The lives of two families cross paths in the acclaimed drama In a Better World, this year's Academy

Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film. Anton (Mikael Persbrandt) is a doctor who commutes

between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark and work at an African refugee camp. In these two very

different worlds, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices ranging from

revenge to forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne (Trine Dyrholm) have two young sons, are

separated and are struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their 10-year-old son Elias (Markus

Rygaard) is being bullied at school, until he is defended by Christian (William Jøhnk Nielsen), a new boy

who has just moved from London with his father, Claus (Ulrich Thomsen). Christian's mother recently

lost her battle with cancer, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly

form a strong bond, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially

tragic consequences, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately, it is their parents

who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy.
