Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Jonas (Anders W Berthelsen) is stuck in a mid-life crisis; bored with the monotonous dinner parties, the claustrophobia of Denmark and the pressures of his home life.

He escapes from his humdrum existence as a crime-scene photographer first through his dream of working for National Geographic, and then by his obsession with a mysterious woman recovering from a coma. Jonas becomes embroiled in her life and as she starts to remember her past, he realises it is darker than he could have imagined. It is a film noir-style thriller told through the eyes of a lead who is a hopeless romantic, and fatally weak. It’s black comedy tempered with unflinching violence and visual flair. The resolution is jarring but writer-director Ole Bornedal has created a thrilling tale.
