Synopsis

Synopsis


An absurd deadpan comedy, full of understated humour and irony about Moe and Pa, two brothers in their mid seventies. Except for Pa’s moped-trip to Sweden – which they never mention – the two have lived under the same roof all their life. The routine of their quiet existence is suddenly threatened when Konrad, Pa’s adult son from the Swedish adventure, comes to stay with them for a while.

Press

"Bent Hamer has created a warm-hearted, albeit offbeat, comedy gem in EGGS, his first featue film. "
