In the late 19th century, Peter Sidenius is an ambitious young man from a devout Christian family in Western Denmark, who travels to the Danish capital of Copenhagen to study engineering, rebelling against his clergyman father. He comes into contact with the intellectual circles of a wealthy, Jewish family and seduces the elder daughter, Jakobe. Per, as he now calls himself, conceives a large-scale engineering project including the construction of a series of canals in his native Jutland, and lobbies for its construction. But just as Per seems to be about to make his dreams come true, his pride stands in the way. 再谈“悲”与“惨”。《幸运儿彼尔》影评。 比尔（埃斯本·司米德·詹森 Esben Smed Jensen 饰）怀揣着他建造“北方威尼斯”的梦想来到了哥本哈根，然而，因为比尔的设想太过于离谱，所以在寻求资本的过程中，比尔频频碰壁，很快就落得身无分文的下场，生活开窍全靠同样并不富裕的餐厅女招待接济。 一次偶然中，比尔遇见了名为伊万（本杰明·基特 Benjamin Kitter 饰）的亿万富翁，伊万对比尔的企划非常的感兴趣，决定凭借自己家族雄厚的财力对他给予支持。在和伊万相处的过程中，比尔先后爱上了伊万的妹妹南妮（朱莉·克里斯汀森 Julie Christiansen 饰）和姐姐雅克比（卡塔林·格雷-罗森塔尔 Katrine Greis-Rosenthal 饰），并最终和雅克比携手步入了婚姻的殿堂。
