Winter Brothers

In a remote limestone-mining community during a harsh Danish winter, two brothers struggle through the bleak routines of survival. Emil, socially awkward and desperate for connection, brews moonshine from stolen chemicals—an act that sparks suspicion, hostility, and a dangerous spiral of jealousy when his co-worker falls ill and his brother Johan wins the affection of a woman Emil desires. Winner of the Bodil Award for Best Danish Film and multiple Robert Awards, Hlynur Pálmason’s (Godland) striking debut announced a major new voice in Nordic cinema.
