Film Synopsis
After his divorce, Max Salinger, a flamboyant and self-centred writer of
some repute, refuses to accommodate his fifteen year old daughter under his
roof. The teenage girl is so upset by this rejection that she steals
her father's most recent manuscript before setting off on a winter class
trip. To recover his precious manuscript, Max has no option but to
follow his irksome offspring to the ski resort and pass himself off as her
accompanying parent. Unfortunately, Max is hardly the ideal parent
and he soon finds himself negotiating a very slippery slope...
