Mads Mikkelsen stars, together with Amanda Collin, Simon Bennebjerg, Kristine Kujath Thorp, and Gustav Lindh. Arcel’s intro: “Aided by Ida Jessen’s sensible novel, Anders Thomas Jensen and I needed to inform a grand, epic story about how our ambitions and wishes will inevitably fail if they’re all now we have. Life is chaos; painful and unsightly, stunning and extraordinary, and we frequently can’t management it. Because the saying goes, ‘We make plans and God laughs.'” It is a harrowing story of human brutality and tenacity, a narrative of greed taking part in in opposition to hard-work. Mikkelsen is unbelievable, as all the time.

Through Venice: “In 1755, the impoverished captain Ludvig Kahlen units out to beat the cruel, uninhabitable Danish heath with a seemingly unimaginable objective: to construct a colony within the identify of the King. In alternate, he’ll obtain a desperately desired Royal identify for himself. However the sole ruler of the world, the cruel Frederik de Schinkel, arrogantly believes this land belongs to him. When de Schinkel learns the maid Ann Barbara and her servant husband have escaped for refuge with Kahlen, the privileged, spiteful ruler swears revenge, doing every thing in his energy to drive the captain away. Kahlen is not going to be intimidated and engages in an unequal battle — risking not solely his life, but in addition that of the household of outsiders that fashioned round him.”
