Jorden Er Flad or The Earth is Flat is based on the play Erasmus Montanus, from the classical era in Danish literature, by Ludvig Holberg. Director Henrik Stangerup had the play translated into Portuguese, and adapted it for filming in contemporary Brazil.

When the boy returns to his village, he is stuffed full of book-learning of a kind which is of absolutely no use to those of the village.
