When the beautiful Grace arrives in the isolated township of Dogville, the small community agrees to hide her from a gang of ruthless gangsters, and, in return, Grave agrees to do odd jobs for the townspeople. But as the search for her intensifies, they demand a much better deal. What they don't know is that Grace has a dangerous secret, and their quiet little town will never be the same. 'Dogville' is the first in von Trier's projected 'USA - Land of Opportunities' Trilogy.
