A War was Denmark's official entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 88th Academy Awards in 2016.
Official synopsis: Company commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk) and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile back in Denmark Claus' wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children missing their father.
