A taut, claustrophobic wartime vigil where waiting becomes unbearable and every silence feels like a threat.

Tagline: NOT FOR OURSELVES, BUT FOR OTHERS
Overview: June, 1944, German-occupied Denmark. It has never been so dangerous to be part of the resistance. In a safe house, five fighters wait for comrades on a sabotage mission. When they do not return, and no news comes, fear begins to take hold.
How it feels: Tense, dark, bleak and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: War, survival, loyalty, fate
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
