In Skammen, set during a civil war, two musicians decide to retreat to a rural island and become farmers. They are not interested in politics and lead a simple life, relying on their neighbor for occasional fish and cherishing wine as a luxury. Despite their love for each other, the couple faces some challenges in their relationship. The war negatively affects Jan, making him emotional and sensitive, while Eva desires to have children, a wish that Jan does not share.

He even gives her money, adding further intrigue.

As the rebels return, chaos ensues, and Jan experiences a transformative journey. Through these challenging circumstances, he emerges as a symbol of resilience and strength. Skammen is a thought-provoking and emotionally immersive film that explores the impact of war on individuals and relationships, raising questions about loyalty, survival, and humanity in times of great upheaval.
