Ride Upon the Storm(2017)

Ride Upon the Storm is a Danish drama series that follows a family of priests caught in cycles of love, control, and rebellion. Johannes, the patriarch, wields godlike authority over his sons August and Christian, dispensing affection and punishment with equal measure. His transparent favoritism toward August and cold disappointment in Christian push both brothers toward desperate acts—one seeking his approval, the other fighting to escape his shadow. Set against the backdrop of wartime Denmark, the series explores how religious devotion and paternal dominance can fracture families, examining the psychological toll of impossible expectations and the struggle for individual identity within rigid hierarchies.
