Show Guide: 'Bullshit'

Synopsis: This coming-of-age Danish language drama tells the powerful story of a group of lost and rebellious youths who find community and belonging in the hardcore biker gang “Bullshit,” but leads to a world of brutal conflict.

Pia (Alba August, The Congregation, The Rain) is a determined 16-year-old who summons up the courage to finally leave her difficult family. Taking with her just 100 Kroner and the desire to be part of a community, she meets 18-year-old Henning, a.k.a Mackerel (Ilsø), who turns his back on acceptable society to follow his dreams of brotherhood, freedom and motorcycles - leading him to the biker gang he sees as his family.  The pair embark on a wild love-affair as the ambitious Mackerel is determined to climb the ranks of Bullshit, whatever the cost.  Life seems ideal for a moment as he eventually becomes its President and Pia becomes his wife, but a bloody war with the Hells Angels is about to change everything.
