Brothers DVD

Danish Academy Award Winner Ulrich Thomsen (Festen, Mike Bassett England Manager) stars as Michael, a man who has everything under control; a successful military career, a beautiful wife (Connie Nielsen: Gladiator, Rushmore) and two loving daughters. His younger brother Jannik (fellow Danish Academy Award Winner, Nicolaj Lie Kaas: The Idiots, Reconstruction) is a drifter, living on the edge of the law.

When Michael is sent to Afghanistan on a UN peacekeeping mission, it is not long before events turn dramatic and he is missing in action - presumed dead. Sarah is comforted by Jannik who against all the odds takes responsibility for himself and his brother's family. It soon becomes clear that Jannik and Sarah's feelings have developed beyond mutual sympathy - the fragility of their emotions is constantly under threat as the balance between husband and wife and the two brothers changes forever.

Winner of the World Cinema Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2005, BROTHERS takes you on an emotional journey that brings together the difficult choices we make in life and the consequences thereafter.
