"Parassiterne" is a 1958 TV film based on Carl Erik Soya's 1929 play. The story follows a group of con artists who live parasitically off others, hiding their true nature behind a facade of normalcy. The film is a stark caricature that exposes human nature and the hidden sides of society. Known for its sharp dialogue and in-depth character portraits, DR's 1958 TV adaptation has contributed to its enduring popularity in Danish culture.
