Denmark, 1755. Captain Ludvig Kahlen sets out to conquer a Danish heath reputed to be uncultivable, with an impossible goal: to establish a colony in the name of the king, in exchange for a royal title. A single-minded ambition that the ruthless lord of the region will relentlessly seek to put down. Kahlen’s fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life…?

Viewing Notes
Here for the Sad Mads. I’d like to read or watch an interview with him where he discusses what draws him to these characters that struggle with tortured lives and/or faced with survival against all odds. Ofc he’s great in these roles but damn.
Overall a great movie about stubborn men and egos and the lengths to which they will sacrifice to overcome and win the winless battle. I cried 3x so 8 stars out of ten.
