Elvis Hansen, en samfundshjælper

In Nørrebro, in a property ripe for redevelopment, only one family remains: the Hansens. With Elvis as the head of the family. A welfare recipient who, sitting on the sofa with a beer in his hand, can fix the whole world situation, and Herdis Hansen, the all-embracing wife who provides electricity for her husband's TV and strolls around in a fur coat "given" to her by their son Brian. Despite the king's bailiff Kjeldsen's countless attempts to evict the Hansen family, Elvis manages to fend him off every time. To get them to move, he is offered director Knudsen's new headquarters, a villa in an affluent neighborhood in Charlottenlund, as a temporary solution.

Directed by Jan Hertz, Elvis Hansen, en samfundshjælper leans on a strong ensemble — Steen Springborg, Poul Bundgaard, Ove Sprogøe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1988.
