Storyline

59 year old Ove is the block's grumpy man who several years earlier was deposed as president of the condominium association, but he could not give a damn about being deposed and therefore keeps looking over the neighborhood with an iron fist. When pregnant Parvaneh and her family moves into the terraced house opposite and accidentally backs into Ove's mailbox it turns out to be an unexpected friendship. A drama comedy about unexpected friendship, love and the importance of surrounding yourself with the proper tools. After forty years of dedicated work on the railways, 59-year-old widower Ove Lindahl, a cantankerous creature of habit and the fear of his well-kept suburban neighbourhood, finds himself forced into retirement. And now that he has given up on life, Ove can watch over his gated community like a hawk and whittle down the monotony of his miserable existence. But life is as exciting as it is unexpected. Suddenly, a new next-door neighbour takes Ove by surprise, and a reluctant friendship gives him a new lease of life. However, is the cynical but sympathetic curmudgeon capable of change? — Nick Riganas
