Synopsis of the hunt
Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen is acted the role of), who has just divorced his wife, is currently working in a nursery, and his kind-hearted personality is gentle and he is soon loved by his colleagues and children, among which, A precocious girl named Carla (Annika Wedderkopp) is particularly close to Lucas. In the face of the girl’s childish and simple kindness, Lucas can only politely refuse, but he did not think that this move will push his life to the cusp.
Carla’s retaliatory lies let Lucas bear the charges of sexually assaulting girls, and for a time, this good man became the object of exclusion and oppression in the whole town. The anger of his friends, the distrust of his ex-wife, the death of his beloved dog and the malice of strangers make Lucas nearly collapse, and when little Carla reveals the truth, the malice does not end with Lucas’s innocence.
