I Will Not Serve<br />
“When she went to pick up the newspaper the<br />
next morning, she found the photo slipped in<br />
through the chink beneath the door. She almost<br />
missed the picture which flew out and landed on<br />
the thin blanket of snow that had settled on the<br />
landing during the night.<br />
When she leaned over it she immediately<br />
saw that it was a photo of herself. She was standing<br />
with a glass of wine in her hand and gazed<br />
through the grand panorama window in the<br />
living room at Paul Zander’s place.<br />
At first she just stared, paralysed, at the photo,<br />
then she quickly put it in the pocket of her dressing<br />
gown and plod through snow down to the<br />
letter box while her brain went into overdrive.”<br />
Psychiatrist Anna Sager is worn out with<br />
work and struggles with everyday life. At<br />
home, her husband Jakob is increasingly<br />
frustrated with having to take care of the<br />
household and the kids in her absence. And<br />
at work, she fails to be as committed to her<br />
patients as she usually is, with severe consequences.<br />
When Anna is contacted by the security police,<br />
offering her to do a profile on a young<br />
girl who is stalking a minister of the government,<br />
it seems like a new beginning for her<br />
professional life. But Anna lets her emotions<br />
guide her and soon she is dragged into a<br />
political power play, where she herself risks<br />
becoming a victim.<br />
At the Government Offices Anna gets to<br />
know Emre Oktan, an up-and-coming press<br />
secretary who is also fighting battles between<br />
his personal and professional life. On the one<br />
hand he has the headstrong Prime Minister<br />
and the receding poll ratings to deal with; on<br />
the other hand he has his background and<br />
high personal values, which sometimes clash<br />
with his political mission.<br />
