Badehotellet

It is summer once again, and Mrs Andersen and the girls are opening the hotel for a new season. The year is 1930 and the World War is lurking outside the country borders. But quite different matters preoccupy the guests. Merchant Madsen is fighting to recover his position after going bankrupt last year. Mrs Aurland is afraid her husband will discover the truth - that he isn't the father of their newborn son. Amanda is back in her marriage with Count Ditmar but she is still dreaming of Max. And the royal actor Mr Weyse, arrives in the company of a young student actress, who turns out to be a girl with many different talents.

A vagabond, who has news of Morten, is hosted at the hotel and makes an impression on one of the girls especially. Amanda and Count Ditmar return to the hotel after the funeral of the old Count, and accompanying them is Ditmar's mother, who starts to get a sense of what is going on between Amanda and Max. At the same time, a visit is expected from two reputable gentlemen, who are going to assess whether Count Ditmar is suited to replace his father in the Danish Upper House. Merchant Madsen is vigorously trying to acquire funding for his new construction project . Meanwhile Mr Frigh is becoming more and more infatuated with Mr Weyse's young student, Miss Kitty Hansen.

Merchant Madsen has pawned his wife's jewellery in order to gain the capital he needs for his new construction project. This steers the marriage into troubled waters and Mrs Madsen is very upset. But she receives an unexpected helping hand when the mysterious lawyer Kvist moves into the hotel. Amanda has moved in with Max in his summer cottage at the beach, but she fears that Ditmar will act on his threat to cut off the financial support he is providing her parents. Mr Weyse is doing his best to protect young Miss Kitty from Mr Frigh's approaches but he must face the fact that she has a mind of her own. Morten's old childhood home is suddenly sold, which finally gives Mrs Andersen and Fie a reason to contact him.

Amanda and Count Ditmar come to an agreement on how to handle their pro forma marriage, but neither Ditmar's mother nor Max quite agree with their plan. When she is led to believe that Mrs Fjeldsø is sick, Miss Vetterstrøm returns to the hotel from Copenhagen and the two sisters finally talk it all out over a bottle of liqueur. Weyse is suddenly called in for a meeting at the theatre in Copenhagen, where they have received an anonymous letter which threatens the actor's career. Fie's father moves into the little smallholding where Morten used to live - this stirs old emotions within Fie, but the discovery of a naked man on the beach soon takes her mind off of it.
 

Amanda og Ditmar er blevet enige om, hvordan de skal håndtere deres proformaægteskab, men hverken Ditmars mor eller Max er helt med på den plan.
Frøken Vetterstrøm vender tilbage fra København, da hun fejlagtigt tror, at fru Fjeldsø er syg. De to søstre får endelig talt ud godt hjulpet af en flaske likør. 
Weyse kaldes pludselig til møde på teatret, der har modtaget et anonymt brev, der truer den gode skuespillers karriere.
Og så flytter Fies far ind i det lille husmandssted, hvor Morten har boet. Det vækker gamle følelser hos Fie, men fundet af en nøgen mand på stranden får hende snart på andre tanker.

Both Max and Mr Frigh are suffering from heartache. Max is hurting because Amanda has put him on ice after he messed up in front of Count Ditmar's mother. Mr Frigh is troubled because the subject of his longings, the young Miss Kitty, has gone back to Copenhagen with Mr Weyse. But then both men  receive letters which renew their hope. After having moved into the new house, Fie's father is dismayed by his sad destiny. Mrs Andersen decides to cheer him up and she succeeds beyond expectation. And then, in the middle of it all, a very prominent guest arrives at the hotel - Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning, himself.

Både Max og fabrikant Frigh lider af kærlighedssorger. Max fordi Amanda har lagt ham på is, efter han kvajede sig over for Ditmars mor. Frigh fordi hans længsels genstand, den unge skuespillerelev Kitty Hansen, er rejst tilbage til København. Men så modtager de to herrer begge et brev, der skaber fornyet håb. 
Fies far er flyttet ind på husmandsstedet og plages af mismod over sin triste skæbne. Fru Andersen sætter sig for at muntre ham op. Det lykkes over al forventning. 
Og midt i det hele får hotellet pludselig besøg af selveste statsminister Thorvald Stauning.

Mr Frigh visits Miss Kitty in Copenhagen and decides to go back to the hotel to put his cards on the table. But how do you tell your wife that you are leaving her? Mr Frigh decides to seek advice with the most experienced person on the matter, namely Mr Weyse. At the same time, Merchant Madsen and Max are impatiently waiting for an answer from the architect competition, which could kick-start their business. For Mrs Aurland on the other hand, the waiting is over - if her husband has figured out that he is not the father of their child, it is about time she tells him the truth, whatever the cost. But then Mr Weyse receives a long-waited call, which turns everything upside down.

Fabrikant Frigh har besøgt Kitty i København og beslutter at tage tilbage til hotellet for at lægge kortene på bordet. Men hvordan fortæller man sin kone, at man forlader hende? Frigh vælger at søge råd hos den mest erfarne på området, skuespiller Weyse. 
Samtidig venter Max og grosserer Madsen utålmodigt på svar fra arkitektkonkurrencen, der kan sætte gang i forretningen. 
For fru Aurland er ventetiden derimod slut. Hvis hendes mand har fundet ud af, han ikke er far til deres barn, er det på høje tid, hun får talt ud med ham, koste hvad det vil. Men så modtager Weyse en længe ventet opringning, der vender op og ned på det hele.

The seasons have changed and it is the fall of 1930. Edward Weyse has been fired from the theatre and now makes a living by playing the piano, accompanying silent films at the cinema. Amanda, who is now working as the assistant of the self-absorbed and choleric film director Gerhard Flügelhorn, pays Mr Weyse a visit along with her new boss, who offers Weyse a part in his new film. The hotel is extraordinarily opened out of season, in order for the final scenes of the film to be shot in peaceful and quiet surroundings. Unfortunately, the rumours of the exciting filming have reached the regular summer guests and suddenly the film crew is no longer alone at the hotel. Mrs Andersen has fallen ill and is staying with Fie's father, who is convinced that she would feel better if she told Morten her great secret.
