"The Promised Land takes place in 1700's Denmark and tells the story of a retired military officer who wants to settle and farm in an inhospitable area where no one else has been able to survive. He has visions of making a great success, and being greatly rewarded by the King and other noble people. That is just the vaguest outline of the story but the film goes deep into the characters involved and becomes unexpectedly dark, much darker than I had imagined. I will not say more so as not to spoil it, but this is a truly great movie. The main character is played to perfection by Mads Mickel..."

The movie is based on a book called "The Captain and Ann Barbara" by Ida Jessen, which is loosely based on the true story of Captain Ludvig Kahlen. The writers took many liberties with the story.
