Black Crab

Black Crab is a 2022 Swedish action thriller film directed by Adam Berg, written by Adam Berg and Pelle Rådström. It stars Noomi Rapace, Aliette Opheim and Dar Salim. It is about a speed skater (Rapace) conscripted to join a team of soldiers for a dangerous mission to skate across sea ice behind enemy lines. The team is tasked with delivering a secret package to an island research base, which they are told could end the war. Plot The film opens with a flashback scene in which Edh is in a car with her daughter, Vanja, waiting in a traffic jam. Civilians are attacked by approaching enemies and the pair are forced out of the car. A few years later Edh, now a soldier, is disembarking from a train. A lieutenant drives her to the base through a dangerous neighborhood and strands her there. Edh is attacked by refugees, and manages to fight her way out. Upon arriving at the base, she is taken for a briefing with Colonel Raad and she meets the other soldiers recruited for the special mission: Karimi, Malik, Granvik (a sniper) and Captain Forsberg. The Colonel explains that the team must cross the ice-covered Stockholm Archipelago on skates and deliver some canisters to a research base, named Ödö, which he says could lead to victory in the war. Edh points out that this appears to be a suicide mission, but she is given a reason to try to make it: the chance to be reunited with Vanja, who has been found in a refugee camp.
