The Hunt

Drama116 min

Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen), a divorced kindergarten teacher in a small Danish village, is trying to steady his life — fighting for time with his son, finding a new relationship, and reclaiming some normalcy — when an innocent lie from a child in his class begins to spread. Young Klara (Annika Wedderkopp) is at the center of the accusation, and what starts as a misunderstanding hardens into suspicion. Around Christmas, the rumor turns parents, neighbors, and old hunting companions against a man who had been part of their close-knit community.
