A Swedish family is on a ski holiday in the French Alps when a controlled avalanche suddenly seems to turn real — sending the father (Johannes Bah Kuhnke) fleeing for his own safety while his wife (Lisa Loven Kongsli) shields their children. The avalanche passes, but the damage to the marriage has only just begun. Ruben Östlund's wickedly funny and psychologically precise comedy of masculine failure dissects the gap between who we think we are and how we actually behave under pressure — one of the most original and acclaimed European films of the decade.
