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, Jørgen, 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 Jørgen'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.
After The Wedding is a thought provoking and emotionally absorbent film which left me questioning my own choices in life. It never matters to me what language Mads Mikkelsen is speaking on screen. Mads face and mannerisms are an international language of their own. Don't let the word 'Wedding' in the title put you off. This is a must see film.
