WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Asger Holm (Cedergren) is a former police officer who now works as an alarm dispatcher. One day, he answers an emergency call from a woman who says she’s been kidnapped, but when the call is suddenly disconnected he enters into a race against time to save the woman from a grisly fate, only to find that he’s also wandered into a much larger crime than he first thought…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

After receiving critical praise from its various stops on the film festival circuit, this Danish thriller is a surprising thrill-ride that’s unmissable for anyone wanting a suspenseful low-key movie to watch during a night in (but be sure to have the subtitles on!).
