“A captain’s ambition, a ruthless rival, and a land that defies them both.”

In 1755 Denmark, Captain Ludvig Kahlen undertakes a quixotic mission to colonize an allegedly barren heath, promising the king a colony in exchange for nobility. Confronted by the rapacious local lord, Kahlen's relentless pursuit of glory and fortune teeters on the brink of ruin. The Promised Land, a period drama, scrutinizes the thin line between ambition and folly, where the cost of unchecked ambition might just be one’s soul.
