THE LAST SENTENCE

Torgny Segerstedt was one of the leading journalists in Sweden in the 20th century. He fought a one man battle against Hitler and the Nazi regime until his death in 1945. During these tumultuous times his private life is marked by a world in chaos, as he falls in love with his friend's wife while married himself.

The Last Sentence weaves together the story of a psychological love story with a portrayal of the political situation Sweden found itself in during the Second World War.

A gripping, dramatic and poetic tale about a man, who could not be silenced.
