In this charming, often hilarious documentary, Swedish TV celebrity, Filip Hammar, takes his 80-year-old father, Lars, on a vacation to the south of France; the idea is to rekindle Lars’ former spark, which has faded since he retired as a French teacher. Lars has become steadily more depressed and frail. They go on a road-trip, in a knackered old Renault 4, the same car the family had when Filip was a kid, joined by Hammar’s best mate Fredrik Wikingsson, another TV presenter. And, as you’d expect from a documentary this heart-warming, Hammar has a lesson or two to learn himself.
