Storyline

"Between us" is a modern day lovedrama which takes place during one night, in one apartment with four people. The young writer Adam invites his beloved girlfriend, his succesful bigbrother and his brother's beautiful wife for dinner. They're having a good time. But there's a special occasion for the invitation. Adam has a suspicion that his closest family are keeping a secret. To reveal it, he has prepared a special plan for the night; - a sexy and highly untraditional 'rescue plan', which fails to such an extreme that all four of them are forced into the most revealing, absurd and heartbreaking situations...

User Reviews

Have to say...

Just watched this on DR2 and I know it won several prizes on international film festivals - but this I have to say..

The storyline is cute, the idea is nice, but why do they have to overact so severely. All leading characters apart from Helle Fagralid - whom I by the way have never seen THIS seductive, I think I'm in love, honestly! - are totally impossible to believe it because of the theather-like way of speaking. This is film, not theater. The overacting is unfortunately totally killing off this otherwise nice little flick..

Because of the over acting: 4/10 - otherwise it would probably have been a 6 or 7
