CGiii Comment

This is a marathon - exhausting and draining.

Although made in 1995, it looks as if it was filmed in the 70s - oooh it might be a period piece - lots of blue eye shadow.

Whenever it was filmed, it does not detract from the fact that it is crap.

A family man and his mid-life crisis - he's a homo.

This sudden realisation is played out with comedic ineptitude and dreary scenarios.

This script would kill an ox stone dead and the direction was obviously ripped from the back of a cornflakes box.

What is it with women and gay men?!?

Horrid.

The(ir) Blurb...

The Runeberg family is an ordinary middle class family, with a house in a suburb, a car and three children. By vacationing in a rented house by the sea, the hope is that the tension and anxiety between Rune and Gunnel will disappear. However, instead of spending time with his family, Rune finds himself attracted to a young man, Petrus. Whatever happens next, Rune realizes, it will be like it never was before.
