THE SHAMER'S DAUGHTER: Watch The First Trailer For Danish Young Adult Fantasy

Much anticipated throughout Scandinavia thanks to the enormous popularity of Lene Kaaberbol's series of novels, the Anders Thomas Jensen scripted adaptation of young adult fantasy series The Shamer's Daughter has arrived online.

The Shamer's daughter, Dina, has unwillingly inherited her mother's supernatural ability. She can look straight into the soul of other people, making them feel ashamed of themselves. When the sole heir to the throne is wrongfully accused of the horrible murders of his family, Dina's mother is lured to Dunark under false pretenses to make him confess. Neglecting to use her ability for the wrong purposes, she is taken prisoner. It is now up to Dina to uncover the truth of the murders, but soon she finds herself whirled into a dangerous power struggle with her own life at risk.

Will this be a European answer to The Hunger Games with a dash of Game Of Thrones thrown in? The Scandinaivan countries, in particular, take their youth cinema far more seriously than we tend to over here so I would expect the quality and complexity of this to be quite high. Take a look at the teaser below.
