Storyline

Wealthy Swedes lose their dignity. Due to a trivial 'state of emergency' a Swedish family on a skiing holiday comes into contact with human mechanisms they had never needed to confront before. They are now forced to ascribe to themselves impulses and instincts they had learnt to despise and ignore. The film will have the most spectacular avalanche scene in film history.
