Short description
The family of a wealthy businessman gather to celebrate his 60th birthday. During the course of the party, his eldest son presents a speech that reveals a devastating secret that turns the night into a battle of truth and denial.
What's left behind the scenes
- During lunch, the cinematographer found it difficult to adhere to the 'Dogme' rule of using a handheld camera – he was replaced by one of the actors sitting at the table.
- Thomas Winterberg played the role of a taxi driver who gave Gbatoeka, Helen's boyfriend, a ride.
- The film's plot was overheard by Winterberg from a radio listener who was recounting a scandal that had occurred in his family on live radio.
- After the film was released, the radio station arranged a face-to-face meeting between Winterberg and this listener, where he confessed that nothing like that had happened in his family and he had made it all up.
