Based on acclaimed author Stefan Zweig’s German classic, Beware of Pity, The Kiss is a romantic drama set against the backdrop of 1913 Denmark at the start of World War I, following the journey of Anton, a noble cavalry officer, hoping to complete his military training with distinction. After helping the local Baron out of a tough situation one day, he is invited to join him and his family for dinner at their palatial castle, where he meets the Baron’s beautiful wheelchair bound daughter, Edith. The two begin spending more and more time together as Edith slowly falls in love and Anton struggles with being able to discern if his feelings for her are genuine or merely out of pity, all while the ominous threat of the first World War looms over them.  In Danish and French with English subtitles.
