A mid-life crisis propels one disillusio­ned father to the brink of self-destructio­n in this Danish black comedy.

Family man Martin (Rasmus Bjerg) feels ill-equipped to provide for his wife Anne (Sofie Grabol) and two daughters.

Under the auspices of attending a conference, he leaves home, dons the furs of Viking ancestors and heads deep into a forest to live off the land and prove

his worth as a huntergath­erer. Alas, Martin is poorly equipped to source food or fend for himself so a local shop becomes a lifeline for provisions.

During one sortie through the forest, Martin stumbles upon a badly injured man called Musa (Zaki Youssef), who turns out to be a drug smuggler on the run.

Martin nurses Musa back to health and they embark on a madcap quest to find a self-sustaining community in the mountains.
