After serving 15 years in prison for robbery, Anker sets out to recover the stolen money hidden by his brother Manfred. There is only one problem: Manfred, played by Mads Mikkelsen, no longer remembers where he buried it and now believes he is John Lennon. The brothers embark on an increasingly absurd journey to find the money – and, ultimately, rediscover each other. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and was subsequently selected for Toronto. It became an enormous commercial success in Denmark, selling over 700,000 cinema tickets.

Amid cigarette smoke, music, prostitutes, and sailors, people share shattered dreams and uncertain hopes. As social tensions deepen, the far-left armed group FP25 emerges. Its members follow a path of no return, living underground lives built on bank robberies, attacks, friendship, family, and love — all under the perpetual threat of prison or death.

Sig, obviously a tourist, suffers from memory loss and can’t remember where he is from and why he is – as he thinks – stuck in Slovakia. Together with Guti, they embark on a journey to recover Sig’s passport and identity and, in the meantime, work on Guti’s dream project: a river raft that will hopefully rebuild Guti’s life that has fallen victim to bad divorce, failed bank loans, vicious bureaucracy, and many, many bad neighbors. Hidden People is a fairy-tale dramedy about new beginnings and unexpected friendships.
