IMDb

Karoline, a young factory worker, finds herself abandoned and pregnant while striving to climb out of poverty in post WWI Copenhagen. Amidst her struggles, she meets Dagmar, a charismatic woman running a hidden adoption agency within a candy store, helping poor mothers in finding foster homes for their unwanted children. To escape poverty, Karoline takes on the role of a wet-nurse. A strong connection is formed between the two women, yet Karoline’s world shatters as she stumbles upon the dreadful revelation of the nightmarish fate she unknowingly embraces.

"The main character, Karoline, is struggling to find a better life. But what is the right way of doing so? A cold world creates cold methods and Karoline's moral compass easily loses direction. The good looks bad and vice versa. We follow Karoline on a journey trying to escape poverty where she learns that it is easy to flirt with the devil but it takes a big effort to love. For a woman like Karoline, life becomes a living hell – and with this film I wanted to explore if it is possible to be good in hell." (Magnus von Horn)
