Krigen

Company commander Claus Michael Pedersen and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile, back in Denmark, Claus’ wife Maria is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children missing their father. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy crossfire and in order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that has grave consequences for him – and his family back home. “I have never been a solider. I have never been at war. I have only observed war; in the news and as entertainment. So when I decided to make A War, I had to find people who had witnessed war; Danish soldiers and Taliban warriors, relatives and refugees.” (Tobias Lindholm)
