There is an atmosphere of jubilant optimism and upheaval. New technical marvels such as automobiles, telephones and airplanes are being hailed by the great artists and intellectuals of the time. Johannes V. Jensen, Georg Brandes and Agnes Henningsen are in tune with the times and are living the sweet bohemian life in Copenhagen. Asta Nielsen, on the other hand, shocks the whole world with her daring dance in the film "The Abyss". But liberation, faith in progress and democracy are reserved for the few. The miserable conditions of the working class are portrayed by the author Martin Andersen Nexø and the painter Aksel Jørgensen. Women still do not have the right to vote or artistic respect, and Thit Jensen fights fiercely for equality. As World War I breaks out, any optimism drowns in horror. See less
