Sons

The follow-up film from the acclaimed director of “The Guilty” (2018) stars Borgen’s Sidse Babett Knudsen as an idealistic prison officer who is faced with the dilemma of her life when a young man from her past gets transferred to the prison where she works.

Without revealing her secret, Eva asks to be moved to the young man’s ward – the toughest and most violent in the prison. Here begins an unsettling psychological thriller, where Eva’s sense of justice puts both her morality and future at stake.

“Sons maintains its icy grip because of the creeping realization that Eva – for all of her personal baggage – is still a microcosm of the institution that employs her.” ~Indiewire, David Ehrlich

“As a thrilling ride that posits interesting questions about crime and punishment, it is a huge success.” ~William Stottor, Loud & Clear

“Likely to reward those seeking morally complex, emotionally exhausting drama over entertainment or inspiration… Sons heralds a director pursuing difficult truths at all costs.” ~Arash Nahandian, Gazettely
