The Guilty

On his last day of being relegated to emergency dispatch duty, Asger is looking forward to returning to some real police work. However, when he receives a call from a kidnapped young mother, he’s thrown into a desperate race against time. Iben is trapped in her ex-husband Michael’s van, but has managed to covertly get hold of a phone, but every second that passes brings her closer to whatever plans Michael has in store for her…

An Audience Award winner in the Sundance Film Festival, and it’s not hard to see why. Stripped down to the essentials of cinema yet still meticulously crafted, this thriller starts with the suspense early and refuses to let up until the end.
