Norwegian wartime drama directed by Erik Poppe. When German ships appear in Norwegian waters in April 1940, King Haakon VII (Jesper Christensen) faces some tough choices as he attempts to maintain Norwegian neutrality in WWII. Although German officer Kurt Brauer (Karl Markovics) claims his troops are only there to protect the vulnerable Norwegians from the British, it soon becomes apparent that the Nazis want to seize control of Norway's valuable assets and occupy the country. With the lives of his people hanging in the balance, King Haakon must decide whether to agree to the Germans' demands or fight for his country's freedom. (Thunderbird Releasing)
