A film about two (and more) Danish 'heroes' during WWII and their struggle to defeat the occupying Third Reich. About conflicts within the group, confidence, love, friendship, loss of dear ones, political cynism and more.
In its structure and theme it reminds us somewhat of the Norwegian film Max Manus, telling the 'real' story about a the resistance movement in Norway and one or two of its most significant members. In that film as in this one, the heroes are not as tough and unaffected by the attrocities during the war, as in many American films depicting similar events.
Good acting and a good film, though rather conventional in its mise-en-scène.
In the principal roles we see Thure Lindhardt ('Flammen') and Mads Mikkelsen ('Citronen').
Director: Ole Christian Madsen.
