An intense 80-minute tour de force about two brothers, Tim and Frank, who make a robbery to get money to pay for their dying mother, so she can continue her medical treatment in Germany, after the Danish health care system has abandoned her. But the robbery goes wrong and the police arrive, preventing the two brothers from using their planned getaway car. Instead they steal an ambulance, but they discover - during their escape from the police - that there's a dying heart patient and a hospital intern, Julie, in the back of the vehicle. Julie tells the two brothers that the patient will die, if they don't turn around immediately and go back to the hospital. This puts the two brothers against each other. They are now, all of a sudden, facing the dilemma of their life: to they save the patient - or their own mother. Tim is forced to turn against his own big brother to prevent getting a murder on his conscience.
