Christmas on Vesterbro
Jul på Vesterbro
2003 · TV series · 14 min episodes · 1 season
Created by Anders Matthesen, Thomas Hartmann
Christmas has brought blessings - just not to Stewart Stardust. Someone has sabotaged the engine of his hot dog cart, and it's at the worst possible time. Danny has just been released on parole, and the social worker Arne demands that someone can provide for him - otherwise he will go back to the trap. As if that wasn't enough, the caretaker Greta threatens to put Stewart on the street if he doesn't pay his rent promptly. Fortunately, Kefir the Arab shows up and he wants to fix the hot dog cart for free. It is immediately a good offer, but what interest would he have in a sausage van standing in front of Christiansborg? And can you really repair an engine with the warhead from a Russian SS-20 nuclear missile?

This kind of reminds me of the Danish Christmas calendar (a TV-show with an episode for each day in December until the 24th). In this show all characters were played by the same actor, Anders Matthesen[1], a Danish stand-up comedian, actor and rapper. The show was named "Jul på Vesterbro" and in many of the shots characters sit side-by-side and interact. Along with this, there were camera movements and minor visual and sound effects. To do this, the camera was mounted on a robotic arm which could move in the precisely same way. For each scene and for each character, Matthesen would do the acting and then in the editing room they would cut the performances together.
I can't really find any sources on it, I only remember a Danish documentary about the creation of the show.
