Inspired by true stories and directed by Magnus von Horn, THE NEEDLE GIRL follows a young factory worker, Caroline (Vika Carmen Sonne), who struggles to survive in post-World War I Copenhagen. When she is unemployed, abandoned, and pregnant, she meets Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm), a charismatic woman who runs an illegal adoption agency, helping mothers find foster homes for their unwanted children. With nowhere else to turn, Caroline takes on the role of wet nurse. The two women develop a strong bond, but Caroline’s world comes crashing down when she learns the shocking truth behind her job.
