Svend got 16 children.
Svend has 16 children. The four youngest is also Gittes children, from whom, Svend is getting a divorce after 28 years of turbulent marriage. At the same time, the youngest daughter, Christina, has decided to move away from home. But the family breakup opens up a number of questions especially for Christina, who finds out that her family suffers from collective memory loss. This applies particularly to the forced removal of Christina and her siblings, which they feel has been completely unjust/unfair.
While Christina starts searching for the truth about her family, Svend decides to help her daughter and his own memory on the way. (Kan man sige help someone on her way?). He applies at the municipality for (aktindsigt?) acces to the familys official documents, and one day he receives a box filled with secrets that has been forgotten and repressed through years of booze and drugs.
Blodets Bånd/Ties of Blood is a film about failure (svigt?), lies, and about a familys collective repressions. But it is also a film about love that conquers all. A film by the director of Testamentet, Christian Sønderby Jepsen, and the debutante Pernille Bervald Jørgensen.
