The black comedy penned by Bornedal has a strong cast consisting of this year’s three Robert awards winners Nicolas Bro (Men & Chicken), Ulrich Thomsen (Summer of ’92) and Lene Maria Christensen (The Legacy). Other cast members include Mia Lyhne, Søren Malling, UK actor Gwen Taylor and Polish actor Marcin Dorocinski. The story focuses on two friends who want to get rid of their wives and hire a Russian killer. But they underestimate the ladies and end up themselves on top of the hit list.
