About us
Dir. Magnus von Horn, Denmark/Poland, 2024, 123 mins. In Danish with English subtitles. Cast. Vic Carmen Sonne, Trine Dyrholm, Besir Zeciri.
A standout selection from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, The Girl with the Needle is a dark fairytale about one woman's search for tenderness and morality in a cruel world.
Both eerie and exquisite, the film tracks young factory worker Karoline as she struggles to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen. When she ends up unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, the charismatic Dagmar takes her in to help run an underground adoption agency for unwanted children. The two women form an unexpected bond, until a sudden discovery changes everything.
Based on a chilling true story, The Girl with the Needle presents a masterful gothic vision with profound contemporary resonance.
