard as Sonja, Henrik Lykkegaard as Lars Erik, Michelle Bjørn-Andersen as Karen and Isidor Torkar as Francisco, among others.
