The production of thrillers is almost inexhaustible in the Nordic countries; today's has another very original synopsis. Sons is set in the prison where Eva works as a jailer. She loves the job and performs her work with pleasure. Until she spots Mikkel in a new group of prisoners. She immediately asks to be transferred to the heavily guarded ward where Mikkel is housed and it takes a while to find out why she does so....
We know director Gustav Möller from Den skyldige (8.48) from 2018, IFFR's audience winner.
"A prison is its own society, where everything is magnified. It is life and death, with extreme characters, strong power relations and clear rules. It is an ideal arena to tell a compelling story." (Director Möller)
