This is a brilliant novel by Martin Anderson Nexo about a Swedish boy, Pelle, and his elderly father, Lasse, who come to Denmark in search of work and a better life. But reality sets in when the only job they could find is at a large farm where they are mistreated as foreigners and paid dirt wages. I did not like this 1986 version of Pelle the Conqueror (i.e. Pelle der Eroberer), as much as the 1987 version, (i.e. Pelle erobreren). But they are both superb, and I recommend watching them both. It doesn’t matter in what order. And DVD Bay has both of them!
