In der Nacht zum 9. April 1940 dringt die deutsche Kriegsschiffgruppe 5 unter Führung des Kreuzers "Blücher" in Norwegische Gewässer ein. Die Invasion Norwegens hat begonnen. Als Oslo angegriffen wird, flieht der Norwegische König Haakon VII (Jesper Christensen, „Casino Royale") und wird von deutschen Fallschirmjägern verfolgt. Währenddessen versucht der deutsche Gesandte Curt Bräuer (Karl Markovics, „Grand Budapest Hotel") verzweifelt einen Waffenstillstand zu erreichen. Der König steht nun vor einer schweren Entscheidung: Soll er vor den übermächtigen Deutschen kapitulieren oder sein Land im Krieg versinken sehen? (Pandastorm pictures)

The Norwegians probably won’t get any better at their not-so-epic epic films. It’s all shot very precisely, historically accurate, but it’s always lacking some deep emotions. Everything in this movie is so cold and distant that it’s hard to find a character that would stand out. However, in this case, I must admit that Karl Markovics takes the cake in terms of acting. It’s just a shame that he’s been on the other side of the barricade, which was to be expected since his native tongue is German. It was an interesting movie, even though it was unnecessarily dragged out at certain points. However, it was still shot with that high Scandinavian quality.

The Norwegians made me happy again by shooting a war film with hardly any war in it, which I enjoyed all the same. The film doesn't offer any captivating action scenes, but it still managed to create suspense (even despite the fact that I knew how it would all turn out). The dilemma facing the king is not described in a complicated and lengthy way, but rather gradually revealed in conversations with his son and the German ambassador. By the way, Karl Markovics was great in the role of the ambassador. If you think you’d appreciate a war film with more of a political perspective, go for it.
