Released in 1990, Syrup is a drama and family film directed by Helle Ryslinge.

What it’s about. In this wry comedy, the self-deceiving exploits of Lasse (Peter Hesse Overgaard), are shown, as he more or less innocently runs small cons on the people in his life, all the while sponging off of his girlfriend in a bohemian quarter of Copenhagen. He is a no-count, but fairly handsome young stud who imagines that he is some sort of art promoter, or is perhaps even a video artist himself.

Who’s in it. Syrup stars Peter Hesse Overgaard as Lasse, Kirsten Lehfeldt as Ditte, Steen Svare as Jesper and Henrik Scheele as Terje, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.6/10, Syrup has proved divisive with audiences.
