“A Legend for Today”

Synopsis

When the farmer Morten Borgen (Henrik Malberg) looks at his three sons, he sees three different faiths. Anders holds to his father's belief, Mikkel (Emil Hass Christensen) has lost his, and Johannes (Preben Lerdorff Rye) walks the farm declaring that he is Jesus Christ. Carl Theodor Dreyer sets the family in 1955 Denmark, and then Inger (Birgitte Federspiel), Mikkel's wife, goes into a difficult childbirth, and every one of those beliefs has to answer to it.
