CGiii Comment
Expectations run high - since Bier is a woman who has made some damn fine films.
Alas, 'fine' is not a word than could possibly be associated with this catastrophic disaster...
Pierce Brosnan's character does not speak Danish - he speaks English, but...everyone talks to him in Danish...totally bizarre. The constant language change will have your head spinning...
The acting (without except) is horrific...as are the majority of characters. The gay subplot is vacuous, unoriginal and predictable.
Quite easily the worst thing that Bier has made to date.

The(ir) Blurb...
A Danish woman, Ida, who has just finished her cancer treatments, walks in on her suffering husband in bed with his young co-worker. She travels alone to their daughter's wedding, which is to take place in Italy, but meets the father of the groom, Philip, and immediately makes a bad first impression. At the seaside villa where Philip once lived with his wife, conflicts arise not least between the soon-to-be newlyweds. But first impressions fade, and Ida may find her chance for another life.
