Skeletons tumble out of the family closet once Jan, a chef and restaurateur, is told that he was only the adopted son of his recently deceased mother. He sets out to find his real mother, who has become an eccentric recluse living in some glorious past. Nevertheless, she takes Jan on a precipitate taxi-ride to Portugal, where his identity crisis is replaced by oddball existential turmoil.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
