Danish with English subtitles
A Danish police officer, who is working as an emergency centre dispatcher, takes a call from the victim of a kidnapping in progress. The film progresses in real time in a single location with the officer speaking into his headset, desperately trying to prevent a tragedy.
This tense and nerve-wracking psychological film features a compelling performance by the lead actor, and themes of redemption and our perceptions of the real world. Described as “riveting, nerve-racking, pulse-pounding, and adrenaline-soaked”, it also has a few things to say about how even the best intentions can lead to disturbing abuses of power.
