The setting is the small Andersens Hotel by the North Sea in the northernmost part of Jutland in the summer of 1928, where the hotel's wealthy summer regulars and the hard-working local employees reunite as they have done for many years. They look at life very differently, but every summer their worlds merge when they meet at the hotel, and here amid the sandy grass dunes there is room for hope, secrets and showdowns.

9/10

We enjoyed this series. It offered strong writing and acting, apparent even dependi upon subtitles as we were. It did seem like the male characters were very quick to fall in love with the men. And why did Edward Heyse always sing in English, anyway?

But we like the series, not exactly binge watching it, but still nearly watching a show per day.

You've reached the end.
