Pearls and Swine

About This Movie

So, 'Pearls and Swine' is this quirky 1997 comedy that's got a bit of a loose, offbeat charm. You’ve got Lisa, keen on a cruise, while her husband Finnbogi dives into a rather ill-fated bakery venture. The interplay between them and Karolina is where it gets juicy; she's got skills and some serious family drama with her daughter Marta, who’s running the biggest bakery in the area. The pacing is a bit uneven but it kind of adds to this whimsical vibe. It’s not polished, but that’s part of its charm. Performances feel genuine, and you can see this underlying theme of family loyalty against ambition. Just a fun, odd little film you don’t see every day.

Features a mix of family dynamics and comedy. · Highlights the baking culture and family ties. · Distinctive performances make it feel very relatable.
