Summary:
"Hailed as 'wonderful' by Leonard Maltin, this winner of the 1987 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film follows the epic journey into a father and son who leave their native Sweden to try and find a better life in Denmark. But they discover even harsher conditions upon their arrival in the new land, as they can only find work on a large farm run by an unsympathetic philanderer. Starring Max Von Sydow in his Oscar-nominated performance for Best Actor, Pelle The Conqueror is a remarkable tale of passion, pain and the extraordinary triumph of the human spirit."--Container.
