The Swap

VPRO/NPO 3

A psychological drama about two brothers battling over their past, against the backdrop of our failing capitalistic system. When successful banker Thomas meets his activist brother Arne at their father’s funeral, Thomas tries to reconnect. He invites Arne to visit a prestigious conference on ‘sustainable banking’. When Arne uses this conference to stage one of his ludicrous activist statements it has fatal consequences. Thomas must fight for his career, the life of his brother, but most of all he tries to fight for Arne’s respect. The film is directed by Jorien van Nes and written by Philip Delmaar and Waldemar Torenstra.
