THE DENMARK OF WINDMILLS

THE DENMARK OF WINDMILLS
HOW MANY people have been inside a working mill, listening to the rumbling of the cog wheels and following the surrounding movements of technology ... And who can explain why the arms of windmills are turning ...

MODERN DANISH WINDMILL TCHNOLOGY is a fairytale which at the turn of the millennium accounts for more than half of the world's wind power. On this background, the film is an Odyssey through old Danish water- and windmills holding centuries of technical invention and development.

With shrewdness and ingenuity anonymous engineers and millwrights have through the ages developed solutions, interacting with water and wind, in order to improve man's first machines - first and foremost technology for milling grains for the daily bread.

'THE DENMARK OF WINDMILLS' puts past and present technological innovations into perspective. On that background, we will witness the eternal interaction of technology, nature, and man.

We will be reminded that previous generations came up with solutions which are at least as brilliant - bearing in mind conditions at the time when they were created.
