Swedish doctor Anton (Mikael Persbrandt) works in a refugee camp in Sudan, confronting the pain and death caused by armed violence every day; during his vacations, he flies back to Denmark to take turns caring for his two sons with his estranged wife Marianne (Trine Dyrholm). The boy Christian (William Jøhnk Nielsen), who moved from London to Denmark, feels a growing distance from his father after his mother's death. At his new school, he befriends Anton's eldest son Elias (Markus Rygaard), who faces discrimination and bullying due to his Swedish identity. Christian teaches Elias to fight back, and the two boys from broken families become friends. Anton takes his two sons and Christian out for a trip but gets humiliated after a misunderstanding leads to being slapped repeatedly. Anton insists on resolving the situation with tolerance, but the children do not understand. After discovering gunpowder in the storeroom, Christian begins to urge Elias to join his dangerous revenge plan. Meanwhile, back in Sudan, Anton, who has treated a notorious local villain, is undergoing a moral struggle... The film was originally titled "The Revenge" and later renamed "A Better World," winning both the Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Golden Globe Awards and the 83rd Academy Awards.
