THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE is the latest film by Magnus von Horn, our graduate and current lecturer at the Directing Department, produced by Mariusz Włodarski from Lava Films, graduate of the Film Art Organization Department and also lecturer at the Directing Department.
It is a huge success woven from other equally important achievements of the filmmakers. Let us note that the film:
* premiered in the Main Competition of this year's Cannes IFF;
* is the Danish entry for the Oscar in the category of Best International Feature Film
* was awarded the Silver Lions at the 49th Polish Feature Film Festival in Gdynia (and other individual awards).
Film synopsis:
Karoline, a young factory worker, tries to survive in Copenhagen just after World War I. When she becomes pregnant, loses her job and is left to her own devices, she meets Dagmar - the charismatic owner of an illegal adoption agency which helps mothers find new homes for their unwanted children. Having no alternative, Karoline takes a job with Dagmar as a wet nurse. The women establish a bond, but Karoline's world falls apart when she discovers the shocking truth about her employer.
THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE by Magnus von Horn is a disturbing story based on facts about a woman searching for love and a sense of morality.
