Forced Vacation

2025 · 100 min

A breezy, feel-good culture-clash comedy where silly misunderstandings and big personalities turn a shared holiday into warm, chaotic fun.

Overview
Following a booking error, two families who are complete opposites, as well as a somewhat snobbish publisher and the influencer he wants to publish, are forced to share a sublime vacation home. The culture clash is immediate, between incompatible habits and strong personalities. Yet, despite the tensions and misunderstandings, this forced vacation takes an unexpected turn and turns out to be an adventure full of surprises and laughter.
