Based on the works of Nobel Prize winner Martin Nisso, the film describes the late 19th century, an old Swedish farmer, Raskasen, who immigrated to Denmark with his only young son, Pell, in pursuit of their ideal kingdom. It's a pity that the only job they can find is as a horse porch worker in a stone farm. At night, they can only sleep on the thatch pile with the horses. The father and son who have been humiliated have witnessed all kinds of darkness and evil in the manor. Eric, the long-term worker in the manor, led the workers to rebel against the tyranny of the housekeeper. Later, due to an accident, he became dementia and disabled. Encouraged by his brave spirit, Pell decided to leave the manor and inherit Eric's desire to conquer the world.
The original is a well-known classic in Denmark. The film has been modified to a certain extent to remove the sadness and sarcasm in the original, making it too formal and mediocre, lacking the layering of ups and downs; The experience showed the audience the cruelty of the ruling class of feudal society represented by farms and the awakening of the working people represented by long-term workers. In addition to its rich content, the majestic and beautiful images created by the photographer are indispensable. Actor modeling and acting are realistic and natural, Peer is especially good. The film has won Best Picture at Cannes, Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, and Best Picture at the European Film Awards.
