Danish emigre Jacob Petersen runs an orphanage helping street children in India. The orphanage is threatened with closure due to lack of money. Then a Danish businessman offers him a lifeline. He will donate 4 million dollars to the orphanage but only if Jacob attends his daughter’s wedding in Denmark. This innocent request has implications that will throw Jacob into a collision between past and future and will force him into the most difficult dilemma of his life. A powerful and intimate story from award winning director Susanne Bier. In Danish with English subtitles.
