A 15-year-old boy learns his dad's hate is a lousy inheritance.

Othala (2021)

Coming-of-age nightmareFamily cult pressureSchoolyard warfare

Overview

Drama

The gentle Odin (15) is the son of Herman Brest, the front man of an extreme right-wing group. After a speech by Herman goes viral, the family receives serious threats and Odin gets into a fight with the popular Victor (16) at school. As a pariah at school and a promise in his father's increasingly aggressive group, Odin feels trapped between two worlds. He desperately clings to loyalty to his father, but his once so familiar world view slowly starts to falter.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The title refers to a rune symbolizing heritage and inheritance — bitterly ironic given Odin's unwanted legacy.

Insight

Director Yim Brakel cast Gijs Naber specifically because he could make Herman charismatic enough that you almost understand why people follow him.
