Dancer in the Dark synopsis
A Czech immigrant working in a rural factory in the United States, Selma (Bjork) has a kind nature, and her vision is becoming blurred due to a congenital disease. In order not to let the son who inherited the disease will inherit the fate, Selma works very hard every day, unaware of the friend and colleague Linda (Kathleen Denieff) because of love and good advice, she always reported a smile, because she has another pure music world, which is beautiful and quiet, enough to resist the reality of the sad and difficult.
To her relief, before her eyes were completely blind, she basically raised the money needed for her son’s surgery, but at this time, an accident occurred, and her fate was accelerated to a complicated and tragic situation.
