A dark social drama with references to Gothic and real-life horror: Magnus von Horn's "The Girl with the Needle" combines many approaches to create a film shot in striking black and white, which is also based on real events.

Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne), a young factory worker, struggles through life in Copenhagen after the First World War. Unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm), a charismatic woman who runs a secret adoption agency and helps mothers find foster families for their unwanted children. In her time of need, Karoline takes on the role of a wet nurse, and a close relationship soon develops between the two women. But Karoline's world comes apart at the seams when she discovers the shocking truth behind her work. Based on a true story and directed by Magnus von Horn, "The Girl with the Needle" tells the harrowing tale of a woman in search of love and morality.
