THE ACCIDENT

An ACCIDENT death comes unexpectedly and abruptly to a family that has recently been challenged by the pater familia’s marriage to a younger woman. When he dies suddenly, perhaps in a car accident, it becomes extremely important for her to push forward a delayed plan for a family portrait. How to take a family photo where one of the members is no longer alive, and the rest of the family, apart from the young wife, struggle to hide their opposition to the whole project? It is a grotesque task for the photographer, who routinely does everything possible to create a good atmosphere in the studio for his clients. It takes only one person to disrupt any situation, split family members apart and destroy a family culture. The new young wife is such a person.

This is a new dance movie by Jo Strømgren and Stein Roger Bull, following up “Closed” and the Rose d’Or winning “Neighbour”. Featuring violinist Vilde Frang and callaborating dance company 420PEOPLE (Prague).
