A War

Duty goes beyond the battlefield.

A morally complex war drama that splits focus between a soldier's impossible battlefield decision and his family's struggle at home, exploring the cost of duty and the ambiguity of right action.

Company commander Claus Michael Pedersen and his men are stationed in Helmand, Afghanistan. Meanwhile back in Denmark, with a husband at war and three children missing their father, everyday life is a struggle for Claus' wife Maria. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy Taliban crossfire. In order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that ultimately sees him return to Denmark accused of a war crime.
