Flame & Citron
During the Nazi occupation, Danish resistance assassins Bent Faurschou-Hviid ("Flame") and Jrgen Haagen Schmith ("Citron") take orders from Winther, who has direct contact with Allied leaders. The first shoots, while the second drives. They only kill Danes until 1944, when Winther gives orders to kill Germans. When a target informs Bent that Winther is using them to settle personal scores, Bent's relationship with the mysterious Kitty Selmer, who may be a double agent, raises suspicions. Also, someone close to them is a traitor. Can Bent and Jrgen kill an over-the-top target while avoiding capture and surviving the war? Is this heroism, naiveté, or just plain hatred?
