The Art of Crying

107 minutes • 2006 • 7.3

Life is not easy for 11-year-old Allan who has to assume responsibility for keeping his family together in the presence of a difficult and tyrannical father. His mother has given up, his sister has resigned and his older brother has moved to Sønderborg. The young boy feels that everything rests on him. The father's only positive contribution is his talent for language, which he uses for writing eulogies. But there are just not enought funerals to keep the father's spirit up. Not withholding normal behaviour and morals, the boy must do what he can to contribute.
