The Danish Woman

Trine Dyrholm shines as a retired intelligence agent who will stop at nothing to make the world a better place - starting in her own apartment building.

Ditte Jensen (Dyrholm) has planned a quiet life in Reykjavik. She cherishes her garden plot and takes an active interest in her local community. But reality rarely aligns with her ideals, and before long she begins “helping” her neighbours using her own highly original methods - whether they want it or even realize it. A delicious sense of anarchy makes this slightly unhinged story irresistible, heightened by unexpected and exuberant musical and dance numbers led by Dyrholm herself. Created and directed by festival favourite Benedikt Erlingsson (Woman at War), together with Ólafur Egill Egilsson.
