Synopsis
The One and Only (Den eneste ene, 1999) is a Danish romantic comedy directed by Susanne Bier — watch it online on iFILM. Sus finds out her husband has been sleeping with a client the same afternoon a kitchen fitter shows up to install her new suite. His name is Niller. Sidse Babett Knudsen and Niels Olsen lead the cast, with Paprika Steen and Sofie Gråbøl in supporting roles.
Niller has a life back home with Lizzie. They're in the process of adopting a girl from Burkina Faso. Everything is more or less in order. Then he meets Sus, and something in both of them shifts — the quiet kind of shift that's hard to explain and harder to ignore.
Bier made this before Brothers and After the Wedding brought her to international attention. It's lighter than those films, funnier, and completely unsentimental about what love actually looks like when it shows up at an inconvenient time. Stream The One and Only (1999) online on iFILM.
