Helvetesuka

The inflatable boat festival has cost the aspiring contestants dearly, and they are at breaking point. During a medical check-up and an emotional letter-writing exercise, they are forced to realize why they are here – and what they risk losing.

The aspirants are held captive, blindfolded, subjected to sleep deprivation and psychological pressure. During brutal interrogations, their loyalty is tested as they are tempted with rewards in exchange for information.

The lack of sleep begins to take over, and even simple tasks become difficult. When the commandant reveals a breach of the barracks rules, the aspirants face consequences. They are then thrown into technical weapons training – which takes place underwater.

After Hedlund surrenders to the trenches, the remaining aspirants are pressed on through a night of cold, hallucinations, and constant attacks. Without rest, they are sent straight out on a relentless march up Høgvarde with heavy loads.
