A five-day skiing holiday in the French Alps for a couple and their two children is interrupted when they witness an avalanche from the apparent safety of a restaurant terrace.
And so begins this week's Open Film Society delivery, the Swedish made Force Majeure, which shows on Wednesday evening (Dec 2).
The family come to no physical harm, but the father's reaction brings their family to a point of crisis.
Progressively they establish deeper understandings of each other's characters until they are tested anew in a much more threatening situation...
Force Majeure shows in the OU Hub Theatre on the Walton Hall Campus, from 6.30pm.
