Dir: Gustav Möller
The night before he is to be reinstated for active duty, dispatch officer Asger Holm (Jakob Cedergren) gets an emergency call from a kidnapped woman. As the line is disconnected, Holm is thrown into a race against time to save the caller, but not everything is what it seems and what he suspects is a kidnapping might be something much, much bigger. One of the big hits out of Sundance 2018, Gustav Möller’s one-location, high-concept thriller set over the course of one night is a brilliant example of how much a terrific actor and a nail-biting script can achieve.
