A film adaptation of Marie Bregendahl's short novel En dødsnat (1912), a classic about loss, love and the move from child to adult. Set on a farm in the late 1800s, the story follows the eldest daughter, Lise, through one fateful day and night when her mother fights for her life in childbed. As the harvest goes on and the farm's housekeeper holds the household together, one birth goes wrong and everything changes in a single night.
The film is directed by Tea Lindeburg (2022) and features Flora Ofelia Hofmann, Kirsten Oiesen, Lisbet Dahl and Thure Lindhardt. It is part of the Historieklubben series at Brønshøj Library, but anyone is welcome.
