Auteur Tobias Lindholm offers us quite a though-provoking look at just how soldiers had to tread on eggshells as they carried out their peacekeeping duties in Afghanistan. Pilou Asbæk is squadron commander "Pedersen" who tries to carry out their anti-Taliban strategy whilst keeping as friendly a relationship as possible going with the locals. A family with an injured daughter come to their camp seeking help but he insists they must return home assuring them that they will visit them tomorrow. Duly following up on his pledge, he finds the family have been murdered and his men are now pinned down by enemy fire and forced to summon some heavy duty airborne assistance to save the life of one of their number - "Lasse" (Dulfi Al-Jabouri) who has been seriously wounded. Safely back at base it transpires that the deaths of the civilians has attracted the attention of the Judge Advocate's department and he is to be investigated. He is flown back to Denmark where he must face a trial that could see him facing up to fifteen years in jail. The court case that follows is, in itself, quite a weak one but what it does showcase well is the element of second guessing that goes on by people safely at home who make pontifical judgments on those whose lives are on the line day by day, and who have to make snap decisions to stay alive. It's a little prone to the use of acronyms - what, crucially, is a PID? - but by a combination of other testimony and the scenes with his family who are clearly concerned, it does rather beg a question of not just them but of us to. What are they there for? What has any of this got to do with Denmark, or her soldiers? That tangibility of knowing what is being fought for is questioned quite effectively. Heat of the moment or comfort of the office - it's up to us to decide.
