“A Legend for Today”
Drama
The three sons of devout Danish farmer Morten have widely disparate religious beliefs. Youngest son Anders shares his father's religion, but eldest son Mikkel has lost his faith, while middle child Johannes has become delusional and proclaims that he is Jesus Christ himself. When Mikkel's wife, Inger goes into a difficult childbirth, everyone's beliefs are put to the test.
VIBE
A deeply spiritual and somber examination of faith tested by tragedy. Its deliberate pace and stark visuals immerse you in a world where belief is a matter of life and death, culminating in profound, almost unbearable, emotional weight.
