The Experiment

The Experiment tells the story of Gert, a nurse appointed as the headmistress of a children's home in Greenland. The Danish state owns this facility, which is designed to educate 16 Greenlandic children who have returned after a year in Denmark. Gert is idealistic and driven, believing that her efforts will elevate Greenland from poverty by integrating Danish culture and language into the children's lives.

However, Gert's ambition blinds her to the emotional and personal costs of this experiment on the children. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that her plans do not yield the intended results, leaving both Gert and the children facing unexpected challenges. The film raises important questions about identity, assimilation, and the impact of colonial attitudes, making it a thought-provoking watch for those interested in historical dramas.
