Magnus van Horn's nightmare will have you on the edge of your seat.

Nominated for the Oscar® for Best International Feature Film, The Girl with the Needle is a dark fairy tale about one woman's search for tenderness and morality in a cruel world. Both eerie and exquisite, writer-director Magnus von Horn's latest film tracks young factory worker Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne) as she struggles to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen.

When she ends up unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, the charismatic Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm) 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.
