Mikkelsen plays a retired captain who, by decision of the Danish king, is sent to clear a vacant lot on the outskirts of the country. Upon arriving at the place and beginning to settle in, the main character changes his vision of life and meets the love of his life. But then a scheming landowner appears in the captain’s life who wants to deprive the local residents of everything.
The film was well received at the Venice Film Festival, although some American critics complained that the film was “not inclusive enough” due to a lack of “racial diversity.” By the way, the film itself describes events that occurred in Denmark in the 17th century.
