As in Heaven

"As in Heaven" is a 2021 Danish drama film written and directed by Tea Lindeburg, set on a rural Danish farm at the turn of the 20th century. The film follows Lise (Flora Ofelia Hofmann Lindahl), a teenage girl whose mother goes through a prolonged and life-threatening childbirth, confronting fear, faith, and the expectations placed upon her as the eldest daughter over the course of a single day. Lindeburg seeks to reinterpret Marie Bregendahl's 1912 novel En dødsnat through a contemporary cinematic lens, emphasizing subjective experience and psychological intensity.
