Synopsis:

The debut feature from Danish director Ole Bornedal, Nattevagten is a psychological thriller starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. While a serial killer is on the loose, brutally murdering several prostitutes, college-student Martin (Coster-Waldau) takes a job as the night watchman at the local mortuary in order to pay his law-school tuition. As it turns out, the bodies of the victims are being stored at that very mortuary. When Martin takes a bet that involves tampering with the bodies, he suddenly finds himself a suspect in the case. Bordenal, who also wrote the script, later remade Nattevagten in Hollywood under the title Nightwatch.

In order to finance his law studies, Martin takes up a job as a night-watchman in a morgue. There he meets Inspector Wörmer, a criminal investigator who is tracking a brutal murderer whose victims are prostitutes. Martin is horrified but fascinated by the events and becomes drawn into this bizarre world, unsure whether he will be the next victim or the killer himself.

A suspense thriller about a young law student who has taken a part time job as a lone hospital night watchman, just as a serial killer has begun to terrorize the city. Even more frightening are all the clues, which keep leading him back to him. The police are closing in, and this innocent man has become a prime suspect. To solve the crime, he'll have to stay awake--wide awake.
