Fucking Bornholm is an image of the generation of today's 40-year-olds, a contemporary comedy/drama that touches on the subject of identity at a time when the patterns known to us have ceased to matter.

A group of friends and their children go on a traditional long weekend trip, which they have been taking for years on the Danish island of Bornholm. An incident between the children will trigger a wave of crisis in their relationships. Each couple seems happy, but is it really so?

"I believe that there is a good chance of telling a universal, moving story about peoples’ struggle with their own nature, wrestling with convention, and about the responsibility for children and one's ‘other half’. The tone of the film is extremely important: light and funny at times. We want to place this story in the convention of a drama/comedy, not heavy drama," director Anna Kazejak, who penned the script together with Filip K. Kasperaszek, told FNE.

The main characters are played by Agnieszka Grochowska, Maciej Stuhr, Jaśmina Polak and Grzegorz Damięcki. Magnus Krepper will make a guest appearance. 

The film is produced by Marta Lewandowska through Friends with Benefits in coproduction with TVN and Empik Go. The budget of approximately 819,000 EUR / 3.7 m PLN is partially covered by production funding of approximately 444,000 EUR / 2 m PLN from the Polish Film Institute.

The film was shot in Mielno, in the Pomerania region, with the shoot wrapping on 14 June 2021.

NEXT FILM will release the film in Poland in 2022.
