Virgin Mountain. 2015.

A soft drama from Scandinavia about a over weight 40s something guy still living at home, collects small models and work as a baggage handler at the airport. He starts going line dancing and realises life can throw challenges at him.

Gunnar Jonsson plays Fusi is quite a likeable character facing perils in life that everyone faces and at times you can feel sympathy for him when things look up for him his dreams are shattered then picks himself up and things go down. The pace is slow but that goes with the tone of the film especially at the start then it can go fast then slow. There is some points where it can go in one direction then switches to the other even though right at the end you can help but smile with the character. May not be for everyone but certainly worth a glance if you don't mind subtitles.
