Archipelago (2014)
A mother and her two adult children arrive at a country cottage ahead of the father for a two-week family holiday that is to serve as a send-off for the son, who is heading off to volunteer in Africa for a year. There's a hired cook and a hired art teacher (I think??) who are around quite a bit.
The family sits around moodily or eats moodily or goes on moody outings and gets more and more annoyed that the patriarch isn't showing up. Can't say I blame him, though. His family is the worst. And this movie is a big ol' pile of nothing but scenery and birdsong and brooding.
