Family Film (2015) - full transcript

A couple embark on an early vacation. Left alone, their children cut loose until the boy gets caught for skipping school and things take an unexpected turn. Boasting exquisite camera work, the film is also unforgettable for its wholly original ending.

And the battle is over.

The winner has earned
a well-deserved rest

and the loser leaves in disgrace.

He'll have to start a family
in some other part of the pond.

Peace reigns once again
beneath the surface.

Did you take Otto
to get vaccinated?

God, I completely forgot.

I'll take care of it tomorrow.

There are six times
as many males as females.

If she doesn't stop them,
she may drowned

under the weight
of so many “suitors.”

What are you doing in there?

Knock it off right now!

Are you out of your minds?

It'll be okay, Otto,
don't worry, it'll be okay.

Have a good voyage, Otto.

You too, Mr. Kubin.

Bye now.
- Goodbye.

I put some money on your account
but please try not to spend too much.

Erik, if you need anything
Just tell Anna.

Here are your tickets and passports,
and there's a credit card too.

If you run into trouble
Just call Martin.

We can skype each other.

When I was your age I never dreamed
my parents would take off somewhere.



Understand?
- Yeah.

-Have fun, but...
But what?

Everything in moderation.
- Sure, I'll be reasonable.

You're my clever one,
aren't you?

Are you going to miss him?

Whom?
Otto.

Don't worry, it'll be okay.

Take care, Otto.

We'll call as soon as we get there.
We'll be fine, mom.

-Bye. -Bye.
We'll see you at Christmas.

Bye. Look after yourselves.
Sure.

Bye.
Bye.

- Hi.
- Hi, Anna.

Hi, kid... So let's go.

- Where should I put the bags?
- Mom and dad's room.

Want anything to drink?
- Uh, maybe...

What's wrong?
- Nothing.

What?

You okay, bro?

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hungry? Want some spaghetti?
Sure.

- How often do you do it?
- Today was the first time.

“What if someone's waiting downstairs?
- Don't know...

That's just it: we don't know.
That's the point of the game.

You play strange games.

What's strange about it? Everyone does it.
Nobody wants to be bored.

- What do you do when you're bored?
- It depends.

- Do you watch movies?
- Yeah.

Surf the internet?
Watch soccer? Beat off?

- Right?
- Everyone does. -Exactly.

It's totally predictable
and totally boring.

Like we try to drive away the boredom
by being more and more boring.

Hey, where're you going?

Mommy's calling.
- Right, and he goes running.

Hey, it's your turn!

Time to strip!

Get back here!
- Where's Anna?

Watching a movie with Kristina.
- Uh-huh.

We're about to sail
to Christmas Island.

We're going to see
the crab migration.

When they reproduce there's
supposed to be millions of them.

- Is it the kids?
- Yeah. Otto says hi.

Hey, Erik, how's it going?

- Catch anything?
- Nope, no luck.

So, it's spaghetti?

Spaghetti again
because I still haven't caught a fish.
