Comedy, Drama, Romance

Four outsiders of three generations band together in a sweet and funny paean to non-conformism. After her husband's death, elderly Frida comes to know her introverted, friendless adult granddaughter, Lou, from whom she had long been kept apart by Frida's estranged daughter. Frida invites another misfit into her household: 10-year-old Tom, who welcomes the chance to spend time away from both his home and his bullying classmates. Meanwhile, Lou reluctantly gets drawn into a friendship with secondhand bookseller Henrik. A dry comedy of great charm and warmth.

Plot

LOU lives in the city with her mother Christine, her only living relative - she thinks. It therefore comes as a shock when she finds out that her grandparents have been alive all the while and that her grandfather Yngve just died. Lou moves in with her grandmother and gets her life overthrown. Frida flees her grieve by concentrating on helping gruffy 10 year old Tom to find something he's good at. Besides Frida and Toms's boisterous pranks Lou is subjected to romance for the first time when Henrik falls head over heels in love with her. Lou is forced to accepting the fact that she can be liked, express her own will and determine for her self what Home really is.
