A once happy family of three is at the breaking point. The failure to face the grief caused by sickness has led them to live isolated from one another. Thomas, a desperate teenager, attempts to salvage his grief-stricken family, just as it seems to be falling apart, by releasing the tension in an ridiculous manner. Based on the real life experiences of director Tore Hynnekleiv, "In This Family" describes a family that finds hope in the absurd.
