Factory worker Karoline struggles to survive in a post-WWI Copenhagen. When she ends up unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, the charismatic Dagmar takes her in to help run an underground adoption agency. The two women form an unexpected bond, until a sudden revelation changes everything. Based on a chilling true story, this is an eerie and exquisite dark fairy tale about one woman's search for tenderness and morality in a cruel world with gorgeous cinematography with a spellbinding score.
