About

The hero of Vinterberg’s dis­turbing and evocative drama is 40-year-old Lucas (the excellent Mads Mikkelsen) who is trying to get his life back together after a difficult divorce, and to strengthen his relationship with his son Marcus. Little does he suspect that an innocent lie has sown the seeds of mistrust among their cohabitating community of friends. He will be forced to fight not only for his dignity but for his very life.
