The Kingdom is Denmark's most modern and technologically advanced hospital. With its superior staff and limitless facilities, it is almost a symbol of modern medicine. However, the location of the hospital is an old swamp that conceals horrific secrets. There is a parallel between the strange events occurring among the doctors inside the hospital and the spirits wandering the hospital corridors. A sinister force has taken hold of the roots of The Kingdom. Following Kieslowski's extraordinary Decalogue, The Kingdom is considered one of the most significant TV projects in the cinema world, drawing attention not only for its elements of suspense but also for its sharp social satire.
