Clumsy Little Acts of Tenderness

A weekend dad wants to show his teenage daughter his love by taking her to a car wash, but instead of the car wash, they end up on a life-changing adventure at the supermarket, at the endless sanitary napkin display. They get "help" from an older lady who shares stories that might be just a bit too intimate. CLUMSY LITTLE ACT OF TENDERNESS played at Oberhausen and Nordisk Panorama and received the Youth Jury Prize at the Tampere Film Festival.
