Josephine Park stars as Yerma in a gripping drama about a modern woman’s all-consuming desire for a child—and the lengths she will go to in pursuit of her dream.

What do you do when you have every opportunity in life, yet your greatest wish remains unfulfilled?

Yerma is a successful city woman in full control of her life. She has never considered having children—until the day she moves into her new townhouse. Suddenly, the desire arises: there is plenty of space, after all. She persuades her partner, and together they try for years to conceive.

As their efforts prove unsuccessful, she restructures their work and private lives around her ovulation cycles. She shares intimate details of their struggle with infertility and family pressures on social media, while her partner gradually loses interest in fertility treatments—and in their relationship. Once, she had never defined her body by its biological function. Now, the deep longing for motherhood consumes her entirely, turning into an obsession.

Karl-Aage’s life begins and ends with Regitze. Who is he without her? Experience Olaf Johannessen and Maria Rossing in an intimate production about love and grief.

'It would be a beautiful evening. One of those rare, still, warm summer nights, where everything seems to pause and hold its breath for a moment. Regitze could not have chosen a better evening for her party.'

Karl-Aage has been married to Regitze for over 40 years. Now, as she faces an incurable illness, they prepare for what will be their final gathering at their allotment garden. As he reflects on a lifetime with the fearless, strong-willed, and life-affirming Regitze, his own story unfolds—one in which he has always been the passive, hesitant, and reserved one.
