Jakob lives with his unstable mother. She constantly explodes into wild rages and Jakob does what he can to protect his baby brother Tomas. By assuming the role of his evil twin Bokaj, he is able to vent his suppressed emotions. This role playing begins as an innocent game, but after a while, he grows increasingly unable to distinguish between game-playing and real life.
Directed by Gaute Hesthagen, Bokaj leans on a strong ensemble — Gisken Armand, Jo Even Stene Bjørke, Olavus Frostad Udbye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2006.
