Excellent movie about a guy who gives his father at the beginning of his 60th birthday party the choice between 2 speeches. The speech he chooses is "the speech of the truth" and is called "When my father takes a bath..". Of course everybody starts laughing except for the father. He doesn't know what he has to expect. In his speech the son reveals something that has been a secret for years. He tells everybody about how he and his sisters were sexually abused by their father for years.
What follows is an excellent and also very realistic view on how people would react when they are confronted with such a situation at a party. The movie, as well as the cast are from Denmark. Although there are no big names related to this movie, the acting is outstanding. Sometimes it really looks like the movie is shot with a regular family cam recorder, what makes it even more realistic. The story and the characters are brilliantly written. This movie certainly deserved an Academy Award Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
I'm not going to tell you how the movie ends because it would definitely ruin the surprise, but I couldn't imagine a better end for this movie. I can only advise everyone to see this movie, he's definitely worth it! 9/10
