Best known for his chilling international hit Nightwatch, Ole Bornedal is at his genre filmmaking best in this harrowing allegory on hatred in an archetypal small Danish town. In search of a new lifestyle, Johannes and his wife leave the city and move with their two children to Johannes' childhood town in the country. Violence erupts when drunken truck driver Lars, Johanne's brother, runs over a local woman and pins the blame on the town's Bosnian refugee. When Johannes stands up for the man and gives him shelter, Lars and his friends head for Johannes' secluded house, armed with a shotgun and boundless rage...

Danish thriller in which a man returns to his hometown only to find himself face-to-face with its xenophobia and intolerance. Johannes (Lasse Rimmer) relocates his wife and two young children to the rural town of his youth in the belief that it will provide a better lifestyle for them than the bustle of the city. However, while absence from the town may have developed his fondness for the quietness of country life, it may have caused him to forget the more negative elements of the area. These are brought home to him when his brother, Lars (Jens Andersen), kills a local woman in a drink driving incident and proceeds to pin the blame on a Bosnian refugee who lives in the town. Aware of the Bosnian's innocence, Johannes comes to his defence and quickly finds out how dangerous life in the town can be for those who refuse to conform to its stereotypes...
