Synopsis: Two families who have known each other for years spend the long May weekend camping together as usual on the idyllic Danish island of Bornholm. However, the complex situation created by their children sets off a chain of events which turn what was originally to have been a promising, relaxing holiday into something akin to purgatory. The cracks in the happy facade are growing and start revealing what is hidden underneath.

​

An edgy comedy drama that reminds us of both Norén and Östlund, but with a fierce female perspective.

 

“Skirts sitcom-esque cliché in its portrayal of characters masking deeper rage with happy-families politesse, but more often it cuts impressively close to the bone…” - Variety
 
“Kazejak’s film is a wickedly funny dark comedy not afraid to ruffle some feathers” - RogerEbert

​

“[Distinguishes] itself from predecessors in the particular, perennially popular relationships-on-the-rocks sub-genre via its confident stylistic approach.” - Screen International

​

“a balanced mix of psychological drama and (very) bitter comedy, arousing our curiosity” - Cineuropa
