Varvara – uden mors velsignelse (2005)

Varvara Heyd, a 84-year-old baroness and great-granddaughter of a Russian princess, was raised in a sprawling Danish mansion with 97 rooms, 14 servants, and a demanding mother. Denmark's wealthiest young woman, she became an equestrian, photographer, war hero, prominent social figure, and stands at 1.87 meters tall – earning her the nickname "The Giraffe." Known for her fondness for men, tolerance of women, and admiration for Dame Edna, Varvara recounts her extraordinary life in Per Wennick's documentary. She shares memories of her upbringing, wartime work, marriages, social circles, and the decline of her family's considerable wealth.
