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.
Occupying a unique space between thriller and family drama, After The Wedding has a rare emotional power and a powerful grasp of metaphor.

An unpredictable drama about ideals and obligation that will keep you glued to your seat.
