The Pact (2021)

At the age of 63, Karen Blixen stands at the zenith of her literary career, a heartbeat away from seizing the Nobel Prize for Literature. Seventeen years have passed since she relinquished her vibrant African escapades, returning to the chilly embrace of Denmark, a shell of her former self. Ravaged by syphilis and the loss of her deepest love, she has metamorphosed into a literary phenomenon. Yet, she exists in a world of solitude, her genius unshared until she encounters an enchanting poet in the bloom of his youth. A pact is formed: she will groom him for literary greatness, on the condition of his absolute obedience, even if it means sacrificing all else he holds dear. The Pact (2021) is a poignant tale of an enchantress and her disciple, a narrative that explores the lengths one might traverse for the intoxicating allure of love and art.

The Pact is a drama movie directed by Bille August.
