Isabella Eklof's powerful drama delves into the dark consequences of problematic father figures and a pill-pushing doctor, leading a Danish man named Jan into a downward spiral. After being sexually abused by his father, Jan flees his traumas and moves to Nuuk, Greenland, where he works as a nurse and tries to assimilate into the local community. However, his past resurfaces through a letter from his dying father, pushing him further into drug addiction and extramarital affairs. Emil Johnsen delivers a captivating performance as Jan, capturing both his boyish fragility and unsettling nature. This film explores themes of Denmark's paternalistic relationship with Greenland and its people, reflecting Jan's haunting experiences. Following her acclaimed debut "Holiday" (GFF 2018), Eklof courageously examines human darkness through this film, based on Kim Leine's autobiography, solidifying her status as one of the most exciting Nordic directors today.
