This is one of those stories where I can see the misfortune that will befall the protagonist coming from the first page. It also seemed like an excerpt from a novel, rather than a short story on its own.
Bonus points for unique setting, though.
Jacob, manager of an orphanage in India, must go to Denmark to procure more money, and, as it turns out, have some secrets revealed to him. I liked tracking how my judgement and loyalties shifted the more I learned. Contains a lot of close-ups of sad/upset people, but captured in a very open and loving way.
Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home
