Still on the side of history.
The Lettuce and her fellow travellers are far right ideologues - and, despite their claims, deeply unpatriotic. Ditto Farage et al

There was a film about Danish Jews' covert escape from the Nazis with the assistance of their neighbours. 🇩🇰
'The Only Way' (1970) with a young Jane Seymour.

From 1990s, but recommend Peter Hoeg's prize-winning novel 'Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow'. Great story but covers some of the complexities of Greenland's relations with Denmark. Film, too, as 'Miss Smilla's Sense of Snow'.

I can feel a re-reading/ re-watching of "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow' (Peter Hoeg) coming on...
Great story & includes something of the complexities of Greenlandic-Danish relations.

On winter-warming treats, though. Bring lebküchen to UK supermarkets! 🎄🎄🎄
And no auto-translators, it is not 'gingerbread'. Lebküchen are an altogether different taste experience.

Of Alexandria, Egypt, and only 17-18 years old, Catherine is said to have prevented her own torture on a 'breaking wheel' (to break her bones) by causing it to shatter. She was beheaded instead c.305.
