She lives in the village and works as a flower seller. When Veronika learns that her hidden cancer leaves her little time to live, she decides to reveal herself to Signe and to bequeath the stud to her. Shortly afterwards, she dies of a severe stroke .

The siblings then come together and a fight breaks out over the Grønnegaard inheritance. The difficult relationship between the siblings quickly becomes apparent.

Reception in Germany

Hannah Pilarczyck from Spiegel Online judged very positively: "As usual for Danish television, 'Die Erbschaft' captivates with its excellent cast and excellent equipment, which also focuses on optics and perfects the figure drawing."

The portal femundo praises the series as an exciting family story and adds: "... a sometimes very funny moral image of the eccentric art market and the associated clichés of inappropriateness, freedom and bohemianism. The wonderful ensemble gives the characters depth, including well-known Danish stars like Trine Dyrholm ... as Gro and Jesper Christensen ... as shaggy old hippie Thomas. "

Marcel Kawentel from the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung also had words of praise under the heading “Strong Danish series: 'The Inheritance'”: “'The Inheritance' shows once again what makes contemporary series so attractive: They are very rich in their narrative breadth better able to reproduce the complexity and contradiction of human characters than a feature film, which, simply because of its shorter duration, has to subject the characters to a more radical change than normal life usually does. "

Noemi Schneider from Deutschlandradio Kultur sees the series as "A moral painting with a star cast". She wrote: “Obviously it's about the inheritance that gives the title, but behind it there is a very complex, carefully observed, cross-generational painting of morals with star cast that reflects the curse and blessings of difficult family relationships. Trine Dyrholm, Jesper Christensen and Marie Bach Hansen, among others, star in the leading roles. "
