Pia Konstantin Berg's first writing credit.

Fertility comedy in the Danish way. Here at home, the folk comedy shows time and time again that it adapts to the times and themes, but basically it is old wine in new bottles. Therefore, it is not so surprising that films such as "Lykkelige utsunden", "Esker dig for tidden" and now "Bytte byte baby" have been broadcast over the last six months. Because they look alike. Very much. You have to strike while the iron is hot. In general, our four main characters are nicely portrayed, but they do lack some nuance.

Bytte bytte baby" is a segmented genre film at its most calculated. Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg's film is aimed at the women who walk with a baby on their brain. Before, during and right after. And who can't think about anything else. Not at all. Because this is a portrait of a world where all people, without exception, don't think about anything else and can relate to the baby and relationship problems, translated as a bizarre fertility recruitment film. The action is created by the attempt at comedy by the conflicts and prejudices that emerge from cultural clashes. Young versus old. Rich and poor. Highly educated and artisans. Subdued men and strong women. Surplus men and hysterical women. Vegans and meat eaters. Colony garden on Amager and giant villa on Strandvejen. Grøn Tuborg and Riesling. So everyone can join.
