The Closed Book
THE CLOSED BOOK is a powerful story about love, freedom, longing, and the choices that shape a human life. The film follows the young Frederikke, who is on the brink of a comfortable marriage to a priest when she meets the charismatic doctor Frederik. Since its publication in 2003, Jette A. Kaarsbøl’s historical novel "The Closed Book" has achieved classic status. According to the publisher Gyldendal, it is among their most successful novels of recent decades.
Director Charlotte Sieling (Margrete – Queen of the North, 2021) has started shooting THE CLOSED BOOK, based on the bestselling novel by Jette A. Kaarsbøl, with Alba August and Gustav Lindh starring as Frederikke and Frederik. THE CLOSED BOOK is produced by SF Studios, with Lars Bredo Rahbek and Mette Marie Munch-Petersen as producers, with planned local release in late summer 2027.
