Cinema: Kevlar Soul (SE)

Where: Høllin
Duration: 102 min.

Let down by the adult world, teenage brothers Alex and Robin have been left to fend for themselves. Their protective symbiosis has forged a strong bond that’s made Robin completely reliant on his older brother Alex. That is, until Alex falls in love. Feeling abandoned by Alex, Robin spirals into a freefall. Alex blames himself for naively letting his first love distract him from his responsibilities towards his younger brother and pours all his efforts into saving Robin – who may not want to be saved.
