“The Girl with the Needle is most intriguing when it lingers in its disturbing fictions, which come to life with exceptional style.” —Natalia Winkelman, New York Times
A standout selection from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, 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-World War I 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 revelation changes everything.
