Based on actual events, this exciting drama tells the story of World War II Danish Resistance fighters Flame (Thure Lindhardt) and Citron (Mads Mikkelsen).

On the morning of September 10, 1967, Stella’s family and friends saw her off from this airport on the occasion of her first trip to the United States.

She was excited, nervous, and at the same time sad. When she boarded the airplane she looked for a seat in the rear, the only portion of an aircraft that survives crashes, her brother had told her. She found an empty seat in the middle of a row of three.

Too bad.
