Inspired by a true story and directed by Magnus von Horn, The Girl with the Needle tells the story of Karolina (Vic Carmen Zonne), a young factory worker struggling to survive in post-World War I Copenhagen. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm), a charismatic woman who runs an underground adoption agency that helps mothers find adoptive families for their unwanted children. With no one else to turn to, Caroline takes on the role of nanny. A strong bond forms between the two women, but Caroline’s world is shattered when she learns the shocking truth behind her work.
