The Danish film Flame & Citron (Danish: Flammen & Citronen ) is a 2008 historical drama that strips away the romanticism often found in World War II cinema. Directed by Ole Christian Madsen, it explores the morally ambiguous lives of two real-life resistance fighters, Bent Faurschou-Hviid ("Flame") and Jørgen Haagen Schmith ("Citron").
