Awaiting execution in a Gestapo prison, young Danish resistance saboteur Michael relives the events that led to his capture: a botched arms drop, a daring escape after killing a German officer, and a dangerous plan to sabotage a weapons factory threatened by a possible informant within his own cell. As suspicion and betrayal close in around his resistance group, Michael's memories of his girlfriend Ruth and his comrades collide with the reality of his impending fate. Bodil Ipsen and Lau Lauritzen Jr.'s wartime thriller, shot just months after Denmark's liberation, honors the resistance movement's sacrifice in near-real time.
