Synopsis
After the Wedding (2006) is a Danish-Swedish drama directed by Susanne Bier — watch it online on iFILM. Mads Mikkelsen plays Jacob Petersen, a man who has spent years running an orphanage in India. A Danish businessman named Jørgen offers him twelve million dollars, with one condition: fly to Copenhagen and attend his daughter's wedding.
Jacob shows up — and what happens at that wedding rewrites everything he thought he knew about his own life. Rolf Lassgård plays Jørgen with an unsettling calm, a man whose generosity comes loaded with an agenda. Sidse Babett Knudsen, as his wife, carries the film's emotional weight in near-silence. The drama that unfolds is built around a secret, and Bier refuses to let anyone off the hook easily.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, After the Wedding is a tightly wound story about the choices that define a person. Stream it in full on iFILM.
