Jeanette Nordahl’s marriage drama ‘Beginnings’ has commenced filming in Fyn, Denmark. It has already been confirmed that Trine Dyrholm and David Dencik will star in the movie. The plot centers on Thomas and Ane, a married couple undergoing a divorce but keeping it secret from their children. Their plans are upended when Ane suffers a debilitating stroke, prompting them to reevaluate their relationship and face the challenges of their altered future together.
Nordahl recently directed multiple episodes of the series ‘Drømmeren,’ which depicts an author’s journey from adversity to literary acclaim after returning to Denmark from East Africa. She also helmed episodes of ‘When the Dust Settles,’ a drama series that delves into the lives of eight individuals profoundly affected by a terrorist attack in Copenhagen.

Dyrholm appeared as Gwen in ‘The Almond and the Seahorse,’ in which a woman navigates the challenges of re-imagining a future after a traumatic brain injury. Additionally, she played the titular character in ‘Erna at War,’ depicting a woman who disguises herself as a man to protect her son during World War I.
