Father of Four: On Bornholm

1959 · 100 min

A gentle, cheerful holiday comedy where mild mishaps and family bickering pass by easily and harmlessly.

Overview
The popular Danish family are vacationing on the island of Bornholm. Unfortunately, they have not been able to get hotel rooms, but Tiny Per, always resourceful, have come up with the idea that they must sleep in a tent. Father and Uncle Anders are not quite enthusiastic about the idea, but there is nothing else to do.
