Crime comedy
After 15 years for bank robbery, Anker is released from prison. The loot was buried back then by his brother Manfred, who has been suffering from an identity disorder since childhood. Waiting so long for his brother has not been good for Manfred. He has further developed his mental disorder and completely devoted himself to music. Logically, Manfred can no longer remember the money or where he buried it. Anker brings his brother back to their shared family home, which is now rented out by a boxer on Airbnb, hoping this might trigger the memory of his former self. Anker has no time to lose. Because his accomplice from back then, Friendly Flemming, is hot on their heels and claims the loot for himself. But in the dark green forests of Denmark, not only a pile of money awaits him, but also the deep pain of a wounded child's soul.
The latest caper from the comedy dream team from Denmark: THERAPY FOR VIKINGS hurls punchline material at a second's pace, is delightfully unpredictable, and wickedly funny. Director Anders Thomas Jensen (Adam's Apples, Heroes of Probability) accomplishes a deep crime-comedy about confused identities and two brothers who love each other.
