Something new from dansih writer and actor Christian Tafdrup (and his brother).
A very interesting, informative and unnerving movie indeed.
It perfectly shows the utter weakness of modern western Europeans in general, Scandinavians in specific.
In short, not to give awah to many spoilers, it's about a liberal Danish family from the upper middle calls, where the mother is the stereotypical domineering, illogical, unwise and somewhat childish working mom.
The father is the typical modern effeminate, emasculated, weak, confused and immature male, whom is an utter pushover.
The daughter is an irritating and untutored / poorly raised brat, although that might be a little hard / over the top description.
On a summer vacation to Italy they meet a Dutch family with a son around the same age as Agnes, the daughter of the Danish family.
During their vacation the spend a lot of time with the Dutch family and some time after they get back home the get a post card from the Dutch family, whom invited them to visit, something they agrees to do - and that's when things get interesting indeed.
The film perfectly illustrates the consequences of having poor situational awareness, having trouble standing up for ones own personal moral and ethical principles and opinions.
To me this movie is a lot deeper than meets the eye, so to speak, and I think it is sort of an allegory on both modern (debased) western culture, family values (or the lack thereof) and the unnatural roles of the sexes in the average western families and how this will play into the dire straits of the western world during times of immense amounts of migration from very foreign cultures, how this might influence Europe and what the future very might look like and in a not so far future.
I highly recommend that you watch this movie and preferably with people whom are politically correct.
Don't read to much about the movie and avoid the trailers and you think about the deeper meanings and talk it over after watching in.
