The Prophets of Eternal Fjord

"Prophets of Eternal Fjord" follows the journey of Morten Falck, an idealistic and inexperienced priest, as he arrives in Greenland in 1787 with the mission to convert the Inuit to the Danish church. He quickly finds himself in a struggle between his duties and a burgeoning connection to the local community, facing harsh winters, dissent against colonialism, and personal turmoil. Amidst his chaotic experiences, including a disastrous surgery and a doomed love affair, Falck grapples with the moral complexities of his role in a society marked by colonial strife, revealing the profound impacts of such oppression. Based on true events, Kim Leine's narrative captures the stark contrasts between the life in Copenhagen and the rugged reality of the Greenlandic colony.
