After serving fourteen years for robbery, Anker is released from prison and reunites with his mentally ill brother Manfred, who alone knows where the stolen money is hidden but has forgotten its location, sending them on a journey to recover the loot and confront who they are.

Vildare is a short film about a chaotic drinking game invented by a group of young men. The rules are simple: before rolling a shared die, each player sets themselves a challenge—if they roll a six, they must complete it. As the game unfolds, the dares grow increasingly unpredictable, revealing the group’s shifting dynamics and the blurred line between play, pressure, and control.
