On the surface Henrik and Nina Christofferson (Sofie Gråbøl) are an ordinary family living happily. But they have a problem. Their daughter, Stine, a difficult 14 year old, has a habit of telling lies in class. When Stine accuses her father of sexual abuse, and is believed by seemingly eager social workers, their family is thrust into crisis. Could Henrik have done it? And when Stine prepares to return home, the ugly side of family life is exposed. (Arrow Films)

English Running into a Scandinavian movie is for me what founding a Bible on the ground is for a religious person. I like the precision with which the psychology of the characters is captured, but also the quality of the acting performances. This movie had all that, which is what I’d expected. What I hadn’t expected though was that this movie would be bereft of emotions. I actually spent an hour and a half watching the problems of a family that I actually didn’t care about at all. That’s not completely alright, is it? ()
