The Nicest Men on Earth

The Nicest Men on Earth is a tender group portrait of the sensitive men who find themselves disoriented by a loss of status and wavering self-esteem. Through three generations of men—the lovesick high schooler, the unemployed, humanities-educated father, and the struggling architect—all based in Denmark's second-largest city, the film tells a story of not being the best, of losing both at home and in the wider world, and of feeling stuck while everyone else rushes ahead. A humorous reflection on the new gender reality and our ingrained ideas about what it means to be a "real man".
