"Olmo Omerzu's intriguing second feature FAMILY FILM is a dry, droll, unexpectedly dog-driven dissection of a domestic crisis." (Variety) The drama FAMILY FILM by Olmo Omerzu starts with the dream of every teenager: rich parents go sailing around the world and leave them alone at home. Anna and Erik, who seem so friendly and reasonable, invent obscure tests of courage against boredom. Their parents only see them on Skype from time to time. But then contact with them breaks off and the ship sinks in a storm. "Boasting exquisite camera work, the film is also unforgettable for its wholly original ending." (Tokyo International Film Festival)
