Many people are preparing their lives for a lifetime, to make it safe and secure. And then the fate's game of 24 hours can overturn everything.

1943 film by Bodil Ipsen

In broad daylight, a man runs at full speed across the Town Hall Square wearing a dress and white. People stare in amazement as he tries to grab a seat in a phone box to make a call. However, his story is even more incredible than they can imagine.

"Den Standhaftige tinnsoldat" is yet another of Ivo Caprino`s classic short-films, but this one is different from the others. Most of his other films are based on Norwegian fairytales, but this one is based on a fairytale written by H. C. Andersen, who was a famous Danish writer. "Den Standhaftige Tinnsoldat" proves to be in the same league as "Gutten som kappåt med trollet", "Den Sjuende Far i Huset" and "Askeladdens Gode Hjelpere". The movie is about the adventures of a tin soldier with one leg, and it follows the fairytale very closely, which is a nice thing
