Synopsis

In Danish smalltown Skjern in the 80s, two very different lives intersected and together they had a daughter, Nicoline. Kim, the down-to-earth North Jutlander with a passion for angling and local football, met Annette, the restless soul from Zealand, who rolled through town in tight jeans on roller skates. After 10 years of marriage, the family splintered under the weight of disappointments, lack of closeness and abandonment. Nicoline grew up in the classically troubled reality of the child of divorce, with half-hearted relationships, forgotten appointments and rare, awkward family celebrations. The past cannot be undone, but its influence on the present can. Nicoline wants to confront the monsters of her childhood and find answers to the many questions that still hang over her. With a strong will and indomitable optimism, she invites her parents to a meeting on neutral ground. For the first time since their break-up in 1997, the three of them will talk honestly. On film. Fantastic Family is a personal and universal story of divorce, betrayal and the longing for reconciliation. It is the story of how a child - now an adult - tries to pick up the pieces of her family history and create a new understanding of what it means to belong together, despite everything.
