Synopsis:
Mads Mikkelsen plays Jacob who works at an orphanage in India. He is Danish but hasn't lived in Denmark for 20 years. The orphanage lacks funds, as always, and he is contacted about a large Danish donation. J¿rgen, played by Rolf LassgŒrd, is the benefactor and he makes it a condition that Jacob himself comes to Denmark to sign the papers. J¿rgen's daughter is marrying Bo, and Jacob is invited to the wedding. Upon arrival he discovers that the mother of the bride, who is also the benefactor's wife, is the love of his youth, Helene, played by Sidse Babett Knudsen. The wedding becomes a landmark meeting between past and future and puts Jacob in the dilemma of his life.
