It's For Your Own Good

Remake of the successful Spanish comedy "Es por tu bien" (2017). Arthur, a conservative business lawyer, Yus, a physiotherapist addicted to harmony, and Kalle, a construction worker with an exaggerated potential for aggression, don't have much in common at first glance - except for daughters who are newly in love. And none of the three fathers really agree with the taste in men of their offspring. In their eyes, the supposed future sons-in-law are anything but showpieces: one is a left-wing do-gooder, another a drug dealer, and the third an aging nude photographer. Together, Arthur, Yus and Kalle resort to highly unusual methods to get rid of the unpleasant guys once and for all.
