description: "Niels Lyhnne is an aspiring poet, torn between romanticism and realism, faith and reason. As he matures, he encounters six strong-willed women, all of whom try to caution him about the dangers of idealized love. His psychological and spiritual dilemmas are at the heart of Jacobson's great masterpiece of Danish literature."
