Flame & Citron
A film by Ole Christian Madsen
Starring Thure Lindhardt, Mads Mikkelsen, Stine Stengade, Peter Mygind
In this thriller set in World War II-era Copenhagen, two men put everything on the line in their fight against the Nazis. Bent Faurschou-Hviid, aka Flame, is young and idealistic, while Jørgen Haagen Schmith, aka Citron, is concerned about his family as his role in the resistance grows more prominent. As they get closer to attacking the head of the Gestapo, the men realize that they can only trust each other. Directed by Ole Christian Madsen, this Danish hit is based on true events.
