The Kingdom II
Lars Von Trier's second chapter in his ongoing Danish television miniseries chronicles the further misadventures of the staff and patients of a Copenhagen hospital located atop an ancient, haunted swamp. The first series left viewers with many unresolved questions: Will the arrogant, vitriolic Swede, Helmer obtain the voodoo potion he needs? Will the crazed anesthetist successfully force Helmer to marry her? What about Judith who was tricked into pregnancy by a malevolent doctor's ghost? Will her baby be normal? And will the intrepid Mrs. Drusse be able to help the hoards of ghosts accidentally released at the end of the last episode?
