About Ordet

In rural Denmark, farmer Morten Borgen finds his family divided by faith. His eldest son, Mikkel, has lost his belief, while his middle son, Johannes, believes himself to be Jesus Christ. Only the youngest, Anders, shares Morten's devout faith. The family faces a crisis when Mikkel's wife, Inger, endures a life-threatening childbirth. This harrowing event tests the boundaries of their individual beliefs, forcing them to confront the very essence of faith, love, and the possibility of divine intervention. As Inger's life hangs in the balance, the family must find a way to reconcile their differing perspectives and discover the unifying power of hope amidst despair.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:
