On the Danish island of Bornholm, two families spend their traditional short vacation together. The campers park at a prime beach location and pitch tent for the three boys – so far, so good. But an incident with the children upsets the idyll: What begins as an immature quarrel gradually develops into a full-blown fight. Soon the pitfalls of raising children, midlife crises and marital problems are ruthlessly exposed – and the originally relaxing vacation turns into a purifying purgatory. Director Anna Kazejak allows bourgeois family ideals to collide with formal sovereignty in her comedy drama FUCKING BORNHOLM. [Pressetext]
