Dennis lives in a suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is a 38-year-old bodybuilder who lives
with his controlling mother, Ingrid.
His uncle marries a woman from Thailand and Dennis decides there may be a chance to find true love for himself.
He talks to his uncle to get information and makes a trip to
Pattaya. He tells his mother
he is going to a competition in Germany.
His mother is so mad over him being away that she won’t answer his
calls. Unfortunately, the place
where his uncle was introduced to his wife is a very sleazy bar. Nothing seems to be working out until
he meets people at a gym where he goes to workout.
This is a very different film.
Both Dennis and his mother are codependent on each other. Even though Dennis is a very large and
muscled man at 308 pounds, his mental age and experience level is much younger
than 38. It will take a lot of
courage for him to strike out on his own path. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
