The Girl with the Needle
Directed by Magnus von Horn
Produced by Lava Films, Nordisk Film Sweden
A bleak, intimate historical drama about exploitation and moral corruption set in post-war Copenhagen, built on the tension between apparent kindness and hidden monstrosity.
Struggling to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen, a newly unemployed and pregnant young woman is taken in by a charismatic elder to help run an underground adoption agency. The two form an unexpected bond, until a sudden discovery changes everything.
