Spoilers ahead
Neo-Nazi Adam O. Pedersen (Ulrich Thomsen), currently on probation, arrives at a quaint countryside church to serve three months of community service. He’s greeted by local priest Ivan Fjeldsted (Mads Mikkelsen), who picks him up in a small van. Adam shows his disdain by refusing to shake hands or engage in conversation.
Upon arriving at the church, Ivan proudly shows off a large apple tree in the yard, indicating that it’s harvest season, even though the apples aren’t quite ripe yet. Inside the church, Ivan introduces Adam to fellow community service workers, Khalid (Ali Kazim) and Gunnar (Nicolas Bro). The atmosphere becomes tense as Khalid recoils at Adam’s bald head and visible tattoos, which prominently feature Nazi symbols.
