The Day Will Come
Some have power, others have bravery.
Directed by Jesper W. Nielsen
Produced by Zentropa Entertainments, FilmFyn
A harrowing true-story drama about two brothers enduring institutional abuse, held together by their bond and fragile hope against a tyrannical authority figure.
Set in the blooming 1960s, the film centres on two young brothers who are instantly robbed of their lives when they are placed in a boy's home forgotten by time. Armed only with a vivid imagination and a fickle hope, the boys engage in the frightening battle against Headmaster Heck and his lethal tyranny. The film is based on actual events.
