Ove is the quintessential angry old man next door. An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife’s grave, Ove has given up on life.
Enter a boisterous young family next door who accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox while moving in and subsequently earn his special brand of ire. Yet from this inauspicious beginning, an unlikely friendship forms and we come to understand Ove’s past happiness and heartbreaks. What emerges is a heartwarming tale of unreliable first impressions and the gentle reminder that life is sweeter when it's shared.
'A MAN CALLED OVE' STORIES
It's a classic set-up for a black comedy, and with its own Swedish flair, writer and director Holm finds a way to make it both dangerously amusing and often pensively moving.
