The Promised Land was directed by Nikolaj Arcel from a screenplay by Arcel & Anders Thomas Jensen.

It is based on the book The Captain and Ann Barbara by Ida Jessen.

The film takes place in Denmark, 1755. Captain Ludvig Kahlen (Mikkelsen) sets out to conquer a Danish heath reputed to be uncultivable, with an impossible goal: to establish a colony in the name of the king, in exchange for a royal title. A single-minded ambition that the ruthless lord of the region will relentlessly seek to put down. Kahlen's fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life...?
