Force Majeure

A Swedish family travels to the French Alps to enjoy a few days of skiing and to spend some precious time with each other. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but during a lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche turns everything upside down. With diners fleeing in all directions, Ebba calls for her husband Tomas as she tries to protect their children. Tomas, meanwhile, is running for his life... Panic turns to embarrassed laughter as the disaster they're anticipating doesn't actually occur, but the family is still shaken to its core. Tomas’ unexpected actions leads them to evaluate their roles and assumptions, a question mark hanging over their father in particular. With the end of the holiday approaching, Tomas and Ebba’s marriage hangs in the balance as Tomas struggles desperately to reclaim his role as family patriarch. An observational comedy about men's role in modern family life.
