During Kaare and Hanne Eliassen's 25th anniversary, their teen model son Daniel, who was biting side pains until his exams, collapses and is diagnosed with potentially fatal chronic renal failure. Both parents are ready to donate a kidney for transplantation, but neither matches and Kaare discovers Hanne's 20 years secret: Kaare being presumed near-infertile, she had a 'loveless' but siring affair, which also generated Daniel's brat sister Emma, who encourages Kaare to fall for divorce and disown Hanna. Daniel needing a donor, Hanne desperately searches his biological father, who left town and has a rather common name: Leif Sörensen, only reported found by desperate radio appeal. The meteorologist lives in an island lighthouse, so Kaare, Hanne and Emma, who gets a mutual crush on helpful young fisherman Ronny Stene, sail hurried to the only man who can heal medical urgency, wondering what it will do to relationships, and Daniel finds out to.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
