Win The Highly anticipated Danish Drama 1864

To celebrate the release of the hugely anticipated Danish drama 1864 on Blu-ray & DVD from Monday June 8th, we’re giving 3 lucky winners the chance to win a DVD! The release follows the eight-part series’ broadcast in BBC Four’s coveted Saturday night slot (from May 16th), and it’s finale at the Nordicana festival (June 6th/7th) in London, which will feature appearances from the producers and cast.

Following the huge success of Nordic television exports The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge, 1864 features one of the highest profile Scandinavian casts ever assembled. Reuniting Borgen’s Sidse Babett Knudsen, Pilou Asbaek , o Soren Malling , Lars Mikkelsen , Jakob Oftebro , Jens Sætter-Lassen, Marie Tourell Søderberg and Sarah-Sofie Boussnina.

Brothers Laust (Oftenbro) and Peter (Sætter-Lassen) grew-up in poor but content in the Danish countryside. They fall deeply in love with Inge (Søderberg), a well-read businessman’s daughter, who lectures the brothers on poetry, philosophy and women’s liberation. Inge loves them both in return – Peter for his sensitivity and intellect, and Laust for his strength and drive.

Buoyed by their victory in the first Schleswig-Holstein War of 1848-50, the leader of the Danish parliament, Monrad, acted against the wishes of Great Britain and Russia and carries a motion that the Schleswig should be annexed. An action that can only result in a second Schleswig-Holstein War.

This time, however, Denmark is not facing a small rebel army as it did in 1848, but two German super powers – Prussia and Austria. Peter and Laust’s father was killed by a German bullet in the first war, and the brothers quickly volunteer for the Danish army as a way to avenge his death.

150 years later, in 2014, Claudia (Boussnina) is distraught at the loss of her brother to the war in Afghanistan which tore her family apart. On the verge of a breakdown, she finds work as an aide to a 100-year-old Baron in a historic manor house, situated near to where the brothers and Inge lived. Inside the manor Claudia finds Inge’s forgotten diary…

Through the diary, the story of Peter, Laust and Inge is told. The story of Denmark erupting into one of the bloodiest wars in its history – forged by political hubris and blunders. The story of thousands of young Danish soldiers thrown to the lions when the Prussian army decimated the Danish troops at the Battle of Dybbøl in 1864.
