大女当嫁优酷

Try as he might, the roguishly handsome Cliff Starkey, just can't keep out of trouble. In his sleepy home town on the English coast, nothing much inspires him...apart from bowls. Cliff has always preferred to play by his own rules much to the disapproval of the regimented, elderly bowls fraternity. Before long, the bay boy of bowls is turning the sedate and very English pastime...。圣诞佳节，Susanna和Helena与家族聚首一堂；一家大细欢聚同时，拗撬磨擦、生疏和尴尬总少不免。外公一如以往烂醉如泥，阿婆苦心打点一切，身为人母的两姊妹为鸡毛蒜皮争吵一番，而孙仔孙女只觉无聊闷透。聚会之后，各自回到日常生活，下年再见。电影几乎全片以定镜拍摄，剪接利落，冷眼旁观平淡写实日常。透过空间和沉默，展现同一屋檐下的疏离，不时流露隐晦幽默，却又带点点刺痛。导演Tia Kouvo以同名毕业作品拍成首部长片，在芬兰尤西奖获11项提名。枯燥日常，撕裂隔阂早已习以为常，但只能如此吗？。
