Brothers
Directed by Susanne Bier
Produced by Zentropa Entertainments
A dark, intimate family drama centered on the psychological and relational devastation wrought by war, imprisonment, and the uncertainty of loss.
A Danish officer, Michael, is sent away to the International Security Assistance Force operation in Afghanistan for three months. His first mission there is to find a young radar technician who had been separated from his squad some days earlier. While on the search, his helicopter is shot down and he is taken as a prisoner of war, but is reported dead to the family.
