dark and very realistic

It is a dark and extremely realistic film. It is far from a Gothic horror movie as suggested by others here. Unless you think of the danish history and past to be... well a horror movie. However the horrific conditions of this countries past is displayed in a way that there is no romance left of the agricultural society of past days. Although it is also a kind of love story. It shows a young girls growing love for her husband to be. Chosen by her father to safe them from hunger. But is mainly the story of a father's love to his daughter. This is a very nordic film. You can not get further away from american mainstream movies where "feel good " is "a must have" for any production.
