International sales and distribution outfit LevelK has acquired world sales rights for first time feature director Rasmus Kloster Bro’s Danish survival drama Cutterhead ahead of Cannes Film Market. 

A young female PR-coordinator is visiting the Copenhagen Metro construction to portray the European cooperation when an accident occurs. Unable to escape, she takes refuge in an airlock with a Croatian miner, and a worker from Eritrea. Despite radically different world-views, they must put their lives and bodies in each other's hands to survive.

“I want it to be a very physical experience. Watching the film should feel like being eaten by the underground.” - Director Rasmus Kloster Bro
