When we’re first introduced to our 18-year-old protagonist Casper, played by newcomer Gustav Dyekjær Giese, he’s committing a house robbery, a despicable crime, where innocent people such as you and I are the victim. Inevitably, our feelings towards the youngster are cold, as an instant, bad impression is formed. Yet the viewer can’t help but be sympathetic to his plight, as he’s emblematic of a broken community, as Danish filmmaker Michael Noer takes us deep into the unforgiving, criminal underworld of Northwest.
Having built up a reputation for stealing valuable possessions, and selling them on to Jamal (Dulfi Al-Jabouri) and Ali (Ali Abdul Amir Najei), Casper is approached by the shrewd kingpin Bjørn (Roland Møller) to work on his behalf, where the stakes are raised, and the wads of cash thicker. However his affluence is short-lived, as his former associates are seeking revenge for him finding another buyer.
