Far from home, Jacob runs a struggling orphanage in one of India’s poorest regions. Desperate to save the orphanage from closure, he returns to Denmark to meet Jorgen, a wealthy businessman and potential benefactor. Jorgen offers Jacob a seemingly innocent invitation to attend his daughter’s wedding. What appears to be a friendly gesture sets in motion an increasingly devastating series of surprises, revelations, and confessions that will forever change their lives.
