Coming soon • June 2026
The sixth collaboration between Mads Mikkelsen and director Anders Thomas Jensen (Men & Chicken, Riders of Justice) is a surprising, darkly humorous drama about family and belonging.
Comedy • Off-beat • Dark
After serving fifteen years in prison, bank robber Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is determined to recover the stolen money his brother Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen) buried years earlier. There’s just one problem: Manfred, caught in an identity crisis and convinced he is John Lennon, can no longer remember where it is hidden.
The brothers set off on an increasingly chaotic hunt for the missing fortune, digging up old family secrets on the way.

Suicide/self-harm
“"Mikkelsen is glorious, but so is Kaas as a man with serious anger management problems. Somehow, despite the bloodshed, this is a genuinely sweet story about sibling love."”
Radio Times
“"To put it simply, this is the kind of film that makes you laugh until you wince, and then wince until you laugh again."”
