Auteur Tobias Lindholm offers us quite a though-provoking look at just how soldiers had to tread on eggshells as they carried out their peacekeeping duties in Afghanistan. Pilou Asbæk is squadron commander "Pedersen" who tries to carry out their anti-Taliban strategy whilst keeping as friendly a relationship as possible going with the locals.
