Synopsis

IN A BETTER WORLD is a drama of broken idyll and the choice between revenge and pacifism. The film connects the brutal life in an African refugee camp with the postcard-pretty idyll of a sleepy, Danish provincial town. Anton is a doctor and commutes between an African refugee camp and his home in Denmark where he has two small sons. He has left his beloved wife Marianne and they now try to get used to a life without each other. At the same time, Anton's ten-year-old son Elias befriends a new boy in class, Christian, and this unusual friendship soon develops into an ominous alliance which threatens to destroy the village idyll forever.

Director's comment

IN A BETTER WORLD sets out to explore the limitations we encounter in trying to control our society as well as our personal lives.
It asks whether our own "advanced" culture is the model for a better world. Or whether the same disarray found in lawlessness is lurking beneath surface of our civilization?

Are we immune to chaos, or obviously teetering on the verge of disorder?
