Behind unassuming title of "One Family" represents an impressive and profound masterpiece of humanity and being human. "A family" could also unimpressive called "Life." Or the perceived richness of the film according "Life". The Danish Pernille Fischer Christensen is with this wonderful film continues as an international newcomer of the tradition as down to earth as life-smart movie.
A Danish family celebrates the return of the Patriarch Rikard Rheinwald (Jesper Christensen) after successful chemotherapy. Good luck and smiling faces We -. with the camera the middle of it - feel right for a very close Rikard announced that he will marry his second companion, who stood during the illness at his side, But in the midst of beautiful, boisterous wedding party throws him a fraud.. The diagnosis is brutal to the ground. A tumor in the head is not operable, the imminent death is inevitable.. Severe changes in personality and life can be expected.
The great personality Rikard Rheinwald will not be defeated. Determined, he flees the hospital and invites his favorite daughter Ditte (Lene Maria Christensen), the oldest, in his large bread factory.

Although Pernille Fischer Christensen no loud sounds, so works almost entirely without music (Sebastian Öberg) and above all without conventional (Hollywood) kitsch. "A family is no melodrama, yet painfully beautiful to the last breath deeply touching
