The King’s Choice
Kongens nei
The King’s Choice is the rivetting story of the Norwegian king’s escape from the German inavsion during WWII in the nick of time. We follow the king and his family and entourage fleeing from farm to farm in the Norwegian hinterland under ever more desperate circumstances, and we follow ambassador Braüer, lt.col. Pohlmann and major Walther as they try to catch and eventually kill Norway’s head of state – under relentless pressure from Hitler.
Filmatised in 2016, and was a smash-box-office hit in Norwegian cinemas.
