Danish term or phrase: tur rundt om Danmark (se kontekst)
Jeg forsaetter med filmen af Lars von Trier. Der er igen noget jeg ikke rigtigt kan forstå. Det handler sig om stukken mellem ****. Menes det letterligt, "en tur rundt om Danmark", eller hvad?

For øvrigt, til advokaten som har sat kontrakten op….sidetallet nede midt inde i teksten, det er noget rod.. Op øverst på siden med den, eller ned i bunden, det gir et meget bedre overblik…
….ja, jeg ved ikke hvordan det var med håndskrifterne, det kan være det var derfor de sku ***en tur rundt om Danmark***…. for at blive pagineret…Ha, ha….

English translation:right across the country and back
Explanation:
right across the country and back
(right across Denmark and back)

- all the way round the mulberry bush
- to the end of the pier and back

I think this just means 'make a long detour' or 'make things unnecessarily complicated', and any colourful expression like that would fit.
