A gangsterfilm set in the suburbs of Copenhagen. Casper, 18, the oldest of three siblings, survives life on the streets by committing burglaries for the neighbourhood boss, Jamal. When Casper gets an offer to work for Jamal’s rival Björn, he jumps at the chance for a better life, making his way into a world of drugs and prostitution. As things escalate between Björn and Jamal, Casper finds himself and his family dead center of a conflict that threatens to destroy them.
“Michael Noer is fascinated by the Danish underworld. After the prison drama “R”, he has now made another rugged, adrenaline-fuelled crime drama in which disputes are settled by violence. Noer, who wrote the screenplay himself, sets up a tense plot emphasizing the grim psychology of criminals. His background as a documentary maker shows in the style, reminiscent of social-realism, with the camera constantly moving and the characters in merciless close-ups.” – Rotterdam FF
