On Our Own (1998)
Three siblings ingeniously avoid being sent off to a children's home while their solo-mother serves a short sentence in a prison for shoplifting. Rather than have the news leak out and have to be escorted off with the eccentric welfare officer, they invent a 'never present' dad who is looking after them. denmark, copenhagen, denmark, female prisoner, single mother, children on the run, childhood, woman director
