On January 21, 1968, an American B-52 bomber, loaded with nuclear warheads, crashes amid the glaciers of Greenland. The American and Danish authorities who monitor the area declare that the situation is under control and after eight months of remediation announce the emergency is over. Eighteen years later, the journalist Poul Brink, zealous and determined, accidentally gets word of some mysterious testimony regarding the plane crash. The suspicion soon starts to grow in him that this is a case of a political cover-up and Brink sets off on a solitary journey in search of the truth.

Declaration
film director
“In The Idealist, I have strived to create an engaging and disturbing film about an uncompromising idealist set against a gigantic canvas of political and historical events. It’s a story about a highly dedicated journalist, who follows the clues to the revelation of one of the greatest scandals in recent Danish history.”
