The Last Viking

Synopsis

"The Last Viking" is about Anker, who is released after 14 years in prison for robbery. Anker’s brother, Manfred, is the only one who knows where the money from the robbery is hidden. However, he has developed a mental illness that causes him to no longer remember where it is concealed. Together, the brothers embark on a surprising journey — not only to find the money but also to discover who they really are. "The Last Viking" is a humorous, clever, and unsettling fable about identity.
