Summary: The third in acclaimed director Lars Von Trier's triology,
Dancer in the Dark stars international singing sensation Bjork in her feature
film debut. Dancer in the Dark is an emotionally gripping tale of Selma, a
Czech immigrant and single mother working in a factory in rural America.
Selma's salvation is her passion for music, specifically classic Hollywood
musicals. The clanging and clattering of industrial machinery inspire her to
imagine show-stopping numbers featuring her co-workers including her best
friend and confidante, Kathy (Deneuve). But Selma harbors a sad secret. She is
losing her eyesight due to a genetic disorder and her ten year-old son stands
to suffer the same fate. With a single-minded dedication, Selma sets out to
earn the money necessary for her son to have a vision saving operation. When a
desperate neighbor threatens Selma's savings, he sets in motion a series of
events that bring this emotional drama to its inspiring finale.
