This movie is based on a novel by Erling Jepsen. It's about a woman who goes to war disguised as a man in order to protect her "stupid" son.
Trine Dyrholm is a wonderful actress and she has won several prices through her acting career, but she is not convincing in this role, because she doesn't look like a man and she doesn't even try to look like a man, yet the germans believes she is a man. This works in the novel but not on the screen. In the novel it's an absurdity and a funny part of the story. In the movie it tries to be a dramatic part of the story, but it's simply not believable enough.
This movie failed.
