					| Description | 
  					A dramatisation by David Elridge, based on the play and film by Thomas Vinterberg, Mogens Rukov and Bohr Hansen. 
 An intense depiction of a family that survives on lies, on the surface so sedate, so educated and refined, so Scandinavian, this family is a maelstrom underneath.  |
