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.
Those grumpy old man, with prejudices and all those other foul trades. You just have to love them. Well if they are in a movie and most likely to be changed a lot by the end of it. This is no different than a couple of other movies in the same vain, that give us an "unlikely" hero (I know it never seems like the right way to describe them) who does go through major changes.
Is that something that you like to watch? Than you know what to do. It's not knee jerking comedy/humor of course, but more the subtle kind. Both have their merits and it does depend what your personal liking is. There was a buzz surrounding this, when it played in cinemas and it was very well deserved
