Story
Camping follows the story of a dysfunctional family struggling with grief after the patriarch committed suicide two years ago. The mother, Bodil, has taken to drinking heavily and lives vicariously through her past participation in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1982. The eldest daughter, Connie Nielsen, is emotionally detached and hasn't been herself since her father's death on his birthday. Her younger brother, Christian, has turned into an overweight bully as a coping mechanism. The family hasn't gone on their annual caravan trip to the Danish island Langeland together since then - until now.
