Flame & Citron

Flame & Citron is a 2008 Danish drama/action co-written and directed by Ole Christian Madsen. The film, a fictionalized account based on fact, is about two Danish resistance movement fighters during the Nazi occupation of Denmark. Set in 1943 and 1944, the film is loosely based on actual events involving two of the most active fighters in the Holger Danske resistance group during World War II - Bent Faurschou-Hviid and Jørgen Haagen Schmith , who both died toward the end of the war. As the two friends assassinate high-ranking Nazis and their Danish collaborators, they also find... themselves in deadly duels with treacherous handlers, competing resistance groups, and a femme fatale who might be a double agent. Ultimately, they find that they can only trust one another. The movie is named from the nicknames of the two main characters. Flammen refers to the colour of Bent Faurschou-Hviid's copper red hair, after a failed attempt to dye it blond.
