synopsis

Henrik and his older brother Christian are in debt and have problems with drugs and alcohol. Their situation might be resolved by an inheritance from their rich grandfather, who recently passed away. However, their journey towards this money is complicated at every step of the way, as other family members also lay claim to the inheritance. The handheld camera allows the filmmakers to create an intimate and immediate portrait of aggravated family relations that spill over into open conflict.
