Hygge (pronounced ‘hoo-ga’) is a Danish term for the idea of creating joy and contentment in one’s everyday life. This sparkling comedy revolves around that concept in both humorous and revealing ways. When a group of seven friends gather for an extravagant dinner at a summer cottage, things start out harmoniously enough. For fun, though, they start a party game where everyone must share something that is on their phones, private or otherwise. Before too long, things begin to spill out that threaten to ruin what they are there for, the most important thing of all: the ‘hygge’. Beneath the happy surface of this group of friends, a series of personal ticking time bombs of secrets and intrigues lurk, and, as the evening progresses, the picture-perfect facade begins to crack. Amusing and incisive, HYGGE! offers still more evidence in favour of just turning those infernal mobile phones off.
