Aberdeen (2000)

In the heart of London's bustling legal scene thrives Kaisa, a Scottish lawyer marked by a whirlwind life of cocaine binges and fleeting encounters with strangers. Just as she’s caught in this cycle, a desperate call from her mother in Aberdeen, Scotland, interrupts her life. She's implored to embark on a journey to Norway to retrieve her estranged, alcoholic father, a man she's spent years trying to forget. Yet, this is not a mere reunion; it's a mother's dying wish to see her family stitched back together. Kaisa, though reluctant, yields to her mother's plea. However, the journey home is far from simple. Her father's chronic inebriation and Kaisa's fiery temper land them in a predicament, barred from the airlines and forced to navigate their way home via ferry and car. As they meander through this challenging expedition, they find an unexpected ally in Clive, a kindly lorry driver, who offers a helping hand in their desperate race against time. Aberdeen is a story of desperate reunions, frustrating obstacles, and an unusual road trip. Will they make it to Aberdeen before the inevitable, and can Kaisa find the stability she's been avoiding in herself and in the broken relationship with her father? This is a tale of redemption, forgiveness, and the complex bonds of family, told against the backdrop of a journey that might just change two lives forever.

Aberdeen is a comedy movie featuring Stellan Skarsgård.
