Heartbound/Hjertelandet
The multi-award winning Heartbound follows Sommai, a former sex worker from Pattaya, who now lives in the windswept Northern Jutland, Denmark. 25 years ago, she came here to marry Niels, and ever since, she has helped countless women from her village in Thailand marry Danish men. Now, it is her niece Kae's turn. Sommai and Niels put a personal ad in the newspaper, and soon a suitor comes forward.
Ten years later, we meet the migrant women again and see what consequences their choices in life have had for themselves and their children.
'Heartbound' is an epic migration chronicle, shot in two small communities in Thailand and Denmark. Intimately and attentively, destinies, dreams and needs are woven together in an existential life journey.
