Danish director Gustav Moller's latest film, Sons (Vogter), presents a gripping narrative centered around a female correctional officer named Eva, played by Sidse Babett Knudsen. The story unfolds in an all-male prison, including the maximum-security wing, a setting that may seem unusual to non-Scandinavian viewers but reflects the reality of some Danish prisons.
The film delves into Eva's personal motivation for becoming a prison officer, which stems from the tragic death of her son at the hands of another inmate. When the perpetrator, Mikkel, is transferred to Eva's wing, she becomes consumed by a desire for revenge, leading to a tense and emotionally charged plot.
