Samuela despairs at struggle to break through as an author. When her boyfriend leaves her, she secretly travels with her brother to the family holiday home on Lanzarote, where she wants to work on her novel. But instead of peace, she finds her father occupying the house.

All volcanoes in Lanzarote are dormant except one—but Aaron Arens’s directorial debut adds another live threat to the sunny island, with an artist family on the fiery brink of eruption. Sonnenplätze is as hilarious as it is heated, with an award-winning script that draws comedy from dysfunction.
