'The Legacy' is a modern family portrait, a description of the 1960s generation and their children. A narrative about the sharp traces and consequences left by an intense time of upheaval upon modern family life, whether it takes place in a seemingly-liberated and progressive artist's home or in a more traditional community-oriented, provincial, handball-minded environment. The serial plays out at the legendary manor Grønnegaard, southern Funen, where internationally-renowned artist Veronika Grønnegaard has lived an eccentric and colorful life since the wild sixties. The serial follows Veronika's four adult children, whose free and chaotic childhood at Grønnegaard has left its mark on them in very different ways. They live scattered to the four winds until Veronika dies and they gather to wind up the estate. Just before she dies, Veronika leaves the manor to her daughter Signe, who was given up for adoption. Signe lives with her partner in a quiet residential area in the local town and has never known the truth of her parentage. What was meant to be a quick, painless estate division becomes the start of a journey into secrets and lies that turn their lives upside-down and forces them to look at one another and themselves with new eyes.
