Swinger

2016 · 96 min

A wry, uncomfortable comedy of midlife restlessness, where polite Danish decorum collides with messy desire and quiet desperation.

Directed by
Mikkel Munch-Fals
Genres
Romance, Comedy
Starring
Martin Buch, Mille Dinesen, Rasmus Botoft
Overview
Munch-Fals’ script follows Adam, who has so far been spoiled by life – a good job, a lovely wife, an expensive villa, an independent son – but still it isn’t good enough. Even the swinger weekend trips he has been taking with his wife have become a joyless routine, and his youthful optimism and appetite for life are distant memories. Then, one day, at another swingers’ club, he does what swingers don’t do – he falls in love.
