After fourteen years behind bars for an armed robbery that yielded DKR41 million—roughly £4.5 million—"Anker" (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) returns home to his sister. The stolen money was given to his brother "Manfred" (Mads Mikkelsen), who buried it on their mother's property, and Anker hopes they can recover it. However, Manfred now calls himself “John,” suffers from an associative disorder, and isn’t being helpful in the search, regardless of how his brother tries to reason with him. Things get even more complicated when "Friendly Flemming" (Nicolas Bro) shows up wanting the money—and he's clearly not someone to be trifled with. To protect themselves, Anker thinks they should head to the countryside and rent a lodge from their parents’ former home, now occupied by the dysfunctional couple Margarethe (Sofie Gråbøl) and Werner (Søren Malling). He hopes he can convince his brother to find the money. John believes he is John Lennon, despite being unable to sing or play guitar. "Lothar/Keld" (Lars Brygmann), a man they met at the institution where John was receiving care, suggests they recreate The Beatles using other people with similar mental health issues who think they are Ringo, Paul, and George. Surprisingly, thanks to a quick trip to Sweden involving someone who thinks he's both George and Paul (and Bjorn from ABBA), they manage to assemble a second-rate version of the band. But Flemming is still after the cash—will Anker find it in time, or will he be stuck playing his own version of "Holes" among the fir trees? This darkly funny film holds nothing back as it barrels through increasingly violent and absurd situations. Mikkelsen has very little dialogue but portrays his unstable character with remarkable subtlety, particularly as glimpses into their traumatic childhood reveal possible causes for his illness and dependence. It’s more than just a comedy; it offers insights into family dynamics, love, loyalty, alcoholism, and greed—though these serious themes are lightened by silly antics involving a staple gun and John's insistence that he is still a Viking communicating through ancient runes. The movie starts strong, and if you appreciate humor with an edge, this might be for you.
