1834 – 1835
When old brewer Chresten Jacobsen is carried into the brewery yard with another stroke, 15-year-old Laura arrives in Copenhagen. She is going to visit the Jacobsen family, and she tries hard to get into the life of her cousin Jacob. But he only has eyes for his beer brewing and the girl he is in love with.
1836 – 1839
After Chresten's death, Jacob is now the brewer in Brolæggerstræde, and he has great ambitions to brew proper beer. However, even after a study trip to Hamburg and many attempts, he fails. Meanwhile, Laura longingly observes from the kitchen regions that everyone else is getting engaged or getting married. Caroline is aware of everything that is happening in the family, and she uses her means of power discreetly but firmly.
1840 – 1844
JC and Laura attends the coronation of Christian VIII — and they're aware that the time of absolute monarchy is soon over. Shortly afterwards, Laura gives birth to a son, who dies after only ten days. While she's burdened with grief, JC throws himself into work. Fortunately, Laura becomes pregnant again and gives birth to another son, Carl — but in the meantime, JC has also secretly fathered another son.
1844 – 1847
Little Carl does not live up to JC's high expectations and is pressured by his father's 'you can do what you want' philosophy. JC is also unhappy with his wife Laura and is rarely home – he spends almost all his time at the brewery, where he works on a large and innovative expansion.
1847 – 1848
Carl begins his schooling and becomes an easy victim of ridicule and teasing. JC works tirelessly with the construction of his new brewery – Carlsberg in Valby – and simultaneously takes an active part in political developments, as the autocracy is on the decline and the country goes to war. Laura feels more and more powerless in relation to both JC and Carl.
1849 – 1854
When Carl and his only friend are no longer allowed to play together, Carl is left completely to himself and his imagination. JC uses his few free moments to introduce Carl to science and art, but is generally dissatisfied with his son's achievements. The war against the Schleswig-Holsteins claims its victims — and then the great cholera epidemic breaks out in Copenhagen.
1862 – 1864
Carl has graduated high school, but continues to struggle to live up to his father's great expectations. JC has become the leading industrial magnate of his time and gives large gifts to the public. Meanwhile, Danish soldiers are going to war again — and Carl wants to join and fight for his country.
1864 – 1867
Denmark has lost the war to Prussia and Austria, and the defeat is humiliating for the survivors and the government. In that atmosphere, JC and Laura celebrate their silver anniversary, which ends in rage and tears when Carl tells about his future plans. Carl gets engaged without his father's knowledge — and JC demands that the engagement be called off.
