Am 9. April 1940 erreichen die Schrecken des Zweiten Weltkrieges endgültig Norwegen, als die deutsche Armee ohne vorherige Kriegserklärung das Land angreift. König Haakon VII. flieht daraufhin mit seiner Familie aus Oslo, um sich den Nazis zu entziehen. Von seinem Sohn, Kronprinz Olav wird der Monarch, der sich bisher aus Prinzip aus allen Regierungsgeschäften herausgehalten hat, jedoch gedrängt, die Initiative zu ergreifen. Währenddessen bemüht sich der deutsche Diplomat Curt Bräuer darum, den Krieg zwischen den Ländern mit dem Erwirken einer nahezu bedingungslosen Kapitulation Norwegens doch noch abzuwenden. Haakon muss eine schwere Entscheidung treffen, die nicht nur über sein persönliches Schicksal entscheiden wird, sondern über die Zukunft seines gesamten Volkes...

Very well acted movie with a look into history not often or at all brought to film. I do especially appreciate the casting of German/Austrian actors for the German's in the movie, made it all the more authentic. I also wouldn't mind a "sequel" telling what happened in the months and years to come since it isn't any less interesting or important.
The movie includes long unnecessary scenes, resistance after escaping to London can be in the scenario. I think these addable scenes show us cost of the king's choice. The effects of choice to people of Norway may be showed in the film. Although, the movie is well. Acting and soundtrack are amazing, connection between events and psychology of the king are reflected very well.
81% :thumbsup_tone1: Positives: This movie was a gut wrencher! The acting was amazing and you really felt what the characters are going through while on there journey. I loved some of the unique camera angles that were used. This was also a sad movie. You could tell the actors put there hearts out for the performance. The movie was slow paced but I felt the slow paced actually made the film more dramatic Negatives: No real big negatives except for maybe some of the unique camera angles were a little to crazy. In one of the fight scenes the camera is following the main boy as if you were a soldier behind him. I felt that the camera angle kind of took away from the realism of the action scene. Overall: The film was very well done and with such a low budget I don’t know what else they could have done. Yes the camera angles sometimes was a distraction but you forget about it when the next scene is taking place
