The Girl with the Needle
dir. Magnus von Horn · 2024
The struggle to survive often leads individuals into morally complex situations that challenge their understanding of right and wrong.
Karoline, a young pregnant woman, takes a job as a wet nurse for Dagmar, who runs a secretive adoption agency disguised as a candy shop. As Karoline becomes entwined in Dagmar's world, the dark realities of her choices and the lives of the mothers she assists begin to unravel. Watching this film is like stepping into a shadowy realm where every decision carries weight, and the line between right and wrong blurs into a haunting ambiguity.
In Copenhagen, young pregnant Karoline takes on a position as a wet nurse for an older woman named Dagmar to help support herself. Dagmar operates a clandestine adoption agency under the guise of a candy shop, assisting disadvantaged mothers place their unwanted newborns in foster homes. Karoline grows close to Dagmar, but she is soon faced with the nightmarish reality she unwittingly entered.
