M. 90 Min. Stars Pilou Asbaek, Lasse Peter Larsen (outsanding as Soren) and Katrine Greis-Rosenthal
One of the major features of this film is the child's eye perspective given to the character Soren (a stand out Lasse Peter Larsen) who's Father and Mother are placed in a very difficult position when the school they run in Denmark is turned into a camp for 500 German refugees.
His father Jakob, (Pilou Asbæk- Game of Thornes) and his wife Lis (Katrine Greis-Rosenthal) at first give little apart from the mandatory assitance to the refugees and Soren sides with the Danish resistance's firm anti-German policy but as sickness admist the refugess, their views change. Especially when young children start to die.
Set in the final unforgiving months of WWII, this moving and intelligent drama explores the unimaginable dilemmas that people must face in the wake of war.
