After the Wedding (Efter Brylluppet, Denmark, 2006) ☆☆☆☆☆

Once again I had the opportunity to watch an extraordinary Danish film, this time from director Suzanne Bier. The manager of an orphanage in India, Mikkelsen, is sent back to Copenhague to renew his funds contact to keep the orphanage open for another year. During this trip, he finds out that the rich guy who is about to give the money is having his daughtter's wedding that very weekend. He invites Mikkelsen to the wedding party. Upon arriving at the wedding, Mikkelsen realizes that the rich guy's wife was actually her ex-wife, and that the girl that is getting married is her own daughter, who he believed never existed. Not only that, there is a really tragic secret that I will not reveal here, but it all makes Mikkelsen's life change dramatically.. for the better or the worst?
