Arvid (12) and his father are spending the summer holidays in Nordfjordbotn, a small and remote place in Northern Norway. This is where his dad always went camping when he was a kid.
Arvid: so what do you do when your super hetro-sexual and newly divorced dad out of nowhere starts flirting with a man?
And then, as if that isn`t enough, his daughter is wooing you and the dog is in heath.
Finally, your best friend arrives, only to complicated it all.
Who do I actually have feelings for?
"That summer my dad went gay" is a powerful drama-comedy about puberty and identity for the whole family.
The film is based on a book by Endre Lund Eriksen. The story was made into a theatre play by Hålogaland teater, and was awarded (Heddaprisen) “Best children and youth play”.
