THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE

European Film Awards Feature Film Selection 2024 (29 films) • 2h 2m

PIGEN MED NÅLEN
Denmark, Poland, Sweden

Karoline, a young factory worker, is struggling to survive in post WW1 Copenhagen. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar, a charismatic woman running an underground adoption agency, helping mothers to find foster homes for their unwanted children. With nowhere else to turn, Karoline takes on the role of a wet-nurse. A strong connection is formed between the two women, but Karoline’s world shatters when she stumbles upon the shocking truth behind her work. Inspired by a true story and directed by Magnus von Horn (THE HERE AFTER, SWEAT), THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE is an unsettling tale about a woman struggling to find love and a sense of morality.
