The Danish Poet: The Oscar-Winning Animated Film Narrated by Liv Ullmann

Above, watch the 2006 academy award-winning animated film, The Danish Poet, directed by Torill Kove and narrated by Liv Ullmann. Here’s the premise:

Can we trace the chain of events that leads to our own birth? Is our existence just coincidence? Do little things matter? The narrator (Liv Ullmann) of The Danish Poet considers these questions as we follow Kasper, a poet whose creative well has run dry, on a holiday to Norway to meet the famous writer, Sigrid Undset. As Kasper’s quest for inspiration unfolds, it appears that a spell of bad weather, an angry dog, slippery barn planks, a careless postman, hungry goats and other seemingly unrelated factors might play important roles in the big scheme of things after all.
