The Danish Poet

Inspired in part by the story of her own parents, animator Torill Kove tells the tale of a blocked poet who goes on a pilgrimage to meet famed Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sigrid Unset. En route he meets and falls in love with a Norwegian farmer's daughter, who is already engaged to another. Liv Ullmann narrates this wise and witty modern fairy tale about fate and personal choice, which won an Oscar® for Best Animated Short of 2007.
