Winter Brothers

Elliott Crosset Hove (Best Actor, Locarno) is misfit Emil, a limestone miner tethered to his older brother in some inhospitable corner of industrial Denmark. His life, a grim routine of unforgiving work and social exclusion, is assuaged by the friendship of his sibling, his affection for the town's only woman, and the moonshine he makes with chemicals lifted from the mine -- that is, until a toxic batch lands a co-worker in the ER.
