About this movie

Fifteen-year-old Matteo has no friends, no direction, and no real connection with his parents. His harsh, hyper-masculine father sends him off for the summer to a mountainside farm in the Swiss Alps to "toughen him up." The farm, it turns out, is more like a boot camp run by sociopaths, but soon Matthew unexpectedly finds himself becoming one of the gang in this winner of the Swiss Film Prize.

Ratings and reviews

Heavy-handed and not particularly original.
