Set in Copenhagen's rough northwest neighborhood, the feature follows two brothers as they fight to climb the ladder of organized crime. Newcomers (and real-life brothers) Gustav Dzekjaer Giese and Oscar Dyekjaer Giese star.

Noer's first feature -- the prison drama R -- was well received and sold strongly worldwide.

Northwest premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam before heading to Berlin.
