Ditte, Child of Man poster

Overview

Ditte is born out of wedlock and lives as a young girl with her old beloved grandmother. As an illegitimate child she is teased in school and more than anything in the world she wants a father. When steady - utterly reliable - herring dealer Lars Petter shows up and tells her that he is marrying Ditte's mother, the little girl is very happy. Now Ditte must take care of three new sisters and brothers but gets nothing but complaints from her ungrateful, selfish mother. But the little girl finds consolation and support in both her sisters and brothers and Lars Petter.

00:04:05 The two of us should have a sensible chat about these matters.
00:08:02 Yet it may seem to us -
00:12:12 There's nothing.
00:15:31 We haven't bothered the priest yet.
00:18:22 Oh?
00:22:22 Povl, let Ditte help.
00:25:45 - Have you fed the chickens? - Yes.
00:28:54 That'll teach you not to play tricks on me again!
00:33:53 Because nothing go our way. People consider us as nothing.
00:38:26 Yes, and Sørine.
00:41:15 Ditte? Where are you?
00:45:28 I'm Lars Peter. So, this is what you look like now.
00:48:40 I don't slaughter cadavers.
00:54:42 Nobody will know us there.
00:58:32 - Would you like another one? - Yes, please.

01:05:10 Do you think she's changed?
01:08:33 You can't yell him awake.
01:12:38 Kristian, dear, you must have run all day.
01:15:47 We live behind that headland.
01:19:00 Let's just get going. This won't be a nice place for us tonight.
01:23:00 What's with the swaying?
01:27:11 - but it wouldn't harm to be a bit pretty as well.
