Gert is a nurse who is appointed headmistress of a special state-owned children's home in Greenland, 1951. The children's home accommodates 16 carefully selected Greenlandic children, who have just come home after a year of civilization in Denmark. They are to act as role models for the Greenlandic community. Gert is idealistic and ambitious and feels passionate about saving Greenland from destitution and hopes to help spearhead Greenland's transformation from being a poor hunter society to being an equal part of Denmark. But her blind faith in the experiment leads her to underestimate the obvious personal costs to the children. And when both children and state fail her, she finds it harder and harder to maintain her idealism… (Zlín Film Festival)

That even Denmark messed up in the past is no surprise to me. Every country has something in its past that it is not proud of. This, however, was a capital fuck-up and it seemed to me that the authors couldn’t really say it out loud and they kept beating about the bush. Or actually, they tell you what happened at the very beginning and then nothing happens only for them to tell you at the end that it’s all fucked but we will pretend everything is OK. The final scene in which the kids from Greenland sing almost got me crying. But what the result was other than a couple of ruined lives, nobody will tell you.
