Denmark, 1755. Retired army captain Ludvig Kahlen battles the elements, the prejudice of naysayers and the hostility of the local nobility when he resolves to settle on the remote peninsula of Jutland and cultivate its uninhabitable heathland, from which many have failed to yield crops for centuries.

Having obtained official backing from the king, Kahlen is promised a noble title if he should succeed. With no allies other than a young priest, no money other than his meagre army pension and no workers to toil the unforgiving land, Kahlen sets out on his seemingly impossible project regardless.

From Bafta-nominated writer and director Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) comes a powerful Nordic epic starring Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, Another Round).

In Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German, with English subtitles.
