Hailed as "wonderful" by Leonard Maltin, this winner of the 1987 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film follows the epic journey of a father and son who leave their native Sweden to try to find a better life in Denmark. But they soon discover even harsher conditions upon their arrival in the new land, as they can only find work on a large farm run by an unsympathetic philanderer. A remarkable tale of passion, pain and the extraordinary triumph of the human spirit.
