Uno

You Can´t Stand Alone Forever

An angry young man confronts alienation, retribution and loyalty to family in this riveting thriller. As tender as it is hard-hitting, Uno tells the tale of young bodybuilding and streetwise tough, David (unflinchingly portrayed by writer-director Aksel Hennie).

David´s home life is unbearable: His mother is falling apart, his father is dying, and he is forced to care for his brother with Down´s syndrome. But David has everything under control, and he´s the go-to guy at the run-down gym where he works. When his thuggish boss´ son is caught trafficking illegal steroids and all his co-workers are questions, David is forced to choose between allegiance to family or friends.

With a gritty visual style and powerhouse performances, Uno marks the scintillating filmmaking debut of one of Norway´s biggest stars.
