Denmark
Sweet film about a 38 yo massive professional bodybuilder who is painfully shy and gentle, held in tight rein by a domineering mother and aches for love. In desperation he goes to Thailand, meets a lovely widow and brings her to Denmark...perhaps to start a new life together.
The film was above all a character study which explored the contrast between this man's imposing size and power and his relative helplessness in the face of a willful mother and the harsh demands of modern dating. He is enormously sympathetic as he lumbers his way through life searching for what he needs but remains so deferential to everyone he meets that he can't find it.
The film was quiet, sensitive and quite moving.
