Karsten is given a weekend furlough from prison. In the morning after a party - suffering a strong hangover - a woman comes to visit him letting him know that they have a 12-year-old daughter together named Louise, whose existence he had no idea about. He definitely hadn't counted on being a father. Nonetheless, together with his schizophrenic buddy Peter, he decides to meet his daughter. After spending time together, Louise doesn't want to return to her other father, who beats her, and Karsten doesn't quite like the prospect returning to prison. The three of them find themselves in a car heading out, with the aid of credit cards from a German citizen, for northern Sweden to a girl friend of both men, who went there for work. Their actions attract the attention of the locals, as well as from an ever increasing group of police officers. (Zlín Film Festival)

I like Vinterberg - his sweeping genre magic and pulling the viewer's pink sock of emotion. This story merges all sorts of clichés, but I didn't feel even for a moment like the director lost control of it. This is a sophisticated game, not a wild ride into the unknown. A road movie grown from the roots of social drama and sensitively diluted with lots of pleasant genre admixtures. And, of course, guided by the captain's steady hand and his crew, traditionally deviated in every possible way.
