The Green Butchers

1 hr. 35 min. | Drama, Comedy | N/A

Bjarne and Svend are pals. Svend has great ambition driven by an equally great inferiority complex, while Bjarne hardly cares about anything at all apart from Astrid, his girlfriend. Starting their own butcher's shop enables them to escape from their vicious boss, Holger, but the shop doesn't do well until a bizarre coincidence leads Svend to concoct a new dish for the organic butcher shop. Business takes off, but will they still able to obtain the ingredients for this special dish? Nikolaj Lie Kaas played two roles in this film - butcher Bjarne and his mentally ill brother Eigil.
