Synopsis

After the Wedding

Jacob Pederson lives in shanty surroundings in Bombay, India and assists in the running of Anand Orphanage and School. He had attempted a number of projects to assist orphans, including child prostitutes--all quite in vain. He has adopted a young male orphan, Pramod, and takes special care of him.

With growing pressure on the facilities, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, the orphanage receives an offer of funding from wealthy Danish citizen Jörgen that might put an end to its problems. In order to obtain the money, Jacob must travel to Copenhagen, meet with Jörgen, get financial assistance, and be back to celebrate Pramod's 8th birthday.

He sets forth, is received by Christian Refner, an employee and future son-in-law of Jörgen. Jacob is shown all possible courtesy and even housed in a posh apartment. He subsequently meets with Jörgen, shows him video-tapes and submits that a few Kroner could really save several lives which would otherwise succumb to minor illnesses and infections. Jorgen views the videos, but does not display much interest.

He invites Jacob to attend his daughter's wedding. Jacob attends the ceremony and meets Jorgen's wife Helene, their daughter Anna (the bride), and their twins Martin and Morten. After the wedding ceremony, Christian makes a speech. Quite unconventionally, Anna also decides to make a speech--this speech that will shatter Jacob's world and make him realize that this invitation to Copenhagen was a ploy to not only ensnare him but also prevent him from returning to India.

Additionally, the choice of music in certain key scenes seemed jarring and out of place, detracting from the intensity of the emotions being portrayed on screen. It felt like the music was an afterthought rather than a carefully curated element that could have elevated the overall viewing experience.

The soundtrack of After the Wedding felt disconnected from the emotional depth of the story, failing to enhance the poignant moments with appropriate music cues. The lack of a cohesive musical theme made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the film's narrative.
