20/46

Inspired by a true story and directed by Magnus von Horn, THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE follows Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne), a young factory worker struggling to survive in post-World War I Copenhagen. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm), a charismatic woman who runs an underground adoption agency that helps mothers find foster homes for their unwanted children. Karoline takes on the role of a nurse because she has no other place to go. A strong bond forms between the two women, but Karoline’s world is shattered when she stumbles upon the shocking truth behind her work.
