When Camilla (Trine Dyrholm) takes her 18-year-old son to the hospital, neurologist Alex (Özlem Saglanmak believes that his severe headache is not cause for concern, a decision that has dire consequences for everyone involved.

A drama that examines a reality for any physician: you have to live with the decisions you make, even if your patient suffers for it. Zinnini Elkington lets her lead character make mistakes that complicate the situation, but not for cheap dramatic effect but to show us ultimately that we’re all human.

Interesting and moving, with a forceful performance by Dyrholm.
