World renowned filmmaker Susanne Bier ("After the Wedding," "Things We Lost in the Fire") struck comic gold with this knockabout family farce and road movie rolled into one. After his adoptive mother croaks, chef extraordinaire Jan (Philip Zandén) and his nutcase biological mom (Ghita Nørby) take a cross-country cab ride to Portugal (fare be damned!) to reunite with Jan's long-lost, über-eccentric dad, played by European theater legend Ernst-Hugo Järegård.
