The Viking - downfall of a druglord

THE VIKING is part biopic, part true crime story. A true story of a man who spends 16 years in prison, two of them in one of Brazil’s worst prisons, where inmates are lucky if they get to keep their head. Desperate not to harm his son, Malmqvist pretends he is a prison guard for 12 years, never revealing the truth of his reality as a prisoner. But it’s not the life behind bars that weighs on Claus Malmqvist – it’s the people he hurt. Malmqvist’s biggest regret is his relationship to his own son: a relationship built entirely on lies.
