Shortly before his execution in Israel, Adolf Eichmann would write a two-part memoir featured in Time Magazine, complaining that Denmark's successful evacuation of Jews and organized resistance in World War II posed the greatest difficulties of all for the Nazi regime. 15-40 is the true story of Danish tennis player, Kai Hansen who, during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, has to make the decision of his life.An unflinching competitor, Kai Hansen is well on his way to winning a spot at the European championships in Sweden. Under a comfortable Nazi occupation, Kai's world is limited to the court and to the many luxuries that his status affords him. In order for him to realize his dream of participating in the European Championships in Sweden, he has to defeat aging tennis great, Erik Bjarnson. But when it is discovered that Erik might in fact be a Jew, and that a massive deportation of Danish Jews is planned by the Nazis, Kai has to decide whether to risk it all or for his countrymen or remain veiled in a life of pride and privilege.
