Mændenes Forbund

1981

A gentle, sunny comedy of marital standoff, played for warmth and light absurdity rather than bite.

Overview
A cheerful tale of what can happen when the two sexes try to achieve balance through millimeter democracy, including when it comes to love and cohabitation. After throwing rolling pins and other objects at their husbands, the women have left their husbands behind in the city and are spending sunny and fun days at a camp, while their husbands take over the boring daily chores. The men send a brave negotiator, who approaches the camp with a white flag raised above his head.
