How much his mother's heart grows, especially in battle! Amusing and tragic, heartwarming and heartbreaking, My Mother Goes to War tells the story of an extraordinary and resilient woman who shines brightly in a dark world, ready to do anything for her only son. We are in Denmark, the year is 1918. The First World War is raging in Europe. Germany's number of soldiers is so small that it even recruits Danish youth. When they recruit Erna's 17-year-old mentally disabled son to the army, Erna realizes that she cannot afford to leave him alone, and she wears a uniform and goes to the front near her son, disguised as a man. This successful adaptation of Erling Jepsen's novel is also the culmination of the career of Trine Dyrholm, who plays Erna.
