Synopsis:

The Legacy is a character-driven drama series about what it means to be a family in a day and age where the classical family patterns have undergone radical change. As in season one, the second season of the series is played out with the manor, Grønnegaard located in South Funen, as the central stage. This stately home had been bequeathed to Signe by her real mother, the artist Veronika Grønnegaard. As her recently acquired siblings, Gro, Frederik and Emil, continue to be strongly attached to the manor, this complicates the situation. Gro s father, Thomas, still lives in his workmen s hut in the back garden. At Grønnegaard, tensions are strained to the breaking point by different desires and agendas. Skeletons come rattling out of the cupboards; and, once let loose, complex strategies and deep emotions are running high.

The Legacy is a modern family portrait. A description of the '68 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 and handball-minded environment. The serial plays out at the legendary manor Grønnegaard, southern Funen, where the 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 and 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 each other and themselves with new eyes.

The death of a matriarch brings forgotten secrets out into the open and causes a prolonged battle for the family inheritance.
