Empire

(VIFTEN)
Frederikke Aspöck

St. Croix, the Danish West Indies, the year is 1848. Anna Heegaard and Petrine are close friends. Both women are colored, but their living conditions are very different – Anna is free and owns the enslaved Petrine. Anna shares a prosperous life with the Danish Governor-General Peter von Scholten and depends entirely on her trusted housekeeper Petrine. Things are seemingly fine until rumors of a rebellion begin to swirl.
