Synopsis
Kresten is a newly married man who claims he has no family. He suddenly learns that his father has died and that his retarded brother is alone on the abandoned family farm. He must confess to having had a family all along, and being ashamed of his rural background. When he goes to the farm, he tries to get out quickly by hiring a housekeeper to look after brother Rud. But the housekeeper isn't what she seems, and some unexpected guests force Kresten to stay longer. Meanwhile, his wife back in Copenhagen is getting restless, and his relationship with Rud is blossoming.

"Mifune" is Soren Kragh-Jacobsen's first film made in accordance with Dogme 95, the artistic movement he co-founded with fellow Scandinavian directors Lars von Triers and Thomas Vinterberg. Established in the fall of 1995, the group has declared itself "a rescue operation to counter certain tendencies in film today. Dogme 95 opposes the auteur concept, make-up, illusions and dramaturgical predictability. Dogme 95 desires to purge film so that once again the inner lives of charactes justify the plot."
