SunLive Competition

Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Golden Globes.

Danish drama from director Susanne Bier (After the Wedding, Brothers), follows the lives of two Danish families, stretching from a refugee camp in Sudan to a Danish provincial town.

In war-torn Sudan, physician Anton (Mikael Persbrandt) confronts a steady stream of tragedy and loss. Back home in Denmark, his estranged wife, Marianne (Trine Dyrholm), is concerned about their eldest son, Elias, who is picked on mercilessly. When new kid Christian arrives in class, he and Elias bond over a mutual hatred of the school bully.

Surly and vicious since the loss of his mother, Christian is hardening into a rigid and ferocious manifestation of masculinity. His heartbroken father, Claus (Ulrich Thomsen), is finding it impossible to cope with Christian’s behaviour.

In A Better World is screening at Rialto.
