Danish filmmaker Cecilie Evert Kjær’s film is about a woman, Kirsten, who married the king Christian IV of Denmark in 1615. Upon their marriage Christian gave her a castle as a token of his love. In her film, a modern interpretation of this historical event, Cecilie suggests the castle to be a ‘golden cage’, in which Kirsten is trapped, while Christian is exploring the world. By doing so Cecilie questions the role that the classical love narrative plays in positioning men and women in society, back then, and in the present day.
