Overview

Brothers Henrik and Christian have put a year-long family and inheritance dispute behind them. A dispute that was once about a million-dollar fortune and a dubious will, but which was fundamentally rooted in their shared upbringing in a dysfunctional family. Now the two brothers stand at a crossroads: Henrik tries to break the destructive patterns and create stability for his family, while Christian seeks belonging in a right-wing brotherhood. At the center is Henrik's son Alexander, torn between the shadows of the past and his own hope for change. Can one ever break free from one's social heritage?
