Summer with the Family

2017 · 7 seasons

A breezy, gently cringe-inducing holiday comedy where family friction simmers under a sunny archipelago idyll.

Overview: Jens and wife Åsa pack up the family to spend the summer in the archipelago. The idyll, however, does not appear when it comes out that the in-laws do not intend to leave the cottage to Jens and Åsa, but plan to spend the whole summer there with them.
How it feels: Light, warm, absurd and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, class, identity, parenthood
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
