Sapphic Sunday:

Brinck was the Danish contestant for the ESC. And even if he didn’t get very far – congratulations Norway! – I would like to mention him in this Sapphic Sunday.
Not because of his participation in the ESC, but because he’s done other things – within the music.

Another thing he did was to write - and sing (along with Maria Marcus) - the theme song for the Danish television series called Anna Pihl.

The trailer


The entire song:

There are some clips from the series in this video - a few hot ones as well ;o)

Anna Pihl is a single mom - and a cop.
Recently moved to Copenhagen and in need for a place to stay.
Her new roommate – Jan - is gay. He may not be one of the leading characters but he’s the primary supporting actor (IMO). And there’s a storyline in it for him as well.



During the 3 seasons we follow Jan in different relationships. (Not a lot of graphic gay action, but hints…). And one of his major issues is to start a family. Not being a lesbian he doesn’t get pregnant by accident – or otherwise – but he advertises for a lesbian (or a lesbian couple) who wants to start a family with him. And succeeds in finding one. There’s some issues regarding custody, but if you plan on watching the show I won’t spoil it for you.






As I recall one of Anna Pihl’s colleagues is a lesbian as well.
Anyway.

If you like crime solving series (albeit in a rather slow tempo – and solely revolving around Danish/Scandinavian issues) and gorgeous women (including prison scenes) then it’s a must see.
Otherwise… Never mind this post :o)

Charlotte Munch (who plays Anna Pihl) ‘dabbled’ with dating girls in her younger days. Although she’s currently living in a ‘heterosexual’ relationship she fondly remembers her girlfriends.

Also she played the straight girl in the Danish gay comedy Shake It All About who falls in love (and bed) with the lead gay guy.



Iben Hjejle plays Mikala (Anna’s friend and fellow cop – who gets herself in trouble…and jail…)





Anne-Grethe Bjarup Riis plays the lesbian Therese with whom Jan get’s a kid.
And Anne-Grethe is not afraid about publicity: Warning! Nudity.
