I'd almost given up on an English-friendly version of this ever turning up, but one has finally arrived. Here's why you should care:
Director: Susanne Bier (Open Hearts, Brothers)
Writer: Anders Thomas Jensen (Green Butchers, Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, Mifune, too many others to list)
Star: Mads Mikkelsen (Pusher, Adam's Apples, Casino Royale)
That, boys and girls, is a major collision of talent. Here's the synopsis:
"Jacob Petersen has dedicated his life to helping street children in India. When the orphanage he heads is threatened by closure, he receives an unusual offer. A Danish businessman, J√∏rgen, offers him a donation of $4 million dollars. There are, however, certain conditions...
Not only must Jacob return to Denmark, he must also take part in the wedding of J√∏rgen's daughter. The wedding proves to be a critical juncture between past and future and catapults Jacob into the most intense dilemma of his life."

IFC Films will release this movie in US.
Do you know when they're releasing it in the US? It came out when I was living in Denmark and I've been waiting and waiting for the subtitled version because although I could've gotten the gist of it in Danish, it's hard to catch the language subtleties in the theatre.
