Multiple award-winning comedy drama about a mother who puts everybody else first
Pørni – short for Pernille – is the mother you wish you were, or had, but with the job nobody wants, which nonetheless is crucially important. Pørni is a woman who puts everyone else first, and doesn’t always make the right choices for her.
Pørni tries to juggle the children's needs, the grief over her sister's recent death, a hopeless ex-husband, her job in child welfare, a father who wants to make the most of life's harvest and his own love life.
