The Captor
The Captor
Comedy Lars Nystrom walks into a bank in 1973 Stockholm and fires off warning shots before issuing demands for cash, the release of his buddy Gunnar Sorensson from prison and a getaway car. Chief Mattsson co-ordinates the police response to a tense hostage negotiation as cameras roll. Married mother-of-two Bianca Lind, who works at the bank, develops a strange bond with her captor and she begins to sympathise with Lars, giving birth to the term Stockholm syndrome.
