User Reviews

Sweet but not much more

A French amateur historian goes to Sweden with his 17-year-old daughter. He seeks for a viking treasure. She is a polite and obedient daughter, who hasn't had much contacts with boys.

Here she has some, which the father doesn't like. The movie is only about 80 minutes long, and therefore there are quite many threads which aren't followed up. Some of the supporting characters don't seem necessary at all. The script isn't really finished. Or has there been cuttings by some decision maker? Anyway, a sweet movie about rather common lives.

One could have got much more out of this theme
