“Man cannot live off bread alone...”
The award-winning Nordic Noir from writer/director David Noel Bourke. Jens has accepted far too much for too long. Being the shy night-owl he is, he keeps to himself, but the world will not let him be. The new master baker's quality starts slackening, and when a bunch of yobs one day smash the window of Jens's car, he takes one of them out. Intoxicated by his own new unexpressed vigour, Jens comes out of his shell, but the destructive driving force leads him towards a free fall. + WINNER! BEST MALE ACTOR (Mikkel Vadsholt) at NIFF + WINNER! BEST OF YEAR at Oniros + WINNER! BEST FOREIGN FEATURE FILM - MARYLAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL + Nominated for Méliès d’Argent AWARD "BAKERMAN is a Nordic "Falling Down". A film that is as shocking with its vigilante story as it is captivating with its determination...." - CPH:PIX Film Festival
