Brotherhood (Danish: Broderskab) is a 2009 Danish film written by Rasmus Birch and Nicolo Donato, directed by Donato and produced by Per Holst.
Plot
Lars (
Jimmy's emotionally unstable younger brother Patrick (Morten Holst), who is already jealous that newcomer Lars quickly advanced above him in the pecking order within the Nazi group, discovers their relationship. Tormented and angry, he informs on them to leader Michael (Nicolas Bro). The whole group seek out Lars, and force Jimmy at knifepoint to beat him viciously. But after the vicious attack Jimmy stays with Lars and takes him to the isolated Nazi safe house they had been sharing. The two resolve to leave the Brotherhood and escape, but just as they are hastily packing the car to flee, a gay man whom Jimmy had beaten savagely in a Nazi group queer-bashing expedition, shown in the movie's opening scene, emerges from the dark and stabs him.
The movie ends with Jimmy lying unconscious in a hospital bed, Lars holding his hand, their fates unclear.
