Generations

Generations (original title: Generationer) is a compelling Danish drama series produced by DR Drama. Created by Anna Emma Haudal, known for the acclaimed series Doggystyle, the show delves into the intricate web of family secrets and intergenerational dynamics.

The narrative unfolds with the startling discovery of a mummified infant’s body during renovations in a Frederiksberg apartment. Eighty-seven-year-old Martha, a resident of the building, confesses to the decades-old crime, leaving her family and the authorities in disbelief. This revelation sets off a profound exploration of buried truths, guilt, and the complexities of familial relationships across generations.

The series features a talented ensemble cast, including Ulla Henningsen as Martha, Anette Støvelbæk, Rikke Eberhardt Isen, and Alice Bier Zandén, portraying the women connected by blood and secrets. The atmospheric score, composed by Kira Skov in collaboration with Silas Tinglef, enhances the show’s emotional depth, balancing fragility and strength to underscore the narrative’s nuances.

Spanning six episodes of approximately 58 minutes each, Generations intertwines elements of mystery and drama, offering a poignant reflection on how the past inexorably shapes the present within family structures.
