This is a real pearl in the flood of movies that pass our steps - we have a few thousand - unassuming, simple and heart-warning, about an elderly guy (about my age) who takes care of his mother, full-time. Economically, it it is a disaster, but then one day the owner of the house where he, and his mom, is living in, comes and wants the rent, and all the other costs, that are outstanding, unless he takes owner's mom as a border over the weekend, and then lady after lady arrives, till he has a handful of them in the little flat. But he just manages it.
His best friend Viking helps with the shopping, and then the weekend is over, but the ladies refuses to leave, and that's where we leave the scene. A real pearl of a movie, well worth all its prizes! Seldom is a DVD so well done as in the 'Mid-August Lunch': as the first interview with the writer/director/main actor is another pearl (the director talking about the film and its ladies), while the second interview concentrates of his life, and the ladies, slightly more formal, but just as great! The third interview is solely about the ladies, and the other male actor Viking (actually called Vichingo) - equally good, with the director as the interviewer.
Great interviews, great ladies! A truly must-see!
