Pelle the Conquerer

Synopsis

"Drunken and defiant laborer Lasse Karlsson and his young son, Pelle, migrate from Sweden to Denmark in search of farm work. They find it -- along with much more than they bargained for -- on the Kongstrup farm." [Netflix]
Pelle grows up in hardship living with his father in a cattle barn. Beautiful story and film production. Max von Sydow was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor, but lost to Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.
