Set in Denmark in the here and now, The Quiet Girl centres around
Kaspar Krone, a world-renowned circus clown with a deep love for
the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, and an even deeper gambling
debt. Wanted for tax evasion and on the verge of extradition, Krone
is drafted into the service of a mysterious order of nuns who
promise him reprieve from the international authorities in return
for his help safeguarding a group of children with mystical
abilities. When one of the children goes missing a year later,
Krone sets off to find the young girl and bring her back, making a
shocking series of discoveries along the way about her identity and
the true intentions of his young wards.
