Film Overview

Original Title: Den Sidste Viking
English Title: The Last Viking

Anker is released from prison following a fifteen-year sentence for robbery. The money from the heist was buried by Anker’s brother, Manfred. Only he knows where it is. Unfortunately, Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen) has since developed a mental illness causing him to forget all. Together, the brothers embark on an unexpected journey to locate the money and discover who they really are. THE LAST VIKING is an offbeat, intriguing, and devious comedy about identity.
