The award winning reboot of the classic Danish family film.

Visit the movie’s homepage

Erik Lund is a renowned professor in child psychology, who has received great acclaim in the academic world for his liberal theories on child upbringing. When his sister and her husband travel on vacation, he has an opportunity to test his theories in real life. He has volunteered to take care of the children in the family’s decrepit house, but has no idea of what he has let himself in for. The children take advantage of Uncle Erik’s lack of experience, and among other things persuade him to help renovate the house, in the hope that their parents will abandon their intention of selling the property. Erik Lund’s theories are really put to the test.
