Kisah anggota gerakan perlawanan Denmark dalam Perang Dunia II, Holger Danske, dalam perlawanan mereka terhadap Nazi Jerman

Flame & Citron[2] (Danish: Flammen & Citronen) is a 2008 Danish drama/action co-written and directed by Ole Christian Madsen. The film, a fictionalized account based on fact, is about two Danish resistance movement fighters nicknamed Flame and Citron, during the Nazi occupation of Denmark in World War II. The most expensive Danish film produced to that date, it was highly successful at the box office and won numerous awards.

Plot

Set in 1943 and 1944 during World War II, the film is loosely based on historic events featuring two of the most active fighters in the Holger Danske resistance group during World War II: the red-haired Bent Faurschou-Hviid (known as Flammen, played by Thure Lindhardt) and Jørgen Haagen Schmith (known as Citron, played by Mads Mikkelsen), who both were killed toward the end of the war. As the two friends assassinate Danish Nazis and collaborators, they become involved in increasing ambiguity.
Before 1944, they kill only Danes, to reduce widespread retaliation by the Nazis. Winther, claiming orders from the government in exile in London, orders them to kill prominent Nazi officials. Doubt arises, and Flame and Citron must also deal with competing resistance groups, an internal traitor, and a femme fatale (played by Stine Stengade) who might be a double (or triple) agent. Ultimately, they find that they can only trust each another.
