CPH:DOX 2025 – The Ox Road / Hærvejen

Two men embark on an adventure from North Jutland down to Kliplev Church north of the old border of Southern Jutland. One was born royal, the other grew up at the bottom of society. The class differences are palpable when Prince Joachim is accompanied by the outspoken author and trailblazer Steffen Jacobsen. Along the scenic old road through Denmark, honest conversations about social inheritance, responsibility and the threads of destiny emerge. The distance between them seems great, but with each step they get a little closer to erasing the differences between them. The walk through the breathtaking landscape of Jutland – from coast and sea to heath and forest – becomes a journey towards an understanding of both Danish history and each other.
