Why we chose it

Hlynur Pálmason (“The Love That Remains”) made his feature debut with this harsh, surreal fairy tale, its darkness set against white snow, and won nine Danish film awards, best film among them. Elliott Crosset Hove can be funny one second and menacing the next.

Synopsis

In the dead of winter, Emil and his brother Johan go down into a limestone quarry every morning. After the shift, Emil sells his workmates home-made moonshine, distilled from whatever he can smuggle out of the plant. Then he gets hold of a rifle and starts watching army training films.
