Martin Vinge, (35), former notorious journalist, now successful headhunter with a complicated personal life, is in all confidentiality contacted by 85 year-old N.F. Sieger, S.E.O. of Denmark's largest shipping company and oil empire. Sieger hires Martin to find an alternative heir to the firm instead of his son, Daniel Sieger, who for a long time has been destined to take the company into the next era. Martin starts coming up with suitable names for the position, but discovers that he has actually been entangled in a larger impenetrable power game aimed at deciding what is really going to happen to the company; a brutal power struggle that puts an intense pressure on Martin and his private life and relationships. —Nordisk Film

7/10

Hunting on frozen ground

Suitably intriguing story about cold fish Martin, star freelance headhunter, getting embroiled in risky business with troubled magnate N.F. Sieger and family.

Martin has family trouble of his own, his son being seriously ill. As everybody knows, families in this type of movie, exist only as leverage.

The photography is as cold as an industrialist heart. Dark, dismay and desolate, with sparks of redemption.

It's watchable in the original Danish with subtitles, since the dialogue is as sparse as luscious vegetation in Denmark during winter.
