Spoilers ahead
In this two-era narrative, the story centers on a Danish captain and his teenage daughter as they move through peril, secrecy, and a puzzling link between worlds. Set in the 1880s, Captain Gunnar Dinesen travels through the Argentine landscape with Ingeborg, a daughter who longs for companionship in the form of a dog that will follow her wherever she goes. The moment is laced with tension when a flirtatious and unseemly proposal arises: Lieutenant Pittaluga asks to take Ingeborg to a dance in exchange for one of the captain’s horses. Dinesen refuses, speaking plainly that Ingeborg is his daughter, and he warns Ingeborg that Pittaluga’s fondness for young girls could bring trouble if she crosses his path.
