Michael has everything under control: a successful military career, a beautiful wife and two daughters. His younger brother Jannik is a drifter, living on the edge of the law. When Michael is sent to Afghanistan on a UN mission the balance between the two brothers changes forever. Michael is missing in action - presumed dead - and Sarah is comforted by Jannik, who against all odds shows himself capable of taking responsibility for both himself and the family. It soon becomes clear that their feelings have developed beyond mutual sympathy. When Michael comes home, traumatized by being held prisoner in the mountains of Afghanistan, nothing is the same... 极端的环境对人性的改变。战争是魔鬼。 影片讲述一对原本走在两条截然不同生命线上的丹麦兄弟，因着阿富汗战争，生命因而逆转交缠。看似是一出充满反战意味的影片，实质却是一个现实世界里有血有肉的爱情故事。 哥哥迈克尔拥有一个美好家庭，美丽的妻子莎拉加上两个女儿；在军队中，亦是踏着一片光明的仕途。相反，弟弟詹尼克终日徘徊在法律边缘，漫无目标地生活。为履行联合国军队的任务，迈克尔被派驻阿富汗，不幸地，从此人间蒸发。詹尼克于是代替哥哥照顾家庭，与莎拉发展出微妙的感情。一直被囚禁的迈克尔突然回家，更是性情大变……
