10th Annual Brisbane Queer Film Festival
Brisbane Powerhouse and Volkswagen Present
Patrik 1.5
Thu 9 Apr 09
Drama
A witty and perceptive comic drama about a gay couple's attempt to adopt a baby with surprising results.
Göran and Sven are a happily married couple. Living in the picturesque suburbs of Sweden, they just need one last thing to make their domestic bliss complete - a baby.
When the prospect of adoption looks unlikely, they almost give up hope, until they receive an unexpected letter announcing they are to be given a child. Unfortunately for Göran and Sven, a typo means the one and a half year old baby they are expecting turns out to be a 15-year-old homophobic tearaway named Patrik.
Full of witty perceptions on suburban life, Director Ella Lemhagen handles the material with an immaculate eye for detail and a sly visual humour, resulting in a discerning and thought-provoking experience.
