When thief Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is released after a 15-year jail term for robbery, he plans to retrieve his loot. The only problem is, his brother Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen) – who has dissociative identity disorder and currently believes he is Beatle John Lennon – is the only one who knows where the key is. The pair set off on a madcap treasure hunt to their childhood home, which is now a holiday rental. Jensen underpins the chaos of the action with the warmth of the brothers’ gradual reconnection.
