Eighteen-year-old Casper (Gustav Dyekjær Giese) who lives in the infamous Nordvest suburb of Copenhagen with his mother brother Andy and sister Freya is a talented housebreaker who makes ends meet committing burglaries for neighbourhood boss Jamal. When a rival gangster Bjorn makes Caspar an offer of more lucrative terms and perhaps the promise of advancement through the ranks of his very white Danish family the enraged Jamal is not prepared to tolerate defection; things violently escalate placing the teenager and his family at the centre of a toxic... conflict. What could be a predictable genre tale is elevated far above the ordinary by director Noer s fresh script and restrained approach and by Gustav Dyekjær Giese s natural and powerful performance. His remarkable stillness only serves to intensify Casper s inner turmoil. [show more]
