An atmospheric story about two brothers, set in the frozen landscape of a mining community. Emil is an outsider, a freak accepted by the locals only grudgingly because of his more sociable and handsome brother Johan. In his free time, he produces illegal brandy with stolen factory chemicals and yearns for passion and belonging. When one worker gets ill, Emil and his brandy are the main suspects. And he gets betrayed by Johan – young Anna, whom Emil is in love with, has chosen his brother. Surrounded by the eerie, almost apocalyptic atmosphere of the industrial landscape filled with deafening sounds of factories and mines, Emil gradually loses control. Violence is inevitable. The film won a number of awards in Locarno, including the Leopard for Best Actor and the Europa Cinemas Label.
