After serving 15 years in prison for a bank robbery, Anker is finally released. The money was
hidden at the time by his brother Manfred, who now suffers from dissociative identity disorder,
remembers nothing, and insists on being called John. The brothers set off to search for the buried
loot, but along the way are forced to confront both their old and new identities. The inseparable
Danish duo Anders Thomas Jensen and Mads Mikkelsen presented their latest comedy – full of
Jensen’s trademark endearing and eccentric oddballs – at the Venice Film Festival, a sharp blend
of Scandinavian humor and heartfelt reflection.
