After the Wedding (2006)

The manager of an Indian orphanage and school, Mads Mikkelsen, is summoned to Copenhagen to meet with a potential investor, Rolf Lassgård, who has indicated he is willing to grant a large donation to the orphanage. After an unusual meeting with Rolf, Mads is invited Rolf’s daughter’s wedding the next day where family secrets are revealed. The twists the story takes aren’t very surprising, but it is well done especially the interactions between Rolf and Mads. I realized that I had seen the preview for the American remake many times. Despite the cast, I hadn’t been interested and reading the differences that were made, it makes me not want to watch it even more. I’d just stick to watching this one again.
