A Second Chance

A Second Chance (En chance til, 2014) is a Danish-Swedish drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Susanne Bier — Oscar winner for In a Better World — casts Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Andreas, a detective with a stable life and a clean conscience. Both crack the moment he finds a baby crying in a closet at a junkie's apartment.

Andreas does the unthinkable. One decision, no way back. His partner Simon — divorced, drinking, stripped of illusions — slowly pieces together what his colleague is hiding. The film never sides with either man. It just keeps tightening the moral grip until something breaks.

Bier made this in 2014, between festival darlings and the international hit Bird Box. Her style is here in full: raw close-ups, domestic spaces that feel like pressure cookers, a story built on one wrong choice that multiplies. Watch A Second Chance (2014) online on iFILM.
