Based on Stefan Zweig's classic novel "Beware of Pity", "The Kiss" is set against the backdrop of 1913 Denmark on the eve of World War I. Cavalry officer in training Anton befriends the local Baron and meets his beautiful, wheelchair-bound daughter Edith. As they grow closer, Edith falls in love, while Anton questions whether his feelings are true or born of pity as the threat of war looms.
