Synopsis
Flame & Citron (Flammen & Citronen, 2008) is a Danish wartime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Ole Christian Madsen and starring Thure Lindhardt alongside Mads Mikkelsen. One of the most expensive Scandinavian productions ever made about the Nazi occupation, it brings to screen two of Denmark's most legendary resistance fighters.
Copenhagen, spring of 1944. Two men operating under code names — Flame and Citron — quietly execute informants and German officials on behalf of the underground. Flame burns with the conviction that open armed resistance is the only honest path. Citron is more pragmatic, and finds himself entangled in a web of orders that start to smell like something other than liberation. As the assignments pile up, both men begin to wonder whether they're fighting a war or just serving someone else's agenda.
The film draws on documented events and real people whose actions shaped Denmark's wartime identity. What sets it apart from standard resistance pictures is its refusal to make the protagonists comfortable heroes — every kill raises the moral stakes a little higher.
