In this, the third installment in Per Fly's trilogy, again the familiar conservative themes of the primacy of family, and a moral imperative not to shirk responsibilities, yet not to harm others, come to the fore. In a scene reminiscent of shock-jock Jack in Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King inciting a listener to murder, Carsten possibly instigates Pil's violent actions resulting in the murder of a policeman, the arrest of his young activist lover, the end of his marriage, and the start of some predictable but still interesting relationship developments and deepening moral questions. This reviewer did not find it drawn out, rather, the pace was about right.
