| Danish assessment | Filmen har indledningsvist en dyster og knugende grundstemning, som dog gradvist bliver mere rolig og let. Den skildrer problemfyldte familierelationer, en hovedperson som lider af ptsd, og i enkelte scener er en dreng utryg og bange for sin far. Da filmen også er varm og fortællingen langsom, vurderes den kun at kunne virke skræmmende på børn under 11 år. |

After a burst of violence within the family, he is sent to the small, remote island of Strynø, where he, along with other veterans and surrounded by nature, slowly reconnects with himself and others around him. When an army buddy from the past suddenly appears with an offer that might pull Youssef back into the darkness of war; he faces the hardest choice of his life. Will he return to the familiar chaos of the battlefield or find the strength to become a father and man again? |
