Synopsis:

Bristling with repressed rage, a female war veteran drinks to excess to numb her fury. After returning to her provincial Danish hometown, she becomes involved with her sleazy fathers brothel business. For their fourth feature together, director Annette K. Olesen and screenwriter Kim Fupz Aakeson combine two timely social issues - disturbed former soldiers and prostitution with a troubled father-daughter relationship drama. Raised by her grandparents after her mother died, tough, mannish-looking Lotte (Trine Dyrholm, Denmark's biggest female star) clearly has unresolved issues with her unreliable father Kurt, and still longs for his approval and affection. Needing money after abruptly leaving the Danish armed forces in Afghanistan, Lotte asks her dad for a loan. Instead, he offers her work as a driver, and she winds up as chauffeur and protector for Kurts gorgeous mistress Lily, one of the Nigerian prostitutes he pimps as a side to his legitimate trucking business. Although Lotte initially displays jealousy over the attention Kurt showers on ultra-feminine Lily, she soon discovers that Lily's looks and attitude serve as a defensive cover not so different from the façade Lotte had to assume while in the army. Ultimately, the two little soldiers form an uneasy bond.

After yet another mission abroad, the young soldier Lotte returns home, completely disillusioned with life. Lotte's unreliable father offers her a job as a chauffeur for his Nigerian girlfriend, the escort girl Lily. Both Lotte and Lily carry invisible scars and are reluctant at first, but a friendship slowly emerges between the two women, and things take an unexpected turn.

A soldier returning from war is hired by her own father to drive his prostitutes around town. She calls upon herself to help one of them.
