  In the early morning of April 9th, 1940, the Danish army is alerted. The Germans have crossed the border; Denmark is at war against Europe's strongest army. At the Southern border, the Danish homeguard are ordered out to hold back the forces until the Danish reinforcements can be mobilized. In the fatal hours, we follow second lieutenant Sand (Pilou Asbæk- Lucy, A Hijacking) and his small and inexperienced band as the first Danish soldiers meet the enemy in combat on that fateful day… April 9th, 1940.

  Eighteen-year-old Casper (Gustav Dyekjær Giese) who lives in the infamous Nordvest suburb of Copenhagen with his mother brother Andy and sister Freya is a talented housebreaker who makes ends meet committing burglaries for neighbourhood boss Jamal. When a rival gangster Bjorn makes Caspar an offer of more lucrative terms and perhaps the promise of advancement through the ranks of his very white Danish family the enraged Jamal is not prepared to tolerate defection; things violently escalate placing the teenager and his family at the centre of a toxic conflict. What could be a predictable genre tale is elevated far above the ordinary by director Noer s fresh script and restrained approach and by Gustav Dyekjær Giese s natural and powerful performance. His remarkable stillness only serves to intensify Casper s inner turmoil.
