A man who had it all but paid for it with even more, losing what mattered to him most - his family. As a kid, Claus Malmqvist was all take take take, hungry for a life outside of the ordinary. Watching his accountant father work tirelessly across years of white-collar humdrum just to support the family. Malmqvist saw another way, another world, and another life, one limitless with possibilities. At just 10, he plunges into the underworld, swims with the sharks - the hustlers, the hookers and the gangsters. The glitz and power is intoxicating. But dangerous. Malmqvist surrounds himself with a crew that would take a bullet for him. And none more than Kim, Malmqvist's right hand man, and best friend. Then. One day. Flatline. Malmqvist's father dies. A man Malmqvist never truly got to know. And that knowledge eats him up inside. Steeped in riches, spice, and all things sickly nice, Malmqvist for the first time yearns for one thing: an ordinary life - of the type he spent most of his own running away from. But how do you play family man when you are a full-time gangster? THE VIKING is part biopic, part true crime story. About a man who spends 16 years in prison, two of them in one of Brazil's worst. 'Keep your head' takes on a whole new meaning. Desperate not to bring disrepute or danger upon his son, Malmqvist masquerades as a prison guard for 12 years, keeping from him why he never comes home at night. Even more than the life behind bars, what weighs on Claus Malmqvist is the people he has hurt. His biggest regret is also his greatest challenge. How to fix a relationship with his son when it's built entirely on lies? Written by Peter Anthony See less
