The Danish film "Pigen med nålen" is poised to make its debut at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. Directed by Swedish filmmaker Magnus Von Horn, whose talent earned him a "Guldbagge" for Best Directing at the 2016 Swedish Film Awards Guldbaggegalan for his work on "Efterskalv."
Starring Vic Carmen Sonne as the protagonist Karoline and featuring Trine Dyrholm in the role of Dagmar, the film unfolds against the backdrop of 1918. The story revolves around Karoline, a young widow who lost her life partner in the Great War. Facing ostracism from her family after becoming pregnant out of wedlock by a coworker, Karoline reluctantly agrees to entrust her children to a new acquaintance, Dagmar.
Titled "The Girl With the Needle" in English, "Pigen med nålen" is not only set to premiere but will also contend for the coveted Palme d'Or at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
