Synopsis

A glimpse of the wealth that a family once possessed, but now there is nothing left. Fifty-six-year-old Anne Mette and her mother were forced to trade their villa in Portugal for a small apartment, where they now live on a small pension. Despite all of this, Anne Mette does not quite grasp that the days of servants, beachfront property and lounging about by the pool are gone for good. She still acts like a spoiled little princess, once adored by her filthy-rich father. Her mother gets the blame for their current living situation, but she is also the only other person Anne Mette can watch the old home movies with and dream about the good old days.
