What is Force Majeure about?

While holidaying in the French Alps, a Swedish family deals with acts of cowardliness as an avalanche breaks out.

Force Majeure is a 2014 black comedy film written and directed by Ruben Östlund. It follows the marital tension resulting from an apparent avalanche in the French Alps, during which the husband prioritizes his escape over the safety of his wife and two children. The title Force Majeure used for the film in some English-speaking countries comes from force majeure, a contractual clause freeing both parties from liability in the event of unexpected disasters.
