Someone is trying to cover up a terrible secret and they will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep My from discovering the truth.

Christoffer (Ulrich Thomsen) pertenece a la cuarta generación de la familia propietaria de la prestigiosa Planta Siderúrgica Borch Møller, pero él ha abandonado el negocio familiar para abrir un restaurante en Estocolmo. Allí está felizmente casado con una actriz sueca, Maria (Lisa Werlinder), pero cuando su padre se suicida, la madre de Christoffer (Ghita Nørby) le exige que vuelva a casa para asumir el puesto de director ejecutivo de la compañía. A regañadientes, regresa para hacerse cargo de la Dinastía familiar. Esto pilla de sorpresa a su esposa, a su hermana Benedikte (Karina Skands), y al marido de ésta, Ulrik (Lars Brygmann), que hasta entonces era considerado como el candidato más obvio al puesto. Christoffer se ve forzado a adoptar medidas drásticas para salvar a la compañía de la amenaza de ruina, y esto le crea tensiones con su familia y con Maria. La herencia tiene un precio personal que él se ve obligado a pagar al completo...

When the humiliation and grief of his eldest son's shooting rampage and subsequent suicide threatens to pull him under, a brokenhearted father (Rasmus Lyberth) leaves his family and tight-knit community and heads into Greenland's bleak landscape. As he journeys forth on an antiquated dogsled with no destination, he eventually finds solace -- and the soul he lost long ago -- in the form of a mystical hermit (Anda Kristiansen).

Maria grows up in a seedy 1960s working class neighborhood, the daughter of an ambitious emigrant father and soon caught up in her own dangerously one track-minded pursuit of a violinist's career. A rich gallery of highly original characters contribute, for better and for worse, to Maria's coming of age. Based on Kirsten Thorup's critically acclaimed 1982 novel, filmed by Morten Arnfred.
