Storyline

As the director of the thrilling story „A Hijacking“ and the writer of the award-winning „The Hunt“, in which Mads Mikelsen plays a victim of paedophilia accusations, Tobias Lindholm proved an expert in the anatomy of human psyche under pressure. An uncompromising analysis of alleged war crime, A War follows up on the previous preoccupations, getting inside the head of Claus Pedersen, leader of a military unit in Afghanistan. Essentially an honest and kind man, in the spur of the moment Claus will scratch the thin line between principles and protocol and make a decision that will save the lives of the soldiers under his command, but also cause difficult consequences for him and his family. The film was shown at festivals in Zurich and Venice, and it was also chosen to be the Danish Oscar candidate.
