The Corkscrew is a visually powerful coming-of-age story set in a winter landscape, in the iconic toboggan run "Korketrekkeren". 12-year-old Lucas finds himself in a moral trilemma: He risks losing his friendship, betraying an adult he trusts, or revealing family secrets he has long tried to keep hidden. Whichever choice he makes, it will have major consequences.
