Adapted from the novel by Christian Jungersen, The Exception stars
Amanda Collin, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Lene Maria Christensen and
Danica Curcic as four employees of a publication that begins to
receive death threats against its journalists. But are the threats coming
from the Serbian war criminal they've recently exposed, or from within
their own office?
Speaking about his film, director Jesper W. Nielsen says "I am very excited about working with such strong and talented actresses in a story about human beings and the darkest corners of their minds. Together, we will enter a fascinating universe of women consisting of extremely interesting and complex characters that not only lie to each other, but also to themselves. An unfortunate mixture that allows evil to reign."
The Exception is in UK cinemas from January 22nd and on
Digital from January 25th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Iben, Malene, Anne-Lise and Camilla are four women working together in a daily routine marked by power struggles, whispers and alliances. When Iben and Malene each receive death threats, they start to suspect a Serbian war criminal, whom they have been writing articles about. However, when a case of bullying in the office escalates, they slowly begin to wonder if the evil comes from themselves.
