Jagten
When nursery teacher Lucas is falsely accused of sexual abuse by angelic toddler Klara, the entire village turns against him. Being convicted without trial, his life suddenly becomes a nightmare.
Please note that this film is in Danish, with Dutch subtitles.
Following a tough divorce, 40-year-old Lucas has a new girlfriend, a new job and is in the process of re-establishing his relationship with his teenage son, Marcus. But things go awry. Not a lot. Just a passing remark. A random lie. And as the snow falls and the Christmas lights are lit, the lie spreads like an invisible virus. The shock and mistrust gets out of hand, and the small community suddenly finds itself in a collective state of hysteria, while Lucas fights a lonely fight for his life and dignity.
