Before It Ends
A historical drama that unfolds in Denmark at the end of the Second World War. The film unfolds the story of a school principal and his family facing difficult moral dilemmas when their school becomes a refugee camp for 250,000 Germans. As the food and medical supplies run out, the family has to choose between helping the refugees and remaining loyal to the Danis resistance. Inspired by true events, the film focuses on the conflict between humanism and national resistance.
