Overview

The 38-year-old bodybuilder Dennis would really like to find true love. He has never had a girlfriend and lives alone with his mother in a suburb of Copenhagen. When his uncle marries a girl from Thailand, Dennis decides to try his own luck on a trip to Pattaya, as it seems that love is easier to find in Thailand. He knows that his mother would never accept another woman in his life, so he lies and tells her that he is going to Germany. Dennis has never been out traveling before and the hectic Pattaya is a huge cultural shock for him. The intrusive Thai girls give big bruises to Dennis' naive picture of what love should be like, and he is about to lose hope when he unexpectedly meets the Thai woman Toi.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gently comic and unexpectedly moving portrait of a sheltered, middle-aged man stumbling into the world and toward genuine connection. The film finds both humor and heartbreak in his vulnerability without ever mocking him.
