What We Did On Our Holiday, the new feature film from BBC Films, will be screened at Film-Messe Köln (Cologne Film Fair) next month. The bittersweet comedy starring David Tennant, Rosamund Pike and Billy Connolly will be displayed by German film distributors Tobis.
Film-Messe Köln (5th - 7th August at Cinedom Köln) is a trade show where major German distributors exhibit trailers and exclusive material from their catalogues and have the opportunity to screen whole films to potential buyers from cinema chains. What We Did On Our Holiday will be screened on Thursday 7th August by Tobis, who picked up the rights to distribute the movie in German speaking Europe at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
Ein Schotte macht noch keinen Sommer
Inhalt:
Zusammen mit ihren drei quirligen Kids fahren Doug und Abi
in die schottischen Highlands, um den Geburtstag von Dougs Vater Gordy zu
feiern. Das Problem dabei: Doug und Abi leben seit einer Weile getrennt, haben
es aber bislang nicht fertig gebracht, den Rest des Clans darüber zu informieren.
Um allen den großen Tag nicht zu verderben, wollen sie sich deshalb noch einmal
als heile Familie präsentieren, machen dabei aber die Rechnung ohne ihre drei
redseligen Sprösslinge - und ohne den Scharfsinn des eigenwilligen Großvaters,
der nicht im Traum daran denkt, sich an irgendwelche Regeln zu halten ... Das
gemeinsame Kinodebüt der britischen Comedy-Spezialisten Andy Hamilton und Guy
Jenkin (Outnumbered) ist eine temporeiche und nie vorhersehbare Komödie mit
jeder Menge rabenschwarzem britischen Humor, leichthändig inszeniert und
zugleich auch sehr feinfühlig und bewegend.
Regie: Andy Hamilton & Guy Jenkin
Darsteller: David Tennant, Rosamund Pike und Billy Connolly
What We Did On Our Holiday
(One Scot does not make a summer)
Summary
Together with their three lively kids Doug and Abi travel to
the Scottish Highlands to celebrate the birthday of Doug's father, Gordy. The
problem is that Doug and Abi have been living separately for a while, but have
not yet managed to inform the rest of the clan about it. In order not to spoil the
big day, they want to present themselves as a complete family, but they
reckoned without their three loquacious offspring - and nor did they take into
account their idiosyncratic grandfather, who lives in a dream world, and does not
abide by any rules... The feature film debut of British comedy writing team Andy
Hamilton and Guy Jenkin (Outnumbered) is a fast-paced and never predictable
comedy with lots of black British humour, lightly directed and at the
same time very sensitive and moving.
Directed by: Andy Hamilton & Guy Jenkin
Starring: David Tennant, Rosamund Pike and Billy Connolly
