Official Synopsis

It's vacation time, but the Andersen family can't figure out where to go. Reaching agreement is not exactly the easiest for the family. Everyone has his own plans how he would like to spend the holidays. Now it's just that Sune is also hot-burned at newly-relocated neighbor Sophie (Stephanie León), so he doesn't have it easy. While trying to impress her, he is chased by a vicious motorcycle thug and is constantly on the run.
