A long, wet night in the city results in a serious case of hangovers. Mr. Knold must realise this when he has to start his day’s work after only a few hours of sleep. From the moment he leaves the house until he returns and collapses in the middle of his wife’s coffee gathering, his day is filled with troubles. It’ll probably be a while before Knold is up for another round. Stumfilm.dk
