A deadly inheritance: One young woman’s journey from loss to self-discovery

Julie is a fierce, hypnotically charming and has everything. Shortly after her 18th birthday, Julie receives an ominous final text message from her father. Seconds later, her parents and big brother are killed in a plane crash in Rwanda. Left alone in a giant mansion, she appears to have everything others only dream of: youth, beauty and money - lots of money. But as the loss of her family sinks in, she is forced to find a reason to keep living and embarks on a dangerous journey of rediscovery that will take her from her native Denmark to all corners of the world in an existential struggle back to life after loss.

From Denmark to all corners of the globe, Kamikaze combines gripping drama, cinematic visuals, and a high-stakes, character-driven story, offering universal themes of loss, resilience, and self-discovery that resonate with audiences worldwide.
