The Buried Secrets of Denmark's Darkest Chapter

In a quiet moment at a prestigious medical ceremony, Nete Rosen's carefully constructed life shatters when Curt Wad, a ghost from her past, publicly reveals her darkest secrets. This confrontation triggers a catastrophic chain of events ending with Nete grabbing her husband's steering wheel, sending them crashing through a hedge and into the sea. As water engulfs them, she feels "almost like coming home." This haunting scene sets the stage for a chilling exploration of Denmark's hidden history of eugenics and institutional abuse-practices that continued well into the 1970s. What happens when a nation's darkest secrets refuse to stay buried? And what lengths will people go to when justice has failed them completely?
