THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE

Academy Award nominee for Best International Feature!

A standout selection from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE is a dark fairy tale about one woman’s search for tenderness and morality in a cruel world.

Based on a chilling true story, writer-director Magnus von Horn’s latest film tracks young factory worker Karoline as she struggles to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen. When she ends up unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, the charismatic Dagmar takes her in to help run an underground adoption agency for unwanted children. The two form an unexpected bond, until a sudden revelation changes everything.

Now nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards® and a Golden Globes nominee for Best Motion Picture, Non-English Language, THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE also features EFA-nominated performances from Vic Carmen Sonne and Trine Dyrholm, gorgeous cinematography by EO’s Michał Dymek, and a spellbinding score by Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary).
