AFTER THE WEDDING
SYNOPSIS
Jacob (Mads Mikkelsen) works at a woefully under-
financed orphanage in Bombay. Devoted to the
children, and desperate for funds, he is compelled to
return to his native Denmark for the first time in over
twenty years, to pursue a potential donation from
Jorgen (Rolf Lassgard), a wealthy entrepreneur.
Upon his arrival in Copenhagen, Jacob is invited to
attend the wedding of Jorgen’s favorite daughter. At
the ceremony Jacob unwittingly walks headlong into
his past.
Susanne Bier together with Anders Thomas Jensen
developed their story as a natural extension of their
previous collaborations, the award-winning and
critically acclaimed “Open Hearts” and “Brothers.”
The film was produced by Sisse Graum Jorgensen;
executive produced by Peter Aalback Jensen and
Peter Garde; edited by Pernille Bech Christensen
and photographed by Morten Søborg. The film was
made on location in Denmark and India.--©IFC Films
