Overlooked drama of the classic and true Danish story

Steen Steensen Blicher's classic novel about the true events in vicar Søren Jensen Quist's life. The facts are that he hit Nils Ibsen with a spade, and Nils didn't die from that event. But did the vicar killed him later on, for not doing his job? Nils' brother Mikkel Ibsen didn't like the vicar. So was the vicar guilty of murder, or was he a victim of miscarriage of justice? I think all the lead caracter makes a excellent cast, especially Karl Stegger as the vicar, who is quite an overlooked actor in general, in my opinion. Maybe the supporting cast could have been better.
