How it feels

A bourgeois daughter's observations and dreams show her upbringing, conflicts with her mother and husband, and her failed attempts to join society. The film presents the jump between old conventions and spontaneous feelings from a nervous point of view.

What happens

Ægteskabsprøven er en kortfilm fra 1979 instrueret af Laurie Grundt, Annelise Bock og Per Assentoft. Morsomt eksperiment. En bourgeois-datters iagttagelser, drømme, hendes opdragelse, konflikter med moderen, ægtemand, og sig selv. Hun forsøger forgæves at deltage i samfundet. Synsvinklen er nervernes, og filmen viser det dialektiske spring mellem gamle konventioner og spontane følelser. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
