Autopsy
The Kingdom is the most technologically advanced hospital in Denmark, a gleaming bastion of medical science. A rash of uncanny occurrences, however, begins to weaken the staff's faith in science – a phantom ambulance pulls in every night, but disappears; voices echo in the elevator shaft; and a pregnant doctor's fetus seems to be developing much faster than is natural. Created by Lars von Trier.

For the German-speaking markets, 'Riget' was translated into 'Hospital der Geister - The Kingdom', as a direct translation, 'Das Reich', for obvious reasons was deemed inappropriate.
The large factory-like building that Dr. Helmer (Ernst-Hugo Järegård) surveys with his binoculars from the hospital roof is the Swedish Nuclear Power Plant at Barsebäck. Due to its proximity to Copenhagen it was a frequent source of friction between the two countries until it was shut down in 2005.
The character name Stig Helmer, played by Ernst-Hugo Järegård, is taken from the name of the character Stig-Helmer Olsson (portrayed by Lasse Åberg) which is the protagonist in the long running Swedish comedy movie series of "Sällskapsresan" (Sällskapsresan eller Finns det svenskt kaffe på grisfesten (1980) & Snowroller - Sällskapsresan II (1985)) during the 80's and 90's. The character Stig-Helmer Olsson is the epitome of Swedish dullness and strictness, which is somewhat parallel to the character of Stig Helmer as an unsympathetic Swede.
Set and shot on location.
Despite (maybe even because of) his character's Dane-detesting attitude, Ernst-Hugo Järegård (Stig Helmer) became hugely popular in Denmark in the wake of Riget, and was even considered a sex symbol by many Danish women - much to his own surprise.
"Helmer: Here is Denmark, excreted from limestone. There is Sweden, chiselled from granite. Danish scum!"
"Helmer: Danish scum!"
