18-year-old Casper lives in Northwest, one of the most impoverished areas of Copenhagen, and makes ends meet selling stolen goods to one of the local thugs. When a rival organised gang offers Casper an opportunity to move up in the ranks, he is hurled into a violent power play that could jeopardise his family. A complex, richly drawn character, Casper is compellingly played by Gustav Dyekjær Giese. Northwest is a tough, fast-paced and absorbing crime thriller loaded with real dramatic weight. It screens in Sydney for the Windows On Europe Film Festival.
