Think of a Number

The film follows Flemming Borck, a solitary bank clerk who stumbles upon a robbery plot at his workplace. As he investigates, he discovers that the would-be robber is disguised as a shopping-mall Santa Claus. In a misguided attempt to take control of the situation, Borck devises a scheme to steal the money himself, leading to a series of unfortunate events that unravel his quiet life.

With a blend of drama and crime, the film captures the struggles of its protagonist as he navigates a complicated moral landscape. The story’s Christmas setting adds an interesting layer, contrasting the festive spirit with the darker themes of greed and desperation. The performances by top cast members, including Henning Moritzen and Bibi Andersson, contribute to the film's exploration of human frailty and poor decision-making.
