The Captain's Heart
Directed by Simon BangKnud goes to sea as a 14-year-old. When he goes ashore 50 years later, it is with a captain's cap and memories from two world wars in the ship's chest. He has survived submarine attacks, accidents and yellow fever. Along the way, he also meets love, and although it is not easy to be both captain and family man, Anna and the children have raised him as a hero. But when he goes ashore, he is caught in new stormy weather, for which not even two world wars have been able to prepare him. Knud Goth's (1893-1966) story is staged by grandson Simon Bang, who dives from his corner room into the captain's ship chest and the previous century. The film is told with strong visuals and takes us to historical focal points in San Francisco, Cuba, West Africa and Europe, among others.
