The very normal life of the Van End family swiftly changes thanks to the arrival of a German exchange student, who seems the perfect guy in every respect. From that day on, all members of the family get caught off balance: how could they ever have lived with all their imperfections? Mother Etty is stressed out, father Evert is a sweet guy but a weakling who can’t cope with his wife, while their three children – two teenagers and a young adult – suddenly see how far they have become removed from their ideals. They have only two weeks to reinvent themselves and their relationships. With all that this entails. This tragicomic debut is semi-autobiographical – although very exaggerated. In its setting, soundtrack and absurdism, the story of the power and imperfections of family bonds is reminiscent of the films of Wes Anderson, but also of the equally crazy yet pitch-black works of Todd Solondz.
