Generations EP 3‒4

The mummified skeleton of an infant is found in the attic of 87-year-old Martha’s house. To the astonishment of Martha’s family, her estranged daughter, Tina, and her adult granddaughters Rikke and Anso, Martha claims it is her child, confesses to a crime, and wishes to accept the punishment for it. However Rikke, a lawyer, is determined to find out what actually happened. As the Covid pandemic slowly starts spreading, presenting people with new challenges, Tina discovers inexplicable patterns in the mudflats of sparsely populated Jutland … Some things smoulder away, hidden for generations, just getting bigger over time. Director Anna Emma Haudal’s emotional series highlights the connection between dreams and traumas, mysteries and fantasies – and tells of the complex realities that women had to contend with in various decades. We are screening the first two episodes of this six-part series.
