Short description

A Danish officer, Michael, is sent away to the International Security Assistance Force operation in Afghanistan for three months. His first mission there is to find a young radar technician who had been separated from his squad some days earlier. While on the search, his helicopter is shot down and he is taken as a prisoner of war, but is reported dead to the family.

What's left behind the scenes

Suzanne Bier asked the actors to minimize their use of makeup.
In the church, all those seated in the first two rows, with the exception of Nils Olsen, are officers.
In the scene where Nikolai Lie Kaas's character is informed of his brother's death, the actor does not pretend to be drunk. He actually drank, deciding that it would be more believable.
