DramaHistoryWar

Gunman Flame and his partner Citron assassinate Nazi collaborators for the Danish resistance. Assigned targets by their Allies-connected leader, Aksel Winther, they relish the opportunity to begin targeting the Nazis themselves. When they begin to doubt the validity of their assignments, their morally complicated task becomes even more labyrinthine.

VIBE

A chillingly realistic portrayal of wartime espionage and the heavy toll it takes. The film immerses you in the moral quagmire of assassination, where trust is a luxury and every decision carries immense weight. It's a stark look at the grey areas of conflict.
