Inspired by a true story and directed by Magnus von Horn, THE NEEDLE GIRL follows Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne), a young factory worker struggling to survive in post-World War I Copenhagen. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned, and pregnant, she meets Dagmar (Trine Dyrholm), a charismatic woman who runs a secret adoption agency that helps mothers find adoptive homes for their unwanted children. With nowhere else to go, Karoline takes on the role of wet nurse. A strong bond forms between the two women, but Karoline's world is shattered when she discovers the shocking truth behind her job.
