Leaflets gently fall from the sky sending news that the German army has arrived in Denmark. It’s 1940 and Director Skov and his well-to-do family have only heard rumors of war. But Germany’s growing influence is slowly creeping into their comfortable lives. While Jewish friends fear for their safety, wealthy Danes who have chosen to do business with Germany profit handsomely—and encourage Director Skov to do the same. Although his wife Eva implores him to avoid this seemingly unavoidable partnership, Director Skov remains conflicted about supporting the German war machine in order to keep his business and employees afloat. Meanwhile, their five children begin to take their own stances on the war. Whether motivated by a sense of duty to the army, a forbidden romance, or controversial political ideologies, each family member finds themselves on a different side of the conflict. Honest and captivating, INTO THE DARKNESS reveals the complexities of war in one family portrait. (In Danish with subtitles) — A.B.
