An intimate comedy-drama about friendship, couple relationships, parenthood and the onset of a midlife crisis: On the Danish island of Bornholm, two families spend their traditional May-weekend together. At a prime beach location, the campers are parked and a tent is pitched for the three boys. But a delicate incident between the children upsets the idyll: what begins as an immature quarrel gradually develops into a full-blown fight between the parents. Soon the fragile relationships of the friendly couples are put to the test. Child rearing, midlife crisis and marital problems disturb the campfire peace.

FUCKING BORNHOLM was created after an audio book that deals with the topic of identity in a time when the patterns we know for living together hardly play a role any more.
