Family Time

Synopsis

It’s Christmas time and the family is gathered once again. Middle-aged sisters Susanna and Helena visit their childhood home with their families. As usual, Grandpa Lasse drinks too much and Grandma Ella worries about everyone. The grandchildren are bored, and the sisters slip back into their old dynamic. After Christmas, everyone returns to their everyday lives. Tia Kouvo’s sharp, humorous debut explores a question we can all relate to: How do we continue searching for deeper understanding between people, even when we don’t always succeed?
