Synopsis

Allan (Jannik Lorenzen), an 11-year-old living in rural Denmark in the 1970s, is desperate to help his father, Henry (Jesper Asholt), a milkman who suffers from bouts of suicidal depression and hysteria. Things get worse when a rival family starts stealing Henry’s customers — and soon, Allan is driven to commit increasingly atrocious acts. Based on a novel by Erling Jepsen, this dark tale co-stars Julie Kolbech as Allan’s sister Sanne.
