"GREAT!" GP

Denmark, 1913, just before World War I. One evening, the noble cadet Anton is invited to a ball at Baron Løvenskjold's magnificent manor. Unsuspectingly, he invites the baron's beautiful daughter Edith, but since she is lame in both legs, she finds herself in an extremely embarrassing situation. Tormented by feelings of guilt, Anton becomes a frequent guest at the manor and Edith quickly falls in love with him. But Anton's feelings are only about friendship and pity. Unable to be honest with Edith, Anton entangles himself in a web of increasingly worse lies and promises that quickly approaches a life-threatening level.

With THE KISS, Bille August is back with a new success to add to the list of great successes such as the Oscar-winning Pelle the Conqueror, the Palme d'Or-winning The Good Will and the international blockbusters The House of the Spirits and Les Misérables. The film is based on Stefan Zweig's novel The Trouble with the Heart and in the major roles we see Esben Smed, Clara Rosager, Lars Mikkelsen and David Dencik.
