Set in Copenhagen and Southern Italy, and mixing Danish, English and a sprinkling of Italian language, the film opens with attractive middle-aged hairdresser Ida (Trine Dyrholm) getting an update on her breast cancer status after finishing chemo. With a good wig to match her attitude, she prepares to fly to Sorrento for the wedding of daughter Astrid (Molly Blixt Egelind) to Patrick (Sebastian Jessen), following a whirlwind three-month courtship. But Ida hits a speed bump when she comes home to find her self-centered husband Leif (Kim Bodnia) humping Tilde (Christiane Schaumberg-Mueller), the hot young accountant from his office that he apparently intends to marry.
Taking all this on board with surprising composure, Ida keeps it together until she rear-ends Philip (Brosnan) in the airport car park. She learns that the furious stranger is Patrick’s widowed father, getting their interaction off to a stiff start. Candid and direct, she makes no secret of her distaste for his brusque manner and terse phone exchanges with employees at his produce import business.
