Minor mishaps

Annette K. Olesen, Denmark, 2002

105 min.DK/Feature

A matriarch dies and family relations are put to the test. We follow the lives of the four leads - John, the father of the family, who has a serious heart condition but risks his life by sticking to his job as a hospital porter; Tom, his son, who is in the process of losing his wife and children because his career as a building contractor overshadows everything else; Eva, the elder daughter, trying to make her way as an artist but is scared stiff whenever she faces a blank canvas; and Marianne, the younger daughter, who gets a new job running a staff canteen and initiates an affair with a colleague. All four try to find themselves and one another, and all four learn that a family isn't something you choose, but something you're born into.
